Lafayette Alumni Hears Good
Advice From Walter R.
0keS0n.

Another warning has been sounded
against commercialism in college
sport. Walter r. Okeson. the former
Lehigh athlete, recently told a gath
ering of Lafayette alumni: THE de-
mand for victory at no matter what
cost has led to well meaning alumni
Offering inducements to promising
athletes to attend their particular
college.
This has been an almost universal
practice during the past few years.
and we are beginning to feel the
evils that follow in it's train.
1T il but q step from securing
schoolboy stars to hiring professional
athletes. Promises of the most exag-
gerated kind are made In order to on
set the lure offered by rival colleges.
"Often these promises are not full
nlled and the athlete becomes dis
gruntled and feels himself misused
Once in that attitude OF mind. with
his ideals lowered by the fact that
sport and money returns have been
made synonymous by the induce
ments offered him, he Is in danger of
hecoming the prey of professional
gamblers.
'If we don't want the scandals of
baseball repeated in football, we must
do our part to restore college sport
to a real amateur basis"
Mr.. Okeson says that the coaches
do not want this dangerous system
of harboring the professional or
tramp athlete, but their answer is:
ITO hold our jobs we must win"

$500 STUDENTS TAKE
TO OUTDOOR SPORTS

COLUMBUS. Ohio. April 1.-THE
value Of intramural athletics is being
amply demonstrated at Ohio State
University this spring where mighty
few students sit on the sidelines.
A fair estimate would show 2.500
students actively engaged in some
sort Of athletic diversion and compe-
tition outdoors.
Approximately 1000 of these stu
dents have heard the call of the dia-
mond. A like number is identified
with tennis, the varsity courts for
which always are crowded.
Track. including varsity. class and
intramural call for several hundred.
Athletic Director L. w. st. John
claims that intramural athletics are
Just beginning to realize their poten-
tial Importance in student life.
After all, he contends, the essential
idea in athletics is not the victory
alone that is sought. but to get every
body outdoors and to make athletics
available for all and not for the few.

JOHNSON ATTACKS
JAP AGREEMENT

Washington.-An attack on the pro-
posed agreement between Japan and
the United States as to the status of
Japanese in this country was made by
Senator Johnson of California. The
attack was characterized by Secretary
of State Colby In a statement as pro-
ceedlng upon a quite erroneous as
sumption as to the trend and purpose
of the conversations which have been
going on between Ambassador Morris
and the Japanese ambassador"
In his statement Secretary Colby
said that Senator Johnson was not
uniformed as to the course of these
conversations, and I am therefore
surprised that he should feel called on
to throw himself into defensive pos
ture against dangers which he de-
scribes but which, l am informed, he
has been assured do not present them
selves"
Senator Johnson in his statement
said the plan would in effect "abro-
gate and destroy" the alien law voted
by California 1t would also, he said,
provide as to Japanese exclusion for
another "so-called gentiemens agree
ment which does not exclude"
Such situation he said, was "in-
tolerable" and he added:
"Consummation of such plan will
be resisted"
Opossums.
OpOssumS are the only representa-
tives of the marsupial group Of anil
mails on this continent. Their nearest
relatives are the kangaroos of Aus
tralia. The young are born alive, but
are in a very undeveloped stage. They
are at once placed by the mother In
pouch on the abdomen, where they
remain until they are four or five
inches in length. Later they emerge
and ride about on the back of the
mother, each possum-let with its tail
wrapped about the tail of the mother.
They have unusual power in these
hairless tails and can remain sus-
pended by them for an astonishing
period of time. The opOssum is one
of the few wild animals that seems to
be holding its own in the woods in spite
of the changed conditions that have
been produced by the clearing Of the
land and the building of towns They
are even found in the edges of cities

frequently raid poultry houses to OBJ
