ATHLETICS
As was to be expected objection
kap arisen to the time and energy
expended in athletics by college
students, and there is much com
plaint against the means employed
some institutions to obtain the
service* of promising athletes.
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. ^

Leans that more people in the United

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

very body looking forward to a

ig the year, let us quit talking
oil weeril and get right down to
usiness. I, for one, feel that the
oil weevil is a ibleasing for us

eople will disagree with me in this
jspect, nevertheless when we roll
i our record for 1922 we will all
;e that this prediction is correct
id we will all foe so much (better
T then than we think now, provid
1 that we all get fight down to

ill duty. The harder times look to
j thp more effort we should nut
