white house and strolled down Penn
sylvaria avenue. closely followed by
two secret service men.
The president led the way at a
swinging gait To the scoreboard in

cratically with a group of other base
ball enthusiasts. When he discovered

FOR
ALL STUDENTS
Efforts Being Made to Broaden
Scope at State University

The big problem of all athletic prob
country are called upon 10 solve Is
that Of the physical development of
each individual student. The gSmna-
siums are carrying their share of the
responsibility in an admirable man
ner but their field is limited To in
door work and Their has been a grow
ing realization that some broad com
prehensiVe system of outdoor activity
must he developed before the Univer-
stiles can be considered as fully meet
ing their obligation to the students
as Il whole i'm the matter of their prop
er physical development.
The credit Of taking active steps in
this direction on the part of the I'm
iVersty Of Michigan is largely due to
the untiring interest and efforts of
Professor \. $. Whitney, Chairman
of it's Athletic Board
The coming year will see Floyd A..
Rowe in charge of this work aud be
cause of his wide experience In di-
recting general athletics activities in
large schools, it may be safely pre-
dcted that he Will most successfully
broaden this field of work at the Tn
iversity.
Rowe started his athletic career as
track man, football and baseball
player in Battle Creek High School
Michigan. Entering the University in
the fall Of 1904. he won his IN" the
| following four years, running on the
teams that took the four mile college
relay championship at Philadelphia
those four years and competing twice
i'm both the Western and Eastern In
Intercollegiate Meets. In 1905. he broke
the Western record and in 1907 he
broke the Eastern record in the two
mile race. lie capitalized the track
team his senior year 1908. Since
graduation ho has coached football,
| basketball baseball. track and minor
sports in Butte and Helena, Montana
| high schools.
| Mr.. Rowe is assured the encourage
ment and support of the athletic ac-
! tivities for they consider this depart
ment of work most important To
| give some idea of the broad scope
of this work il might be said that n
large field house capable of accom-
modating 45O men at one time is now
i'm course of construction, that the
number Of tennis courts have been in
creased from Is to q the past year
that an extra cinder track has been
built for general use and that 3S acres
of ground in addition To the present
80 acres has recently been purchased
on which will be laid out football

types OF athletic play grounds.

HAVE RESPECT
FOR M'L0UGHL|N
British Critics Admit He is the
Greatest Tennis Player

London, Aug, 23.-The loss Of the
Dwight j.. Davis cup. emblematic Of
the worlds lawn tennis championship
IN doubles, which went July % To a
team ol American players, has been
followed by the usual stream of jour
naistic criticism, devoid, however. of
that acrmony which marked British
comment on the outcome of the last
olympic games.
The chief subject of this postmor-
TEN investigation is the American
smash" service. An anonymous writ
er in the Standard began the discus
sion by denouncing the smash serv-
ice as "A trick stroke which should be
barred by legislation, just as the spot
shot was i'm billiards. The CORE
Sp0ndence thus started has gone mer-
rily forward with the opponents of
the famous service apparently i'm the
minority. The discussion has broad
cned until 1t includes the question of
the propriety of including lawn tennis
in the playing curriculum of the pub
lie schools and the problem of replac-
ing the present English veterans with
younger players.
Underlying all of the criticism and
suggestions are indications of disap-
pointment over tie defeat, which lead
some correspondents To deplore the
whole controversy as evidence that the
English are bad losers. one advocate
of the American game concludes his
letter as follows
The present wailing seems To me
To be more suited to a kindergarten
than to nation of sportsmen."
Another, signing herself Athletic
Girl" says II have read the letters
and articles on the loss of the Davis
cup with increasing irritation. The
iuost alarming symptom of the de-
cadence of English sport is the spirit
in which defeats are taken. We no long
er uphold out traditions and take our
beatings like men, but whine and sniv-
el in the columns of the daily press
as To the reasons of our defeat
one thing in which practically all
the critics agree is that Maurice r.
Mclaughlin. one of the American
players, has proven himself the SEN
sation of the year on English courts.
one critic declares that at his pest
the Californian is the greatest player
that ever lived, being better than
either of the Dohertys in their prime
and that at his worst only the players
in the very front rank Of worlds ten
mis- have any chance OF beating him.
This critic points out that Anthony f.
Winding only beat Mclaughlin after
the American had player through all
the rounds Of a great tournament and
that ]. G. Parke defeated him in hVe
set match in which the Californian
took the majority Of strokes ana
games.

~IRECRACKERS are out of style, SO daddy told Jack ana Evelyn when
N they begged for some with which to make lively the Fourth of July.

neighbors too much"
Il don't see how they could be search Jack urged. arhey know We
would be very CAREFUL
"Ah, do theya' daddy answered, smiling. aThat lis very nice. Little Sam
me Simpson was one of the very careful boys. MN ##
"Erecrackers were not the fashion i'm the town In which he lived. SO the
summer he went to- visit his grandfather and grandmother he begged ii hard
to be allowed plenty of them that the old folks at last agreed.
"They had a large place, with no neighbors very close to them. and SO
when grandpa went to town he got some of the very largest frecrackers he
could get He also bought plenty of rockets and roman candles and colored
fire for the evening. &
Grandma did not want them in the house, To- grandpa put them I'm the
she'd, which was used for the storing Of rubbish. Grandma felt uneasy about
having them there, although it was quite a distance from the house.
"Sammie could hardly wait for the Fourth to come. He teased and leased
Just to be allowed to try one little cracker. So the evening before the Fourth
grandpa said, Well as tomorrow is the Fourth, T suppose we might try one OF
those rockets ####SaN# ####
Grandma groaned You'll be very, very careful, she warned. You know
it's a good while since you've sent up any rockets,
GRANDPA laughed boyishly. As lie I could ever forget how to send up
rockets! he answered. 4
Grandpa and Snmmie went out to the little shed In which the fireworks
were stored, and grandpa picked up a rocket He took it out into the yard and
set it up. Now. you know, a rocket must be set into the ground very straight
Ii you want it to sail up to the sky. perhaps grandma was right Grandpa was
a little out Of practice AT any rate when lighted that rocker sized and sput
tered and with a sideWay dive curved over and went straight into the door OF
the shed where the fireworks were. The door was covered with shavings, and
in a minute there was a display of fireworks such as had never been seer
around there before. The fire company came to put out the fire, ana there was
a lively time for a little while. The shed was burned down, but no one was
hurt except grandpa, who blshGed his hands and face.
1.-THE next day was the Fourth and Samnie had no Rreworks. And Y
guess I don't mind any, he confded to grandma. we had plenty OF fireworks
last night " @s ##
