Grimth LaudS Foot Ball.

II the purpose of education Is to
improve the human race as "educa-
tional psychologists tell u.s." then it
must be agreed that the foot ball
coach has an important place in the
educational system, said Nal John
l.. Griffith, commissioner of athletics
In the western conference.
Il would not have the temerity to
attempt to suggest the purpose of
the college," Maj. Griffith continued,
but any one who has followed the
discussions of educators in recent
years must have noted that it is now
being more frequently insisted that
the purpose of the college is to train
for life while a decade ago the ad
vancement of intellectualism was
more often announced as the func-
tion of the institutions Of higher
learning"
Approximately 100000 boys played
foot ball last fall, he said, under the
tuteIage of about $4,000 coaches.
These coaches" he added, had 1t
within their power to affect tremend
nusly for good or bad this army Of
American boys"
Any one who cares to go into the
subject will find. Maj. Griffith de-
clared, that "training on our varsity
teams does benefit the men who
play" He added that the thing that
is often overlooked however, is the
fact that the team is a stimulus to
OlhtTS anu tHdt IlOTe DOyS engage
athletics because of the example set
by the good performers than would
do so if We did not have our inter-
collegiate contests.
1.-The real purpose of foot ball,
however" Maj. Griffith declared, 'is
not that of making a better race
physically. important as that may be.
Foot ball Is the medium through
which we as a people are learning
things that are vital in deloping bet
ter manners and betters morals"
Maj. Griffith said he did not share
the opinion of the man who believes
that the majority of college athletics
was subsidized. A survey was made
on this subject in the western con-
ference the past season, he said, and
"the result of the investigation indi-
Gated we were not anywhere nearly
so bad as we are charged with be-
ing"
Asserting that the betting fra
ternity" has at some time or other
'befouled every professional sport
that we have" and that as a result
the public gets the impression that
the player is not doing his best, al
though professional games are for
the most part honestly conducted
and the contestants do their best
Maj Griffith recommended educa-
tional campaigns among college foot
ball men for the purpose OF reducing
betting to the minimum.

Yost Praises Athletics.
Nations have succeeded in demo-
cratic government in almost exact
proportion to their participation in
competitive games and athletics"
and for this reason. If no other. ath-
letics deserve an important place in
our program of education" Fielding
II. Yost, director of athletics for the
University of Michigan, said.
'As ancient Greece was supreme in
democracy, so she was supreme In
games" he said. To-day. Great Brit
ain and America lead the world in
athletics, as they point the way to
democracy"
There is no synonym for sports
manship," Yost said, but the word
that comes nearest to II is respect
THE good sportsman has respect
for his opponent" he set forth. "he
respects the rules OF the game and
seeks no unfair advantage. The
sportsman like player respects the
officials and abides by their decisions.
Above all, the good sportsman re-
spects the game he is playing and
conducts himself at all times in such
manner as never to bring criticism
or discredit upon its name"
Sportsmanship does not end with
the players. he said, but also erI-
braces the spectators. He added that
the students and other spectators
at college contests are on trial lust
as surely as are members Of The
team"
Foot balls value" he said, ito
the men who play it and the men and
women who watch 1t played depends
upon the degree to which IT fuIalIs
certain requirements which have
nothing whatever to do with the
technicalities of the game its.lf. il
must foster a spirit of fair play aid
good sportsmanship in both player
and spectator, and 1t must impress
upon participants and audience alike
that 1t Is a means to an end and not
an end in itself. 1t must furnish 20
the thoughtful observer some
grounds for believing that 1t is an
integral part of the educational sys-
tenn and not merely an athletic spec
tacle."
