However, the coming week promlaea to abound with interest, as many of the strongest quintet are matched one agalnat another. The week also promise to be busy aa practically every team of three circuits la scheduled to play at laaat once. Only three more week of the local schedule remain, to that aald from the regular schedule contests, many postponed game will be played. What 1 holding the center of Interest at the preeent time la the game between the Townsends and Wealeyan untverelty Saturday evening. This event la looked forward to aa the biggest game of ths eaaon. The Townsends bar not been defeated In the Trl-Clty league thla aea aon, having won nine eralght games. Though the aeaaon la hot at aa end, they are virtually the champions of tha Trl- Clty loup. The Methodist who com here Satur day have equally as good a reputation. Thty have been defeated but onee thla year and then by the University of Ne- braska. The Xfethodlata at preeent are the bolder of the Nebraska Intercol leglate Athletic championship having alsj held thla title for the last three aeaaona. At Sllcht DlaavalTaatase. The Methodist will be placed at a alight disadvantage when they engage the Towneenda aa the match will be, played under the Amateur Athletic union rules Instead of those governing college. The college rule allow the players more liberties thus usually making the combats a great deaf faster than under the ama teur rulea. ' Last aeaaon. Wealeyaa took the Town- sends, then under the cognomen of the Pirate. Into earn p and the Omaha quintet la resolved to be the victors ta the coming fray. That the coming fray will be the beet basket ball game ef the aeaaon ta confidently looked forward to by the tana. The Omaha National Banks and the Creighton Laws wrlll stag the preliminary game at S o'clock. Plan are being arranged to play a series of gamea at the end of the aeaaon between the First Christian an the lead era of the Church league In Council Bluffs. It la planned to stage three con tents ao that the championship of the two cltlea may be decided. The Lincoln Toung Men' Christian association will bring It team to Omaha March If to play the Towneenda at the Indoor athletio meet given by the Toung Men's Christian as eta tl on at the Audi torium. The Lincoln team ta recruited chiefly from ex-Unlverslty of Nebraaka stars and other college player.

For a number of aeaaona there haa been a debate waged between graduates of a number of leading universities which haa never broken Into print It concerns the degree of encour agement which may property be extended by a unlveralty to young men who ahow themselves competent in preparatory school sport. The two or three institutions, graduates of which are inclined to debate the aub Ject whenever they get together to talk over laat year's foot ball games, are all sufficiently assured In their position ao that no one of them questions the right of another to regulate Its own affairs. For this reason It does not seem likely, there will ever be any official disagree- ment on the subject But the debate 'M interesting nevertheless. "Isn't It true that a number of the player who haVe been moat prominent on your teama in the last few years have been In receipt of an amount of money large enough to pay all their expenses?' asks the opposition. "It 1 true that aome of the men who have been prominent as athletee have been in receipt of scholarships." U the answer. "But they have received thla aid not because they are athletes, but because they conform In character and other qualities to certain standards which have been set down aa eligibility requirements for the particular acholarshtp fund from which they receive Income." Worthy of the Honor. There, la not much room for questioning the fact that In the case referred to the students who have received scholarship aid have been the type of men who could properly have been granted scholarships regardless of their athletic ability. Never theless It la far from certain that they would have been granted scholarships had they not been able to give an exception ally .good account of themselves on the athletio field. ' Defender of the proposition maintain that the propriety of granting the assist ance which has been extended 1 fully covered In the original be oat of the fund which are uaed for the purpose. "For character, fair . ability, Influence among tha undergraduate community and promise of future usefulness," they ay, fully cover the ease of a prospective freshman foot ball player who la capable f pasting hi examination a. but who meeds the assurance of financial assist ance In order to make hla prospect aa an undergraduate aarured. All Schools After Athletes. In the particular cases of auch assist ance which have been referred to, ther can b no question that the Individuals who have been helped have deserved the aid which ha been extended. They will probably prove useful dtlsena m after life, but It I open to question whether they would bare found the obtaining of a degree ao easy a matter had they nee been so proficient in athletio. And that lav the danger ef the whole propaganda. All college athletic authorities find it con venient to enlist new stadent who can be counted upon to acquit themselves as members of teama. The aupply of youngsters who can be counted upon from the dual viewpoint of character and athletic ability la limited. After the aupply of charactered recruit Stops with the flrat few leader among the eollegea, are the others going to stop their aid to athletes because the material la not up to character requirements T .
