gave as being partly responsible we're:

specialized on foot ball to the exclusion
of other sports: BE failed to place him.

best friends, in his seriousness over

support him.
Hugo Bezdek director of physical
education and athletics at Pennsylvania

is needed to keep foot ball in its present
position in the colleges and universities.
He pointed out that many other extra
Curricular activities are growing IN I'M

be made more complicated, if the
student with less time, is to continue
to be interested in the game.

COACH M'LAUGHRy
| CHARGES JEALOUSY
ProseIyting Gives Player
False Sense of Games
Value, He Says.

)H1CAGO, III, December %
That foot ball justifes its
~ existence as a necessary
adjunct to an educational
program and that its critics are
largely actuated by personal
whimS and jealouSies or false
reasoning were high points in an
address by D. o. C"Tuss'D Nc
Laughry, the Brown varsity foot
ball coach, before the Directors
OF Physical Education in annual
conclave here today.
Coach McLaughry, pinch hitting for
Lou Little of Columbia, took as his sub
1ect Relationship of Foot Ball to
Physical Education Program"
Decrying the evil Of proselyting for
the false sense Of values that 1t gives
undergraduate athletes, Coach Nc
Laughry urged that intercollegiate foot
ball be purged of this, its worst defect.
Further, he stressed the need in bal
anced athletic program for team games,
citing foot ball as game that fulflls
the desire for team play.
The only time that team games can
be INDUCED in are during youth. Many
years are left to play squash, hand ball,
golf, tennis and all the Others" he de-
clared IF a physical education pro-
gram is to be complete it must offer an
outlet for the herd or gang instinct in
competition at the only time in life
that it IS possible to do so, regardless Of
whether it comes under the Wornout

The Changing Tide.
TN THE fading dusk Of another dying
year it might be proper to refel
again to the queer shifts Of The
turning tide of fate.
For example-there's Princeton foot
ball.
Only a short while back the Tiger
was easy meat for the minor teams OF
the East-well below the standards set
by Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and Cor
nell.
This last season Princeton had one
of the strongest foot ball teams from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. and yet this
team missed most of the credit due be-
cause it beat only Yale, Brown, Dart
mouth and the Navy.
The one big spot in Princeton'S record
was the defeat of Columbia, a team
which only three years ago was an
Eastern set-up.
I ran across a well known Princeton
man today. He admitted that the Tiger
team Of 1884 would be even better than
the jungle outfit of 1888.
But how can We prove anything?"
ne asked. How can we prove anyLnlne
by beating Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth
and Cornell? Four teams beat Yale last
Fall and almost everybody beat Dart
mouth. Chicago couldn't score in the
Western Conference, but Chicago ran
up SO points against Dartmouth. Holy
Cross beat Harvard, and Holy Cross was
a push-over for Detroit.
I'VE had team this last Fall that
was 20 points better than Columbia
but We got no credit for it because we
could run up only 81 points against
Yale.
You have to beat good Midwestern,
Southern or Far Western team now to
get any foot ball credit. Beating East
ern teams doesn't get you anywhere.
At least not with foot ball writer's or
the public in general. Yale doesn't
seem to care so much whether 1t wins
or loses. and you can't get any national
recognition beating Harvard. Dart
mouth or Cornell.
AL this will change soon, as 1t
changed at Princeton, but probably not
by 1884, when the Tiger should have
one Of its best teams"
