CURBING THE GIANT
George Owen, Jr., a former Hnr- :
yard football player and very much
a star when no piayea two or tnree vu...6....c .......
years ago, writes in an article for be able to proceed on its way with
The Independent: 'ess interference from off the cam-
"It is a crisp Saturday afternoon ( P"s, and so with greater peace,
in October, and we are among the j Students representing twenty-sev-thousands
of spectators at an im- en colleges met at Wesleyan college,
portant college football game, j
'Wouldnt you like to be in there,
George?' comes the question from ;
a neighbor. 'No, I would not, is the
spontaneous reply. In view of the
fact that I played college football ;
for four years and was fortunate
enough to be a member of a winning j
teams, this may seem a strange an-:
swer; but it was the only honest an-j
swer I could give I believe quitel
frankly that the majority of college j
football players do not enjoy play- i
ing the game The real reason for j
my dislike of football is the terrific !
grind necessary to keep in the run-J
ning. You can't play the game and
smile both The possibility of fail-
ure so preys on the mind of the play
er that his capacity for enjoyment
of the game is, in many cases, com
pletely lost."
Here, in the words of a former
football star, is the chief criticism
of the football of totfay. And the
cause of it is too much striving after
glory, too much talk of champion
ships and winning, and too little
thought oi the game itself. Over
the country at the present time the!
reaction is beginning. Prominent
teams are refusing to claim cham
pionships or play post-season games
to decide them, practice is being
curtailed, and suggestions are numer
ous for the making of less ambitious
schedules that necessitates a heavy
training grind and the interruption
of studies. In this revolt against
the giant into which football has
grown, some have gone to the ex
treme of demanding the abolitions of
intercollegiate sports, and in a few
cases this has been done. We be
lieve that intercollegiate sports are
excellent if properly controlled, but
we agree that some charge in the
present system is necessary if the
giant is not to overwhelm us. For
us there is a keen delight in football.
The rhythm and speed of the backs,
the long runs and passes these are
things without which fall would not
be complete. And contests between
schools should, if the game is rid
of its growing tendency toward su
premacy at all costs, promote har-j
mony and friendship. j
There are a number of instances i
which point to a healthier spirit in j.

football. The officials of the Tour
nament of Roses at Pasadena, which
stages an annual post-season game
between two college teams, have been
unable to secure two teams for the
contest. Polite but firm refusals
have been met on every hand; but
now the University of Washington,
which was depended upon to repre
sent the Pacific coast, has kicked oven
the traces by also refusing to play.
A vote of the Washington players
was in the negative. They saw no
reason for an unnecessary prolong
ing of the season.
The Missouri Valley officials
moved to lessen the importance of the
game, and the lengths to which prac
tice may be carried, at their meeting
Inst week-end. Stricter enforce
ment of the rule prohibiting practice
before September 15 was asked.

BOTH SIDES
One student suggested to us that
"the other side" of the World Court
issuo has not been featured in all the
speaking nnd discussion which has
occurred recently. The point raised
is quite in order, for both sides ought
to be given a fair showing. The
Daily Nebraskan proposes to make
its discussions as impartial as possi
ble. Several members of. the faculty
havo been asked to write opinions
regarding the World Court, but none
of them are against the entrance of
this country into the World Court.
We therefor urge students or mem
bers of the faculty who have views
on the Court which they feel are not
being expressed to write to this pa
per. Tho Nebraskan will publish all
apinions which deal with the several
espects of this issue provided the
responses are not too numerous and j
the articles not too long.
As tho student poll will be taken
at ten o clock on friday articles
should appear in time for Thursday

for every one on your list
any of which may be obtained
by paying a small amount at
the time of selection; the bal
ance in weekly or monthly pay
ments. You may buy as many
things as you choose at one
time, too, for all your pur
chases will be grouped, and ini
tially you'll part with only a
few dollars on the whole lot.

the strange sensation of going

purse !
