Just slip of an play.
But those days are gone
What sweet memories
Of the goold old days
When I was free.

COMMERCIALISM
If uu should ask. w iukIi of .n college athletic team
w h it tlu purpose of college athletics w.ts he would probably
tell ou that the real purpose of athletics is to instill good
clean merican character in the copetitors. That college
sports exist to train the contestants in ijood sportsmanship to
' . i . .1 i i. . . i.. -... i:r .
take and gne and to respect tne mgnes-t aiues in me.
We would not in the least doubt the sincerity of the coach
who gies this definition. 1 lowecr should we further ask
the coach to specif) the evict degree to which he thinks he has
instilled these principles in his charges a truthful answer
would probahh involve at the least a doubtful shake of the
head.
What is the matter with college sports: Where have we
missed the boat: The answer can be given in one word
COMMkKCI U.I.S.M.
It is a s.id but true fact that most merican colleges depend
upon the money brought in through the arums sports activi-
ties as the greater means of support for the colleges.
No doubt the college administrators will violently disagree
with tsese statements. Then let them answer this question.
What happens to the coach who does not produce a winning
teanr I le stavs for a season or two then he "resigns" and
sinks into the limbo with other coaches who are now teaching
some other subject.
Delving deeper into the subject we might ask why the
brightest high school stars are sought out and given as attrac-
tive an offer as possible. The answer: The colleges wan good
plavers. nd win do they want good players to produce
a winning team which will draw larger crowds which means
more money for the college.
In other words it all boils down to this. The commercial-
i.ation has forced a greater emphasis on winning a contest
than on the wa it is plaved.
With this emphasis on winning the high ideals mentionfll
above are almost forgotten. Let's take the hvputhentical
case of John Doe an outstanding plaver on a high school foot-
ball team. In his senior vear John is approached by college
officials and is offered his room board and tuition if he will
come to dear old Sandlot College next year.
So John Doe goes to the college. Hut something happens.
Competition is stiff and he can't make the team. At the end
of the vear John is quietly but firmbly told that if he comes
back to dear old Sandlot next vear he will have to pay his tui-
tion room and board.
'I he fact that John Doe plays a clean game is a good sport
and might be helped to grow into a fine fair American man
never enters the picture. No it is "Sorry John but if you
can't hold clown that end position we can't use you."
This then is what collegiate sports has come it. If it were
professional sports it would be understandable for their aims
are clear to all.
Where does the blame iter NoNt on the coaches surely
for they are subject to the pressure of their superiors and must
either produce a winning team or leave.
The college Administration: Perhaps. They have defi-
nite obligations to the students who pay them for certain val-
ues to be received.
Still a greater portion of the blame is ours as students and
spectators. We also want to see a winning team. We too
have lost sight of the real purpose of college athletics.
What can we do to alter the situation? We can forget the
mistaken idea that it is a disgrace to lose. We can keep our
school spirit and loyalty and still say with complete honesty
whether we win or lose that it is the way the game is played
that really matters.

fer the discomfort of performing these
necessary essentials with cold water.
From 4 to 8 p. in. is the most popular
time to shave and shower with the
hoys in the dormitory hut during that
tune it has become almost impossible to
have hot water.
'I he recent cold weather has forced
dormitory boys to shower and shave
with bitterly cold water and as a re-
sult of this there have been many colds
reported among the boys. This situa-
tion is actually unhealthy for the boys
yet no one can refuse to discontinue
bathing in spite of the freezing cold
water.
'Fhe explanation given for the lack
of water in the dormitory is that the
athletes in the gym use all the water
before the proper time for bathing hut
in my students have wondered why it
would not be possible to provide
enough hot water heaters to fill the
needs of both the gym and dormitory.
This is a vital problem to the lxiys
living in the dormitory and it is one
that should receive immediate atten-
tion from school officials More hot
water is viinlh needed in the boys'
dormitory.

Student Opinion
WAITING FOR WATER
THAT NEVER GETS
HOT ICE PICK NEEDED
After several months of waiting for
something to be done about the hot
water situation in the boys' dormi-
tory the time has come in the opinion
of many of the boys living in the dor-
mitory for something to be done. As
was the general idea the first place
for this condition to be made public
was in the Yellow Jacket. As a re-
sult your roving reporter has asked
approximately fifteen boys what they
think about the hot water situation in
the dormitory. The comments listed
below are what they think about the
problem.
Your roving reporter chose this
(piestion because he felt that this is
a problem that should be brought to
the attention of the entire student
body. It w ill be well to point out that
the fifteen students interviewed ex-
pressed their firm dislike of the condi-
tions which now prevail. Without an
exception all of the boys interviewed
showed that even though this is not a
majority of the boys living in the dor-
mitory the problem is one that needs
immediate attention from responsible
sources. Some of the comments re-
ceived are listed below.
Guy Ford "I don't like it because
we never do get hot water when we
want it."
Eugene Curler "It could be a lot
better."
Gus HayvortU"l think it is lousy.
