TALKING
IT OVER
WITH JOE WILLIAMS

ATEW YORK, NOV. Go.-EerperC
IN Hoover'S football team comes
to the Yankee stadium to play the
Army Saturday. Hoovers football
team is, of course, Stanford of Palo
Alto. Cal. What makes it his team
is that he is an alumnus OF the uni
versity and a letter man. Hoover
did not win his letter on the CORY
field of combat. Rather 1t fluttered
to his manly bosom through the
more sedate channels of adminiStra-
tive excellences.
AS, an. undergraduate. Hoover
pioneered the application Of eff
cheney methods to the conduct OF
athletic teams and so capabIy did
he perform his chores that he was
honored along with the battle
SCARED warriors.

MANY people have wondered why
lNl Hoover as a youth did not go
in for sports in big way. 1t was
not that he was deficient in sports
consciousness. The trouble was
Hoover was always inclined to girthy
dimensions and such sports as would
have appealed to him placed too
great stress on body agility and
Crow-hopping.
Hoover would in all likelihood
would have made fine wrestler,
but in his day they did not go in
for wrestling very much in the
colleges and besides he would have
been much too large to face an
average college opponent.
OF COURSE. HE WOULD HAVE MADE

FINDER the circumstances young
~ Herbert Hoover had no choice;
it must be administrative athletics
or no athletics at all. Thus began
the career that saved the Belgians
and wrecked the solid south. I am
told that Herbert is today the out
standing gate attraction at Stan
ford in spite of the fact he never
smashed line nor skirted an end.
His presence at one of the home
games, ballyhooed in advance, has
been known to add from $4,000 to
10000 to the attendance.
OF late Hoover has attended
games only on the pledge that his
presence be kept secret from the
public. He seems to feel, apparent
ly, that the university is making too
much fuss over one of it's old
athletic managers. With all truth
Hoover might say, IT wasn't half the
man at school that Ernie Nevers
was" Quite few football critics
would have to agree with him. New
ers is the player whom Pop Warner
said was greater than Jim Thorpe,
the Indian. Pop coached them
both, Thorpe at Carlisle and Nevers
at Stanford.

BY College Daughter

Parental advice, when taken too

it was disclosed to DIR. Isaac Nj.
Rubinow. director of the Jewish
Welfare Society, when his daughter
Olga. a student at the University
Of Wisconsin, refused election to
Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary
scholastic society. Her reason was
that high grades are not "a genuine
criterion of true scholarship and in
tellectual achievement"
Il don't know her real motives"
he said. The only explanation that
| can give is that she took too
seriously my own article published
last year in a magazine, in which
l criticized colleges, honors and
degrees.
After all. modern youth insists
upon doing lis own thinking, and
Olga has done a lot of thar. She
is just Of age, writer and her
father considers her very brilliant. -
