A Matter of Accent

In d paper on The Language Of
Scientists" read before tha North
Carolina Academy Of Science and
later printed in Science, | mentioned
the fact that research and accent when
used as verbs were often mispro-
nounced with the accent on the first
syllable The paper brought me many
interesting letters.
Among them was one from a pro
fessor in an agricultural college who
was also Interested in doing some mis-
slonary work in promoting correct
speech He sent me what he called d
"Jlngle' which he had circulated,
with little effect, among his colleagues:
1t was as follows:
Some learned professors there were
TO whom it did never occur
That you accent Research"
The same as besmirch,
Not any old way you prefer.
wrote him that he had fallen down
on the accent Of the verb accent. He
replied, acknowledging the slip and
adding that he had very efficient
secretary who contributed the follow
ing:
A mans education | would not be
smirch,
If he gives the wrong accent 10 words
like research.
For in most any college ther're likely
10 be
Researchers who viii put the accent
replied that she I am sure it
was she) had evaded the question
by not bringing in accent as verb.
SO sent him the following which con-
tains rese0rch and also accent both as
noun and verb.
An accent should show what we mean
to accent.
'Tis easy to err, though quite good
our intent
But. when one accents the first part
Of research
I'd Just like to club him and give
him the birch.

WHY do ! choose the Reverend Moss
For my religious guide and boss?
He doesn't send poor babes below
Before they've had a chance to know
And initiate the states Of sin
Their needless parents wallow in.
It's bound 10 make an infant mad
To pay for fun he never had.
His sermons never raise the smell
Of Presbyterians in hell.
Much less the truly awful stink
OF others in the burning sink
He doesn't pose the tactless question
That starts religious indigestion,
What is responsible for ill
Foreordination or Free Will?'
He doesn't WELD the Pastors birch
And make backsliders go to church ;
Vicariously l atone
And send my wife to church alone.
don't mind if he'd rather see
Her sitting there instead Of me:
To please the eye is woman's role
My beauty is more Of the soul,
know he'll save me in the end;
Before the gate he'll stand my friend

Don't send that poor old chap away.

open Saturdays game at right half
back, position taken by Radford,

Swartout, half back; Engel. full
back, and S. Smith, Columbia City
quarter back, will complete the ball
carrying squad.
A few changes may be made by
Coach Pete Vaughan in the Wabash
line before Saturdays game. Riker,
sophomore, threatens to GUST Vojvo-
dich, another sophomore, from his
position at left tackle. The latter
may be shifted to one of the guard
positions.
Homecoming festivities will be
opened here Friday night as college
students gather back of the campus

Fights Against Overconfidence as Irish Drill for Pitt

How we'll he can do this will be
shown Saturday. If Notre Dame
loses, you can lay it to overconfi-
dence. because Notre Dame is a
better team on paper than Pitt, on
the grounds of greater reserve
strength.
Anderson and his assistants have
found it difficult to develop de-
tense for Pitt. In their four easy
triumphs the Panthers have used
but one formation. Coach Jock
Sutherland has not called upon his
regulars to use the double wing
back formation in which the eastern
eleven specializes.
Pitts great line of veterans is
matched by a brilliant back field
Every member of the varsity eleven

a wealthy politician in New Jersey.

seven per game.
Ed Walsh Jr. is going to receive
another trial with the White Sox.
He was farmed out during the past
season, seeing service with Louis

made a mistake with the young
man by taking him from college and
starting him in the majors instead
of putting him out on option in the
minors. From campus to the big
show was too great jump.

Legislation against the participa-
ton of boys 81 years of age in high
school athletics was enacted by the
athletic council legislative commit
tee of the Indiana High School Ath-
letic Association at its annual meet
ing Wednesday night. The vote re-
vealed quite a majority of the
twenty-five members present in ia
vor of the reduction to the 20-year
limit.
The change will not be retroac-
tive, however, and will operate
against students entering school
from now on. Thus the presence of
boys 81 years Of age in contests will
not be eliminated entirely for four
years.
Other important actions were
taken by the council, but one of the
most important was a conduct rule
which will give the board of control
the right to declare ineligible any
student whose conduct outside ath-
letic contests il such as to reflect
discredit upon his high school or the
state athletic association.
While there was no action taken
on the proposed rule that would
prohibit summer camps and other
training centers where high school
students receive instruction from
coaches between close of school in
June and reopening in September,
