Mallory was n school mate OF Charlie

was undecided as to whether to go to
Yale or Harvard Mallory, in his junior

a senior at school. elected to go to Har-

great as a defensive back Is Bill NAL

lory will be the Moses to lead Yale sue

for a scrimmage in preparation for the
big game Both are anxious to settle
the contest.
Among the interested spectators at
the showing of the movies taken by the

were many members of the eleven.
Pink Baker in particular enjoyed see
ing himself and his teammates avenge
last seasons disappointment. and 1t is "A
foregone conclusion that he will vote
yes on the QUESTIONABLE regarding the
continuance of taking movies under the
auspices OF the undergraduates.
In an attempt to bolster up his rush
line for next fall Coach Bill Roper has
had Charlie Caldwell. the powerful de-
fensive back, practicing as a center.
As usual Charlie showed himself adept
at passing. but it is the feeling Of many
here that perhaps Harvey Emery would
make n better pivot man and leave Cald-

Caldwell is now assistant coach OF
the freshman basketball team, proving
OF big assistance to Coach Mes in
rounding out the yearllng five. Charlie
was captain of the freshman quintet last
year. but this season is not going TO
play, due TO the two sport rule which
exists at Princeton. preventing any one

AMHERST, Dec. e.--The new college

only football game and the Yale
team lost. But to O'Hearn. who had
been made to feel that the world was
resting this afternoon on his shoul-
ders under the Blue jersey, it was a
life tragedy"
While in the quoting business. here is
another from one of the Colyum editors
on New York morning paper.
1--WE arise again to remark that
football Is becoming entirely too vital.
This applies to players. coaches, stu
dents and old grads. Victory and de-
feat mean entirely too much. Their
rewards and their heartaches are far
out of proportion to standard values,
when one considers that football Is
supposed to be merely a sport and a
recreation for student life"
The story of the collapse of the young
oarsmen after rowing a losing four-mile
race is familiar And while baseball
and other sports do not publish their
tragedies openly you may be sure they
are no less real in the hearts of the
athletes.
Athletics Should Expand.
Athletics should be helpful. enjoy
able feature of university life, but rep
resenting a minor interest and a frac-
ton or time. This is not to say that
too much attention is given to athletics
in the universities. Quite the contrary.
Too much attention is concentrated on
a few men and little or no attention
given to the many.
The time will come when the athletic
fields will be in use all day long just as
are the recitation halls now. This will
mean better athletes and better teams
with a minimum of Mysteries.
Let the universities agree that no
athlete shall represent his alma mater
on more than one team during the year.
This would not prevent his playing with
the scrubs or with his class team or
crew. Such an agreement would be a
good thing for the athletes directly af-
fected a good thing for the athletes
indirectly affected. the .ones who are
now kept off teams, and good thing
for the universities. OLD GRAD.
The New York herald., 1922-12-10

The university which asks any under
graduate to represent vt on more than
one university team is asking more of
that man than 1t has right to ask no
matter how badly he may be needed
and Is asking more than the man has
a right to give no matter how anxious
lie may be to give.
A man does not go to university for
athletics. He would not spend the
money nor the time.
Or. Henry Van Dyke says:
"The object of a college education
Is not to enable man to make a
living. but to teach him how to en-
large and enrich his mental and moral
life. to be more of man, to be a
real person and not a mere cog in
machine of industry or trade. The
main thing is to teach him how to
use his mind and to understand the
thoughts of Others"
Training for team divides the in
terest between the game and the mans
studies divides it unevenly. One term
out of every year is as much time as
any young man can afford of this un-
evenly divided interest
Nervous Strain Terrific.
The nervous strain these young ath-
letes undergo in representing their alma
matters is something terrific. In the
Yale bowl on November 25 forty thou
sand sons Of Yale and friends Of Yale
were commanding and beseeching Yale's
team to win. Here is a. quotation from
the account Of the game by the sports
editor Of New York morning paper:
while the Harvard men We're do
ing their snake dance through the
swiftly falling twilight, the Yale
players were slumped dejectedly into
the tables in their dressing room. Tad
Jones was pacing the floor. In cor
ner O'Hearn was sitting in a chair
sobbing.
There is nothing at all to say
Jones declared. The team was a
good team. It certainly did it's best
