University Of Chicago Newspaper Sc
verely Criticises Athletics.
Chicago. Feb. Severe criticism Of
the athletic department of the univer-
sity of Chicago is made by the Daily
Maroon, the undergraduate newspaper
Of the Institution, in its issue of Tues
day.
In addition to charging the univer-
sity with PROSECUTING for students with
records in athletics, the Maroon attacks
intercollegiate athletics in general.
Some Of the charges are;
Candidates for the football team are
kept at work SO long that they cannot
make even a pretense Of studying
Students enter the university largely
because Of the opportunity Of exercising
their athletic proves.
Ninety-nine per cent. Of the students
take no part in athletics except to
shrek from the bleachers.
These 80 per cent. have an insane de-
sire to win and do not honor any team
which fails to come home with the
-poils. The remaining one per cent.
which takes part IN athletics. is physi-
ally injured BY the exercise involved.
These things explain the article main
trains "why college alumni are not tax
ing the active part in the affairs Of
the country they should" and account
for "much 81 the commercial and po'
litical dishonesty"

OPPOSITION DISAPPEARS

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.Repre-
sentative Mccall Of Massachusetts, who
introduced the resolution embodyng the
Canadian reciprocity, yesterday eN-
pressed the opinion that the treaty
would be accepted by the House at this
session of Congress. He said that much
of the opposition to the treaty had dis
appeared Il developed yesterday that
Secretary Knox will not appear before
the ways and means committee to-day,
as was previously announced The Sec
rotary OF state in document accom-
panying the presidents message, gave
all the information about the negotia-
tions which he felt called upon to di-
vulge to Congress. II is now explained
that for the ways and means committee
to ask Secretary Knox to relate in de-
tail the nature OF the conferences be-
tween the representatives of Canada and
the United States would be extremely
undipIomatic and an act which might
be resented by Canada.
