Claim Gridiron Sport Is Over-
Emphasized in Modern Schools
With Capt. Marion A, Check of
this year's varsity eleven scheduled
to be speaker against the present
over-emphasis on football at the Har
vard Debating Union meeting this
week, and the Harvard Crimson
the collet daily paper coming out
today with a strong editorial against
the over-emphasis on the game
football, 'as conducted at the present
time, is receiving considerable atten
tion in Cambridge just now. That
the discussion now going on at Har
vard is being watched with interest
by football followers all over the
United States is well known, and the
effect it is going to have on the
future of the game will be closely
watched.
That college football has developed
into such a state that some action
will have to be taken to keep it in
its right place seems to be the opin
ion of a vast majority of the persons
closely connected with the game.
That it is a splendid sport and wor
thy of an active place in intercol
legiate activities is unquestioned, but
its very popularity has led it into a
position where it has become too im
portant in the eyes of many.
The Harvard Crimson, in its edi
torial, declared that:
In theory football is good for
the players, for the general
body of undergraduates, and for
the alumni. For the players,
football serves to build charac
ter, to inspire personal cour
age, a.nd to develop true sports
manship; but the present over
emphasis tends to rob the game
of all pleasure and make it a
grim and serious business. For
the general body of undergrad
uates, football is a cohesive
force and represents dramatic
ally the ideals of the college;
but present over-emphasis tends
to give it a false importance
which distorts the students'
sense of collegiate values. For
alumni, football is a magnet,
drawing graduates back to col
lege and serving to renew their
interest in the affairs of the
college; but present over-emphasis
tends to confine their in
terest to the maintenance of a
winning football team, and to
crowd out of their minds co'm
" pletely matters of larger educa
tional importance; and here is,
perhaps, the most serious evil
of the present situation.
Just how to put football on a ra
tional basis seems to be a difficult
question. The adoption of rules and
Gift Hosiery
With winter nipping at
one's ankles and keen
winds blowing from
around every corner, wool
hosiery is the logical
choice. Especially when
one can choose such smart
ones as those at Rudge &
Guenzel's. Knit in de
lightful patterns and ex
quisite colorings, and so
beautifully made that
they are very acceptable
as gifts. You can choose
from all wool, silk-and-wool,
wool-and-cotton
a splendid selection.
Or, if you prefer a dain
tier hose to give your
friends you can find at
Rudge & Guenzel's all the
smartest shades of silk
hose in either service
weight or sheer chiffon.

regulations of a too drastic nature
might well fail to do any good. The
game has been slowly growing to its
present state and it will take time to
overcome the undesirable features
which are noted at present and bring
the game back to the condition that
should prevail. Too drastic action is
pretty sure to fail.
Offer Several Sag getioni
With a view to making a start the
Harvard Crimson has offered the fol
lowing ideas as a first step toward
the desired goal:
1. The Harvard Athletic Com
mittee should arrange for a
football meeting, with represent'
tatives from Harvard, Yale, and
two other universities to be
selected later, who would draw
up an agreement:
A. To abolish all spring foot
ball practice and preseason prac
tice, thus starting the football
season at the time college opens,
and ending it with the last
game.
B. To abandon scouting. By
scouting we mean the current
practice of sending accredited
agents to watch and report the
system of play used by an op
posing team. Just as signal
stealing, once a common thing in
football, was finally discredited
by common agreement, in like
manner scouting can be given
the stamp of common disappro
val. C. To limit football practice
to three hours in the afternoon.
We mean by this that the num
ber of hours of practice shall
be so limited, that football will
not make the exorbitant de
mands upon a student's time
that it now does. Evening meet
ings should, therefore, be dis
couraged. Coich Should Be Harvard Man
2. The head coach of the Har
vard football team should be a
Harvard man, since a graduate
of Harvard is more likely to be
in sympathy with the ideals for
which Harvard stands than an
outsider. Because of his great
influence upon the players, his
character and personality should
be paramount considerations.
Since the object of coaching is
to teach men, to play the grme,
and, since in every sport to play
well is one of the greatest in
centives to playing at all, the
Harvard football coach should
be the very best available.
8. The Crimson advocates ath
letics for all. Class football, be
gun this year, should be contin
ued and fostered by providing
class teams with adequate, paid
coaching.
4. Admission requirements
and general academic standards
should be maintained as strict
ly as they are at present. Stu
dents who represent Harvard on
the football field should be rep
resentative Harvard men. This
implies that they maintain their
accademic standing at all times.
5. There should be no public
sale of tickets to any Harvard
football game. Such games
should be considered the con
cern of the undergraduates of
the competing colleges. Throw
ing these games open to the gen
eral public has brought about
some of the worst evils of col
lege football. All sales of tick
ets should be by application, and
a strict check should be kept of
the occupants of seats at every
game to discourage speculation.
Advocates No Schedule Change
6. For the present the Crim
son advocates no change in Har
vard's game schedules. The pres
ent ruling against post-season
games should be continued. The
Crimson opposes the idea of an
Eastern Football Conference,
which is being currently discuss
ed in the press. It is conceiva
ble thut such a conference might
be made the instrument for ef
fecting a wider1 acceptance than
is now possible of limitations
upon the overemphasis of foot
ball. But just the opposite mo
tive seems now to underlie the
agitation in favor of such a con
ference. A Big Eastern Foot
ball League, with its big confer
ence games every week, would
bring to final completion those
evils against which the Crimson
directs these proposals.
7. The Crimson deplores the
preponderance of space devoted
to college football in the news
papers. The doings of profes
sional football teams may in the
future, come so to fill the public
eye as to remedy a large part
of this evil. The custom of pick
ing All-American teams is the
last stage of that cheap aggran
dizement through newspaper
publicity which tends to create
in students' minds a false sense
of values. The Crimson, there
fore, has discontinued this year
its old custom of picking an Ali
Stadium team. The (Crimson
also deplores the habit of sport
ing writers to make college
players the butt of their gibes
and witticisms. This practice is
decidedly pernicious. Because
a player makes an error in a
football game, his career in life
may bt. Tuined by branding him
before the public as "the man
who dropped the punt"
THE DAILY NEBRA8E AN
MILITARISM IS
UNDER ATTACK
Compulsory Feature of Mili
tary Training in Colleges
la Condemned
ASKS FOR ITS REMOVAL
Washington, Dec. 10. Military
training in high schools and its com
pulsory features in colleges and the
universities are condemned in a
statement issued Monday by a rep
resentative group of statesmen, edu
cators, churchmen, editors, social
workers and prominent men and wo
men, including Senators William E.
Borah, (Rep.), Henrik Shipstead,
(Farmer-Labor), George W. Norris,
(Rep.), and Robert M. LaFollette,
Jr., (Rep.)
The attack is contained in a fore
word to a pamphlet on "Military
Training in Schools and Colleges of
the United States," by Winthrop D.
Lane, of New York City, made pub
lic then. The group calls for the re
moval of military training from high
schools and of its compulsory fea
tures from colleges "as a minimum
program for dealing with the Re
serve Officers' Training Corps."
The pamphlet will be issued within
a day or two.
"The extent of miliary training
in the United States will come as a
surprise to many Americans," says
the opening paragraph of the fore
word, commending the pamphlet.
Continuing, it says:
Fact Call for Some Action
"But facts like these call for
some action. Even those who, hav
ing read this pamphlet, still believe
in the Reserve Officers' Training
Corps, will surely want to be on their
guard against its becoming a means
of militarizing America. It would
be a tragedy if at the very moment
when such ancient enemies as Ger
many and France are outlawing war
between each other, the military
spirit should assert itself in the Un
ited States.
"Our schools ought to be the best
defense against this. There certain
ly we should have a positive edu
cation for peace. Such education is
wholly inconsistent (1) with military
training in the high schools, and (2)
with compulsory military training in
the colleges.
"At the very least, military train
ing should be rigidly excluded from
the high schools. It does not pro
vide the best form of physical train
ing, it does not teach constructive
citizenship; if successful it tends to
impart aggressive, even jingoistic
notions by its effect upon immature
minds at their formative period.
"When such training is made com-
nulsorv in hich ahnrls if ic on
direct approach to that nniversial
military training and service which
in peace time public opinion in Am
erica has overwhelmingly rejected.
Against Compulsory Training
'The same argument applies to
compulsory training in the colleges
when imposed by college faculties.
A country which has refused to ac
cept compulsory training and ser
vice for all its citizens cannot con
sistently permit young men ambi
tious for an education to be forced
into accepting militarytraining as a
part of the price for that education.
So much ought to be clear to every
man who has respect for the spirit
of American institutions and hop ;
for American leadership in world
peace.
"The removal of military training
from high schools, and of its com
pulsory features from the colleges, is
a minimum program for dealing with
the R. O. T. C. But a further con
clusion is forced upon us. We are
convinced that it is alien to the best
interests of our universities and to
the highest ideals of learning that the
War Department should be given bo
much power, and military training
so much place as it now has, in our
college world.
"The atmosphere of military
training is not the atmosphere for
the finest, the most, thoughtful
work along any line requiring inde
pendent thinking. Higher education
ought to exist for the encourage
ment of independent thinking.
"Science, art, and culture are not
and cannot be purely national. All
earning is witness to the truth that
'above all nations is 'humanity.'
Are Inappropriate Fields
"Colleges and universities, chore-
fore, are peculiarly inappropriate
fields for military training and for
the intrusive presence of a military
bureaucracy. We Americans would
have said this of any country in the
world. There is no virtue of our
own which makes us immune to a
militarism which has playd so fatal
a role in Europe.
"In recommending this pampHet
therefore, we urge not merely the
thoughtful consideration of its
statements but action to secure to
American youth such educational in
fluences as will makn equivocally for
peace."
In explaining "Why This Pamph
let Has Been Written" Mr. Lane
says:
"The object of this pamphlet is to
put facts into the hands of the Am
erican people. The public has not
passed upon the question of military
training for youth. It has register
ed opposition to the idea of univer
sal compulsory military training, but

are fine enough to
upon the present near-substitute it
has not spoken. Congress, under
the emotion of a great European
war, put into effect the National De
fense Act, and in so doing author
ized the President of the United
States to introduce military training
into civil educational institutions;
the War Department is now showing
what this may mean, but the general
public has hardly known what was
going on."
