|Ev|L POINTED OUT
BY TIGER TEACHER
Undergrads Less Interested
in Campus Life Than Sup
posed, He Says.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

tHRINCETON, N. J., April ia
r. A condition not peculiar to
i Princeton, but to other
Eastern colleges and uni
verSitieS, and in lesser but stead
lily growing degree to institutions
in the Middle West, is noted by
Prof. Walter Phelps Hall of Old
Nassau.
From the standpoint Of educational
progress" he says, Princeton In recent
times has been confronted by three dam
gers. One Of these lies already largely
In the past, that of overemphasis upon
| intercollegiate athletics. The under
graduate Is far less interested in inter-
| collegiate sport than is generally be-
lieved and there is no need for worry
upon that score. A present danger, far
mere serious and unhealthy, Is that Of
the week end, the seeking of social con-
tacts-largely for future business rea-
sons. This does more to disrupt the
students mind and to ruin his body
than anything which Is done in this
1 town from Saturday to Monday"
The thought occurs to a commentator
| looking upon all these trends and man
| ifestations from the outside that the
| professional attitude concerning the de-
cline of interest in intercollegiate sport
may be a bit too SNUG and cocksure.
Hardly any one will deny that the keen
undergraduate interest in competitive
| sports CT less than a decade ago was
healthy not only in comparison to the
| tendency which takes students to the
cities over week ends, but Salutary in
| its very essence.
If overemphasis of intercollegiate
sport has been cured at the expense Of
| condition that "diSrupts students
mind and ruins his body: IL wholesome
admiration Of outstanding athletes and
an ardent desire for victory have been
drowned in night club gin and smoth-
cred in the cloytng atmosphere of the
hotel ballroom, then indeed the faculty
observer may well view 1t with alarm.
And also he may well pause to consider
whether or not Saturday afternoons
made brave by the color and tumult Of
crowded stands. by contests skillfully
waged by victor and vanquished, do not
mark an emphasis upon elements Of
college life that cannot be too greatly
emphasized.
1t Is the testimony Of observers that
the colleges whose conduct of athletics
Is perfunctory or half-hearted are the
institutions whose students show the
greater percentage of lounge lizards,
rum holsters and drugstore cowboys. A
SucceSsIul aLnIetlc system means q cam
puS humming with spirit; class rooms
where sane minds preside over sound
bodies. 1t means a student body whose
heads are held high in pride of their
institution and Is the proves Of their
athletes, whom the average undergrad
uate seeks to emulate to the best of his
ability in intra-mural sports. Intercol-
legiate sports too greatly emphasized in
commercialized sense certainly require
handling. But where the emphasis lies
in keen student interest in skilled in
struction and capable teams, it had Bet
| ter be let alone.

TINE run Of white perch has started
and Joe Fletcher informs us that
almost every one of his fleet
of rowboatS has been in use.
The perch weigh from a little under
to a trif1e over half q pound and are
full of spawn. The water is still a
little cloudy and there is still some
current in the river, which makes con-
ditions just right for the catching of
these fish, the first of the season. The
old reliable bloodworm is the bait being
offered them.
The white perch is a delicious table
fish. In addition to the bloodworm
it is taken with shrimp. minnows. crabs
or almost any kind Of natural food
The white perch also rises to the fly,
especially In fresh water, and reSistS
bravely when hooked. It is one of the
few fish that live equally as well in fresh
as in salt water. According to the rec
ords of anglers, the largest specimens
are those taken in salt or brackiSh
waters.
Reports reaching us state that these
gamey little fish have advanced in great
numbers up the Potomac River to the
swift waters around Chain Bridge, and
are being caught from the Steel Plant
all the way up the river to real swift
water.
Rod and Stream has received nu-
merouS telephone calls asking about
the fishing for hardheads or croakers.
So far, we have received no reports
from the lower Potomac or from the
Bay of any of these fish being landed
with hook and line, although any day
now, owing to the warm weather, such
report is looked for.
r B. Huntington, trolling in the lower
IL. Potomac the other day, caught
seven or eight rock fish weighing
three and four pounds.
Our Leonardtown correspondent says:
If this warm weather keeps up good
rod and reel fishing should be had
around the mouth of Brettons Bay,
of Piney Point, st. Georges Island and
Point Lookout within weeks time"
A party at Tall Timbers. on the Lower
Potomac, succeeded in landing six or
seven rock weighing from four to six

Young Mother
 Baby Problems
Simplified By Talk With the
 Visiting Nurses

Baby Tony was born in February, very normal baby presenting no more than the usual number of problems to his young mother, who had prepared everything for him, even to the tray with the six tiny enamel jars and the daintily covered rival home from the hospital Baby Tony refused to nurse and much preferred his bottle which had been given him as a supplementary feed- ing. His mother had learned all about the value of breast milk be- fore the baby came, and was deter mined to have a breast fed baby. She revealed her difficulties to the Visit ing Nurse who was making visits to teach her how to care for her baby as home. The nurse in turn ob- tained from the physician in charge, permission to teach Baby Tony's mother what is known as manual expression"
 This process not only kept up the supply of breast milk but also made nursing easier. The young mother, with perseverance and patience, never once neglected her task. After a month of constant effort aided by the daily visits of the nurse she had her baby entirely breast fed. She was able to go out of town on well earned vacation without the danger of changing brands and grades of milk. Since her return home Baby Tony has attended Baby Welfare Station weekly for weight and check

Roof Blaze Did COnsider- able Damage Last
 Night

The homes of Mrs Catherine Scad- den and Mrs Catherine sherman at IS Railroad Hill street were dam- aged by fire and water last evening. The roof of the house was on fire when several companies of appara. tus arrived on the scene In response to an alarm from Box at 9:06 o'clock. Three lines of hose were used In the quick and determined effort to save the dwelling. which is one of the best known homes in that section of the city.
 The cause of the fire Is unknown, Only two minutes previous to the registering of the alarm for this fire a bell was received from Box 52 at the corner of Union and Franklin streets. Apparatus sent in response to this call returned promptly. It was false alarm. The two alarms registering almost simultaneously caused considerable shifting about in the department.

When Martin attempted to escape in the back yards in the vicinity of French street the policeman drawing his service gun fired at him. The bullet struck the youth in the left shoulder and he dropped. He was removed to the hospital in the police ambulance.
 To-day at St. Mary's hospital it was stated that attending doctors did not believe the wound would be of a serious nature. The young mans gen. eral condition seemed good and he had spent a fairly comfortable night.
 Captain Frank R. Cutting and Sergeant Henry Johnson visited St. Mary's hospital last eveIlng and questioned Martin. He gave his ad- dress as 240 Washington street, but later claimed that he had not lived at that address in nearly three years. According to his statements he was formerly in the navy.
 Members of the detective bureau were engaged to-day in checking up on the young mans past residence and activities and general record.

It will teach some of these young would-be bandits in Wa terbury that the police are deter mined to enforce the law. There have been too many cars stolen in this city and used in hold-ups and burg laries. There have been too many petty breaks in which stolen goods have been carted away in stolen cars.

 Martin was practically caught in the act late last evening of attempt ing to steal an automobile parked on Grove street. When informed that youth was tampering with a car parked on that thoroughfare the of- ficer hurried to investigate. He came upon Martin and the latter fled. He failed to heed the command to stop. The patrolman hurled his nightstick at him, but this had no effect on the fleeing youth. The chase extended
