S|H.rls have Iwoomo so popular they have arisen such a |H.sltion of prominence because of the Intense rivalry which they have fostered, that uhuscs have crept Into them which have made imiicrntlvc tlielr reconstruction and reorganization.

In many exercise is compulsory classes. This Is all right In a well ped. well aired gymtuiMiuiii. but any gym- mtslum Instructor will tell you that, for hygienic purposes, one hour out of doors Is better than ten lu a gymnasium. For correctly* purpose* such ns straightening the body, developing weak limbs, tho gym nasium is the plAeo. tuid for this very lin- portaid. but for the obtaining of jicnlth, strength null vitality, it Is not to be com pared with outdoor sports. Compulsory Sports. , The problem Is how to get more students out for the different games. lu some of the leading preparatory schools of the Fast the students have ln*en graded according to size and participation la aporls Is made compulsory. In a few of the colleges, the formatlofi of teams from the different eat ing clubs Is encouraged, though not ac tually supported. The colleges ami uni versities. however, are far from obtain ing their ideals lu regard to sports, and they will not until the ’vhrsity team of the different sports looked at front a different point of view. At Yale It Is argued Hint athletics pay because of their leveling Itiflueiiees, which help toward the realization of Yale’s dem ocratic Ideals. It would cuusc no comment at n fisitbali game to see a scion of New* York’s most exclusive social set and the poorest student In the college, who very likely waits on the table for his meals, or who may keep sidewalks clean to buy Ida books—It would cause no comment to see two such men hug each other lu trails- |M»rts of Joy when a football player tnukes 40 yards for a touchdown, or when a base ball player }lm>s oat a single and scores a run that wins the game. These play- ers also nmy be drinvu from two extremes of social life. For the time being It gives Hi#* students a common meet Jug ground, with the same alms and desires, thus for getting tlielr Individuality by being cement ed together with the spirit of loyalty to our great mother—a spirit that grows Instead of decreasing through the lapse of years. Here Is the rPoblem. Granted that all this Is true, there stilt remains the problem of gcitfntf students to engage In healthy sports. The main trou ble Is that the 'varsity team Is regarded as the epd and not the incuns to nil end. Take football, for example. In the average college. There Is a call for candidates for the team, but no one Is asked to cotno out and play for the fun of It. If n stn- dent Is not scrub or 'vnrsli that there Is special object in his ami the others are left to stand nround un til they become disgusted and quit. There would he no trouble In getting the major- Itq of students out If they were encouraged to come out ami play for the futi of It. and that they would 1m* welcomed as If they were 'varsity material. Tho ’vanity team Should la* used as the means to en courage and Interest students Into taking part ill games, not as an eml lu itaelf. It Is essential to have a 'varsity team that will engage In competition with the ’varsity team of Home other college. Fvery effort should be made and every nerve strained to enable this team to surpass by fair menus the 'varsity team of the other col lege*. Bnt this very fuel should Is* used to make the sport popular and to encour age students to take part In it. and the boys need very little cncoimigcmcut to play the games of those whom they look up to and ndmlre. Therefore, the formation of ciam. eat ing chili, house tuains. etc., should In* en couraged and cuuutenaneed. When tills Is done, teams will be composed of more bolw-flde student* Olid We Will have Sillier nmi cleaner s|M»rt.

The announcement was made Thursday afternoon by Treasurer Frank P. Mclntlre, of the Savannah Athletic Association. Imme diately after his return from the Class ic City. The game will attract attention all over the stute and will go far toward determining whether good athletic as sociation teams are really capable of coping with college teams who Have every advantage that coaching and training can give them. Several yeara ago the team from the University of Georgia came to Savannah and played the athletic team. AYlth a result thut the University was defeated by a score of 6 to 0. and It is believed the college boys will use every endeavor to wipe out the defeat administered at that time.
