Long Ago and Now.

Twenty years ago the would-be par
tIcipant in social life made calls every
week day in the season, not like now
adays. when unless you are on very
intimate footing and are welcome to
a Sunday afternoon drawing room, you
carry on the personal touch in your best
friends life by calling them up on the
phone with reasonable frequency and
may never see the inside of their home
once a year unless you go there to
dinner or family wedding.
1t was not so in that long ago. You
had friends on Capitol Hill in plenty
Everybody did and YOU made your way
there every Monday that you owed a
call and if you were going about
merely for social Impressions you could
find them that way. too. There were
mighty agreeable quarter hours to
spend at Justice Fields or at Senator
kenna's in the same neighborhood,
or across the Capitol gardens at Mrs.
Lander's home. other oId-fashioned
homes were all around the locality,
the same kindly hospitality offered at
each whether the visitor was a big
or just a little bug. The stretch down
to the marine barracks was a Mon

ten points as well as six. At the same
time the authority of the Rules Com

ton, and If a precedent were started by
which two teams would disregard this
particular rule and flaunt intercollegiate
sentiment it wouldn't be long before they
might be waving some other rules and
we would have all kinds of trouble.
The only objection made to the rule is
that it prohibits honest coaches from
utilizing this position TO watch the work
of their men, and they can get this in
formation only from the preliminary
games. It is rather late in the day to
raise this point, and since the rule is
on the book it ought to be observed to
the letter.
There is no more reason why a foot
ball coach should be on the field than
that there is for track coach to be on
the track during a dual or intercollegiate
meet. The !. c. A A. A. A. forbids all
trainers and coaches from being on the
track or within the enclosure during a
championship meet. For the same reasons
coaches are barred from track and field
in all the important dual meets. Track
authorities feel that coaches get all the
information they need about the work
of their men from their daily training.
