VALLEY TEAM INVITED TO MEET
LOCAL ATHLETES HERE ON
APRIL. s19.

The Missoula high school track
team has agreed to meet the athletes
from Hamilton high in lMissoula April
10. Manager Stillman Ross SEM word
yesterday to the valley boys express
ing his Willingness to stage a track
meet here this month. Some days
ago the local school asked to be ad-
mitted to the Rayalli county meet.
The Hamilton high school officials
toe no action upon his request, u
sent word to Missoula hat a dual
meet would be popular with the val
ley team. There is no suitable track
in Hamilton and Missoula was asked
to entertain the valley athletes. Yes
terday the high school students con-
sidered the matter and decided to hold
the meet, provided Hamilton would ac-
cept April 10 as the date.
The high school squad is working
hard already, despite the inclemcnt
weather. Some of the distance men
have been at work all winter, run
ming through the snoW for long hikes
on the flat. For the last month all
of the sprinters who are not basket
ball men have been running a mile or
two each day so that the squad is in
splendid shape. Now the schools en-
tire attention has been turned toward
the track team. Preliminary practice
will be continued until warm weather

PEERLESS LEADER AND BRAlNY
LIEUTENANT TAKE LONG
HIKE IN MUD.
TO WORK AT PARK TODAY
Blank Will Lead a Small Army of
Fungo-Chasers Out to the Field To-
day for Preliminary Practice-VaI-
ley Not in It.

Don't worry, friend fan, you won't
have to walk to Hamilton to see the
Highlanders in spring practice unless
the park is swallowed by an earth
quake or flooded by the. river. And
even earthquake and flood will nave
to hurry, for spring practice, such as
it is, begins IN the old field this after
noon. That's no April Fools day
stuff, either. It's the real dope.
AS a matter of fact spring practice
officially started yesterday. Some
where along ten miles of muddy road
in south Missoula are several pounds
of surplus flesh that started out with
Manager Blankenship and Mig Perrine
yesterday but couldn't hold the pace.
The Peerless Leader and the Brains
of the Infield' started yesterday
afternoon on a long hike. They got
back just in time for dinner, winded,
tired, but somewhat lighter. This
afternoon they will drop roadwork
and chase fungoes.
Blank took q squint at the field
yesterday afternoon as he and Mig
were. rolling past INC decided to work
on it today. The outfield is so dry
that it's dusty and Blank and Mig and
a few other faithful one will turn u
this afternoon and run after high
ones. 1t was rumored last night that
President Hugh Campbell would show
the youngsters how to play ball, but
the dope wasn't exactly official
Anyhow, some of the past and
present stars will be or the job, with
the idea of getting the grounds in
shape before the players to
arrive.
But that isn't all the spring train
ing news. Yesterday Frank Dasch-
bach collected his warclubs, and be-
gan polishing n scraping them for
the seasons battles. The. two sticks
that helped put New Haven in the
limelight last year have been soaking
in oil for a week or so and Dash says
they are loaded with hits. Another
club, presented by a local sporting
goods store, will be given the oil
treatment at once.

st. Joseph, April 1.-Although own
er Jack Holland of the st. Joseph ball
club will manage his team from the
bench again this season, he realizes
the value of having a leader in the
actual play, and for this reason has
appointed Edward Dutch Zwilling,
the former Chicago White Sox out
fielder, captain of the 1913 team.
ZWilling in addition to being one of
the best hitters in the Western league,
is Il popular player around the circuit
on account of his good disposition. He
hit .352 last year
ZWilling, although l~eft-handed,
played second base in a few games
last summer, but it is likely thai he
will be placed at first base this spring,
to fill the vacancy Baker Borton left
when he went to the Chicago Whit
Son.

WRITER IN VALE NEWS SAYS
THAT PRESENT SYSTEM is
NOT BENEFICIAL.
ARE NOT SPORT At ALL
College Games Are Conducted as a
Business, and All Benefit From Ath-
Ietic Training Goes to Few Giants
Toe Much Notoriety in Daily Press.

New York, March 29.-The question
of whether athletics are carried too
far in American colleges and uniVer-
stiles is one for considerable debate.
intercollegiate sports under existing
conditions have come up from time to
time for much criticism. The worst
fault, it seems, lies in the fact that
too few undergraduates are able to
compete in the various branches. NAL
colin X. Gordon, an authority on the
club system of athletics, say that the
present system is wrong. He points
out the evils in the modern collegiate
system in the yale Alumni News
in part as follows;
college athletics, according to the
generally accepted term. refer to
those gigantic spectacular attractions
where a few athletes perform before
the eyes of thousands of good Ameri-
can citizens who would have us be-
lieve that our country is athletic be
cause we are willing to build a great
stadium and pay high prices for seats
therein. Certainly our college ath-
letics are carried too far, when, as
has been the case for many years, only
a small fraction of the student body
has a chance to play naturally in
games that require grounds and
buildings. If we allow that athletics
are to be encouraged for the physical
benefit of the college in general then
these great contests between colleges
accomplish but little, because the few
men who represent the college are
necessarily the most physically per
feet and need this development least
of all men.
again, college athletics have gone
too far, when we consider the I'M
wholesome notoriety given to athletes
in the daily press. The commercial
ism which has been built up within
and without our colleges, the money
made by the college athletic associa-
tons directly or Indirectly from the
muscular proWess of a few athletes,
together with the agreement of the
vendors of athletic goods whereby
both parties again make profits, these
and similar conditions where COM
mercialism has OVerShadOWed not only
craftsmanship but even the amateur
standard of o Il college athletes are
the pernlClouS elements that have put
our college athletics in a bad plight.
When a college reduces athletics to 4
business proposition and then makes
enormous sums thereby, certainly, to
any true sportsman and amateur, ath-
letics have gone to excess in that par
ticular.
"Athletics and sport in our colleges
are, l am sorry to say, vastly differ
ent terms. Athletics are work, sport
Is play, and sport ceases to be play
when it becomes a business, College
a hletics are a business, a great pay
ing business, too, supported by the
masses who get little or no actual
physical benefit from them. All en-
ergies are directed in lines that will
produce one winning crew or team
which monopoliZes the limited fucili-
ties for sport"
