How actively this contest is brewing may
be Judged by the widespread interest In
cleaning up college athletics the charges
and countercharges as to responsibility
The tendency toward what contemporary
describes as 'the magnihcation Of college
athletics into big commercial enterprises, the
most important products Of the college

past few years; and only the most optimistic
VIII profess to see any evidence OF substan-
tial improvement as yet. But there is basis
for hopefulness in the universal recognition
OF the fact that dangerous point has been
reached. From the babble and cross-charges
of the present discussion may soon come the
clear, hard thinking suggested by Mr.
Alderman And one of the most important
results OF this thinking, we may be sure
will be the more general introduction of
tripartite athletic control, such as the Uni
versity Of Virginia has established, by which
the faculty, alumni and student body un-
dertake jointly to hold athletic sports with
in reasonable bounds and to turn them to
the highest possible usefulness in college
affairs.

american college life.
His view OF the situation may be summea
up in the following words from his address.

The Navy Rescued

SATURDAYS vote in the House on tho
~ personnel section OF the naval bill means
mat the ratio Of strength agreed upon ct
the Washington conference will be main
timed on Americas part; that the oppor
tunity to gain naval parity with Great
Britain Is to be taken in preference to a
recession below the strength OF Japan The
attempt OF tho Appropriations Committee to
reduce the enlisted personnel of the navy
10 $1,000 has been blocked and the figure
set by our naval experts and approved by
the President and Secretary OF State-S6, 900
substituted by substantial majority of
the House membership.
Members who have spoken in advocacy
OF the lower figure have not always agreed
as to the probable effect of the reduction
upon the 5-5-3 ratio; some have held that
the ratio would not be disturbed, others
arguing that, since we had agreed only not
TO exceed a certain strength, there was no
reason why we should not drop ms far he
low that strength as our domestic conditions
appeared TO demand
The view that maintenance OF tho con-
ference ratio would be practicable under tho
proposed reduction has been discredited nv
the most expert opinion II should not be
without significance in this connection that
the authorities who spoke for the United
states In determining the ratio are the same
who have stated very plainly that the ratio
could not be sustained with the enlisted
force advocated by the House committee
AS TO the second contention, no one would
attempt to argue that this country lacks
the right" TO reduce below the conference
strength; no one could possibly question
our right 10 withdraw the American navy
from the seas altogether. But il seems not
