At about this time in a pent

They were awakening rather

DERHAPS the general public has been
/ wrong, but it has been led to believe,
for many years, that those who have,
or are getting a college education, are
zone up" in good manners and culture
on those not so fortunate.
1t comes as something of a surprise
then, to read of two college men, out
standing members of their respective
student bodies, indulging in an exhibition
which would do credit TO the Apaches of
Paris.
We refer to the disgraceful conduct
of Phil Morentin of Stanford and Dave
Foore of University of Southern Cali
fornia, in the track and field meet con-
Quoted by the two universities at Los
Angeles last Saturday.
Bad blood between the two came to the
fore in the two mile run, in which Foore
was accused of deliberately spiking
Morentin and the latter of striking Feore
in retaliation for his act. There has
been no refutation of the charges by
either man or their respective coaches.
In fact the latter praised the action OF
the referee who disqualified both men,
giving first and second place to another
pair of contestants.
All reports of the case indicate Foore
to be the aggressor, but hold Morentin
equally open to censure for losing his
head and striking back, although 1t was
a perfectly natural reaction.
Deliberately trying to injure fellow
competitor by means of the long spikes
used by trackmen, is nasty bit OF work.
1t doesn't belong anywhere IN sports,
least of all among collegemen.
An observer is compelled to express
wonder at the attitude of the two uni
versities. Instead of ruling both Foore
and Morentin out of sports entirely, at
least for this season, they are openly
permitting future battles" between the
two to be worked UP in newspapers. They
are placed in a position of emphasizing
the "bad blood between. Foore and Nor
