JOHNSON MAY RULE
4TH ARMY SPORTS

Col. Wait c. Johnson, one OF the
leading figures in local athletics
here, is expected to be appointed ath-
letio director Of the 4th Army Corps
Area, according to an announcement
from Columbus, Ga.
Although his appointment has not
been officially announced, il is un-
derstood that Col. Johnson will be
assigned to the 4th Army Corps Area
as soon as his four. years OF service
expire here this coming summer.
Actively engaged in athletics dur
ing his past four years here, Col.
Johnson has done much to promote
all branches of sports in the District.
He is considered one of the best
racketers here. having at times been
member of the middle Atlantic
championship doubles with c. M.
Charest.
Col. Johnson was one of the prin-
cipal factors in obtaining a local
branch of the. National, Base BaII
Federation. He has had considerable
experiences in Army athletic circles,
During the world war he was in
charge Of the allied games at paris
Several big meets here have come
under the direction of Col. Johnson.
Evening star., 1924-03-19


The idea seems to lie in the direc-
ton of some curtailment of CONNER
cial enterprise now so widely asso-
c1ated with the conduct of intercoI-
legiate sport. How this will affect
foot ball and other important
branches of athletics remains to be
seen.
There seem to have been some un-
derhand attacks launched at Bill
alexander of Georgia Tech. They
cannot amount to anything impor-
tant, if only because every one who
knows anything about foot ball and
is familiar with Alexanders work at
Grant Field can have nothing but
praise for the manner in which he
has carried on.
Alexander's teams have been meet
ing the strongest elevens in the
country, or. to be more. precise
elevens that rank in the very top
class from national standpoint. At
times he has made better bricks
without straw than any one who
comes to mind could have done. And
when material is good he can make
as much of it as any coach.
Action of students at boxing bouts
at Cornell has called forth reproacheS
from Graduate Manager Romeyne
n"rrv. who EMPLOYS such an ugly
phrase as "abysmal ignorance OF
NO, 10 pehavt." And at Princeton
they have been admonishing over
other manifestations of bad taste at
basket ball games. Are the base ball
oleachers, after all, the standard by
which our young college gentlemen
set their taste?

Prof. HareS views are sound
enough. . He would have the highly
paid, highly specialized coaches de-
vote their time to improving physique
and knowledge of games among stu
dents generally. giving them a love
of sport and teaching them to play
1t as well as they can. He would
relieve them of their work of con-
centrating on the task of developing
the utmost skill in from a dozen to
twenty young men who have shown
nigh qualifications for one sport.
Would Check Alumni.
In such case, as Prof Hare points
out, they would no longer be at the
mercy of alumni and others who ap-
praise an athletic instructors value
upon the basis of the success or
Hare plan the coach would lead n
peaceful. stable, unstrained exist
ence and his functions as a teacher
would relate themselves to those of
any faculty member.
On the other hand, were the cap
tain or a. team and duly constituted
board of students to train and de-
velop the varsity outfits they would
nave the benefit that comes of using
tnelr brains to constructive ends,
Whlie the players would be playing
Tor their alma mater solely, instead
of as now in part for their alma
mater and perhaps in larger part for
their coach's reputation.
So in general way run Prof. Hare's
views and any person who keeps in
touch with current trends of univer-
Stfy sports will be the last to say that
they warrant light consideration.
Gifted Few Exalted.
Primarily, if there is one thing that
our urge for specialization does more
than another it is to exalt the gifted
few at the expense of the average
many. For example. our best golfers,
tennis players, oarsmen and the like

CRUM, TIGER STAR,
IS G. w. GRID COACH

Harry w. Crum, Princeton graduate
and former star player for the Tigers,
who has accepted the foot ball coach
ing berth at George, Washington Uni
versity, will lose little time in getting
on the job. Crum will report early
next month and will then issue call
for spring gridirion parctice in order
to get a line on some Of the men
with whom he will have to work next
fall. He will find most OF the 1923
squad members on hand and a great

In addition to coaching the gridmen,
Crum will have charge of the newly
created alumni office and will assist
President William Mather Lewis in
other matters.
While Crum has had limited coach
ing experience, he made a great repu-
tation on the gridiron and is declared
to have the personality that goes to
make up successful mentor. He did
some good work with the grid team
at Derry High School, near Pitts
burgh, and also has played and
coached basket ball to some extent.
Crum played halfback on the un-
beaten Princeton eleven in 1922, being
the main factor in the defeat of Chi
