to the non-athletic student. He, poor SOUL
has to stand on his own merit
But free tutoring isn't the only kind of help
the college athlete receives. There is dis
tressingly large number of college athletes
who seem to think that because of their skill
some one owes them tuition and living.
Scholarships find their way to athletic ap-
plicants, and it is astonishing how many
good positions are found for young men who
can do something in athletics 1t is a situa-
ton for which the athletes are not so much
TO blame as are enthusiastic alumni. AT the
Naval Academy the midshipmen receive an
income from the Government and, therefore,
are not subject to quite the same tempta-
ton as the collegians
The evils of athletics here referred to are
not confined to any particular locality or in
stitution. Nor are they any worse in the
Naval Academy than in the big universities
of the country. One educational institution
is no worse than another. It's all human
nature and the standard both of honesty
among students and of amateurism In ath-
letics is precisely as high as the honesty of
mankind, no more and no less. The future
may see the millennium in college sports, but
right now the structures on athletics at
Annapolis can be applied with equal force to
virtually every American university.
Some day some one will write the diary OF
a college athlete, 1t will be Illuminating and
it will be interesting.

second victory of this sort which has fallen
to Germany. The first transport sunk went
down, however, with little loss of life.
Passenger ships and battleships have
sunk under submarine attack, and these
swift disasters have occupied the public mind
to such an extent that this war has been
called a submarine war.

Britains own notable submarine achieve

her misfortune.
Nothing is added to the worlds knowledge
of the submarine by this exploit, although it
was accomplished very far from Germany's

triumph for Germany and leaves only the

themselves to their proper prey from the be-
