sport, in which he had charge of the
finances. is a matter open to discussion,
but there is growing aversion among
the men who really earn their letters IN
competition toward the giving of them to
men who have only their work as Dusl-
ness managers to support the claim.
The main protest against the giving OF
the letter to the managers of the various
teams generally comes from the men who
have won the right to wear it through
actual competition. and their feelings in
regard to the sentiment involved can cas-
lily be understood. Any man who has the
right to wear his college letter does not
look with favor on another man wearing
the same insignia unless he has been
through the same mill that he has. A
foot ball player. for instance, looks back
on the months of grinding toll that he has
spent on the gridiron with 4 measure Of
pride and the letter he wears. he feels. is
Indicative Of what he has done along that
line and that line alone. Consequently, it
is with natural aversion that he looks
upon any other mans wearing the same
letter which stands for something that
has not been accomplished 1t is the gen.
eral idea that when man is seen wear
ing letter 1t, is evidence that he
won it by actual play, and thus when a
manager is seen with a sweater on which
is the insignia of his college 1t is. as 1t
We're, handing out a false impression
But there is another angle to the ar
gument, and that is that in point Of real
service given a manager does as much
work and really puts in more time in
season than does any individual member
of team The managers work not only
extends during the season, but also in
vacation. as through the summer months
he must be arranging his schedule and
other minor things pertaining to a sue
cessful season in any branch of sport.

ing and preparing for the games that are
to be played and who when he succeeds
never receives praise and who when he
fails, even in the slightest PARTICULAR.
comes in for the greatest amount OF cen
sure. But as an argument to refute this
the letter men in many of the schools
say that the real brunt of the work does
not fall on the manager himself, but on
the corps of assistants which he gener-
ally has around him to do his bidding.
That one physical director has come
out with the statement that boxing Will
be developed to a greater extent in TINS
country than ever in future years Is only
yoicing what has been felt and noticed
for some time. Even in professional
circles there is not the an.ipathy toward
the game there used to be, and among
the colleges it is being taken up ana
exploited to greater extent than ever.
There is no doubt that boxing is one
of the best forms of physical exercise,
there being no branch of athletics which
brings into play as many muscles as
does the manly art, unless it be foot
BALL There have been rumors of an IN
tercollegiate boxing league. and it would
not be at all surprising to see one formed

A tennis expert takes exception to the
many criticisms that have been heaped
upon the American teams which went to
Australia to attempt to lift the Davis
cup. The following is the substance OF
