Sports for All

Lamenting over the hippodroming of
college sports to the decay Of general
athletics is one Of the oldest of indoor
games. 1t is done by college graduates
who never in their lives have exercised
beyond the lowering of themselves into
the subway and the hosting of them
selves out again incidental to a down.
town job. For much hard sense and
clear analysis Of the problem we quote
from an article by Mr.. Lawrence Perry
IN The Eccning Post. The view out
lined is the sensible one, that funds are
needed to excite intramural sports, and
not much else. Oxford, it seems, assesses
every student approximately SIS for ath-
letlc fees; and intramural athletics at
Oxford have always been the envy Of all
eccd Americans. Or. for the purely
American anGla here is an expert view.
quoted from Corncll's instructor in ath
letics, Al Sharpe, together with Mr..
Perrys comment:
MY observation has been that the
average college student is too daraed lazy
to make any comprehensive progrHmme Of
intramural athletics successful unless the
programme is compulsory He would
rather attend an afternoon pink tea than
exert himself at game in which he is not
proficient"
Is this not also true? And is it not
true also that the spectaclcs provided bv
intercollegiate sport. especially those in
football, which are immensely profitable
financially, have been making it possible
Tor years past FOR the minor sports to ex-
lst. and that these minor sports. so called,
constitute practically all we in America
have had of a sports for all programme?
Compulsory athletics may be the an
swer. But judging by the relative fail
ure of compulsory studies as compared
with voluntary athletics, it seems the last
resort of failure. If educators could
only find some way of securing the same
devotion and intensity toward required
books that any crew or football team ap-
plies gladly toward its training the earth
could net hold our wisdom
Much is being done as matter of
fact, in all our colleges to develop sports
for all in a perfectly natural manner.
Fields and equipment have been sadly
lacking These are Being obtained The
interest and spirit are slowly following.
And the very important matter Of
1lnance, Of dollars and cents, upon which
all athletics must be builded, is being
taken care of along the lines suggested
by Mr.. Perry. The hippodroming not
only thrills the spectator student, but
finances his own exercise At least, it
will if he can learn to care as much for
his physical prowess az an Oxford man
does, for instance.

T;ght-Wad" Gratitude

Why should y returned soldier or
sailor have to depend for Il meal, a
railroad ticket or the cost of some trivial
pleasure on The good will of relatives,
friends or even strangers? Stories with
out end are abroad about the straits
in which men in the army and navy
find themselves in raising cash to meet
ordinary wants because of the govern
ment's failure to pay salaries due them
1t is even said that so constant is the
appeal for funds from home that sharp
ers have gone into the business of per
sonating soldiers and sailors and swind-
ling the home folks by wire; for no one
stops to think twice when he hears the
old story of the Gelinouency Of govern
ment pay checks.
1t is 4 scandal that the men who
fought should have been held up by the
pay officials for months at q time and
should have to land in this country prac-
tically pcnniless. The government is
tough and procrastinating debtor. But
all its records for closeness and lack of
consideration for those who deal with it
and serve il are eclipsed by the shabby
treatment which the men now under the
colors have received.
Why must the government be a eight
wad' even to the heroes who went
abroad aud carried the flag to victory?
New-York tribune., 1919-01-06

FREDERICK SCOTT OLIVER, in his
"Ordcal by Battc' called the pro
fessors the "prestcraft' through
whom the German government Underlined
the German people. Professor Emery called
the war Of the economic interpreta-
ton Of history. Others have called it a
professors war, and especially an economic
professors war
Some among the very group of German
teachers who stirred the enthusiasm out of
which this association grew. and more
among their successors, in their service of
"the state" helped to lay the foundation
for the war. That foundation, or the part
of it which they helped to lay, was preda-
tory economics-the economies of beast
OF prey. the economies of loot By war.
In this species Of economies property
rights had existence only within the state,
not between states Even before the wax
Germany's policy CT foreign trade was
thoroughly selfish. Transportation and
manufacturing interests, backed by the
German banks and the German army and
navy had gone into the foreign markets TO
eXpel the commerce OF other countries by
fair means or foul, all for the national
aggrandizement of Germany
In view of these facts it clearly behoovcs
us just now to undergo a searching self
examination lest this same fatal tant may
lurk in our own American economies, which
we have taken, in part, from Germany. If
We contrast German and English economics
we cannot but be struck by the narrowncss
and selfishncss Of the former as contrasted
with the breadth and liberality of the lat
ter. The contrast is cXemplfied by the dif-
ference between the spirit of free trade"
and "protection." Though the English pol
icy was dictated in large part by the con
viction that it represented England's own
interests in the long run, the great fact re
mains that these interests were not sought
at the expense of other peoples, but on the
principle that boih parties gained by
trade. and in the thought that nothing more
than free, fair open competition ought to
be sought This doctrine of olive and let
live" has jim it few seeds of war.
If now at the final peace negotiations the
German style of economics is to dominate
the settlement will degenerate into race
for position "and the devil take the hind
most If the Allies should rorudate their
own ideas-namey, The ideas Of intcrna-
tlonal reciprocity in trade relations and Of

those of today are for one and three
years with no reserve clause. The
fact that stations in all parts of the
country have been reopened &C
counts for Sergt. Skees' return to
South Bend
Skees Came i'm 1914.
Sergt. Skees first came TO South
Bend on recruiting duty in 1914. He
had soldiered in the Philippines
during the uprisings in 1901, 1902
and 1908. He first enlisted during
the Spanish-American war in 1898
from Wayne county, o., and enjoy
ed the distinction of being the only
man in the county to volunteer for
the war After several weeks Of
training with the 22nd u. S. infan-
try at Tampa, he left the Florida
training camp for the Philippines.
There he remained for the greater
part of three enlistments. His serv-
ice record swelled rapidly in the
Philippines as foreign service in
that part of the world counted
double time A man who served
nine years, for instance. in the
Philippines, was credited with IS
years of actual service and paid &C.
cordingly. Returning TO this coun.
try from the Philippines, Sergt.
Skees soldiered at several eastern
stations.
In 1914 he was relieved from &C
tual garrison duty and detailed to
South Bend for recruiting service.
South Bend has always been an ex-
cellent recruiting city. The number
| of recruits increased greatly during
Sergt. Skees' first years here.
Break Records Rere.
Finally just before the outbreak
of the war in April. 1917, the local
office broke all local recruiting rec
ords. The fire Of patriotism spread
as this country was drawn closer
into the war. until April 9. 1911
