N YE,W YORK, August tG,--In the
fact that the Navy foot ball
VI squad will begin practice to-
4 morrow ana that Ihe Army
shortly will get under way,
may we read a marked difference in
the attitude toward intercollegiate
sports at the two service institutions
and most of the colleges and uniNcr-
stiles of the country.
At West Point and Annapolis they
believe in athletics as very valu-
able and necessary part of the train
ing of cadets. They say this quite
frankly and they act accordingly.
Civilian institutions evidently he
licve in sports also. but they are not
quite so frank about it. They permit
the erection of huge stadiums; they
accept the bone and sinew, which
varsity sports provide for the con-
duct Of non productive athletics and
the maintenance of intramural SyS-
TENS. But they have no such at
titude in behalf of competitive eXer-
else as they have at the academies
on the banks of the Hudson and
Severn.
Retarded by Restriction.
Faculties of state and private seats
of learning are divided; some are
bold in their advocacy of sports
others are dead against it.
And the results appear in the form
of various gestures designed to off
set public interest. say in foot ball,
and to mitigate impressions of the
importance of the game which i'm
mcnse gate receipts suggest
There is a rule, for example, in
some organizations, that teams may
not report for practice before Sep
tember l5 a wholly inadequate per-
iod of preparation, in conferences
such as the Missouri Valley, western
conference and other like associations
where rugged and gruelling games
are played early in October.
Why. in the Missouri Valley they
have a new rule which prohibits the
issuing of any foot bail, foot ball
clothes or any equipment whatever
to candidates for the varsity and fresh
man eleVens before the middle of Sep
tember.
Further. the rule prohibits these
candidates from gathering on any
foot ball fields or stadium gridirons
dressed for exercise. This stipulation
applies even though coashes are
absent. The drilling of new men by
veterans is also banned.
In the course of the season the
Navy will meet Drake, Notre Dame,
West Virginia. Wesleyan and Michi-
gan, all of which are bound by the
restriction of preliminary practice to
two weeks before the season opens.
And the Army meets Yale, Marquette
and Notre Dame, which are similarly
enjoined.
Believe i'm Preparedness.
The Army and Navy authorities be-
Ueve in thorough preparedness; be-
lieve that if men are to be throw into
a game so rough and grueling and
exhausting as foot ball and SO tech
nically precise. they should have
every advantage in the way of con-
ditoning and instruction. And they
bulwark their attitude by the state
ment that athletes make the best
officers. ~
Well, when war comes it is not the
graduates of West Point who do most
of the fighting. 1t is the men of the
great army raised from the civilian
population, officered as largely as may
he from the ranks of collegans, who
bear the brunt. Very largely the
trained West Pointers are required
for instruction. Princeton, for in
stance, lost more of her sons in the
World War than West Point did. SO,

LIVESTOCK EXHIBITS
TO Be BEST IN YEARS
superintendent Believe Counties
VIII Make Good

Satisfaction that exhibits at the
Montana State fair, which opens in
Helena, September S, will be the larg
est and best for years is generally
expressed by members of the fai
board and superintendent of the var
ious divisions. The large exhibits at
the 1927 exposition will, it is thought,
be due chiefly to the excellent crop
and livestock conditions throughout
the state.
In the livestock division, entries il
the sheep section will exceed all pre-
vious years, in the opinion of Lewis
Penwell, president of the fair board
and one of the largest sheep owners
in the northwest. Entries so far in the
ram sale held in connection with the
fair are we'll over 600 according to
Murray Stebbins, secretary of the
Montana Woolgrower's Association
Optimism for larger cattle and
horse display has been expressed by
DR.. Howard Welsh, superintendent of
the cattle division and Dr.. HadIey
Marsh, superintendent of the horse
division. DR.. Welsh believes that all
herds exhibited last year will be back
again while many new Corners from
inside and outside of the state are
expected to exhibit.
Small grains will be the outstand-
ing exhibit in the general farm pro-
ducts division, according to G. l..
Knight, of Hamilton, Ravalli county,
superintendent of that division. Far
mers, he says, are showing a sur
prising interest in the general farm
products divisions this year.
Expecting fruit, because of the late
growing season, to be in some cases,
too late for exhibiting, Edward Dicky,
chief of the division of horticulture of
the department Of agriculture and
superintendent of the fruit flower and
honey division, looks for an excess
i've exhibit of flowers that will form
the most beautiful display of the fair.
The honey section of the same d.
vision will have an added attraction
this year in the form of an exhibit
by the Montana bee-keepers' Asso-
citation which will take the form of
live bee demonstration each day before
the crowd in the grandstand and
bleachers.
Exhibits in the junior agricultural
division will be unusually large, ac-
cording to reports coming to the state
fair Office from boys and girls club
leaders, Smith-Hughes men, and
county agents.
Photographs depicting the indus
trial and scenic features of Montana
are arriving daily in the state fair
Office with instructions that they be
entered in the state fair Photographic
