CPORTING men, as we have told
~ you before, are not sportsmen
in the meaning of that term. They
follow sport for profit, not amuse-
ment or physical benefit.
You can learn little of moral
value from sporting men: But
sporting men, horsemen, prize
fighters, gamblers, have their GER
tain code of sportsmanship. The
first tenet is:
DON'T SQUEAL!"
The meaning is, do not complain
when the game goes against you.
Colleges might add this to their
courses for wealthy young men
contemplating matrimony with
chorus girls, and the spending of
much money in riotous living.
The Washington herald., 1922-12-28

nF course, the marriage of the
" young men with the chorus
girls have nothing to do with their
downfall. Adam started that old
excuse.
Their troubles begin and end
with the riotous living.
In these times, no young man in
his right mind. with college ex-
perience, can fail to know the con-
sequences of riotous living before
he starts out.
There may be some excuse for
theilliterate, ignorant young chap
who suddenly finds himself with a
lot of money on his hands.
There is none for the rich young
.collegian, especially if he follows
athletics, as was the case of one
youth whose troubles recently
found space in the newspapers
The primary preachment of athlet-
les is abstinence.

IN the old days. when prize
L fighters. celebrated ball May
ers. and others came. to New York
and drank themselves silly, it was
the custom to blame their ruin to
Broadway.
The custom is continued. You
can go along Broadway from the
Battery to Spuyten Duyvil, very
long distance, and not find five
places where a man can be scien-
tifically ruined.
Their ruin is accomplished in
backroom dives, in "flats," New
York term for apartment, in other
places far removed from Broad
way. A man seeking ruin is never
confined to one street, to one city.

PROHIBITION is gradually cu--
L ting down the percentage of
ruin among professional athletes,
once quite high.
The drunken prizefighter and
"lush" among ball players is dis
appearing. Some persons eager to
prove prohibition a failure may
deny this, but we can show it by
figures.

GROW ALFALFA IN 1922

1T seems that it would be wisdom
on the part of the farmers to seed
more to grass this year and thus
reduce the grain acreage when grain
is cheap, and improve the soil that
better yields may be had when prices
are more favorable" says II. C.. Hal
vorson of Sinai, county commissioner
of Bookings county. The Brookings
County Farm bureau recently received
a letter from Mr.. H%alvOrson, which
shows that alfalfa has been a profit
able crop for him during the past
seven years.
Mr.. HalvOrson says Of his eXper-
fence with alfalfa: In 1912 ] pro-
cured "A few pounds Of alfalfa seed

average, and would have been very
