PLAYING THE GAME
The American Interest In Football
BY FIELDING II. YoST

ANN ARBOR, Mich. tP-One OF
the editors Of the middle West has
pointed out In u pungent editorial that
the youth Of America receives a
square deal In the games he plays,
but that his good-sportsmanship or
honesty sometimes seems TO be lack
ing in contests OF politics, business
and professions.
In other words. the realm of sports
is a cleaner one than the one the
youth enters when he has completed
his college years and pits his train
ing against that Of other men TO
earn a place in the world.
Fair Start
On the track Of youth he IN guar
anteed a fair start, an unobstructed
course and nm impartial decision al
the finish. In football he is given
the direction Of CLEARLY defined rules
and officials trained TO see that all
entering the game play under the d.
rection az the rules
The mutual respect and under
standing c~ngendered by knowledge
that there il an equal chance for ~
has been one of the first founda-
tons upon which intercollegiate COM
petitio nhas builded. \ mutual re-
spect and confidence Of n student
body for another has been a large, II
not the largest, factor i'm ~the'expan-
sion Of relations between natural
rivals.
American youth has progressed far
in this direction. and to some extent
AZ least III carrying the lessons Of
the gridiron and track with It when
il takes its place in the rleachers.
There Is room for improvement, and
the newspaper reading public, the
largest cross section OF the support
ers Of college competitions In the
United States, have the improvement
largely in their hands.
Agree 10 Tests
when two universities agree 70
meet each other in an athletic con-
test they agree TO two tests. Ono
Is definite-to determine which has
the stronger team. The other IL real,
vet intangible-to determine which
has instilled into its team. students
and supporters the better quality OF
craftsmanship. In other words
which one or the schools will show
that Il has ADOPTED the square deal

Woe, Woe, Our Goal
Posts Have Gone, Woe

They've taken our goal posts away
from us. And we want them back.
Even this early in the season,
football fans and players are raising
q mighty how about their beloved
goal posts. And they have a right
40.
When the rule makers in their
august wisdom moved the gaunt up
rights and cross-bar from the end
of the rridiron 20 ten yards back,
they took something ont of football
which cannot be replaced.
Something "a Defend
The goalposts gave the teams
something tangible 70 defend. There
WIS something hack of them more
dear than just q last whitswashed
strip of turf.
The sight Of goal pests. wn<e

lump IN q fans throat. They were

And now they've taken them away.
II rs a safe bet that this season
there will GOT he so many Eastward.

always held better than when il felt
the posts 1t its hack. You can't give
your life to save n strip Of white
wash-but 20 keep the dear old goal
rests unsullied By enemy touch
downs. that's different.
Nobody knows Why
Why they took our goal posts
away nobody knows.
Loss Of the goal posts has already
caused several tangles. Twice in
the east this season touchdowns
were scored and nobody knew il.
There IL another angle. Think Of
the sports writers. Where will they
find another phrase 40 beautiful as
'.the team stood in the shadow Of its
goal ptstsg" TO do that now. teams
will have 70 stand in the $3.50 seats
or outside the stadium.

more priced than ever. We cannot.

unusual and distinctive about them.
In the simple dress for semi-for-
ma occasions pictured, left, the un-
usual Is depicted in the sleeve trim

frock is heavy crepe in walnut shade.
The shirt features the flare with

OF the playing field in all the details
Of Its support. rwr
In my opinion football PLAYERS
are indefinitely more sportsmaniike
than the spectators. Before inter
collegiate athletics can mean all they
should mean, spectators, students,
critics and college authorities must
school themselves 10 the same point
as the competing athletes. Some
times a player may think that n GER
tain rule or IA certain decision W not
as It should be. Nevertheless he
abides BY that rule or that decision.
That Is true self government. TO get
along. each individual-student or
spectntor-must agree to the rules OF
the game as accepted BY the ma
iority.
High Quality OF Sportsmanship.
Today when he zoe TO see "a col
lege football game IL il taken for
granted he will see a nigh quality of
craftsmanship ON the playing field.
No n expects anything else from
the players. We expect them 20
come clean" II is the tribute we
expect from youth 20 the fact ID is
engaged in sports
IL should be brought home TO
every one that there IA not n d.
vision between the players on the
field and the spectators. for most Of
the latter are p~artisans. The group
on the field are the representatives
Of the group IN the stand. 1t should
not be a one sided representation
both should be judged by the same
standards.
When the day comes In which spec
tators are capable OF the same high
standards Of conduct a. arc now al
most universally applicable 10 play
ers, then-and not until then-foot-
ball will have come 20 mean all tx
should IN the widely varying COM
munities of the United States.
