President Riggs, of Clemson, has sounded a timely warning. Football is becoming too much of a dominant factor in the standing of the colleges, and tnat much less is being thought of the real standing of these colleges as institutions of learning. There is much to be said in favor of football as an amusement and as a developer of college boys and men. It is a manly sport. But it has become more than a sport. No longer the colleges encourage football for the purpose of developing the students physically and otherwise. The game is now resorted to as a means of advertising the college. The football team represents the standing of the college in the public mind. Everything else is forgotten. And in order that the college may be properly represented by its foot ball team, the team must be trained. There must be coaches and assistant oaches. These men receive in many cases several times the salary paid to the president of the college and to the professor who has given a lifetime of hard work in an endeavor to make the institution a real institution of learning. The alumni and friends of the college are willing each season to raise $15,000 to $25,000, if needs be, for the proper training of the football team. But if the college sent out a call for funds -with the announcement that the income from the endowment was insufficient to pay expenses and that the salaries of the Drofessors were so meagre they could not live, there would be little if any response to the call. And we cannot see that the men who play football on the football teams after they go away are bringing any more credit to the colleges than ordinary individuals who have never played football. Do they make better fanners, better lawyers, better preachers, or more learned statesmen than the men who study books and do not play football? We hardly think so. Then too there is another danger. The game is not played by professionals, it is stated. It is not and then it is. There are men in the colleges playing football today who would not be there if football was not beTi7k+1 ~ nig n uxzu uiere 13 a uuarwy high school boy who has made a record on the high school team as a first class player, some alumnus of some college suddenly desires to give h'm an education at this or the other institut'on. He goes to a college where a strong team is being built un, and maybe not to the college he would select, if he sought only an education. The student body now and then decides that some student who has been at college, but who is kept away for financial reasons, should come back and complete his education. But he stars at football and not in the class-room. The boy of great promise in the class-room is se'dom remembered. We say that the warning of President R'ggs is timely and must be heeded. Either football must go or there must be rules promulgated and enforced which will keep the game whpre it belongs. An^ ffce trouble is not alone with "01<?<Tes. The hi^h schools are well tra'ned teams am-rcct the students who attend these ^ch^gta. Last week there was a Tnoo^YTr of high school men at Anwas >,v t^e nr0per a"th^r't;P9 that one high school in c+nfo hsd a man on i+s tpam who w - '-"''"-'hie. The snnerintendent 0' an in another citv and th? n?o~??"f the team in another cifv p? ' ? d *he evidence a^d filed the f ?on wh:ch the high school jj. ..i - ?'n,i Tf these n^3C',?- an-1 tion why could not the superintendent of the school attended by this student obtain the same information? He could perhaps if he had investigated as he should. There are charges of irregularities in other high schools. At the same meeting serious question was made as to the | eligibility of players on other teams, j The evidence adduced and the charges made, before and ^fter lead, jis to believe that the high school authorities, are either unable to keep track of the situation, or are willing {to stretch the rules until they are : vu ugn w.. We do not believe that the modern football coach is a proper man to have charge of a large collection of college or high school boys. In Abbeville we have a fine high school jteam, and a good coach, a young 1 man of the highest character and ^standing. There is no complaint ;(made against him. We think he has done much for the boys of our high school. But the good he has done f^r ' the boys in this high schoo' has been fndone by other coaches for other i'high schools. Only a little while ago there was a football team from another high school here in charge of its coach. The coach (a hired coach 1 we believe) had thought, as did his team, that the game would be won without difficulty. When it was not the conduct and conversation of the coach would have seemed entirely represhensible by the average present. Perhaps his understudies thought as much of him as a leader as do the Abbeville boys of their coach. If so, it may easily be seen that much harm may come from their association. Other reasons than this one suggest that football plavjers, on the college teams and on the :high school teams, do not always come in contact with the proper injfluences. GOVERNOR ENDORSES TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION Governor-Elect Thomas G. Mc, Leod highly endorses the work bun? done by the South Carolina Tuber, culosis Association to elim'nate tu berculosis from South Carolina. In a recent letter received by th:s organization from the governor-elect, ]he says: "I take pleasure in expressing my very deep interest in the work of the South Carolina Tuberculosis As sociation. There are few who have not suffered the loss of fr'end or relative as victims of the great white j plague. The methods of prevention as advocated by the Association will be a blessing not only to this generation, but to generations to come. The relief now offered the sufferers and the hope of life and usefulness extended to them through the aid of this Association, should commend it 'to the mind and heart of every citizen." The annual sale of Christmas seals begins December 1st and continues until Christmas. Every seal bought is one step nearer the goal and sharp ens the weapon used in the fight against this dread disease.
