Riggs, of Clem son College, at Greenville several days ago in which lie sounded a warning against the dominating influence of athletics in colleges appears to us as the -first noticeable sign of an ap proaching convulsion in athletics in the state. Dr. Riggs has taken possi bly uore interest ill athletics than any college uresident. in the state or in the south and when It( lets it he known that ho views the rising tide of ath letics .,ith some alarm it is evident that some changes are likely to take p lace. There is a wide diversity of opinion, "ven aiong ardent advocates of ath leUcs, as to the value of the ipresent systemn of athletics in our colleges. To tho most ardent. advocates, however, it must appear plain that the athletic en thusiasn has been allowed too ntclh [ree play in places and that so inuch tin! and thought is being devoted to the teams by their members and stu dent, supporters that the real obj ect of student life is being partly lost. sight of. To our mind a great danger to result from .present. practices of some col leges lies in the encouragemen. of the idea of trickery and evasion. It is an acepted fact that athletes iti sonme colleges are being given remuneration in indirect ways. While we cannot find fatilt Iwith a boy for openly ac copting -ay to attend any college if hie so desires, still when athletic rules foild suich practice and It is done under cover, the student body general ly is aware of it. and must necessarily though unconsciously be impressed by it. The ideal of winning, right or wronig, is not one that the colleges can afford to teach. Intercollegiate athletics, .when car ied on with high ethical Ideals, is a fine thing for the colleges and for the bloys themselves. But, whieni athletics overshadow the class-room and when * dou-btful menans are resoltedl to in or der to put out a winninug team, a daln ger' ooinlt is reached.
