Talking on athletics at a dinner of
Princeton alumni In ST. Louis, W. w.
Roper, head coach of the Tiger foot
ball eleven, emphasized the impor-
lance and value of physical education.
He said, in part:
1T cannot be cOntended with any
chance of success that athletics are
the most important thing in college; ;
they are not, but they contribute with
other things to develop the well round
ed boy, and this is the boy we need
and ought to have in America.
1.-The boy of from eighteen to twen-
ty-twO is a pretty vigorous sort of an
animal, and l submit if he didn't have
his athletic ideals and his general in
terest in athletics he might turn to
worse things.
eff boys at Princeton or anywhere
else didn't have the types like Johnny
Poe and HOBBY Baker to admire and
look up to, they might admire the
dead-game gambler or the dead-game
sport. You can make up your mind
they are going to admire somebody.
what AtnIeuC loedf edCneS.
what does the athletic ideal teach
a boy? 1t teaches him to take care
of and develop his body and to lead
a life that will make him stronger and
more vigorous. And in doing so, he is
fitting himself for the bigger, broader
battle beyond the gridiron or the base
ball diamond.
81 had some friends whose only child
was boy, just at the age when he
thought it smart to smoke cigarettes
and his father and mother COULDN'T
stop it. He clearly showed that what
he was doing was hurting his health
| suggested to his family that the boy
come TO Princeton some Saturday witt
me-
Il took him down to the training
house, introduced him to the member:
of the team, and casually mentioned
the training rules and regulations
telling him no man could play on th'
team who used tobacco. We left Sun
day night, and several weeks after
ward the delighted father and mother
told me the boy had stopped smoking
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1921-11-12

The example of the football player
had accomplished IL.
Every business executive is scour-
ing the country for men who will play
the game for the love of the job and
not by the time-clock. You can cover
a man with Phi Beta Kappa keys as
much as you want, but unless there is
behind it a vigorous body as well as
vigorous mind, he won't be able to
carry through.
IF there is one cardinal principle
of Americanism it can be safely said
to be grit There are times when you
have to force your heart and nerve
and sinew long after they are spent,
and so hold on when there is nothing
in you except the will that says to
you, Hold on
mo man can get into athletics and
not have courage and grit. Look at
the faces of the contestants in a 100
yard dash as they break the tape :;
they are giving everything they have
got, and often more.
~ Athletics Win War.
General Macarthur. who is super
| intendent at West Point, when in
Princeton last fall told me he be-
lieved athletics contributed as much
to winning the war as anything else.
The American boy who had played
football and baseball was mighty fine
! raw material for the soldier. Today
athletics are compulsory at West Point
and Annapolis.
1.-The best lesson taught by athletics
is that of craftsmanship. No man can
be a true athlete and be a cad or a
snOb. The true golfer certainly would
get no enjoyment out of kicking his
ball into a good lie. even If it meant
the game, nor would any true sports
man enjoy making a home run If he
had to cut third base TO do 1t. Sports
manship is the foundation of business.
1.-The American and English soldier
had been so schOoled that they played
the dirty game of war so that il lost
some of its intrinsic horror. No one
who had played cricket or football,
could have possibly drowned babies or
murdered unarmed civilians"

Big Ten coaches of football appear
to have thought the East highly eX
cited over the shift plays of attack.
The Middle West apparently has dis
carded the shift attack, which has
highly stirred up the Eastern coaches,
officials and rule makers. Coach Yost
is reported to have said at the last
meeting of coaches that shift play was
not worth whistle writes Fred A.
Hayner in Chicago News.
1--WE have dropped it." said Coach
Stage. illinois and Minnesota have
abandoned it and here in the West
we have not used it for many seasons.
AS far back as 1894 l drew the two
tackles back and sent them ahead of
Henry Gale When 1 say the. Big Ten
has practically abandoned the shift l
mean the other teams have found de-
tense for it. 1t can be stopped and
stopped to such an extent the time
used to coach the play can be used far
more advantageOusly in developing
some other attack. Williams at Min
nesota has used the shift for years,
and we started using it out here be-
fore he did.
Rule Is Explicit.
1.-THE rule is explicit that both feet
of a player must be on the ground al
the snap of the ball. If there is an
evasion of the rule then the play
should be stopped by the officials. II
they are trying to beat the rule that Is

LATIN TRANSLATION
OF YANKS' DOWNFALL
In Famous First Inning of Game
"Bancroftius AmbuIavit."
Dean FIickinger of Northwestern Uni
vesity Says, "Pippius ter Venti-
Iavit," and Calls Babe Ruth
"Ruthiuc."

Dean Roy G. Flickinger of the col
lege of liberal arts of Northwestern
university is a baseball fan, and hence
when one of his Latin students re-
marked TO the dean that in the first
inning of the last game between the
Giants and Yanks, 'BancrOftius am
bulavit" bancroft walkedO, Dean
Flickinger hurried into his private Of
flee and took pencil in hand. With
the last report of the famous first in
ming before him, the dean wrote out
the following:
SIN vice prima Gigantum Burnsium
plan ferientes Piston iactu praevenit.
Bancroftius ambulavit. PLAN a
Frischo in obliquum pulsatam except
Pippius Iungius ambulavit. HOitius
arbitri iudicim de pila quarta strenae
lnterpellavit. Bancroftius dOmum lit,
ct Iungius cum Peckius Kellii resil-
oentem PLAN per manuS dimisisset,
ad tertiam metam properavit. AID
metam primam Hoitius Meusellium
lactu praevenit. Cursus unus; nullus
ictus; unus error"
This being translated reads as fol
lows: ''Giants-Baker threw out
Burns. Bancroft walked Frisch
fouled out to Pipp. Young walked
HOyt kicked vigorously on the um-
pire's decision on the fourth ball. Ban
croft scored, and Young went to
third when Peck let Kelly's grOundel
got through him. HOyt threw out
MeuseI at first. One run; no hits
one error.
In a further Latin treatment of the
Yanks' inning, the dean called Babe
Ruth "Ruthius," and translated the
simple and effective, "Pipp famed
into "Pippius ter ventilavit."
Comment by the Latin student: 81

UI seLung around the rule, and these
are often legislated against"
Coach Stagg thought the problem
was linemen in motion when they
were pulled out of the line. The East
erners appear to be using the rule that
one man may be in motion toward his
own goal while the ball is being put in
play. This rule was to allow de-
fensive fullback to run or move back
into position for kick when his side
was about to punt.
Coach Heisman of Pennsylvania is
working on a shift play again this year
and intends to put some new wrinkles
in it known as expansion of an idea.
The idea of the coaches that a play
must stop till an official looks it over
is regarded as a joke out here. While
the official is looking it over the other
team is doing the same and shifting
men to meet the attack, for the de-
tenders may be in motion before and
after the ball is snapped, to plan their
attack and take stations which they
think will block an impending inimical
force. I
The MarOOns have been quizZed in
rules and those who are lax are sweat
ing blood as they view the scholastic
work and think of porting over a rule
book. The best way to learn the rules
is to talk about them with other play
ers. 1t will not take a man long to
become wise as to the rulings of the
Big Ten officials.

A LESSON FROM NATURE--There was time

The egg in the cell at the bottom is laid first

She does not, my son!
She just calmly returns to her cell, which
is dark and without food, and stays there hours
sometimes whole day, until she hears her sister
moving about above. Then, she joins the other
and they bore through the next cell. If that CO.
coon is still unmatched, they wait again. And so
on to the top.

Eat Less Neat
II Back Hurts
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys if Bladder Bothers
You

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says wellknown authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts OF distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-
matte twinges, severe headaches, acid
stomach, constipation, torpid liver,
sleeplessness, bladder and urinary ir-
ritation
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if blad-
der bothers you, get about four oun-
ces OF lad Salts from any good phar-
macy; take tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast for a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid OF grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the ACIDS in
the urine so it no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone; it
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and then to keep
the kidneys and urinary organs clean
