The Greatest Show on Earth PROPOSALS for “reforming” in tercollegiate football are akin to perpetual motion, says the New York Times. Which is true. Yet there must bo something to this “reform” movement, else why the continual hubbub? Several recent happenings have brought the problem of intercollegi ate athletics, particularly football, into prominence once more. Pres ident Ernest Hopkins of Dartmouth started it with his plan of reform. Then came Liberty magazine pen alizing Dr. Hopkins “fifteen yards three times for being offside in his theories.” Now comes a star ath lete of the University of Wisconsin and advocates a plan similar to that of the Dartmouth president, and ■wins the support of the Wisconsin Union. And now President Hamilton Holt of Rollins college, speaking through the Review of Reviews, calls for collegiate athletics to either re tu> to amateur standards or be come openly professional. With particular plans we are little concerned. Most of them look excel lent on paper, but they remain on paper. We must first analyze the evils. Liberty does this, we believe, bot her than anyone has so far. That is because Liberty is so naive. The eminent weekly discards tho Hop kins plan because it is aimed at i football—“the most enthusiastically j successful institution in the Amer- , lean college,” and “the rallying | point of the alumni, tho source of ! income for supporting all other ath letics, and the chief contributory argument in endowment drives.” There it is; never was the truth more plainly told. And this, says Liberty, is why the game should bo left alone. Exit Liberty. How similar are these words from President Lowell’s report to the trustees of Harvard university: “Intercollegiate sports resemble tho world series of professional baseball leagues, the games in tho Coliseum in Rome, or the races in Constn ntinople. “They should be conducted for tho benefit of the students, not to furnish entertainment to the alum ni and the public. Even a college with a small number of undergrad uates stands a good chance of beat ing a great university that does not regard the winning of football vic tories as the prime object in higher education.” i\o\v sureiy me most arucnt col lege supporter of the game will not deny that universities do not exist for the sole purpose of turning out football teams. None other than Jefferson Burrus, star end on the Wisconsin football team, and cap tain of the crew, makes the same indictment of the game, and sug gests reforms similar to those of l>r, Hopkins, His suggestions are being forwarded (to what end it is impossible to foresee) by the col lege union, composed of all mala students. But where do all these specific reforms lead I Perhaps, as the Now York Times suggests, there is need for reform not in the game but in the colleges. “Put up your stan dards and put out the obsessed in capable*,’’ it says. Yet one more voice, and one that we believe should be heard. Pres ident Hamilton Holt, who last year dismissed nearly a score of Rollins football players whom he charged with receiving remuneration, sweeps aside, in the May issue of Review of B< •views, all the current plans for relieving emphasis on the game and makes his point in these words: “If American colleges will not live up to the amateurism in ath letics which they profess, or pub licly adopt the professionalism which they practice, 1 submit that no college that pretends to hold np moral standards before the young can take part in intercol legiate athletics. . . . “Tho chief trouble with football in our college today is not so much the way in which the game is taught and played, as in the timid ity and laxity of college authorities i in enforcing the standards they set.” Determined to make amateurism a fact at Rollins, ho says: “If it is impossible to find enough colleges geographically proximate to play with under purely amateur conditions, I am ready to suggest that we abandon our pretense of amateurism and come out open and above board for professionalism. I would bo perfectly willing to print in our catalogue just how much we pay our pitcher, quarterback and high jumper. “What I object to is this hypoc risy in pretending to one thing and doing another. .” To all of which we heartily sub scribe. Either make athletics open ly professional (and the making would amount only to an admission of generally existing conditions) or actually enforce amateurism. There seems to us to be no other alter native, no half-way steps, and no solution that fails to make a clear division of standards. Wo offer no solution. We simply join President Ilolt in his “ultim atum.” Hut more; where others havo talked, ho is going to do. He, as head of Rollins, can reform his institution,—and thereby ho makes our point. So far, the reform measures havo been merely “suggested.” To whom, nobody knows. They are discussed, praised and denounced and . . . and that’s tho end. The only persons who can do, are the college presidents. When these scholars got to the same point as Hamilton Holt, curse the athletic alumni, forget the athletic public, eschew hyprocrisy and come to tho conclusion that colleges should bo more than hippodromes—when they have done this and have enough courage to face the fire, then we may expect a housecleaniug. It is up to the presidents to decide when universities shall place education foremost. The question is, of course, who will first put the reforms into ef fect, the presidents or the Messiah? We place our bet on the Messiah. What Has This To Do With Learning? IT TS with ii sigh of relief so heartfelt as to be practically poignant that we learn of Justice J. F. Hoyle's epoch-making deci sion of the Zweriski-Xonocadns ease as rendered in a recent Associated Dross dispatch from St. Daul. The proceedings, just in ease you don't remember, were concerned with the all-important question of exactly who had the property rights to Airs. Dose Zweriski's false teeth. Tt seems that Afrs. Zweriski (prob ably pronounced Wiski) had had a row with her Roy Friend, velept. Bartolomeau Xonocndas; and Barty, being fnllv aware that there are other females in this world, very naturally wanted his ring back. The lady, however, thought different. During the lusty argument that fol lowed. the teeth slipped on some banana oil or something and pre cipitately left their place of busi ness. Air. Xonoeades retrieved them —the report doesn’t, say how, but perhaps they were rubber and bounced into his mit—and made off with them as hostages for his lost sparkler, leaving his former sweet heart feeling like a pitcher with out his home plate. Airs. Zweriski promptly sued, doubtless living meanwhile on soups j and cooked cereal: and after con siderable litigation, Justice Doyle decided that false teeth are an “es sential part of the human body, be long to the individual and would be of no use to any other indi vidual.” Thus is the world made safe for Fleteherization.—II.

My report is now ready on why people are so delighted to ask and answer questions that a book full of them has been published. The answer is, that it is more fun for students to ask questions than to perform the solemn round of their appointed tasks. And it is more fun for professors to answer ques tions from a book than the ordinary questions their pupils insist on ask ing them in the course of the con ventional “faculty night” dinner. Finally, it is more fun for practic ally everybody to ask and answer questions than to do any form of work at all. That’s my report.
