No matter what the weather may be.
the Christmas favOrs should carry out
the idea OF snow and cold weather.
One Of the daintiest favors for the
Christmas dinner table Is the SNOWFALL

mounted by a sprig Of holly. When
these are augmented by the huge ball
for the center. which Is also made Of
paper and has Il rich red ribbon draped
across it aud Is trimmed with holly.
the whole Christmas atmosphere il
complete. Another appropriate place
ment IS the funny snow man with his
black stovepipe hat and beady eyes.
He, too, can be made In a large size
and used for the center piece. Then
there are green baskets with holly
perched jauntily on the handle, poin-
settias and Santa Clauses. There Is
no lack Of ingenuity IN gay holiday

ND COMMENT

sports. with recommendation for the
betterment Of college athletics and n
clearer definition OF the rules governing g
the same.
a plea for a system OF collegiate ath-
letics IN which every student would have
a chance to participate was made by Dr.
Harry a. Garfield, president of Williams
College Doctor Garfield pointed out that
many students were barred from active
participation in college athletics because
OF their inability to make the first team
IN the sport I'm which they were inter-
ested, and an effort should he made TO
encourage these men. Among the other
things suggested was the organization OF
additional teams.
Dean Howard MCClenahan, OF Prince
ton University, spoke on athletic stand
ards and approved OF the faculty con-
trolling all athletic activities in the col
leEes. The reason why the faculty should
control athletics. he said Is because It's
members are better equipped than stu
dents or graduates TO uphold certain
standard which Is essential in athletics.
