ON TRADITIONS.
"We are short of traditions as it
is. This is a young school and tra
ditions are hard to build," wrote a
student to the Daily Nebraskan.
Every once in a while it is brought
to our attention that there are cer
tain individuals hereabouts who do
not know the meaning of the word
tradition.
Some of them think that it is a
plant and that all a school has to do
in order to have a good crop of tra
ditions, is to go forth with spade and
seed and proceed to plant "tradition
seed." Thus little "traditions" spring
up and grow up to big"traditions."
Others seem to believe that all one
has to do is to bring out some new
idea, name it "tradition," and by
some means or other get it repeated
from year to year. Then in two or
three years they firmly believe that
they have a tradition well on the way
to maturity.
So, after listening awhile to the
tradition-howlers, we cosulted Web
ster, and found that his idea of a
tradition was "the delivery of op
inions, doctrines, practices, rites and
customs, from father to son, from
ancestors to posterity, or from fore
fathers to decendants by oral com
munications, without written mem
orials." So our opinion that tradi
tions, like geniuses, are born not
made, was confirmed.
Traditions are fine, and if worth
while, are often the source of a great
deal of pleasure. The traditions of
the older schools are generally strict
ly adhered to, and their age usually
lends enchantment and interest.
Nebraska is a young University.
It has many fine traditions, that no
one would see abandon. Prehaps we
.hould have more of them. But tra
ditions are not hand-made. We can
not start them. So it might be well
if our "tradition" enthusiasts would
be patient. In a few hundred years
we mav have a few.

Student Opinion.
IMITATING STATE STREET.
To the Editor:
For a good many years, it has been
generally believed that State street
in Chicago was among the first of
the crowded streets of the world.
We never disputed the statement in
the least until we started traversing
the walk between Social Science and
U-hall between classes, at just about
the same time as several hundred
other university students want to use
the same walk. And two lines at
tempt to meet ea.-h other on that
walk which is but focr feet wide.
No doubt the Univety hag been
hard hit by. the attitude of the legis
lature in withholding approiations.
No doobt improvements on the cam
pus proper would make quite a drain
on the resources of the institution.
Ert for all of that to maintain such
a narrow sidewalk as that one just
south of the Armory and expect it
to do the heavy work that it does
each day is perfectly absurd.
So narrow is the Armory walk that

careful deliberation) Nope.

New maid to mistress Missus,
your husband has gone crary.
Mistress What?
Maid Yes, I just found him under
the davenport looking for the east
wind.
If a worm thought with its tummy
a centipede with its legs and a gi
raffe with its neck what a wise old
stiKnt cannot walk along it in com
fort. io travel its length beside a
friend is nigh to impossible. To at
tempt to pass some students who
walk slow is a tragedy. One can
only keep to the right and do his
best not to get himself trampled up
on.
The Armory walk is without doubt
the most used one on the campus.
Hundreds of students travel it daily.
Between classes it is worse than the
ordinary city street on circus day.
A new sidewalk, a more attractive
walk, one that is at least half wide
enough to take care of those hun
dreds who pass over it, is needed
just south of the Armory. The in
stallation of a new, reasonably wide,
walk during the spring vacation
should be authorized.

ALUMNUS WRITES.
To the Editor:
As a subscriber to the "Rag" I've
been much interested and pleased to
see you run extracts of worthwhile
doings and sayings front other cam
puses. The inclosed clipping I thot
would be of interest in Huskerville,
where the standard of the grand old
sport hangs high.
The story was told by George
Owen, former Harvard halfback, at
a meeting in the Boston Y.M.C.A.
last Sunday.
"When George Owen rose to speak
at the men's meeting last Sunday he
was confronted with one of the larg
est audiences that ever thronged the
lobby for a Sunday meeting. Stand
ing room only was available.
"Owen made a distinct hit in his
refreshing talk on 'Playing the Game' J
in which he brought out some of the
valuable lessons of life as taught
by athletics.
'One story Tie told as an example
of unwavering persistence in pursuit
of a definite aim is specially worthy
of repetition, here. The time and
place are set in the Harvard-Yale
game of 1921. The score was 3 to
0 in Yale's favor. Harvard was
marching down the field in a fierce
drive for a touchdown when Buell,
the star quarterback, received a bad
head blow. It is the custom of the
doctor in such a case to ask three
questions, What day is it? Whom
are you playing? What's the score?,
to test the extent of the injury to
the mental faculties. The doctor
rushed out on the field and began his
queries. Buell knew what was com
ing, and, before the doctor had more
than started he blurted out, "It's the
20th of November, we're playing
Yale, the score is Yale 3 to 0 but is
going to be Harvard 7, Yale 3, in just
a couple of minutes.
Harvard made that touchdown and
later added a drop-kick for a 10-3
victory."

BANNING COACHES.
(The Dartmouth)
Yale University, somewhat dis
satisfied with the mechanism of the
athletic system now in vogue at New
Haven, proposes its partial reform by
barring coaches from contest. Con
fident that the present procedure has
robbed captains and individual mem
bers of teams of the responsibility for
the actual conduct of a contest, Yale
officials would restore this element
of responsibility by eliminating any
vestige of supervision by coaches at
games And now coaches at New
Haven may no longer be allowed
the privilege of the team bench, and
must be satisfied with lending moral
instead of mental support to their
proteges.
More than likely President Angell
of Yale is correct in assuming that
he can develope undergraduate in-
J itiative and responsibility by such a
method. And perhaps he is right
when he subtly hints at the downfall
ot the modem system of intercol
legiate athletics with the barring of
coaches from contests as the first
step toward such procedure. Op
ponent of the Yale plan will raic
the objection that it would tend to
over-emphasize the position of the
athlete, and that of the two so-called
evils, campus hero and coach,
world this would be.

A HOPE DIAMOND.
Liza Dat certainly is a beautiful
engagement ring. Wrhat size is dat
diamond?
Rastus Dat is de twenty-year in
stallment size. Judge.
the latter is to be less feared. Yet
one is inclined to believe that the
suggested reform, rather than glorify
captains, would serve to enhance the
general respect for the athlete men
tally as well as physically.
As the system exists today in
America only a relative few partici
pate in athletics. The successful
coach is exalted; and the ends of de
velopment in physique and character
are often subordinated to the desire
to win. On the other nana one Unas
abroad, as exemplified by Oxford,
the workable ideal of participation
in athletic competition by the ma
jority, for their physical and men
tal betterment. There the sole func
tion of the coach is one of instruc
tion, not one of leadership in com
petition. And if the indictment of the
American system is well founded, and
if the Oxford system has real advan
tages to offer, then American under
graduates and college authorities
might as contemplate some sort of
radical reform. Meanwhile the Yale
plan serves a3 an interesting experi
ment, and possibly as an opening
wedge for further constructive re
vision.
