COLBY COACH MAKES
SPECIAL PLEA FOR
TRACK COMPETITION

Waterville, Oct. 6-Mike Ryan,
coach of track, participant In the
Olympic games, and veteran trainer
made special appeal for track COM
petition at the chapel exercises of the
Colby college mems division yester-
day, in which he gave one of the most
interesting and instructive chapel
talks so far during the year.
While this is the time which car
ries special appeal to the activities of
the varsity football squad" declared
Mr.. Ryan, "it is well to remember
that football is not the only major
sport of the college activities. Foot
ball and baseball are both beneficial
to the players and these games may
be watched with interest by large
crowds of spectators, but football as
a game gives the entire benefit of the
competition 10 only the eleven men
on the team, and correspondence
baseball to a smaller group. Each
game Is specialized to a single objec-
tive, and there is no chance for the
fellow whose best attachments are
not within a narrow scope"
Mike went on to explain that
track is an all-eonclusive sport pro-
viding room for competitors in
greater diversity of activities than in
any other sport, stressing the point
that the man who has not the speed
for the dashes may have the endur-
ance for tie long distance events. He
also stressed the fact that there are
weight, pole vaulting, high and broad
jumping events for those whose ply
steal makeup keeps them out of the
racing class.
My purpose here at Colby" Ryan
went on to say, lis to develop a track
team that will stand the stiff COM
petition of the fastest teams in the
country. In connection with our track
work for the past several years men
have been developed who have COM
peted in Boston at the all New Eng
land track meets with the best that
track can produce. Colby men have
seldom failed. This is far greater
competition than any other team of
this college is producing at the pres
ent time. For the purpose of de-
veloping a track team that will come
out victorious in the state meet and
be a genuine credit to the college
stand ready to give my men more in
dividual time than the track coach of
any other college I know of. 1t is
my desire this fall to find out the pos
sibilities of all potential track ath-
letes Then with the coming of the
spring term l will know the best ma
terial and can devote my time to
bringing the best men to their high
est degree of efficiency
If men enough turn out to make 1t
worth Mikes time, he will be on the
field all the time after ten o'clock in
the morning ready to give counsel and
advice to those who aspire to wear
the Colby track &C"
In connection with the general
outline OF track work Mr.. Ryan
stressed the possibilities Of cross
country running as a developer OF
mental and physical determination.
He stated that by an odd coincidence
most of the material of last years
cross country team had failed to re-
turn to college and laid special en-
phasis on the appeal for candidates
for that branch of the track work.

sion Of rules as a special order Of
business.
The Rev. Mr.. Myers told the dele
gates the action of the Detroit Min
listers did not reflect the attitude of
the Christian Church throughout the
country. He said the Federal Coun-
ell had arranged a special meeting
next Sunday at which President
Green would be invited to speak on
ideals of labor in the church"
The convention adjourned at the

floor Immediately after suspension of
the rules, that during the noon recess
today, he had been formally notified
an invitation extended him in July to
speak next Sunday had been with

John P. Frey, president Of the Ohio
state federation, prefaced his inter-
rogation of Green with a vigorous de-
nunciation of the action of the church
men and a reply to the published in
ference of the Detroit board of COM
MERGE that the statements Of the AM
erican Federation of Labor speakers
who had been invited to fill Detroit
pulpits Sunday were not In harmony
with the traditional ideals of Ameri-
can patriotism.
The letter contained the sugges-
ton that the ministers deliberate
whether or not you wish to have
your church deviate from the pro-
gram for which it is maintained.
81 first wish to ask" Frey began,
'If it is in truth a fact that a speech
by a representative of the American
Federation of Labor would repre-
sent a deviation from the program
for which the Christian church is
maintained?
1.-THE altar of the church ever has
been the refuge of the oppressed
he concluded. Let this convention
warn now that when Mammon DOM
mates the altar. Christianity has
passed away"
George l.. Berry, president or the
Pressmen's Union and formerly vice
commander of the American Legion,
cited the war record of American
labor.

TO STAGE Pro
FOOTBALL GAMES
IN SESQUI STADIUM

Philadelphia. Oct. 6-tP)-Profes-
sional football at night in the sesaui-
centennial stadium is under consid-
Grafton by the Philadelphia Quakers,
of the American League.
Experiments have convinced Coach
Bob FolweH that the plan is feasible
and he said today it probably would
be tried out in the near future. The
Quakers played practice game I'M
der the powerful flood lights at the
stadium last night and FolEell said
the men were able to handle high
punts and forward passes as we'll as
in daylight. The regulation ball was
used.
With those lights" said Folweil,
II feel sure we could play just as
good football at night as we can in
the daytime. The spectators alse
would be able to see every detail Of
the game. We will try to get some
of our opponents in the American
League to agree to play league games
at night or schedule other games es-
pecially for night time"

KAY JAY
SPORT
CHAT

That most esteemed combinat ion
OF Jones and Roper, coaches Of Yale
and Princeton, respectively, certain
ly started something when they came
out with their statement that from
now on they were going to stay right
at home and not watch each others
teams perform before the annual Big
Three classic. A lot of coaches came
out in hearty agreement with their
sentiments and said that they
thought it wasn't at all nice to watch
another team play and announced
their intentions of cleaning up the
game from the influence of scouting
On first thought the scheme looks
like very good thing for football
1t apparently means that the scouts
would pass on and the players would
the plays Of their opponents and then
90 out and stop the said opponents
coId-but that's been tried before and
didn't work out any too well.
A real calm, cold blooded analysis
of the situation that exists at pres
ent shows that the public has, been
educated to like football and they
want and demand intelligent foot
ball. If a team Is not educated to
the fundamentals of different attacks
the games would see more scoring
perhaps too much scoring. The game
just as it is has drawn the crowds
for the past few years and it will
continue to draw the crowds, all be-
cause both teams know somewhere
near what the other fellow is trying
to do and make intelligent effort to
stop it, So, many games which would
ordinarily be a waikaway are turned
into hard scraps. The team gets the
exercise. the fans get their recrea-
ton and somebody gets the money.
So everyone ought to be satisfied.
II everyone that came out and said
that they were fatty opposed to
scouting really meant il, scouting
would probably be abolished. But a
lot of people who want to see the
scouts sent away and exiled from
football. merely express that desire
in the opinion that it will clean up
the game.
Interchanging of opinions makes
to play the game intelligentIy be-

low does II. The different teams learn
each others good points, combine
the good points of each to the best
of their ability and the result is
better football club. In the mean
while someone has seen the improved
team play and combine their attack
with an idea original with them and
that is the way football has advanced
to its present stage Of perfection.
Football scouts don't snoop around
and steal the other teams stuff.
They don't even wear mustaches and
rubber heels. They go to the games
on complimentary tickets, the oppos-
ing team knows they are there and
the opposing team also knows that
they have a scout up watching the
team which the scout represents.
The teams merely swap ideas ana
the scout Is the medium. Knute
Rockne and a few other coaches
were conspicuous by their absence
when the list of coaches favoring the
abolition of scouts was published.
The scout has come into the game
and just as leng as he stays, foot
ball will advance. The scout will
probably still be scouting so years
from now.

Trial by Tobacco.

Jurv.room coercion by tobacco smoke
is charged at Norristown, Pa. where
three women recently sat in a bootleg
ging case. which resulted in Nerdict
OF acauittal 1t seems that the women
favored conviction, the nine men Vot-
ing for acauittal The women were
set in their view and so were the
men. Finally the men made the room
so disa Sreesble with tobacco smoke
that the women beca i'll and yielded
in order to obtain relea Sc from intoler-
able conditions.
Now comes the question whether
hereafter a no smoking rule will be
adopted in jury rooms. especially in
the case of mixed juries. Or perha ps
il such a rule is not adopted and en-.
forced only women who smoke will be
regarded as eligible for jury duty.
There are some men who cannot
sta nd tobacco smoke in confined quar-
ters. but, so far as known, no male
juror was ever brought around to the
point of agreement because he could
not endure the fumes emitted by the
smokers. Smoking in jury rooms has
been traditional practice from the
beginning OF the system and the intro
duction of tobacco. The Norristown
case may mark a breaking point in a
practice that has the sanction Of long
usage.

The Water Front Plan.

The plan Of the District government
for making over part Of the Washing.
ton water front has been approved by
the Fine Arts Commission, and has
been made public. 1t is proposed to
build a bridge from the WASHINGTON
side to East Potomac Park, the dock
line from Washington Barracks north
is to be made symmetrical and strong
and handsome docks will be built.
They will be large enough To berth
any shipping likely to come to them.
Wharf houses are to be built, md they
are to be of good architecture and
will be screened in some degree bv
trees and parking on the cha mel side
Of Water street. Several small pa rks
are planned along Water street, and
it is proposed to create three larger
parks, one at the foot Of Tenth and
H. another between Thirteenth and
Thirteen.a nd-a half streets and one
from /. to NJ where Seventh street
joins Water street. At a point on the
channel near the bridge lea ding from
Water street to East Potomac Park
the engineers have planned q recrea
ton pier.
The plan Is impOrtan 1t would ad-
vance the commercial prospect Of
Washington harbur and make the
docks md dock buildings more service
able. 1t would give Washington
another broad riverside drive, furnish
new automobile highway between
South and North Washington and give
an entra nee to Potomac Park more
convenient to the people of South
Washington than any Of the prese mt
entra noes. 1t would give short cuI
to East Potomac Park from presep nj
car lines, and one Of the plans for
Ea st Potomac Park is that it shal
become the main public recreat ton res.
ervation Of the Capital.
