College Football Over-Emphasized,
Say Delegates of Nine Big Schools
Concerted action was tnken
ngninst tho over-emphasis of college
football dolfjiratos from nino colleges
nt tho Wesloynn Parley", Sunday,
December fi. Led by Art Howe,
Yale '12, all-American fullback, the
conference almost unanimouHly
nffieed that football had expanded
for the pleasure of the Bpectaclo
lovinjr public and sentimental "old
Fjrnds", that players pet no pleasure
out of the name, that football over
emphasis has warped tho purpose of
the college. Tho following resolu
tion was proposed:
"This parley was called for the
undergraduate consideration of how
tho purpose of the American college
can bo best furthered, planted that
tho purpose is primarily the train
ing of tho mind."
"Very subordinate to this purpose
is athletics. All intercollegiate ath
letics was incidental to their origin
and should have remnined so in their
growth. We believe in themj be
cause they encourage friendship be
tween colleges and foster unity with
in institutions. Tut one sport, foot
ball, Iirs taken suoh a hold on under
graduates, alumni and the public
that its importance over ho courses
of the playing season looms larger
than any other aspect of the college,
especially over the primary aspect
intellectual thinking.
Against Heavy Schedules
"We believe that this situation
would be obviated largely by the col
leges scheduling only four games
each season, each game with a team
in its own class and in its own vicin
ity. "The reasons which lead us to this
conclusion arc:
1. Scheduling of only four games
would render impossible the present
annual elimination contests among
the teams of 'he conpfry, and con
sequently would render impossible
the choice of mythic"! national and
even sectional cnampions. Many
teams would remain undefeated in
stead of a few.
2. With this aspect removed, less
publicity would be given the game by
the press and public imagination
would not be whetted so that the
fever of interest would be forced up
within undergraduate? bodies.
The necessity for spring and early
season training would be done away
with, since the four games would be
played on successive week-ends be
ginning late' in October. Piattice,
as at present, could start two or
three weeks before the first game.

Why rush madly about

4. The crescends of interest, at
present, extending over eight games,
would bo limited to four gamed; and
so the large percentage of attention
Hjjven football now would bo limited
by tho cutting down of tho length
of tho season.
5. Colleges plnyinrr teams only
in their own class nnd vicinity would
minimzo tho commercial aspect of
schedule makinpr; nnd no small col
lege teams would be called upon to
sacrifice themselves in order to make
money for their institutions as at
present. This altruistic motive given
for these Bct-up games, the making
of money to support other sports, is
in no sense a defense for football.
Appropriate taxes on undergraduates
would serve instead, is such a step
were necessary.
Endorse Coaching Rules
"We would also endorse tho fol
lowing rules within the colleges:
1. That graduating conching sys
tems he instituted, and that no coach
be paid a salary beyond that of a
professor; and
2. That coaches be not allowed to
sit on the players' bench during the
game, but that captains alone direct
their teams so that tho undergradu
ates would be playing undergradu
ates and not coaches playing conches.
The resolution was endorsed by the
delegates from njne colleges Dart
mouth, Harvard, Tufts, Trinity, Bow
doin, Williams, Connecticut Agricul
tural College, Weslcyan, Princeton.
The delegates were editors of stu
dents papers and student govern
ment officials. While their action
does not commit student bodies their
influence on student opinion is
great.
Discussion of intercollegiate foot
ball will not hesitate at this point.
The Eastern Inter-Collegiate Debater
League, composed of nine colleges,
will take up the subject. The
Harvard Debating Union recently
questioned the over-emphasis of foot
ball. By a vote of 215 to 200 they
decided that the game was being
over-emphasized.
MASON SAYS BUSINESS
TRAINING IS PARAMOUNT
(Continued from Page One.)
satisfying human wants, which is the
essence of modern business.
Training For Industry Important
It is then obvious that the subject
of training for the industries is one
of paramount importance. The
early training, through a formal ap
prenticeship " system, was succeeded
by a less formal system of training,
bearing, however, resemblance to the
system which it supplanted. Busi
ness took to itself promising youths
and trained them up in the way it
would have them go. Most of the
great industrial leaders of the past
received their education and train
ing for business in this manner.
"With the shift to the modern
point of view, education and train
ing for business must be upon a dif
ferent basis from what it has been
in the past. Society is faced with
W
v? v
problems of importanco and magni
tude unparalleled in the history of
the world, and possesses concentra
tion of power for their solution. No
one better than tho business leader
himself realizes that these problems
and situations call for men of wide
training and great vision; and that
to Recuro these men we must resort
to more adequate and effective
methods of industrial education
than we have in the past.
" Modern science has un
leashed forces and powers hitherto
undreamed of. With tho coming in
of cnpitalistic-machine production
after the Industrial Revolution, men
began to wonder whether we were
not creating situations which we
would not bo able to control. More
recently, some outstanding thinkers
have seriously raised the question as
to whether industrial society, push
ing forward at such a tremendous
gait, is not in great danger because
of our inability to control the phy
siacl forces set loose in the world.
Tho ominous voices are few, but they
are significant. They call attention
to grave problems with which society
is faced.
" These are a few of the
major problems with which society
is confronted with in this era. Many
others might be cited. These, how
ever, are sufficient to indicate that
the future needs industrial and busi
es leaders of wide training and
fecnt vision; men who have a sound
and thorough appreciation of the
complex and delicntely poised struc
ture of society; men who have a
keen appreciation of their social res
ponsibilities.
"What now of education for busi
ness in the future? In the first
place, I am convinced that the mod
ern university in its program of
training for business must not neg
lect general education which must be
regarded as indispensable in any pro
gram of training for business.
Training For Leadership
"The curriculum of the. collegiate
school of business must have sweep
and scope if the modern university
is to turn out men who will be of
assistance to society in solving the
problems of the future. Business is,
after all, a peculiarly organized
scheme of gratifying human wants,
and, properly understood, falls little
short of being as broad, as inclus
ive, as life itself in its motives, as
pirations, and social obligations. It
falls little short of being as broad as.
all science in its technique. Train
ing for the task of business adminis
trator must have breadth and depth
comparable with those of the task.
The tool must have breadth for
strength, and be tapered gradually
to the cutting edge of he specialist.
" Hany different experi
ments in industrial education on a
cooperative basis have been, and are
now being conducted, with varying
success. I should like to emphasize
one point, which I feel must remain
in mind if this cooperative task be
successfully done. In all our train
ing for participation n the world's
work we are prone to lay-much em
phasis on teahing a formalism of de
cision and action. We must see that
in teaching the formalism we do not
neglect training for the deeper in
sight we must be sure that we cher
ish and preserve the research back
ground, the quest for truth, rather
than the learning of the thought of
others."

FIVE HOURS FOR A MAN
(Silver and Gold, University of Col.)
Now comes word from George
Washington University' scientists that
sleep is nothing: more than intoxi
cation, and by careful cultivation of
habits, we can considerably reduce
the number of hours of necessary
sleep.
To the freshman, such an announ
cement seems incredible. To the
college professor who ever advises
his "children," the announcement is
preposterous. And even to the great
mass of individuals, getting along
with less than eight hours seems in
convenient, if not impossible. But
to the college journalist, the an-
louncement is rfeeerved as a discover
ed gem of wisdom, for college jour-j
lalists have learned not to sleep.
Yes. the college journalist knows
little sleep. All day and late into
the niirht finds him bending over a
typewriter ever clicking, clicking at
the keys, or maybe it is listening to
the bawls and shouts of reporters, the
attacks of displeased critics. He
knows no early retiring. His is lis
tening to the drones of the linotypes,
the writing of stories, the making of
heads. His is labor until early morn
ing.
And then it's home to study study
after all the rest have gone to bed,
study when all the rest are sleeping.
And then to bed to sleep. Three,
mavbe four hours of solid rest, real
solid sleep. Yes, the idea of the
scientists is correct. One does not
need eight hours of sleep. A? Na
poleon said, "Eight hours for a baby,
five hours for a man."
Study What Influence Personality
At Northwestern University, an
organization to study the forces on
the campus which go to influence
personality and to make a man dif
ferent when he leaves college from
what he was when he entered, has
been formed.
SUGGESTS RULES
FOR NEWSPAPERS
President Frank of tha University of
Wisconsin Addresses the Press
Association
Declaring thut "journalism is the
highest form of literature because
all tho highest literature is journal
ism," nnd that "journalism is not
cheap and shoddy unless in the hands
of cheap and shoddy journalists,"
President Glenn Frank, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, addressed the
Central Interscholastic Press Associ
ation, at Madison recently.
Out of his seven years' experience
as a journalist, President Frank sug
gested four positions.
First, don't under-estimnte the in
telligence of your readers. Do not
make the mistake of ironing the
whole reading public into a mythi
cal "average reader" who does not
exist, never has existed, and never
will exist. Spend less time specula
ting about writing over the heads of
your readers or writing down to your
readers, and spend more time finding
out what is going on ircule the heads
of your readers. Do not begin with
the assumption thnt the American
mind may be tickled, but must not
be challenged.
. Second, don't over-estimate the in
formation of your readers. William
Hnzlitt suggested that it is always
safe to assume anew each morning
the world's ignorance. The low
brow journalist may often under
estimate the intelligence of his read
er; but the high-brow journalist very
often over-estimates the information
of his readers. Assume that your
readers are intelligent, but don't as
sume that they have very much de
tailed knowledge about the thing you
are discussing or reporting.
Third, spend as much time think
ing about your readei's interests as
you do about interesting your read
ers. The temptation of journalists
is to think more about capturing the
reader's "interest" than about dis
covering and discussing the readers'
"interests." The first makes jour
nalism primarily a psychological pro
blem; the second makes journalism a
social problem. The editor who is
primarily concerned with capturing
the readers' interest is likely to be
come a mere merchant of sensations;
the editor who is really concerned
with his readers' interests may be
come a social statesman.
Fourth, write in the vernacular. I
don't mean be low-brow. Sloppy
slang is not vernacular. Foggy jar
gon is not vernacularism. By and
large, low-brow journalism is intel
ligible to more people than high-

You'll wish you could give
handkerchiefs to more

those that are now on dis

delightful and individual
to describe. Such distinc

quality of fabric and
workmanship. For chil
dren, many appropriate
designs. For men, either
half-dozens, or a single
silk handkerchief for his

or as little as you wish to

were translated into English, into the:
simple and vigorous speech that the
ordinary intelligent reader uses.
