" PLEA FOR CLEAN ATHLETICS Gentlemen: e - Your issue of August 6th carried a copy of a letter addressed to the Athletic Board of DePauw University, in which severe and unwarranted criticism was made of college athletics. The writer of that letter, though willing enough to vilify his Alma Mater, evidently lost courage when it cane to signing his name. Had | read this article in a newspaper from any othir source than Ligonier, my old home town, 1 would simply have smiled, feit sorry for the lonesome author and'! quickly have forgotten it. But the letter is so unfair, s 0 unjust and so un.called for, that I do not want my many Ligonier friends to accept it without a protest from me. ‘ " 1 spent four happy and profitable years in DePauw Universify during which period | gave of my time and strength as best 1 could to collegs athletics. I did not then suppose thut because 1 was interested in college athletics, 1 would later be accused of being “weak in the head,” as indieated by the lonesomeé man from:. Ligonfer During -one- year of my college lle, there were nine out of eleven members af the DePanw football team working their way through coliege. They were far from being “weak in the head” but instead were real men honest, upright. Christian gentlemen, if you please standing at the head of their classes as well as earning a place on the team. L s . ,

JAny criticism directed at the plans and policies of the DePauw Athletic Board is of course a criticism of the University itself. DePauw, like any other eollege or university of good standing vision or resources, has a department of Tthletics which it-fos-ters in greater or less degree. It happens that the University has found it wise to place the action of directing athletics-in the hands of an Alumni Board. DePauw supports this board morally and financially. -It happens that the Alumni supports this Board too. Therefore, it is with the University the Board of Trusfees and the Alumni Association that this lonessome writer from Ligonier has his quarrel. DePauw University with all its. fige, able and eminent men who direct.it, may be entirely wrong in supporting andfostering athletics and the one lonesomé individual at Ligonier mav be right but most peeple would doubt it. It may be that all the colleges in the United States are wrong in their present - attitude toward athletics. It may be that the Olympic games just completed and the honors which came to America, did not represent a clean

healthy and sane point of view toward life and preparation for it. This would undoubtedly be the view of the lonesome person in Ligonier. ' Take ‘as an example, one specific Teply to the Athletic letter objected to by this man. Dr. H. A. Gobin, DePauw’s grand old man, wrote personal ly to the Athletic Board of this interest in athletic activities and indicated his desire to receive the Athletic News Letter regularly and he is in Greencastle and in the very heart of college activities. It is possible that Dr. Gobin is wrong and this lonesome man in Ligonier is right—but you never could make anybody believe it. If this man weére more amenable to reason, I should refer him to probably the most intellectual of all nations, the Greeks and prove to him that athleticism, and ecompetitive athleticism at that, had its most perfect flower in this highly intellectual nation and that their greatest achievements in art and literature were contemporaneous with their greatest achievements in athletics: not that 1 would like to prove that the oné was dependent on the other but to use tae phrase of the writer, “the critter wiih long legs and no surplus weight above the neck,” was the outgrowth of the same tendency and inspiration . that produced the Parthenon, the discus thrower, and in literature the Illiad. Not only did the great poets, artists ‘and philosophers tolerate these competitive games but they praised them in the friezes of their great temples in them friezes of their great temples |and ‘set up statues in honor of the [victors. The big point of this is pro‘bably that those very nations that 'were greatest intellectually were exactly those who thought most of and accomplished most for athletics and gymnastics. - But to come down to our modern life and its needs, the writer of the letter seems to know just as little of the contemporanéous as of the ancient. What would he do with five hundred red-blooded, young men under his guidance and direction with an fustinet to play as powerful as any of their other instincts? How would he !.ml in the time between the long hours of work? From his letter he would say, “study,” but if he is a father cr [hu any experience with young men, he must know that young people can‘no,t devote all their time to stady. 1 grant very readily that this tendency for play may be, and in some instances ris, grossly abused-—so is nearly every other good thing that we have. One ‘t[t!dnx we hope from athleties is that it ,makes. men true sportsmer, nnwilling to take a dishoncrable advantage or do a dishonest thing. Is it an honest thing to make such charges against Athletics without some very definitc Lgroana for same? I do mot believe that even the lonesome gntlemen from Ligonier thinks that it is. =~ ~ As to the insult which he gave to ‘the young men who are taking part in these games and contests, I am oniy sorry that it is not possible to publish the scholarship records and compare them with the scholarship of the record of scholarship most assuredly cannot surpass the records of some of '~ We have had in the past few years ‘what I believe to be the best argument awmmwm It | W*@W V*‘?’* - MAW’;%%&” . ‘:*.‘\' 1.;?1» A o S e L R S R S e S« g s IR e e
