1t will be recalled that Pat Page.
the coachof the 1920 championship f1ve.
was transferred to Butte College last
spring. Stagg. who never had coached
basket ball, decided to take hold of
this years team. All but one of last
years outfit were available. Perhaps
the dazzling character of this heavy
nucleus for a 1921 team swayed Stagg
in his decision to take up the reins.
Results indicated that material. no
matter how good. is useless without a
coach. The Midway athletes lost three
of the first six games of the schedule.
All these defeats were attributed to
faulty, inefficient coaching. Since
those beatings, however. Chicago has
won five straight games.
Added to the weight of this showing
now comes a public statement from
Stagg to the effect that the depart

letics and not the students is con-
Quoting sport at Chicago, that the
purposes of the department are higher
than the mere winning of games, that
games lost thus far were lost not be-
cause Of poor coaching but through
illness of star players, and finally
that critics will be thanked if they
pay attention to their studies and
leave the success of the basket ball

DON'T HECKLE
THEPRESIDENT

It is now a practical certainty that
meeting will be held in Washing
ton some time in November for the
purpose of discussing international
disarmament and certain far eastern
affairs. This meeting will be attend
ed by officials representatives of the
governments of the United States
England, France, Italy, Belgium,
China and others. There is posi-
bility that German delegates may be
present.
The conference may result in great
and everlasting good to the world, or
it may end in a farce. That is yet
to be determined.
In the meantime there are many
newspapers in this country that will
be editorially discussing the various
| phases of these subjects with a view
to swaying public opinion to their
way of thinking, and especially the
throwing Of light upon the more or
less obscure points.
| There are others that will have for
| their secret aim the embarrassment
of the president just at time when
he should receive the support of the
American people in this laudable I'M
dertaking of his.
The peace of the world in general
and Of this country in particular is
of far more Importance than the
evening up of political scores and
private grudges.
A free and frank discussion of
these subjects is legitimate and is so
desired. It is in accord with the
traditional policy of the American
people.
But deliberate heckling of the pre-
| sident just at that time will be I'M
fortunate, if not disastrous.
1t is difficult for any president to
make good on an international pro-
ject of this magnitude when he is be-
ing pulled back by his own people.
Don't heckle the president.
