DROPPING ATHLETICS

Princeton, N. j., Jan. 25-A pos
sible prospectus of the manner in
which intercollegiate athletic compe-
ttition is to be treated by the Prince
ton University Athletic Association
this spring is given in an editorial in
the columns of the Princetonian.
The molders of student opinion take
rthe position that it will be for the
best interests of the university if in
tercollegiate competition is resumed
on a smaller scale, allowing less time
for practice and limiting schedules to
games which will not sufficiently stir
up undergraduates interest to detract
from attention to military training.
The opinion is based on the funda-
mental principle that no form of in
ftra-mural athletics can be adequately
:substited for intercollegiate compe-
ttition because of the lack of induce
,ment for students to take interest in
5the games.
Intra-mural- football last fall was
failure, not only because of the pitt
fully small number of candidates who
reported, but also because the student
W
terest. .
1t is felt, therefore, that if athletics
are to be made material means of
physical training, and thus military
training, they must take the form of
outside competition, with the conse-
quent award of letters and insignia
The Princetonian suggests, however.
that this outside competition be linn
fnd 70 wit ha Ia- ri
leges, on the ground that the big
games would serve only to unduly en-
phasize 1.-The importance of athletics
and tend to detrftct from the interest
in military drill. In defense of this
fopinion. it says:
MUCH depends on the spirit in
iwhich3 athletics are conducted. Il
there lis none of the show usually
connected. with the big football games
but ifSthere. is a general sameness il
the attitude toward intercollegiate
sports, then the resumption will be
justified.
The failure to have varsity foot
ball last fail had a most salutary eff
feet Most of the glamous of inter
collegiate athletics is linked with sucf
big football contests as those between
Harvard, Yale and Princetons, ant
their absence this year has, il
Princeton at least, tended toward ;
more sane and normal attitude towart
athletics that is certainly most desir
able.
: ''If this spirit be maintained will
regard to every sport, and if some o
the large overhead expense OF coach
ing is reduced, the resumption of in
Intercollegiate athletics is a wise policy
but if athletics are allowed to inter
fere in any way with military train
sing either because of the demands o
the time of those who are trying t
make the teams or because the team
occupy too large a place in the lif
and thought of the undergraduate!
it is better to seek some other meth
cd of physical training"

RED CROSS MEETING

Last Sunday afternoon, pur-
suant to call by the chairman
the Glenmora Branch, A. R. c.,
met at the Methodist church.
The attendance was good, and
the interest encouraging.
We have collected from all
sources over $500 and spent more
than 5000 which leaves us bal
ance of something like 5000 with
which to work.
Plans were made for future
work and we are sure we will
meet our part of the $4,000 as
signed to Rapides parish.
We feel proud of our work and
feel sure that we will grow in
mind and service as we better un
der stand the work.

AN ATROCIOUS CRIME

thought they We're playing; but
when some Of them got nearer
they saw a most gruesomo sight
in the stabbed and mutilated WO
man.
When Garcia and his wife
reached the lum Der run he threw
her down and cut her throat
from eaI to ear; before that he
had stabbed her in the arms; shO
uIders and other parts of the
body.
The motive for the crime is Va
riously stated: by some, that
Garcia said he was going to war
and he did not want any other
man to have her as he loved her
so we'll: by others it is alleged
that she was unfaithful. What
ever the motive the murder was
most brutal.
After staying his wife Garcia
came to Clenmora and surrender
ed to mayor A. G. Pringle and he
was taken to Alexandria and pl-
aced in Jail that night.
AS the jury is in session again
this week, his case, no doubt will
receive immediate attention at
the hands of the authorities and
lie will receive such punishment
as his fonl murder merits.
