EDITORIAL COMMENT
Son and His Coach

In a few weeks tens of thousands
Of .Narents In all parts Of the country
will enter their sons in college for the
approaching session. They unques-
tionably expect, have right to expect,
that these boys will be subjected by
the university authorities to sane, ele-
waiting influences. And so far as con-
Germs the character Of the men under
whcm they must work in the class
rooms, this expectation will not be dis
appointed. The teaching STATS of the
American universities, with rare eX-
cGptions, consist of men and women
of high standards and correct ideals.
Less universally can this be said Of
of the athletic teams. Some, indeed
many, behave themselves as conforms
with university duty Others are en-
tirely unsuitcd for the task of train
ing fmDressionablc youths OF the col
lcyc age. Yet the influence Of the
athletic coach upon the mind and
ideals OF those under his charge is far
greater than that gained through
classroom instructor.
So strenuous has become intercol-
lcgiatc athletic competition that, IN
the desire to win, the larger aspect
OF moral training is often lost sight
of. If coach oan be secured who is
capable of turning out successful

teams, the methods he pursues are
only too often overlooked. The parent
does not often make very careful in
yestigation as to the coaches under
whom his son would have to serve.
What If he did? If he discovered that
they instructed their charges IN un-
derhant tricks, If they insisted that
it was legitimate to break the rules
provided the umpire was deceived, If
they countenanced Billingsgate, in a
word, if their influence tended to de-
grade rather than to elevate, he might
well transfer the boy to some other
institution.
by so doing, the parents not only
would protect his own son, but he
would do much to protect other
young men as well, for when it is
known that the methods of certain
coaches are driving good material to
rival colleges their services will no
longer be in demand.-Ncw York Sun.

The Teaser.'' Gives
An @ Their Fling
To the Flapper
Eair-so-Middling Comedy at
Playhouse Is Helped by
Miss Binney and Is
Hurt by Third Act
THE CAST
By Haywood Broun

"The Teaser" has third act in
which young girl comes to n man
rooms at night, drinks his champagne
and cries, 81 want to go home!" Never
theiess, the new comedy which was
produced at the Playhouse last night
provides fair to middling entertain
ment. At first it promises more than
that. An excellent idea is allowed to
stump. In the beginning we find that
Mrs. Teddy Wyndham has agreed to
give homo to her young niece from
rural Michigan. To her horror the
young miss proves to be not only dis
tressingly beautiful, but a hick, flirt
and liar. Moreover, she entangles
,he affections of almost all Mrs. Wynd-
mans beaux and raises general rue
tons until she providentially elopes
ana marrles still another sutton quite
outside the circle.
Martha M. Stanley and Adelaide
Mathews are more experienced in farce
than IN comedy, and they cannot keen
quite clear of their old love. The
young mans apartment in the third act
is invaded by as many characters as if
1t were lady's bedroom. The authors
have also availcd themselves of the
privilege, generally reserved to farce
writers, OF empowering q character to
refuse an explanation of suspicious cir
cumstances when the explanation would
not only be easy and simple but the
thing. which the person in question
would hasten to give any place in the
world except in the third act of four
act play. 1t is traditional, we know,
that heroine should step out of the bed
room to save her little sister, but when
we find the same sacrifice being made
for niece, and particularly unat-
tractive one, we feel that family 10y
atty is being carried too far. Blood
is not as thick as that. Even audiences
are not.
If the spectator is willing to spot the
playwrights to one conspicuously bad
act, it is only fair to say that other
wise they have done rather amusing

This element has become serious

petty annoyances to physical violence

occurred with frequency in the con-

procedure of appearing before the

chat the demand for an adjustment of

JOB. Very little Of 1t has enough truth
TO be frat rates but then there never Is
much of this commodity in the theater.
For instance, 1T Is our impression that
the authors of "The Teaser" have over
estimated by far the lure of youthful
vapidity, however beautiful. The NV
erage man--let's take somebody we all
know, such as the gentleman who would
walk mile to get Camel--would run
another rather than be left alone with
tlirtatious miss in her teens. Pos
sibly it is only the hot weather, but the
willingness of all the male characters
in the play to join the happer in pet
ting parties WAS to us quite incompre-
hensiblc.
Not that Faire Binncy did not do
well with tho role. 1t seemed to us
an excellent performance. All the
things which Miss Kinney does we'll
contributed to successful illusion,
and even q few faults, such as n rather
squeaky enunciation, fitted into the
character. Jane Grey we did not like
as we'll. She was vigorous and some
times imaginative in business, but the
finish and style Of the rather magnifi-
cant person whom the authors APP
peared to have in mind were not there.
John Cromwell, an exceedingly skillful
actor, did not seem in the least at
home in his third act seduction scene,
but since we would not have believed it
in any case the unhealthy Of the business
can hardly be charged against Mr..
Cromwell, Leonard Wiley was pleasant
and Bruco Elmorc seemed good, al
though we rather think he was helped
good deal by an excellent role, q
role from which he did not quite get
full value. Most of the others are not

When Air Circus lis Staged
at Annual Convention TO
Be Held at Kansas City

A division in the ranks of the Amer
lean Legion in New York County
which may have serious outcome
has arisen as result of The actor
OF the county committee at its meet
ing last Monday night.
When resolution was introduced
by I. ]. Rackotf pledging the Legior
against acts of violence and general
lawlessness alleged to have been in
dulged in by 'some of its members
and posts" it was impossible for the
chairman to restore order for many
minutes. Finally the resolution was
defeated by IA heavy majority, but the
minority which had rallied to its sup-
port refused to accept the ruling and,
shouting its defiance left the meeting,
The resolution read:
"Whereas, The American Legion has
jately been publicly attacked upon the
charge of having shown an alleged
spirit of lawlessness on the part of
some of its members and posts and
upon the further charge of having
failed to take any steps to curtail
alleged lawless action;
"Now, therefore, be it resolved, That
the American Legion of New York
County Indignantly repudiates this
adamant for law and order and for
Justice under the law, and believing
That men are free to think as they
will, to speak as they will, to write as
they will provided thereby they do
not trespass on the like privileges Oh

itseif as condemning any activities in
the direction Of suppressing that rich
inheritance from our fathers, the most
cherished of all rights guaranteed by
the Constitution-the lawful exercise
of freedom of speech, freedom of the
press and freedom of public meet
ings;
"Be it further resolved, That copies
of these resolutions be forwarded to
the state executive committee, to our
national commander and natioaal
executive committee nd to the press"
The resolution had been passed by a
number of New York posts, among
them Murray Hill, 10th Infantry, 3o6th
infantry, Morningside, William H.
Chandler, Belvidere Brooks, 306th
Field Artillery and Schoolmans. More
than half the New York County posts
rejected the resolution or tabled it
without taking definite action.
