THE
BASKETBALL
TOURNA.
MENT
Last year it was felt that the an
nual high school basketball tourna-
ment was becoming so large that i
was unwieldy and impossible to han-jman
die. There are indications that the
aum nnn,.n,.nf r,ln which ws
intended to relieve the situation, has
not been an unmitigated success.
Those who have been watching the
affair closely this year have several
criticisms to offer. The best teams,
they say, do not come to Lincoln
under the present arrangement.
About? a third of the teams which
were victorious in the district tour
naments did not come to Lincoln be
cause they could not afford either
the time or the money for a second
elimination contest. ' The fact that
the state is divided into districts fur
ther complicates the situation. One
district may have a number of first
class teams and all but one of these
teams will be eliminated in the dis-
. i i TT I 1 J!.l -.L i.1
inci meet, in anomer auariLt, mere
may be only second-rate teams, yet
one of these teams will win the dis
trict contest and come to Lincoln for
the central tournament. Finally,
the attendance at the games this
year nas m TT
expected to be. No one envies the
, - ei
State Board of Control its task of
meeting these criticisms and, at the
same time avoiding the top-heaviness
of former tournaments.
THE BIG MAN MYTH
The extent to which the Big Man
Idea has come to dominate college
campuses is one of the remarkable
results of the position extra-curriculum
activities hold in American
schools. The Big Man type is a re
sult of the exaggerated importance
which these activities haye assumed.
He is not necessarily intelligent, he
may not even be a "good fellow."
His Bigness is judged largely by his
success in activities. He is captain
or manager of an athletic team, edi
tor of the annual, colonel of the ca
det regiment. His Bigness is ex
plained by a series of catch words, of
which "personality," "pey," 'loyalty
to the school," "executive ability,"
are good examples.
When the craving to be a Big Man
descends on the individual student
it works mischief not only with his
academic work but with his work in
activities as well. He goes in for acti
vities not for the sake of the work,
not because he likes it, but because
he wants the chance for the great
ness it presents. The activity ceases
to be appreciated for its own sake.
It is regarded as a stepping stone.
Ultimately it will mean election to an
honorary society, a picture in the
popularity section of the annual, a
recognized position as a Big Man.
Success becomes the end of his ef
forts. The campus becomes the
scene of a scramble for a tawdry
greatness a scramble in which suc
cess ia almost impossible without the
sacrifice of intellectual independence
and courage.
Few persons realize that the great
ness of the Big Man is" not only short
lived, but almost mythical as well.
Even at its height it represents a
success which is too often attained
by a willingness to sacrifice that
which is worthwhile for that which
ia limited. It is a mythical success
not worth the sacrifices which it de
mands.
The College Press
"NOW IT CAN BE TOLD"
It appears that the college student
of today iNsomewhat in the position
of the French Jeone fflle, living in
a quiet but blissful state of ignor
ance before being turned out into
a cold and cruel world of hard facta.
In both cases there is apparently a
conspiracy of silence to preserve the
innocence of the victim. The Jeone
fl'fie is not allowed to read novels or
to go ta the theater, and when team
an and her gentleman friends are
twi'j the latest scandals sha is
asked to go away and learn her cate
chism ... this is thought to
be an adequate training for marriage
and motherhood. The college stu
dent, at least at McGill, it seems, has
been preparing for life in a similar
innocent manner. He has played at
little games with balls that are rath
er larger than the marbles which ser
ved as his first boyish introduction
to competive athletics, he has sport
ed with Amaryllis in the shade,
grubbed in a few greasy books and
messed about with some old retorts,
and maybe dissected a corpse. But
little is said as to what awaits him
when the mortar board has been
clapped upon his head, the last lec
ture cut and the last qui passed.
Those who have gone before are
silent as the ghost of Hamlet's
father. Yet it seems that they
could a tale unfold whose lightest
word would harrow up the soul,
freeze the young blood, and make
each particular hair to stand on end
like quills upon the fretful porpen
tine. But the secret of the fate that
lies in store for us has been divulged
by a promient undegraduate in a re
cent speech before the local Babbits
in which he said with prophetic fer
vour, "The college man of today is
the Kiwanian of to-morrow."
Now at last we knowl Ignorance
will no longer be accepted as an ex
cuse. We know the worst now, and
will try to face it as best we may.
We had expected for the college
graduate a life that should be free
and happy and tolerant one of ar
tistic endeavour, of scientific re-
Wp had '
reach, of political progress,
hoped that the college man of today
would be the poet, painter, play
nrricrit nf tomorrow: the Edington,
Rutherford, Osier of tomorrow, the
who'should found a gret labour
party in Canada tomorrow. But we
i .. ... .. i
realize now mar. au we can nupe iur
lis that the college man of today will
be a go-getter, a worshipper of the
bitch-goddess Success, a hustler, a
good mixer, a credulous believer in
eficiency, ideals and service with
nothing to worship or idealize but his
own cheque book.
And the worst of it is that the
speaker's vision of the future of the
college man will prove a true one in
about six cases out of ten; our not
twice in a hundred. McGill Liter

made straight "A" work as a result
of taking final examinations, the
achievement could not be cited as
proof that scholarship is higher than
under a system where examinations
are more frequent throughout the
semester and the final grades are
lower.
What is scholarship? Making high
grades? No one will make that
statement with sincerity. Oftentimes
students receive high marks simply
because they "strike it lucky" on the
finals. But those same students
know, whether they will admit it or
not, that grades do not demnote their
knowledge of the subject.
