Looking Ahead
BY clayton Rand

It must be terrible in London, Paris and Berlin to
have to the lights every time siren sounds it's
warning through the night.
1t must be spooky feeling to sit in the dark ex-
pecting a shower of exploding eggs to blow into
eternity. Every modern is degradation into the
Dark Ages
May the Lord spare American cities from such
savage bombardments.
AS far as the blaekouts are eoncerged, however,
there merchants in every town who have
been hiding their lights under bushel long that
they rather bomb proof No siren could distrub
their sleep.

This past week will indeed be OF
historical importance to our H. j.
C. Freshmen. 1t was Freshman
Week" The sophomores outdid them
selves this year in the attempt at
making under-classmen look comical,
pitiful and embarrassed in costumes
of all styles and types. The girls
costumes ranged from floor length
dresses (towels supplying the extra
distance) and laundry bags for book
sacks to the lttle-girl types worn
above the knees. To match this
style they wore their hair plated
in pig tails. The boys wore their
clothes back-part in front, wrong
side-out, and were bare-footer; but
to be quite proper, they wore neck
ties. 1t was all through fun, how
ever, and the spirit in which 1t
was taken is to be admired by all
on the campus.

Urges Ban on Using Physical
Education Courses to Keep
Athletes in School
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Prof L. C.
Boles of Wooster (Ohio) College
today recommended that, "at the
risk of being classed as reformer." "
the College Physical Education
Association should stand firmly
against the tendency of using our
physical education departments as
a field for men of very limited
mental capacity to matriculate and
continue in college for the purpose
of playing on the VARSITY teams"
Prof. Boles spoke as president of
the association in opening its an
nual meeting. He also spoke from
a background of 80 years of football
coaching. the last Is at Wooster
where he resigned at the end of
the 1899 season to take ever the
position of director of athletics.
Learning the important skills of
our varsity games,' he said, should
not be accepted as the grand total
of a college education. We should
not have one course set up so that
one with such a limited mental
capacity could continue as college
student.
Sees Reason for Criticism.
Recently I went through the
catalogue of a college in the Middle
West of some / 500 students in which
the physical education department
offered a total of IS term-hour
credits in that department alone
With a staff of four or five men
carrying on a non-credit intercol-
legiate and intramural program, it
seems to be entirely impossible to
give worthwhile work to this extent.
"Such a setup as this is being used
to assist in our widely-known sub
sidization mechanical of some of our
so-called 'big-time schools. AS long
as such conditions exist, we shall
have outstanding educators and
educational publications deriding
the value of our work"
Prof. Boles pointed out that re-
cent magazine article reported go
per cent of the football squad of q

Pals Hot After u, :.
Junior Net Title
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-As the
wide open National Junior Tennis
Tournament progresses, it grows
more apparent that little Jimmy
Evert and big Gardner Larned, the
Chicago doubles mates, are going to
have lot of say about who wins
the singles championship.
With Joey Fishback out of it, due
to advanced age, the Seedlings Com
mittee had to make its selections
arbitrarily, and Bill Umstaedter of
Milburn, N. j., was ranked first be-
cause of his impressive outdoor rec
ord last summer.
But Evert, last years boy titlist,
and Larned, who lost to him in the
final, have been operating as well
as Umstaedter, and one of them
may upset Umstaedter between now
and the Journeys end.
Lack of funds nearly prevented
the two from making the trip to
New York, but about a month ago
Chicagoan who owned a 45-foot
cabin cruiser commissioned them
to sandpaper it. They collected a
goodly fee-and a liberal sprinkling
of paint in their hair. They added
to their money by washing cars, and
eventually amassed enough to take
the journey.
Larned is 6 feet tall and a sopho-
more at Morgan Park High School,
while Evert, feet 2, eyes of blue,
is a soph at Sem High. The two
play practice matches for nickel side
bets and so far Larned is so cents
ahead.
In tournament play, however,
Evert "gets awfully tough" as Lar
ned says, and there Jimmy has the
edge.
Larned, who played basket ball
at school last year, was advised by
the family doctor to quit sports be-
cause he had heart condition as
a result of a childhood illness. But,
we'll" Larned says, "a fellow just
can't sit around and read books,
can he?"

advanced to the quarter finals in
the boys championship singles by
defeating Larry Claman Of New
York, 611, 60.

Coach Burton Shipley took quick
gander at his men and was well
satisfied with their physical condi-
ton. A week of exercise on United

up and down stairs, kept most of
the boys in shape.

The Clemson game will be staged
at Baltimore Coliseum as part of a

of activities shifting successfully

height were the factors in moving
him up He will be George DeWitt's S

Weidinger Stays at Center.
Charley Weidinger, star of the
Terps' Christmas wins over
Western Maryland and Hampden-
Sydney, despite that it is his first
fling at varsity basket ball, will keep
the center job and Pershing Mon
dorff and Milton MULTI will be the
guards. Shipley called back IS of
his players for practice, however, so

ton Of their respective colleges.
Some may say why not, but in the
eyes of many educators the athletic
program has eclipsed the real
objective.
Having been a football coach for
33 years, Is of these spent in college
coaching, I must not close my eyes
to the danger of the evils of inter-
collegiate football undermining the
position of physical education in
the estimation of educators of our
colleges.
Recently many of you in this
room heard a New England educa-
tor state that during several years
of his connection with a Midwest
ern university only one of several
varsity fullbacks had been grauated.
Sees N. C. A. A. Step as Help.
THE National Collegiate Athletic
Association is this year taking steps
to attack the evil practices of sub
sidization and PROSECUTING. BY raising
our standards for teaching physical
education by requiring a broad back
ground in other phases of education,
we can do much to help our athletic
organiza tions in their efforts to clean
up intercollegiate athletics.
"The program of this years N. C.
A. A., the action of the last meeting
of the New England intercollegiate
Athletic Conference, the stand taken
by the Big Three are some of the
promising signs of the hope that the
insanity of intercollegiate athletics
is passing. Whatever we can do we
should do, without fear of unpleasant
results from some who still desire
to engage in these practices"
