the advertising which you get In foot

lots Of mathematics, and need all the
time can get for my college WORK.
Notoriety Is Heavy Load.
Last year. happened to get two or
three good breaks in big games and
since then IL has seemed to me that
had the whole world on my shoulders.
To be frank, liked all this notoriety
at first, but it's too much OF q load to
carry If man expects to do any
decent work in his classes. l felt

about all sorts of things didn't know
anything about and had no business to
be talking about. ] stalled as best ]
could, and 1t left me with the feeling
that it was all wrong to be making all
this uproar over boys who, whatever
else they are, are school boys and not
generals fighting wars or diplomats
starting them, or grand opera singers
or anything like that.
81 talked with our graduate manager
about 1t, suggesting that 1t was bad
for a college to be pulled too much into
all this. He explained to me how we
had sold bonds on our stadium and
had to pay them of, and how foot ball
carried all the other sports In college
and that we needed all the publicity
we could get II we were going to get
the crowds and pay out.
No Cheers In Mathematics.
ST suppose that's true, but the fact
is that / feel as II I were somehow
phoney when I get all this run-around
in the papers and invitations to talk
to Rotary Clubs. etc, just because I've
got a good pair of legs. Last week !
worked my way through rather tough
special problem in calculus. The prof.
said It was unusual for an undergrad
uate to get away with this one, and ]
felt prouder over 1t than | have over
anything else for years. But I didn't
hear any cheers from anybody except
the prof.
al don't know whether can make
myself clear, but my idea is that col
lege boys start in college figuring they
viii get a big hand If they work hard
at their studies and learn to do sone-
thing useful and then they see that
nobody gets q hand unless he's an
athlete. OF course, I am not trying to
smear college athletics. We ought to
have crowds and the excitement, but
the public ought to remember that we
are college boys and not professional
athletes and not get too crazy about
us, and not to holler for our blood
when we pull boner once in while
the way poor Riegels did at Pasadena
Urges Sense of Proposition.
Like my young friend I am not try
ing to smear" college athletics. am
merely suggesting that both newspa-
pers and radio may have in mind 8
sense of proportion which, while pre-
serving the dramattcs, will also put for.
ward real sporting rather than merely
sensational values. The English,
think, manage these rather nicely
They get tremendous crowds out tc
their foot ball and cricket matches
frequently larger than our Creates
crowds. but they never lose sight Of the
fact that this Is an encounter between
teams and not stars.

Notice to individuals and
Others Requiring
Traders License

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, To
all persons engaged in business where
a traders license is required that I'M
der the provisions of Senate Bill No.
So, which has recently been passed by
the General Assembly of 1929, there
is imposed on persons who fail to
take out licenses in the month of May
penalty of ten per cent per month
on the cost of the license. In other
words, licensees may take out licenses
at any time during the month of May
without having to pay penalty, but
on and after June LIST anyone applying
for a license, wh) was in business in
the month of May preceding, is re-
quired to pay, in addition to the cost
of the license, a penalty of ten per
cent per month or fraction of month.
In the case of persons starting in
business during the license year they
are only required to take out license
for the remaining part of the year,
but they must take out their license
in the month in which they begin bus
mess.
There has also seen passed at the
recent session of the General Assem-
bly, a bill requiring a separate license
for each place of business owned and
operated as such by individuals or
corporations.
The Acts above referred to makes
it mandatory upon the undersigned
to collect the penalties prescribed by
said Acts in the case where licensees
are delinquent in applying for their
licenses and leaves no discretion on
my part as 1 will be held accountable
for the penalty by the State when my
books are examined, hence all per-
sons required to take out a license are
urged to make early application and
thus avoid the undue expense of ten
per cent per month penalty imposed
by the law above referred to.
