A Disgraceful Spectacle.

A diseraceful exhibition of rowdy-
ism took place last night after the
basket ball game between Central and
Western High Schools. An uninten-
tionaI blow by one of the players,
which was Immediately returned,
after the whistle blew ending a close
and hard-fought game, was the spark
which ignited the pent.up feelings OF
players and spectators and resulted in
a free-for-all fight. More than three
thousand spectators were endangered
in the riotous ARRAY which followed.
Fists flew freely and the audi
forum was converted into a battle
ground. Faculty members and cool
headed spectators finally quieted the
combatants just before a squadron of
police reached the scene.
1t is highly improper that students
of the schools of Washington should
participate in such a melee. There Is
no possible excuse for an incident of
this kind. Granted that the game
that both players and spectators were
keyed up to a high pitch, that school
spirit was overflowing and the will to
win was strong in every heart, there
can be no extenuating circumstances.
Sports in the high schools cannot be
allowed to take such a prominent
place in the minds of the students,
who, after ALL attend school to achieve
real knowledge and not the kind of
knowledge that was demonstrated last
night. All sports are designed to aid
the student in the formation of char
acter and to inculcate in him the es-
sence of craftsmanship, but when they
become instead the incentive to rowdy-
ism, which has no place in the school
life, they should be abandoned.
A rigid investigation of this affair
should be made by the school authori-
ties. Those responsible for the out
break should be severely penalized,
and the entire student body should be
impressed with the fact that such in
cidents will not be tolerated. It does
seem a pity that Washington high
schools cannot conduct sportsmanlike
contests without either the spectators
or the players indulging in rowdy
tactics. In previous games complaints
have come to the schools about the
breaking of chairs and the unruly
character of some of the partisans in
the audience. Last nights spectacle,
however, went further than this and
it is high time that the school officials
take drastic action to put an end to
such behavior.

Democratic nomination for President.
There is no disclosure OF their degree

his nomination in 1924. An active Me-

The Bi-Centenary Stadium.

Senator Fess' proposal that a great
stadium be erected here as a feature
of the Nations celebration of the BIZ
centennial of George Washington S
birth is an inspiration which should
meet with the approval of Congress
in the form of an early provision
of funds. Tt is planned to commem-
crate that occasion in a suitable man.
ner. A commission has been formed
to prepare a program and already
specific features for appropriate cele-
bration in 1882 are being outlined. It
is seasonable, therefore, to consider
at once the project for a national
stadium that will be dedicated on that
occasion and perhaps used for the
holding here of the world Olympic
games.
The need of great stadium in
Washington has been repeatedly dem
onstrated. The only place where a
large audience for an outdoor spec
tacle can be assembled is the ball
park, which is by no means a suitable
setting for ceremonial affair and is
not big enough for contests such as
should in all propriety be held in
Washington.
In the celebration of the bi-centen-
NAL of George Washington's birth
there win doubtless be pageants and
ceremonials. They should be so placed
that they can be viewed by a great
multitude of people. Americans will
come here from all parts of the coun-
try to attend and participate in this
significant event. Unless provision
is made for their accommodation by
some such means as a proposed
stadium they will be grievously dis
appointed on the score of their in
ability to witness any part of the
proceedings.
A stadium is not necessarily a
sporting field alone. 1t may be used
| for all sorts of gatherings, for great
meetings at which the modern
means of voice amplification will per-
nit vast numbers to hear the spoken
words. 1t can be used for drills and
demonstrations. 1t can be used, as
suggested, for pageantry on a large
scale, for spectacles of an inspiring
character. 1t is, in short, an indis
| pensable part of the equipment of a
modern city, even as in ancient times
| the arena was the scene of great pub
| lie gatherings, sometimes, in those
days, of shocking performances and
sacrifices. The modern arena or
stadium would never be put to base
uses, but may be a means of slim
| ulating the patriotic spirit Of the peo-
pie and of affording wholesome enter
| tainment and instructive demonstra.
tons to great multitudes.
| The Fess stadium bill should be
given a chance for passage at this
session, for time is running and II the
proposed construction is to be ready
for the Washington bi-centenary it
should be started soon.
