But Whales Intelligence Is Still Object Of Doubt,
Despite Recent Investigations Reported to
Carnegie Institution of Washington.

breathing apparatus and change his
feeding habits. but also a good many
changes in his nervous structure. He
has developed, the dissections show, an
enormous hind brain, or cerebellum,
whose function is largely to enable him
to retain his equilibrium. The dlsSec-
tions showed a large brain area con-
cerned solely with movements, sur
rounded by tracts which did not seem
differentiated for any specific function.
Intelligence Hard to Fix.
The question of whether the whale is
highly intelligent or creature whose
DAYS in the ocean depths are passed in
a dim semi-consciousnes hardly can be
determined from the brain structure,
says DR.. Kellogg. His intellectual de-
velopment, If there has been any, has
followed a radically different path
from that of the land animals which
eliminates in man. OF course he
wouldn't make a high score on any in
telligence test devised by human psy-
chologist, provided he could be pre-
vailed upon to submit to it. On the
other hand. any human genius might
prove a terrible Ounce on test devised
by some whale sage, philosophizing in
his watery home.
Among the abilities which have been
attributed to some members of the
whale family. DR.. Kellogg pointed out,
Is that of rapid communication. Cases
have been reported, he says, where a
warning of danger apparently is passed
through a whole school" scattered
over four or five miles, In very short
time. Nobody knows how this is &C
compliShed.
Among other families-especially the
pilot whales or black fiSh-there is ap-
parently a markedly developed follow
the-leader" organization. When one
animal goes on the rocks all the others
follow, even though it means certain
death. This has happened on the coast
Of Scotland and quite recently on Cape
Cod. Others, DR.. Kellogg says, have
noted a strong maternal affection.
Whale Suicide Meditated.
Perhaps the wierdest of all whale
habits, DR.. Kellogg pointed out, is that
notable instance of which among one
Of the smaller toothed whale families
occurred on the Virginia coast last year.
Repeatedly pushed into deeper water by
bystanders, the animal insisted on re-
turning to land. He finally came ashore
further down the coast and succeeded
in taking his own life by Browning" in
the air his ancestors had forsaken mil
lions Of years before. But, DR.. Kellogg
says, due to the impossibility of observ-
ing closely the behavior of any of the
whales and porpoises, most stories of
whale intelligence must be considered
as fairy tales" for the present.

COLUMBIA GRID
CHARGES To De
IGNORED

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Charges
of professionalism hurled against
the football eleven of Columbia
University probably will be ig'
nored, it was indicated today.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of the university, speak
ing last night at the annual din
ner of the &C" Club, denied the
charges and said they should be
ignored.
Not Serious
DR.. Butler said the charges were
featured by newspapers because
they we're dramatic and that thCy
should not be taken seriously.
A storm of Indignation swept
the university when it was charged
that football players at Columbia
were paid and further that a com
mittee of "Nacoms,' secret
honor society of seniors and
alumni, was looking into the
football situation.
Lou Little, football coach.
branded all charges as false.
DR.. Butler praised Columbia's
coaches and athletic directors in
his address.

Strength Below Par

Davis was not sick nor in
jured, but his strength had not
returned following a touch of
something which at first was
feared as pneumonia. The team
physician did not deem it wise
for him to even be on the
bench and thus any temptation
which might have overcome
Rip Miller to use a man some
what under par, was removed.
Since football is essentially
a game for the hardy, let the
colleges take the responsibility,
one due every parent, to have
available for play only those
players who are standing up
under the wear and tear and
let a definite check as to this
be made at the latest Oh the
morning of the game.
There are plenty of un-
selfish coaches who. in any
situation on the field, would
not call on a player unfit for
duty. We believe the majority
of mentors to be men of that
type. Yet, why not play 100
per cert safe about such a
decision and, like Navy, have
a doctor make the final YER
dict as to condition ard fit
ness?

record of not having suffered d
defeat but will have to over
power. one of the best wrestlers

Rousing Match Due
Not all the excitement will be
furnished in the headline bout,
however. There should be more
than thrills when Chief White
Feather and Pat O'Shocker come
to grips, or poke each others
jaws. They struggled to rous-
ing 30-minute brawl two weeks
ago and the customers expect to
see similar duel tonight.
O'Shocker held the powerful Hans
Kampfer, German, to a Commute

The Self-made man is proVerbl-
ally self-satiSfied. It is always re-
markable to perform a great
task; but to be aware of it is to
destroy the fruits of victory.
Football made itself, performed
a great task, showed courage and
endurance. It is deserving of
praise and the reward it has
reaped in popularity.
Sport Becomes Satisfied
Finally, however; football be-
came aware of itself and what it
had done. 1t spoiled the fruits Of
it's own victory great as that vjcN
tory appeared to be. 1t became
self-Satisfied. It sneered at the
efforts of the Carnegie Founda-
ton. It abused privileges &C
corded the game.
Despite all these charges, foot
ball remains as the greatest of all
school games. Nearly all men
who have played the game remain
as it's staunch adherents. It is
the staunch friends of football
who nov ask for naturalization.
They advocate a return to nor.
NAL football conditions.
Football today is much like the
beer and whisky business was be-
fore prohibition.
Matter of Control
The owner of the saloon or
other retail establishment did not
control the business. The brewers
and sdistillers did.
Control of football IS in the
right hands in many instances.
1t is in the wrong hands in other

instances. The whole game must
be held responsible.
Delving into abuses doesn't
help football, and it doesn't help
individual colleges or groups OF
colleges to solve their problems.
All colleges know what the
other are doing Each has merely
to know itself to know all the
others.
Recent episodes Of the football
world have caused the spotlight
to be turned on the game. Each
of these episodes is a manifesto
ton of more than superficial sig
nificance.
Surely, none in the game is so
blind that he cannot readily see
and recognize the truth of it. A
period of transition has set in.
1t is high time the friends of
football organized once again to
preserve the game to posterity.
Selfish motives of individuals
will do litt]o to aid football now
On the contrary they will retard
the movement to preserve foot
ball.

PH|PPS ROLLS
RECORD IN
BALTIMORE
By GINO SINH

Annapolis has broken into the
record books with a resounding
crash, and Ray Phipps, a veteran
bowler, is having his back pounded
by his delighted townsmen. The
record, however, was made on
Baltimore drives.
The National Duckpin Bowling
Congress announced that, after a
thorough investigation, it found
Phipps' 463 set. rolled at the
Tivoli alleys, Baltimore, last Fri
day, was, in every respect, accord
ing to Hoyle and declared it a
new Central-South Atlantic mark.
William Dare, a widely known
Baltimorean. acted as foul umpire.
The new record enabled the
Bill ArnCid'S Annapolis Bucks,
Who finished seventh in the N. D.
B. C. tournament last March. to
turn back the Sellmeyer All-Stars
in an intercity match.
No Big Games
Phipps' set was remarkable, in
that it did not include a dis
proportionally big game. All
three of his games were con-
sistently good. His first game was
1863, his second 1876, and his third
159. He had four strikes and 19
spares. These were the first
three games of a five-game match,
and he went on to boost his five
game total to 708, which is four
pins shy of the present five-game
record held by George Lang, of
Baltimore.
The former Central-South At
lantic high three-game set record
was held by Charley Phillips, 458,
rolled in the Masonic League on
November 27, 1928, one of the
oldest records on the books. For
three seasons bowlerS in Wash
ington, Baltimore, Richmond and
other South Atlantic regions have
been striving to better it under
regulation conditions without sue
cess. It has often been sur
passed in open competition.
The New England, and national
mark, is held by Matty Kanan,
of Lawrence, Mass. who 'ounded
the naples for 478, With games
of 1863, lat and 1862, on his home
drives on January 5, 1880.
Cutters Width Vary
The N. D. B. C.. continues to
recognize two sets of records due
to a one-half inch difference in
the width OF cutters in the
South and those up North.
Congress officials are watching
the difference in scores closely.
Should it develop that the width
makes no difference, it will
abolish sectional distinctions be-
tween records.
