l know an illustrious dumb-bell now
in his last year In college. He is thick
skulled, but one of the best foot ball
players l have ever seen. His name Is
nationally known. In some miracu-
lous way he will be herded past the
scholarship barrier next Spring. A
big railroad has already spoken for
him on account of the value of his

Decline of Humanities."
Maybe I'm getting little out of
my depth here, but it seems to me
that the reformers are trying to
serve both God and mammon. They
acqutesce in the tendency to max
big grist mills out of the universities
/ understand there are about 40, 600
students in the University of Cali
fornia this year-and then they weep
over the decadence of the "humani-
ties" The humanities come out of
cloisters and solitude. That's where
they will continue to- come from, and
when I point out that they have no
particular cash value at this writing,
l don't want any one to think that
I underrate their Importance.
AS matter of fact, most N the
great humanists didn't come out of
the colleges anyhow. What / want
to say is. that alumni and coaches
and managers who take the boys who
are impervious to real culture and
discipline and drive and herd them
and finally plant them on the road
to material success are doing more
for them than the professors who
are giving them a bogus culture
bogus because 1t doesn't deal with
life as it is.
I believe In modern college athletics
and / sanction as honest and repu-
table the methods in which they, are
conducted.

IL a routine OF hard and determined
Undoubtedly, the Navy squad has
some strong elements this year, but
1t is equally true that 1t has some dis
tinct handicaps. There LIS a lack Of
good reserve material on the line par
ticularly as to ends, and there is still
no assurance that the weakness in the
kicking line will be overcome.
Better BackfieId Material.
The squad is in far better shape
than 1t was last year as to backfield
material. The material in this line was
below the average at the start of last
season, and repeated losses of backs
through injuries, illness and scholastic
difficulties presented obstacles which
the coaches found 1t hard to combat.
Owsley's long and successful ex-
perience as backfeld coach at Yale
should qualify him finely for his work
at the academy
Flippin and Shapley, the most ex-
perienced of the backfield candidates,
should retain their places as regulars
If they show the improvement that
might be expected of them.
