FOOTBALL HAS SOMETHING TO
ANSWER FOR HERE
(Bv BRUCE CATTON)


written about the real and imaginary evils
of "overemphaSis" in college football, 1t
took this queer, tragic case OF the Dart
mouth College halfback to present the
problem in its true light.
In this case, as you may recall, an in
tenSely religious young student found 1t
hard to square his career as football star
with his conscience. He dropped out OF
football, returned to it when fuss was
raised. then tried to end his dilemma by
leaving college altogether and taking ref
uge with members of a religious cudt. This
act simply focused national publicity upon
him, and made it all the harder for him to
get the peace and quiet he seemed to be
needing.
And his case is significant because it is
not one that reflects discredit on the col
lege authorities. Dartmouth is one of our
most respected colleges. It's record in re-
gard to "oyeremphasis" is certainly no
worse than that of other schools in its
class; on the whole, it is probably good
deal better. This lad was no beWildered
young husky sent to college for the sake of
his athletic talents; he was a sincere, in
telligent student who became member of
the team simply because he enjoyed the
game.
But somewhere along the line something
worked profound injustice on this young
man, Honestly bewildered and confused,
he found his role as college student great
deal more complicated than it ought to
have been. When he decided that football
was not the game for him, he was unable
to give it up simply and without fuss, as
would have been the case If he had decid
ed, say, to cut out bridge or poker.
Now the point of it all is that the result
ing hullabaloo-which can so easily have
a very bad effect on the boys whole life
wasn't anybody's fault. There isn't any
villain in the piece. This lad simply got
caught in the machinery of intercollegiate
football and it did things to him. .H
And that is where football as an institu-
tiOn has something to answer for. AS a
game, it is fine sport; collegiate rivalries
are wholesome and stimulating; the game
can we'll be valuable feature of college
life. But when the institution of football
takes bewildered boy, lifts him high up
into the headlines and compels him to solve
his most personal problems there in sight
of the multitude-well, then, there is some
thing radically wrong.
1t isn't fair to put young men under that
kind of pressure. A lad who goes to col
lege to prepare himself for life deserves a
better break. When a game disrupts his
whole period of preparation, the game has
something to answer for.

NATURE CARES: Nature has

NATURE CARES: Nature has
a great way of taking care of her
own. She came near disrobing
over night the forests of most of
their beautiful foliage during the
recent wind and rain, but of the
millions of leaves that fell around
US, she took care Of the scars in
cident to separation. Examine a
limb from which leaves fell and
observe the stem-end of leaves
and you will find a nice operation.
There is no splitting Of bark, no
splinters, no decorations as would
be the case if you pulled off a
green leaf. The stem-end of some
varieties of leaves shows a cup cf-
feet. a little rough and grainy on
the surface but no abrasions.
Naturalists tell US that as the
leaves drop from the limb, the lat
ter discharges a fluid that serves
to heal the wound, prevent evap-
oration from the tree and avoid
scars or injury where buds and
limbs may put out next spring.
The leaves supplement natures
efforts; they decompose and
make mulch rich in chemical
values for growing more leaves
and for keeping the earth soft
and mellow and preserving mois-
turc in dry weather.
