THE BANTAMS.

One of the objections to college
athletics aiss that only few of the
student bpdy take part in the inter-
collegiate contests, or even in the in
ter-class contests. If football and
baseball furnish proper courses of
physical training for the students of
the schools and colleges, it is desir-
able that as many of these students
as possible take part in the training.
In the high school games only the
older and larger boys play. But in
Abbeville we think there are some
thirty-five or forty Of the faithful
who every afternoon 60 to the ball
park to practice. The smaller boys
who are, not yet prepared to play in
the major contests are, getting d, the
required training: So. that :whep they
are old enough and large enough TO
put on long pants, they will know
how the game, gis played.
1t would not be out of place, how
ever, we,:think;: for some provision
to be made r:gapes of these young
er students. A little time back we
suggested that boys of certain ages
and weights should not be allowed
to play in high school games. We
still think these suggestions wise. We
think now that we might improve on
the suggestions by having high school
students divided into different class
es. We might have the welter weights,
the middle weights and the bantams
and games might be arranged for
the different classes. This would con-
tribute to the scheme of giving all
the boys. training. And if the heavy
weights at Abbeville could not win,
then we might fall back on Bantam
Bradley, Bantam Mcmillan, Bantam
Bowie, Bantam Howie, Bantam Neuf-
fer, Bantam Greene and others. The
subject might be discussed at the
next meeting Of the Parent-teacher
Association. ".:. K

with an agreement to limit navies.
by Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of the United States Steel Cor.
poration, in an address today before
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute of which. he is president. He also
belittled the suggestion that arma-
ment limitation would reduce the
manufacture Of steel, saying the
thought was unworthy of even a
passing notice. Business was i'm
proving, he said, but there must be
further adjustments. p. .,!d,.. s,,i2a

woulds not seem to be practical to
stop with less than a final treaty

addition to what is contemplated by
the limitation of armament there
should, with other things, be an un-
derstanding that if any internation-

He asserted that the international

Reinforcements on the way from

noon. The miners retreated, leaving
four prisoners and three automobiles in

Friction between strikers and the
