athletics in he pauw ON A HIGH FOOTING

(Following is an article regarding UePauw Athletics, written by Blaine Patton, sporting editor of the Indianapolis Star.) I n an athletic way D«Pau w univer. sity is hitting it on all four of its sports cylinders. A survey of condi. tions shows that there is harmony in the co-ordinating parts; a good driver at the wheel; an excellent system and policy i n operation, an^ lastly but in no sense a minor cog is the machinery of efficiency, a strong an^ influential athletic board of control composed of alumni of the Methodist institution working in splendid co.operation with the department of physical education. As for this board it is th e dynamo from which the energy first emanated starting the current in the right dir. ection and which today has illuminated the campus of the Greencastle school to such an extent that it stands out as one of the shining households of Hoosierdom’s athletic family with a highly successful record There is no getting away from the fact that the alumni of any school like to see their alumni mater in athletics, and it is a well known fact that the high school graduate in selecting the place where he ex. pects to further his education is in. fluenced strongly by the institution making a creditable showing in its major sports This is so regardless of whether or not the individual is an athlete. There is a little feeling of pride that every under-graduate as. sumes as a personal ownership, when he knows that his school has~”tumed out an unusually good varsity in acme branch of sport i Go Hand in Hand Good, clean athletics go han^ in hand with youth and enthusiasm^ When back home on his vacation, the college man feels mighty good when he can name his colors without an apology. The same is true of the alumni. The athletic board of control of De. Pauw is founded o n an ideal system with check and counter check. In case of a vacancy the board nominal, es the president of the university ap proves and election is necsesary ♦hrough the board of trustees. The V-ard is made up of nine members drawn from the alumni with the director of athletics of the school serving as an ex.oflficio member. Probably no institution in Indiana has a better equipped board of alumni “live wires” than the one which re. presents the Tigers. On this board are men in high stations of life and yet men who have enough interest in the athletic success of their old school knowing as they do its importance for future growth to donate their valuable time and energy to make its operative strength real instead of having the board a mere figurehead with a title They are filled with what is commonly called “school spirit.” Compoi-ition of Board The present board is made up of the following members: Guernsey Van Riper, president; S. K Ruick, secretary; C. W. Jewett, F. M. McWhirter, H. Foster Clippinger, Jay Carpenter R. A. Shirley, F C Tucker, J r! Raub aruj E. C. Buss. This committee not fully satisfied with the present high rating of the school in athletic firmament, has set upon plans for greater successes. It has taken the responsibility for raising funds to get the best man in the country to coach and this action meets with the hearty school. The first result will be the naming of an A No. 1 football coach Mr. Buss is serving his fifth year at DePauw and has had remarkable success as an athletic director of the institution. He started with prac. tically no equipment and with only fair material to-work upon in the de. velopement of this talent. With the growth of the phyeical education deparment. the supervision of all sched. ule making and the coaching of both football and basketball varsities the Old Gold and Black mentor has been kept on the run. The board of con. tro] at a recent meeting decided upon getting a high class football coach for the school for the coming season an d his action meets with the hearty approval of Mr. Buss. The addition of a football coach to his staff which includes L. C Bucheit assistant athletic director who handles both the tracks and baseball teams and Stanley E. Joseph as phy. aical director will surround Buss with an excellent corps and no doubt work for the general betterment of the institutions athletics Mr. Buss is a har ( j worker and few directors have had the preliminary training for the duties he has been called upon to perform while serving in Greencastle Training is Compulsory In the opinion of the writer, one of the most commendable features of physical training put into effect byMr. Buss is the compulsory training which is "compulsory” in name as well as in title. Physical defects are

not excuses under the DePauw system. If a student has ailments which prevent attending the regular classes, he or she is placed in a cor. reotive class which includes those who lack physical coordination have flat feet, etc. Coach Buss is a strong advocate of keeping hi g “off season” athletes busy at some other time of activity If a football player, he is placed in the wrestling or swimming classes or perhaps the boxing classes. Incidentally, the one sport athlete is not ex. eused from physical training during his off season. AH students upon en. tering the institution are given a rigid physical examination. A feature that should not be overlooked in the survey of policies em_ ployed at DePauw is that regarding scholarship Although not a member of any league or college conference, the eligibility rules of a high stan. dard are strictly enforced In some respects, regarding scholastic classroom standing, the rules are more severe than those of a number of the rival schools which are met annually aperhapnf ableugealrs esahenbsioaPa The so called “flunk” in any sub. ject disqualifies the athlete from par. ticipating in any branch of sport the following semester. A condition in a subject must be removed before the man is eligible and a strict enforcement of the one year resident rule is in force with the exception of the case of the freshmen who are allowed to compete on varsities. Summed up athletics at DePauw are in a clean, wholesome, healthy condition The school is fortunate in having a loyal active alumni force, working in co.operation with a keen alert director who knows his job well

Ten years ago harvest-time labor was paid $1.82 and at other than harvest time was paid $1.13 and non-harvest-tlme labor 81 cents a day. California and Nevada farmers paid their labor the highest prices without board, the average In those states last year having been $107 a month. The lowest average was in Mississippi, where $41 was paid. The average for the country as a whole was $46.95; the northern Atlantic states averaged $75.54, the south Atlantic $50.56, the northeast central states $70.00, the northwest central states $79.79, the south central states $51.94 and the far western states $99.43.

FLAGS TRAIN, AVERTS WRECK Unidentified Hero Disappears After Saving Fast Train From Being Thrown In Ditch. Casper, Wyo.—Westbound Chicago, Burlington & Quincy train No. 30 was narrowly saved from a serious wreck by an unidentified man who flagged the train as it was apwachlng a part of the track a few miles east of here that had been torn up. The train was traveling fifty miles an hour at the time and railroad officials said that the train would have been ditched completely had It struck the torn-up track. Who was responsible for the attempted wrecking of the Burlington train Is still a complete mystery, according to police and railroad officials. It was thought possible that the person who flagged the train was originally one of the party intending to wreck It, for when the train stopped and its crew made an investigation no one could be found. The spikes had been pulled out of the ties and the rails tom up completely for nearly 100 feet, only four miles from Casper.

“NO POCKETS” AID TO THEFT Tacoma Probation Officer Saya Boys 1 Steal From Women, Rarely From Men. Vaooma, Wash.—Because women‘s clothing is not provided with pockety stealing Is Increasing among the Juvenile population. In the opinion of R. S. Healy, county probation officer. Having no place In which to stow away her money and valuables the average woman flaunts them In the faces of youths too weak to resist, and careers of crime are started, he says. Mr. Healy reports that almost every day complaints are mode of tioys stealing n:<my from women, but that very rarely does a boy steal from a man.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 12 — “Wanted—a man—thi s is the great, est need of the world, the one solu. tion to all problems confronting not only this nation, but the entire world All the problems an«j questions of dire importance today as well as those recorded in the annals of ancient and medieval history are ultimately sim. mered down to the one need for solu. tion—wanted, men and women thoroughly equipped to stand in the gaps

an^ load.”

This is the message give n by Prof. Harry B Gough, of DePauw Univer. sity to the teachers in the public schools of Vigo county at their reg. ular monthly institute meeting held at the Normal training school Saturday. The message was not only for the teachers, according to Prof. Gough, but also for them to carry to the s'u. dents—with whom rests the salva.

tion of this country

Prof. Gough named and described in detail some of the great problems that had confronted various countries in the past and told which of those had been solved because the man or woman had bee n found and other in. stances where entire countries had been destroyed because of the lack of that one thing—a man. The impressive and inspirational address by Prof Gough came as the climax of a n interesting opening gen eral assembly of the teachers in the morning after which the teachers divided into high school intermediate and primary sections and took up their

regular program.

bodies, bankers, industry, business and law abiding citizens generally. In Indiana, as in states where the state police plan is working, formal . endorsement of the state police sys1 tern has been given in most vigorous and positive form by many organiza. tions representative of all elements of

orderly society.

The bill. Senate Bill No 164 now be fore the Indiana legislature, providing for the creation of a state police force to consist of two troops equipped ade. quately for rapid movement from point to point as needed, takes into account of the vital needs voiced by the representative organizations in heir demand for law and order, for protection and for an efficient public agency for the prevention of crime waves such as that of recent months Pennsylvania has had a state pol. ice for the last sixteen years or more. That body of highly trained and effic. ient men has received several votes of confidence from the people’s legislaure of Pennsylvania, Twice the size the state police force of that state has been increased and three times has the legislature increased the pay of the men o n the force. Its powers and jurisdiction have been extended by law as a still further evidence of the implicit confidence reposed in the corps as an agency for law and order and for the protection of all com.

RESIGNATION TO

VOID LICENSES

INDIANA STATE CAPITOL, Feb 11,—Teachers in the employ of public school systems who cancel their con. tracts before the time for which they signed has elapsed may have their licenses canceled at the request of the board employing them, according to provisions of a bill which was intro, duced into the House of Representa. lives Saturday shortly before adjournment. The provisions embodied in the bill, however do not include teacherg who are compelled to leave through sick, ness or ill health. The bill is intend, ed to prevent teachers employed for an entire term from resigning when they are dissatisfied with their posi. tions or other reasons. According to the sponsors of the bill, such partial, ity expired contracts are difficult to fill and ofter compel pupils to lose considerable tim£. Public Hearing Probable The bill probably will be the sub. ject of a public hearing within a week Persons who have been convicted of any crimes against the United States government, who evaded the draft during th e last war or who have been convicted of conspiring to defraud the government will not be al. lowed to hold office either by appoint, ment or election if a bill introduced today by Representative Tucker be. comes a law. Representative Osborne introduced a bill this afternoon which would com pel county recorders to issue receipts for automobile license applications The hill is intended to prevent per. sons who have purchased cars from the danger of arrest when driving the machines before the license plates have arrived.

NEED FOR STATE POLICE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. 7.— Indiana ha s suffered along with other states because of a wave of intensified and highly organized crime. System, atic raids on rural communities have been made by motorized gangs with almost perfect impunity Because these rural sections have been unpro. teeted bandits have been able to get away with large hauls of swag, striking from night to night at points far distant one from the other and ever evading efforts made by local officers to pursue and capture the outlaws. The situation has forced a realiaa. tion of the fact that outlawry is organize^ and equipped in a modern way to carry on its infamous traffic in loot, Society has failed to guard against the raiders Hence a call for a State Police in Indiana—a call indistinctly made by farmer’s organizations, commercial

munities and all elements of societ* There was a time when th e net cj the Pennsylvania State police villified by certain noisy agitato,, who engaged in the business of i nci . ing while at the same time attack n# the agents of order and justice, jv enemies of the state police have beet effectually silenced and the “Cossack’ cry is now confine^ to the I w ^ group of red radicals and foes of government. Services rendered to organized labor at th e request of organized labor just as these services tf, needed have made the state police of Pennsylvania just as popular and u highly esteemed in the Wyoming ley as elsewhere in the Keystone coa. monwealth. When I. W W. rioters in tt ( Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania usailed the United Mine Workers of America, as they also assailed tj rendered to all other element* ^ orderly citizens in defiance of law, tl* state police went bravely to the rot. cue and performed prodigies of ser vice on behalf of justice. The restf; has been that legislators from -.k, 'Wyoming Valley, formerly unatjmously hostile .have become five oa of eight, strongly i n favor of enlarg. ing and supporting the state polin This is the logic of the creed, tice for all”, a creed adequately «• forced by the state police.
