Season's StyU of PUy From
Mas that Report
Tuesday evening- at 7:30 o'clock,
the spring- basketball practice will
start and wV. last until spring- vaca
tion. Coach Black, Nebraska's new
cage mentor, announced yesterday
that it was his purpose to plan the
style of play that he intends to de
velop in the next season from the
type of men that report for basket
ball. The spring practice is to gret ac
quainted with the men, and to talk
over the style of play to be used and
get used to each other. It is the
hope of Coach Black to be able to get
an idea of the men that will repre

Coach Black leaves at spring va
cation to return to Grinnel college,
where he will conduct a series of in
termural baseball contests.

SCHOOLS BOTHERED
BY POOR STUDENTS
President Angell of Yale Declared It
Unfair to Those Who Are
Really Ambitious
A very important problem before
the Universities at the present time
is to form some plan to weed out the
unfit from the University nd also
adopt some plan to keep out the in
competents, stated James Rowlanl
Angell, president of Yale University
before a meeting of the North Cen
tral Association of Colleges and Sec
ondary Schools held in Chicago Fri
day. Devise Entrance Exams
It has lone been a problem to Uni
versities of any size to have worries
over the enrollment of incompetent
students. "The only fair basis of
election is to devise some form of
entrance requirements to keep out
those individuals who are below the
average in their ability," explained
President Angell. It is unfair for a
student of below-normal ability tr
take up the time of professors in the
class-room, while they could place
more time on the ambitious and the
learned-tvTe of no nil. President An-
rell went on further to say "while opening the way

An unfortunate turn of affairs
brings the football gate receipts pros
pects down. The board is required
to cut the expense money of other
sports. Yet they must feed the sport
football to the limit Why? Be
cause it is the fundamental dollar
getting game. And they must insti
tute spring practice. Again, why?
Because it is the only winning com
bination that will bring the money.
For these reasons, and they are
reasons enough,- the., athlete., who
takes up football finds that he is driv
en to a task, not relaxed enjoyment.
Football is no longer a game. Foot
ball is a life work, made so by the
monetary premium. That., is why
Grange, Wilson, Nevers, and all the
other star athletes of the nation find
it a good opportunity when profes
sional offers stare them in the face.
About the coach? Well, the coach
can be only an instrument If he
fails to function that is, if his team
fails to win, then he is thrown aside
like a defective piece of machinery
and a man who con do the work is
the replacement That is our great
American game football.

The Vote at Ohio

number of erroneous impressions
have been created. From statements
of opponents of compulsory drill, we
have been lead to believe that an
overwhelming majority of the stu
dents at the Ohio State University
were opposed to the R. O. T. C. work.
In the vote on compulsory or option
al drill, a slightly larger number
favored optional drill but only after
an energetic campaign by opponents
of drill; 1,099 voted that they be
lieved military training in the curri
culum should be optional while 701
voted that they believed it should be
compulsory, a difference of less than
300 students.
A number of other proposals were
also voted on. 1,544 students ex
pressed belief in some form of mili
tary training with 266 opposed to any
form: 1.330 believed it had a place in
the University curriculum as against
465 believing it had no place in the
curriculum. Perhaps the most out
standing evidence in favor of com
pulsory drill was shown in the vote
on whether they had received any
benefit from military training; 1,131
stated that they had while only 654
said they had received no benefit
either physically or educationally.
The so-called pacifists group has I
believe fallen into the delusion that
all who favor military training are
to war. Such is
hardly the case. The average advo-
outlawery of war has not been ac
complished. No nation has been wil
ling to give up its rights to wage
warfare. The attempt to outlaw
aggressive war fell through. Even
tually these ends will be attained.

A bus been nointed out on num

wherever thev have succeeded in that

the natural disinclination of students

An Alumnus Protests
To the Editor:
As an alumnus of the University
and a member for four years of the
military department, from '94 until
V98, and one who is proud of Dotn
of these things, I desire to register
an earnest protest against any move
to abandon the present system of
military training at the University.
The R. 0. T. C. is an essential part
f tha svstem of National defense.
The country must depend upon the
reserve officers furnished by it In a
few years to command troops in any
future conflict we may have. It is
an essential part of a young man's
university training, and should ai-
