Circulation OUR DUTY TO OKLAHOMA Harold Keith, sports editor of the Oklahoma Daily wrote the following in the Norman school paper Tuesday, November 2: "A victory for Nebraska or even a tie would put the Wild cats out of the race, just as a de feat for Missouri here Saturday would smash Missouri's chance for a third Valley title. And the fact that both Missouri and the Purple are playing these crucial contests away from home makes an Oklahoma and Nebraska vic tory loom more probable each day. "Coach Ernest Bearg has de veloped a splendid team over at Lincoln, a team that has won four conference games and piled up 92 points in doing it. In Pres nell and "Blue" Howell the Cornhuskers have two capable backfield men white Captain Stiner is a wonderful tackle. "Both Coaches Bearg and Owen will throw every resource their teams possess into the game with Kansas State and Missouri and despite the near football rupture that sprang up between the two schools last year, both Nebraska and Okla homa will be hoping the other wins because that is the only way either can get a corner on the Valley football title this fall. "Oklahoma will get its chance first Nebraska must wait until November 13, although it will have had two weeks rest by that time. If both the Cornhuskers and the Sooners win these two important games, they will be tied for the Valley football championship for 1926." As this Oklahoma sports writer sees it, Oklahoma and Nebraska are in the same boat this season. Each team is playing six Valley games and each team has been beaten once, Oklahoma by the Kansas Aggies and Nebraska by Missouri. Oklahoma, to some extent, eraced oar defeat by beating Missouri and it now appears to be our duty to do the same for them by beating the Kansas Aggies. Mr. Keith was right when he said that both schools will be watching the other with hopes tfiat the other wins. We can assure him that Nebraska was watching and hoping last Saturday and we have no doubt that Oklahoma will be just as anxious about the out come of our game Saturday. While this sport writer did not take into consideration Grinnell an 1 Okla homa A. and M., both of them having received no defeats at the hands of Valley teams so far, there is much reason to believe that the season might end just as he said, with Ne braska end Oklohoma tied for first place provided, of course, that we beat the Kaggies. So in this rather complicated race for the Missouri Valley title, fate has made it impossible for Oklahoma and Nebraska to be fighting for each other. Oklahoma came through with her share of the bargain and it is now up to us to do the same. bv a handclap an opponent who makes a good play and keep silent when an opponent is penalized. 1 2. I will never deride any official of the game; neither will I ridicule an opponent or his coach or shout dis courteous and brutal remarks at any fellow human being. An ill directed insult lasts longer and goes deeper than a black eye. 3. I will not cheer any member of the home team who is taken out of a game lor unsportsmanlike conduct and neither will I manifest any ap proval of viciousness, brutality, un necessary roughness or unfair trick ery. 4. I will never allow a beaten team to leave the home or foreign field without an honest cheer for its pluck. I believe that a team that is already beaten, but plays well and hard to the end is deserving of as much praise and honor as the con queror. 5. I do not believe it is good sportsmanship to harass an oppon ent by shouting, whistling, hissing or booing when he is calling signal or attempting to complete any act of'skill. 6. I do not believe I am being fair when I give my cheers to the man who profits most from the hard work of others. I shall always try to realize that a halfback must have a good in terference and the interference strong and willing line. 7. I will never be unthankful when the opposing bleachers have given one of our men a tribute and neither will I be forgetful of other fine acts of courtesy and sportsman ship on the part of our opponents. 8. I will always cheer an oppon ent who has been hurt in the game, 9. I believe that sportsmanship means the application of the golden Notices rule to athletic competition. College Press DEFENDING THE PLODDER (New York Univrrtity News.) While educators a.'j harping on the question of arranging curricula par ticularly designed for the superior student, at least one commentator on contemporary educ;tin, in the per son of the Portland (Me.) Evening Express, thinks that in neglecting the comparatively slow student the col leges may not be serving the best in terests of society or themselves. With those who gj to college be cause it is "the thing to do," the Ex press has no patier.ee and agrees that the sooner th?y are eliminated the better. But with thft slow but sin cere student who is conscientious enough to plod through somehow, but who frequently falls by the wayside because of a too-dillictilt curriculum, the paper has a great deal of pa tience and thinks that in his develop ment may come genuine good It points out that the 'thick-headed but honest" student frequently scores a success in life, owing to his willing ness to work coupled with the train ing college life gives him, while if he is left to his own resources he mav never be of much benefit to himself or society. We agree with the Express that more patient treatment of this kind f student probably would bring about good results. Kaising the gen eral average of intelligence should be one of the aims of college, and th:s aim is not so well realized when the good-hearted but slow-learning stu dent is left behind. On the other hand, we doubt that most captains of industry, "occasional empire build ers and "pioneering developers" come from the dull book-scholar type, as this paper claims. The ability to build empires and regulate industry is not usually a part of the equipment of a slow thinker. If a man can't grasp as fast as his fellow-student, the theories of eco nomics, say, there is no reason for supposing he will rise to heights of genius when confronted with impor tant problems of a political or busi ness nature. We doubt that the col leges spoil many empire builder? Komonaky Klub The Komensky Klub will entertain all Czech students of the university at the temple, room 204, beginning at 8:15 P. M.

But we reiterate that if they hav2 the willingness and the facilities for de veloping such ability as is his, they most certainly help the man himself and the society of which he is a part PROFESSOR PUSH (The McGill Daily.) Professor Push is a pedagogue ef ficiency expert who sits in his office dictating letters to his stenographer, writing speeches for his latest ad dress in the optimistic manner before the luncheon clubs and lecturing to students in a broad platitudinizing fashion. He is the most recent phen omenon in institutions of the higher learning on this continent. His ad vent has been marked with the ad vent of faculties and advertising, and efficiency in the colleges and he marks the coming of big business in to the university. Time was when professors were poor scholars, unkempt and ragged, wearing horned spectacles and poring over mighty tomes in the library. They could never quote the latest registration figures in their classes, they did not know their courses by numbers and lectured when enough students assembled to hear them. They were still carrying on the med ieval tradition in the university the tradition of the scholar who gathered a group of men around him and spokr to them, considered with them such problems as are yet eternal and con tinue to present difficulty to the thinkers of the present day. For that is what education is the wrestling with certain questions which become wider and more difficult to grapple with the further one advances. That was in the days before the compulsory lecture, when universities had not been affected by contact with the outside world, when there was that true demand for knowledge for its own sake which is fast being wiped away as new courses are being intro duced into college which have as their aim the salary one will command after graduation. Dr. Lescock has spoken with the greatest truth when he said: "You put the money in the slot and out comes the degree." The modern professor and by this we characterize only a type which is more or less apparent from day to day is a professor of push. From the moment that he enters the class and calls the roll to the moment that the bell rings he works on principles of Big Business. He is the executive ladling out sugar-coated pills. These he has prepared in fixed doses. And the students, veritable parrots, ab sorb all. That searching after know- ledge, that spirit of curiosity which was the essential of a good student and of a professor seems to be wan ing. Standardization and the indus trialism of the outside world are making such inroads upon the univer sity that unless a definite reaction sets in shortly the colleges will face complete metamorphosis they will become more than ever huge fac tories in which undergraduates and undergraduettes will be turned out in large numbers to meet the require ments of the world, turned out with certain set facts at their finger tips but lacking that true thirst for and spirit of inquiry which is the very essence of a college education and without which no man can truly say he has earned his degree. Professor Push must give way to a professro whtf is able to stimulate the curiosity of his students and encour age them to search for the means whereby that curiosity may be sat iated. This is the starting point of all learning. Fortunately all our professors are not of this genre. The voice of pro test is still loud and echoes from one end of the continent to the other. We may yet be saved from the calamity of the efficiency expert.

At athletic contests, the conduct of the Ilini audiences has been re cognized as one of the most courteous of tho country. The exemplification of this code of conduct, at least to a minor degree, would be worth the effort and consideration of any school. We believe that, although Nebras ka too, is known tho country over for its spirit it would be well to make amends in its sportsmanship conduct during athletic events. How ever, we do not mean to criticize the action of the Nebraska student body for its attitude toward visiting teams. We believe the sportsmanship here is above that of the average school. What we do mean is that the Illinois code is well worth the consideration cf any institution, regardless of their present standard of sporsmanship. ine laeai itupr.on, wnicn we would like to see exemplified in Corn husker-!and, would Include, along with that nationally known Nebraska rpirit, the hospitality of Kansas and t'-s ffort.'imanship of Illinois.
