High School Football

The football fan who travels long
distances and pushes his way through
huge crowds every Saturday to see
his favorite college football team in
action is really putting himself tc a
great deal of needless trouble.
There Is a better game awaiting
his attention right in his own home
town-no matter where he lives. Thot
game is the high school football game.
The college team, of course, plays
better football. 1t is better drilled.
more precise, ADLER in every depart
ment- But the high school game,
after all, provides more real fun.
There is more enthusiasm there, more
excitement, and the casual spectator
car much more easily get into touch
with the vibrant, intense spirit of
youth-which is, when all is said and
done, the chief reason for going 20
any football game anywhere.
For the high school youngsters
have not yet had time to become
very self-conscious. They take their
football with a life-and-death earn
estness. The rooters in the stands
are not afraid to let a slightly hys-
terical note creep into their cheers.
The players are not yet SO well reg!-
mented that they are afraid to act
naturally. The very band-which, in
cidentally, is invariably a little bit
out of tune-toots with a frantic zeal
that no harmonious collegiate outfit
can hope to rival.
The high school crowd-to put the
whole thing much more simply--.is
younger; and that, for the adult spec
tator, is the main thing.
For we who are fully grown do not

to see football played. We go, even
II we hardly realize it, to recreate
our own lost youth; to see, once more,
the likenesses Of the gay people we
used to be pouring out enthusiasm
with the bright-eyed prodigality that
only youth possesses. It Is the at
mosphere of the thing we want, not
the game itself.
And the high school boys and girls
have more Of that than the cole
gians The college lad, unfortunate
ly, is already beginning to believe
himself grown up. He is beginning
to understand restraint, to think
about the impression he is making.
His younger brother and sister. in
high school, are innocent Of all of
that. They move with the uncon-1
scious. graceful beauty of youth it
self, made incarnate on the playing
field and in the stands. They can
give us more than the ~collegians can,
because they do not know that they
lave It to give.

Gently pointed out:
"The task of industry is going to

All of this means that the man

exceedingly during the next few years.
The buffer, the hand-shaker and the

find the going rather tough.

Dignity a Frozen Asset
(NeW York World Telegram.

\VcW 1OTk WOIlO- dl1lJ
President Hoover is a man Of great
dignity. So is Prime Minister RAM
say Macdonald. But they appear po-
litically in vastly different environ
ments.
Imagine such rough-and-tumble
heckling of the president of the Unit
ed States as occurred in England.
Imagine this from Mr.. Hoover:
If I were that man sitting there
I would be ashamed of the silly ex-
preston on my face and I would
hold my tongue, lest the people look
at me-" Or
Nov you just listen to me and
you'll improve. If you listen to your
selves you'll deteriorate." Or
Don't talk nonsense, my dear
lady," Or
Tell it to the teachers!"
Yet all those quotations are from

Such a scene would be unthink-
able in the United States with the

The fact is significant Of what ais
us, according to M. e. Tracy. He
makes the point that Americans have
quit Giving" their politics; have quit
feeling deeply; that we have become
too polite and too conventional.
I'VE can show enough vitality at
football games" writes Tracy, "but
when it comes to politics, how bored
we are!"
That's why, he declares. over two
thirds of the qualified voters in Eng
land go to the polls and why so COM
paratively few Americans vote: why,
carrying the idea farther, London had
q murders last year and New York
420.
Apathy toward government is our
nations GROWING trait. Widespread
and righteous Indignation about Tea
pot Dome was most conspicuous by
its absence. And that was symbolic.
But why the difference between
the English temper and ours? Mostly
we believe, because Of our long span
OF prosperity. While England was
suffering we got fat and contented.
And perhaps n OF the beneficial
~by-products OF present adversely
will be a recharging Of our batteries.
Maybe the old-fashioned torchlight
parade, with the deep political feel

again.
In which event we will lose in dig

in our sense of individual RESPONSE
bility toward the democracy in which
we live.
