Some Editorial Agitation.

THAT dear old lady, the London
l. Times, Is agitated editorially over
the announcement that our Mr.. Babe
Ruth recently demanded a higher
salary than the President Of the United
States. Much indignation was express
ed and the Times wondered whittier
we were drifting, quoting ruthlessly Mr..
kipltng concerning THE fanneled fool
at the wicket and the muddoed oaf at
the goal" But Mr.. Ruth is our big
national playboy and the London
what he asks for as an entertainer.
Court testers always used to be highly
regarded in England.
At the same time read in our
own papers that there has been scn1a
spirited bidding by COLLEGES for sue
ceSsful foot ball coaches from other
. colleges. That rather indicates that
the feeling IL that IL costs something
to maintain q successful foot bali
team and, from one point Of view,
more than Il h worth, II We are "a
accept the theory that the academic
side should Overshadow the athletic
side Of the university.
I can recall only one instance where
a university bid for an instructor or
head OF an academic department in
a rival university. That was when Yale
outbid Harvard for the services of Prof.
Baker and his dramatic course and
landed him. At the time I think that
most of the Yale alumni felt that the
money might have been better spent
in strengthening the foot ball coaching
stan. which at the time was far from
being all that the old grads would ask
Perhaps all of the overemphasized
discussion this year will result in some
spirited rivalry along academic lines In
the American universities and the
down -trodden members of the American
Association of University Professors will
come into their own. And again the
matter may 60 over to the next year
ana Tor many succeeding years.

To George Menke goes the distinction
of being the first Washington youth to
captain a Catholic University foot ball
team. He was a 10-to-8 choice over
John Ambrose, center, in a vote Of the
letter men, the second they had taken
this Winter. The previous ballot was q
tie, when Jack Malevich, retiring cap
tain, did not vote, and there was dis
pute over whether the proxies Of Johnny
Lyons and Fred Guarneir should count,
these two having left school. Their
votes were counted yesterday after a
short debate
Menke, varsity guard for two years,
played his first serious foot ball at
Catholic University. He prepped at
Gonzaga and the knights of Columbus
School.
He is a postgraduate student and
ilas one year remaining under intercol-
legiate rules for varsity foot ball. 1t
was not until his third year at Brook
land that he took up the game. Jack
McAulifte, the Cardinal coach, in prais-
ing the selection of Menke, said the
Washingtonian was one of the finest
linesmen he has tutored.
Hes smart, aggressive and splendid
