By MIKE “DONAHUE, Coach Auburn Team. ■ Never before ill the history of college sports have they heroine stieh un object of discussion as nt the present time. Their proper regulation nml maintenance tire among the main subjects of discussion l»y college faculties nil over the country. Sports have become so popular they have nil s*uf to such a posit Ion of prominence because of tin? Intense rivalry which they have fostered, that abuses have erupt Into them which have made Imperative their reconstruction and reorganisation. Large gate receipts have given increased wealth, with Its attendant temptations; ability to shine lit one or more of the major sports have, in many places, at least, put schol arship ability In the background; and worst of all, perhaps. Is that the tendency to specialise, the tendency to limit the participation 111 sports to a few expert* have kept tin* student body in general from Indulging in healthy recreation, which la. In ninny cases, very essential. It Is n serious problem for the col- leg# 1 .*. If the objeer of the boy* t-omlng to college Is to bo prepared for the battle of life, then Ids body ought to be looked after, as well as Ids tulml. At a meet ing of high school and college instructors at New Haven this summer the theory was advanced that a certain amount of participation In sports l>o made necessary to tin* obtaining of n degree or diploma. The Men Is radical, but It shows the trend of thought. In many places, gymnastic exercise Is compulsory for one or more classes. This I* all right lit it well equip ped. well aired gymnasium, hut any gym nasium Instructor will toll you that, tor hygienic purposes, one hour out of doors is better than ten In a gymnasium. For corrective purposes such as straightening the IsMly, developing weak limbs, the gym nasium is the place, and for tills very Im portant. but tor tin* obtaining of health, strength and vitality. It Is not to he com pared with outdoor sports. Compulsory Sports. , The problem Is how to get more students out for the different games. In some of tlu* leading preparatory schools of the Bust the students have been graded according to size and participation In sports Is made compulsory. Ill a few of the colleges, the formation of teiiniu from tin* different eat ing clubs is encouraged, though not ac tually supported. The colleges and uni- versliles. however, nre far from obtain ing their Ideals in regard to sports, and they will not until the ’varsity team of the different sports Is looked at from a different point of view-. At Yule It is argued that athletics pay because of their leveling Influences, which help toward tlu* realization of Yale’s dem ocrat! Ic ideals. It would cause no comment at ii football game to see a scion <»f New York’s most exclusive social set and the t student In the collegi likely" waits i the table sidewalks books—it would cause mi two such men hug f joy when a . arils for a touchd hall player lines Ids ports buy hi* o comment to see li other In trim*- tball player tintU< vlieii ban single nml that wins the game. These play ers also may be drawn from two extremes of social life. For the time being It gives tin* students n common meeting ground, with the same alms und desires, thus for getting their Individuality by (icing cement ed together with the spirit of loyalty to our great mother—n spirit that grows Instead •ullage.

The ’varsity team should be used as the means to en courage ami interest students into taking part In games, not as an end in Itself. It Is essential to have a ’varsity team that will engage In competition with tin* 'varsity team of some other college, livery effort to enable this team to surpass by fair menus tlu* ‘varsity team of the other col lege*. But this very fact should be used to make the sport popular aud to encour age students to take part In It, and the boys need very little encouragement to phiy the games of those w lit mi they look up to and admire. Therefore, the formatlou of class, eat ing cltih. house teams, etc., should be en couraged mid countenanced.
