There hare been eome intimations ' Hut in this state students have^beea steered from one institution to an etfaar in order that the services of * ' jwrtacjilar students might be obtain ed for the foot/ball team or else where. Here and there students have heeoi induced to attend certain in stitutions for the purpose principal ly of thus assisting, and in some . cases contributions are made to the college expenses of students who happn to be on the baseball team or on the football team. Perhaps if ail the truth were known, and all the motives exposed, there has ibeeo some maneuvering in all of the col leges looking to the building up of "the team." The Press and Banner is not op posed to athletics. We believe that attention ! should be given to the : physical development of the stu dents, looking to this end, athletics r jhkrald be encouraged. And least of all would we discourage those who /fionoiiMi to asrfst vminc men to efofcain an education. Her? and ' ' there wili be found -a young man : who is anxioaa to secure an educa " tion, and .who cannot easily do so without assistance from <?>meone. If tie happens to give promise as an atfclipte, it would seem a hard rule /hat he could not Ibe assisted by * -iwme other person, qven though - (that other person desires to L Wp Only because the latter would Atelp the athletic prowess of a cer-|, tain institutaoa. - ,But there -?ust be a lino some-! g Where beyond which we cannot go. ' Certainly there* is too much travel ' ing over the country now t>y college . teams in order to " stage'. athletic ^ ' sports. Out of present practices wUllg ' grow nothing except the employ - went of professionals. The result will be the introduction of an ele ment in College life not conducive to the up-ftuilding of the young men along proper line's, and at the same time the loss of the develop ment physically of the individual student. Looking alone to the institutions of South Carolina, we believe that soime rules or regulations should be made which would so confine these activties as to prevent the suspi cion that irregularities are creep ing in and that athletics have a place in college activities other >ihan what they should have. This can be done by requiring that no games .shall ibe played by the teams of the uj. wio duitc wiuxij^ each other, and maybe with the}-, teams of certain colleges outside of | ^ tho state against which there is no 1 suspicion of professionalism. Thei ^ numJber of games which any college may play in a term should be limit- ?i ed to, say six games. The number ?f coach eg and assistants should be limited as should the salaries paid. Encouragement should be given to inter-class games between tho j , classes of the larger colleges to the j end that more and more students' 1 shall (be participants in the sports. - ! j The ame is true, of the high]:, scihools. Too many young men aT6! ^ /omnd now attending the high {, schools eg&iast whom there is a| suspicion that they are brought in |y for the purpose of helping out tho > footiba.ll teaoa. - Perhaps here " and ^ thera contribwtions are being made * to secure the attendance of certain > students. The result is tha; certain A towns and cities are able to turn V out footiball teems of grown and > reasoned men to play against mere youths. The games become unequal md at ia inevitable that they will S i>e discontinued unless all tfce aigh schools go out and find big j seasoned men for the teams, or un less some sensible restarictione are ^ .mmediately passed so, as far as & possible, to keep the games be ween boys of the average high school age and weight. ' The college authorities and those responsible for the success of state ^ nstitutions must give some attea- ^ ;ion to these matters, else in ? little ^ vhile the average college athletic :ontest will take on the qualities of he average prise fight. ^ ir A CHEERING SIGN s< Timae nonr? /vf Ka ar\ }\o/l rowlers try to make out, and they an not be- getting worse, as the lost disconsolate of the growlers Dntend, ?in a country where the 'hristmaa mail is 40 per cent heav >r this year than last. Aa the incre lent is in parcel-post matter, it Leans that more people in the United tates are giving more Christmas resents than did so twelve months e*o, and they wouldn't be doing that ! they felt themselves poor and rowing poorer. N If there has been, as seems to be le case, an increased tendency to void the making of worthless and ashy gifts, as was too much the abit in days past, and to use more ldgment and sense In the expression f good-will, that is a change decid dly for the better and is to be jmmended. Of course, a Christmas present j ?c riould not be too useful, too much > pi n object of common necessity, for a e< g< fi Uf f< B sa se al ei ai sa 90 ju AT a SB cc :<D; an ai !pl len it loses ail seasonal savor anu ecomea soemtihng like charity, when ; isn't the giving of a fine^name to jmething that would hav? been ought anyway. But when a gift ex itea in the receiver's mind wonder rhat it is for and why it was given, ien it ia just a waste of money.? f. T.
