BASEBALL MAY GO AS COLLEGE SPORT
TOO MUCH PROFESSIONAL.
ISM, SAYS PROF. McCLUNG.
In Future, Candidates for Teams Will Be Required to Prove Their Eligibility.
“If the students of the University of Kansas wish to have baseball retained as one of the sports of the institution, it is up to them to see that no ineligible player is placed on the team; to encourage a spirit that will prevent ineligible men from trying out for the team, instead of helping by a 'conspiracy of silence,' to keep from the eligibility committee the knowledge that he is ineligible.”
Such in effect was the ultimatum delivered to the student body by Prof. C.E.MeClung in his talk on athletics at the college "sing" last night.
Professor McClung reviewed the attitude of the athletic boards in the Missouri valley toward baseball. It came as a surprise to the new students in the audience that the conference which met at Des Moines last spring came very near prohibiting the game outright. "A strong plea was made for another year's trial, which the conference finally decided to grant," said Professor McClung, "but baseball will quickly be abolished as an intercollegiate sport unless professionalism is avoided. Students, take it upon yourselves to see that all representatives on athletic teams are in good amateur standing.
"The hired player system is responsible for the present deplorable condition of college athletics," declared Professor McClung "And that system is based upon an error. Coaches will tell you that they can turn out better teams with all bona fide student players than under the old system.
"The taint of professionalism, however distant, is what ails athletics in colleges. The athletic board can no longer assume that all representatives on teams are eligible until they are proved otherwise. They must prove themselves eligible. The student body should foster a spirit that will prevent ineligible players from presenting themselves as candidates for teams."
Professor McClung devoted a part of his talk to the agitation which came very near resulting in the abolition of football last spring, and closed with an appeal to students to do all in their power to get conditions right and keep them right, in the University of Kansas.

PROF. MILLER WRITES.
Veteran of Faculty Now at Pasadena, Cal.
Professor E. Miller, who last year was retired from active service in at Pasadena, Cal. In a recent letter to Registrar Geo. O. Foster, Professor Miller says:
"They talk a great deal about the educational , institutions of California, but they are not a whit better than they are in Kansas, except in one respect, i. e., salaries. They do beat Kansas in that respect."
"During the first ten days of September, a most notable association of men met on Mt. Wilson, the place where the great observatory for solar research is located, under the auspices of the Carnegie Institute at Washington, D.C. Nearly one hundred of the most eminent astronomers of the world were here and they were a fine body of men. Fourteen nationalities were represented, and it was most amusing as well as instructive to hear Germans, Italians, Frenchmen, Spaniards, Hollanders, Englishmen, Russians, and others, trying to speak English. By close attention I could understand fairly well what each speaker was working hard to put into English. Many astrononical terms are much alike in these various languages.
"I spent two nights observing with the big reflecting telescope, an instrument of sixty inches. It was a wonderful revelation to me."
WILL DISCUSS ENGLISH
Subject to Receive Attention at Teachers' Association.
Dr. Frank Strong, who is president of the State Teachers' Association, is desirous that more time and attention be given to the English round table of that organization. At the next assembly to be held in Topeka, beginning October 21, Prof. F. N. Scott of the University of Michigan will address the English round table on the subject of "English Composition Teaching." Professor Scott is widely known for his literary work and is prominent both as an author and educator.
Other members on the program are Prof. E. M. Hopkins of the University of Kansas, Supt. L. A. Loewther of Emporia, an alumnus, and Miss Edna Williams of Ottawa, a former student of the College.
On his way to Topeka Professor Scott will visit the University and speak to the students in chapel, Friday October 21. While in Lawrence he will be the guest of Professors E. M. Hopkins and C. G. Dunlap.
By the will of Congressman Charles Q. Tirrell of Massachusetts, who died last July, Dartmouth College is to receive $1,000 for a scholarship to be known as the Tirrell athletic scholarship, and to be used in the development of athletics at Dartmouth. In making this bequest Mr. Tirrell says in the will: "I believe that a healthful physical development is as essential to success in life as good scholarship. In making this gift it is because I believe that every loyal Dartmouth son should endeavor to do something in grateful memory for the benefits his alma mater has bestowed upon him

Parlor Football.
An English inventor has devised a parlor football game that retains much of the interest of the game as played on the gridiron.
---
It consists of a table on which a miniature football field is laid out. Goal posts are placed at each end and the football is an ordinary tennis ball. The game is called hurricane football, and each player has a length of nozzled hose attached to a bellows which he works with his foot. Each side strives to drive the ball through its opponent's goal by means of the air blasts and the success or failure of one side to score is determined to some extent by that side's ability or strength to pump the bellows. This is the one type of football game in which danger is eliminated.—Popular Mechanics.
