Billy Evans
Says
BY Billy Evans,

Veteran Major League Umpire.
"Bo" McMillin continues to be one
of footballs irrepressible figures.
Several years back Centre College
provided one OF the gridiron's great
est upsets by defeating Harvard.
"Bo" McMillin, then member of
the Centre College team, played the
leading role in vanquishing the Grim
son.
A few weeks ago Geneva College,
a small Pennsylvania institution of
learning, trimmed Harvard. The
coach of that eleven is "Bo" McMil-
lin.
When McMillin took the coaching
job at Geneva he guaranteed vic
tory over Harvard and said he would
make all kinds of trouble for Cor
nell.
He certainly made good, for Har-
ward proved rather easy and Cornell
was forced to the limit to win by
one touchdown.
No one player has been greater
thorn in Harvard's football prestige
than "Bo'' McMillin, first as a play
er, now as coach.
Mixing Two Sports
1t is certain that professional foot
ball will be talked pro and con at the
winter meeting of the two major
leagues. ~
One Of the main topics of CONVEX
sation will be whether big league
players should be permitted to en-
gage in the strenuous pastime.
There are quite a few college
stars in the majors who were as
much at home on the gridiron as the
diamond during their "rah rah"
days.
The popularity that professional
football is enjoying has opened a
new field for these athletes. For two
months play some of the stars can
get as much money as for six
months labor on the ball field.
I understand major league owners
are adverse to having these players
risk injury on the gridiron. 1t is ru-
mored that Connie Mack has already
forbidden Walter French from play
ing.
It wouldn'tssurprise me If major
league contracts of the future carried
clause putting the ban on football.

Zuppke has several other rockies

Daugherity was the best ground
gamer Zuppke had outside OF

deal on Shorty" Almquist and Herb
Joestling, two lads who came into
prominence last fall with a bang.

blaze a sensational trail ere the cam

VOICES CROSS SEA


It was eminently fitting that the fiftieth ami

been marked by the establishment Of wireless
telephone communication between New York and
London.
While radio messages through powerful broad
casting stations have been transmitted far greater
distances, the holding of regular conversations
the sea by wireless telephony has just been
achieved for the first time. Reports state that it
was just ike talking on an ordinary telephone and
that the voices were heard as distinctly rs on
local calls.

Graham Bell uttered the first words ever trans

IN THE DAYS NEWS


Lieutenant Commander Richard
Evelyn Byrd, Jr., who is pre-
pairing to lead an aircraft flight
into the Arctic regions, was a
member of the similar expedition
which was led to the far north
last year by Donald Macmillan.
1t. Byrd is a Virginian and comes
of an old prominent family of the
Old Dominion. A brother, Harry
Flood Byrd, is the present gov
ernor of the State. Born an adj
venturer, in the words of his
mother, Richard Byrd early form
ed a liking for the navy and at
tended the Annapolis academy.
During the World War he received
seventeen citations for bravery
and gallantry in action. His record
also includes service as command
ing officer of the United States
air forces in Canada, a connection
with the transatlantic flight Of the
NC flying boats and a leading part
in the organization of naval re-
serve air stations.

NEW THINGS

Every new improvement usually excites absurd
fears, and frequently these fears block The adop-
ton Of these new ideas for long time.
When railroads were first being built, it was
argued that they would be very dangerous The
putting locomotives would scare the horses and
many Of them to run away. thus smashing up the
carriages and injuring the people who we're riding.
When bath-tubs were first introduced, It was
held that they would be very dangerous, as people
would get cold from thus applying water to them
selves.
Back $50 years ago in Londen,a law was
passed to prohibit coaches on the streets Of the
city because Of the destruction their wheels would
do to the paving stones.
When Faraday in 1882 was showing the scien-
fists spark produced by magnetic induction, one
Of them remarked that he was sorry for the new
idea, as Il would give incendiary something new
with which he could set buildings afre.
And yet not all the new ideas are good. Many
Of them are futile and dangerous. Some people are
constituted that they shout for every new thing
and have to be taught by painful experience which
ones are useless or pernicious.
Human nature has to study the golden mean
between hasty absorption Of untried IDEAS and UNI
reasonable fear Of them. We must develop the
historical and experimenting spirit. be willing to
try out new ideas, but also must know the results
Of past experiments. It is no use getting hurt
trying out new ideas when our fathers and grand
fathers injured before US on the same things.
Yet the fundamental fact of experience is that the
world sees great changes, and nothing stays as it
used to be il 1t Is any good.

For many years great deal of enthusiasm
attached TO the idea Of reform" Bright and
thinking people enlisted under that banner. and
they went out to destroy faults in our political and
social system with all the enthusiasm of crusaders
Not all reformers had good sense. Many Of
them were intolerant, and instead of trying to in
fuence peoples reason, they bitterly denounced
those who differed from them. II the institutions
of society did not respond to their challenge, then
they might want these institutions destroyed, much
like the Chinaman who burned down his house in
order to get rid of the rats. Thus the idea of
reform came to seem unattractiye in the minds of
many.
Yet the idea of reform is fundamental and
necessary. The customs of society and the methods
of government reflect the many faults of human
nature. Il we permit these faults to go unchecked,
vices viii overrun the community, and the govern
ment win fail to keep up with the evils Of the
times.
So we need reformers today, folks who are not
afraid to speak their minds, and to denounce the
evils Of social customs and political parties
But before people set out to reform things
they should cultivate federation. They will ind
many good people who do not think as they do.
The reformers should not assume attitude Of
superior virtue.
It Is not easy thing to be an effective re-
former. Such one must denounce evils unspar-
ingiy, and he can find plenty of things which he
must hit and hit hard. But he does not make
converts when he attacks the motives of perfectly
sincere people. He can argue that they are wrong.
but he must be generous to those who disagree with
him. With that spirit the cause will win friends,
for the American people are willing to adopt pro-
gressive ideas when their value is shown.
