Of 1900 public buildings investigated

fountains and only fifteen per cent Of
these fountains were of a satisfactory

we are trying to deal with the

DeprOfeSsiOnaliZed Athletics
(NeO York TimeS)

Yale's new athletic policy is
something more than a revolt
against the Big-B6siness ideal in
college sports. The drastic re-
forms announced by President
Angel are in keeping with the
nations present mood of hoStil-
ity to inflated Bigness. They
have been made possible by an
even more important college rev
olution away from mass and size
and toward quality and indlvidu-
alism-the notable progress al
ready made toward splitting up
the College into colleges, houses,
quadrangles and other manage
able units. AS one scans the new
Yale athletic program it becomes
at once clear that the change
would have come much more
slowly without this preceding or
parallel change. For many years
we have been familiar with pro-
tests against the exaggerated
emphasis on intercollegiate ath-
letics, against the sorry neglect
Of intramural sports. But it was
not quite fair to be preaching in
tramuralism to college students
while the physical conditions un-
derlying athletic competition
within the colleges did not exist.
These are now being provided in
the form of residential halls
They serve as rallying points for
the spirit of local fealty which is
a. desirable factor in competitive
| play. In this sense the new or

LoOters Foreign and Domestic

General Hines, chief Of the
Veterans Bureau, reports that
this nation has already spent
Sc, 900, 100000 on the veterans
of the World War. By 1915, he
says, at the same rate the tax
payers will have spent as much
as the cost of the war.
An army captain sends us a
lot of statistical dope giving the
wealth of nations and the be-
1indhand condition of the United
States Army and Navy. The

United States as over $500, ,OOO,-

der at Yale, and reported to be
viewed with favor at Princeton
and Harvard, is truly construc-
tive. 1t offers a substitute for
the things it condemns.
The new system has seeming
ly omitted none of the principal
changes which have for years
been regarded as desirable
but unattainable. Intercollegiate
football is cut down to five games
a season. The season itself is
shortened by prohibiting organ
lied Spring practice for the Fall
sports and Fall practice for the
Spring sports. The professional
coach is abolished. With him
goes the elaborate and costly ap-
paratus of exclusive training Ia
bles and other inflated operating
costs which made out of the men
making a trip to play a football
game almost an aggregation OF
movie prima donnas. Free ad-
mission to all games for the un-
dergraduate body is prescribed
The size of training squads is cut
down. Obviously, this IS ar
earnest and courageous attempt
totake college athletics out of the
show business and restore It's
original character of unforceC
play. Quite aside from themon-
ey aspect, and easily the most
offensive development of all, was
the degeneration Of undergradu-
ate play into a grim and tormld-
able and complicated war eXer-
else. With It's squads OF coaches
and its seasons and its hierarchy
of teams, college football was like
nothing so much as one of those
national war machines which q

The sun sets at 7:04, 50 that
the length of the voting day will
be IA hours and II minutes.
The number of votes cast in
the Chapel Hill precinct will
probably be somewhere around
1900. There are 1,791 names
in the registry book, but this
total includes not only Republi-
cans but also some persons who
are no longer resident here and
some who will not vote by rea-
son of their absence or indiffer-
ence. The new names added to
the list by registration last
month comes Sto 139.
A total vote of 1900 in Chap
ell Hill would mean sc ballots
cast per hour, on the average.
Under the present law, the
casting of ballots is not as fast
as it used to be- said Mr.. Rob
ertson yesterday, "and there
may be considerable congestion
at the polls at certain times dur
ing the day. There will be no
effort, of course, to urge undue
haste upon voters, but we hope
everybody will move through the
procedure as rapidly as pos
sible."
Editorial Note: The voter
will do well to decide in adj
vance just how he is going to
mark his ballots. Familiarize
yourself with the sample ballots

then you will find it easy to mark
the real ballots tomorrow. 1t may

Synopsis: Trucman Rock re- turns to Wagontcngue after a six year absence to find the same sleepy town he used to fight and make love and ride in-even some very we'll known bullet holes still are in the wall. He expects some trouble from the sheriff, but learns that the sheriff has been slain. Since Rock left Wagcntcngue, new outfit, Gage Preston's, has enlarged the cattle business by introducing butchering. Ash Preston, the oldest son, is a 'bad h0mbre" and is suspected of killing the sheriff. There is some mystery about Ash, and Rock is confi- denitially warned against him. Beck looks up an old friend, Sol Winter, who keeps a store, and Is warmly welcomed. Winter tells Rock that his son Nick, was shot off his horse, and he does not believe it was an acci- dent. He adds that there is some new bad blood on the range.
