Of the 33 men whowere selected for the three elevens,only five represent the West. Therecan be no doubt that Camp tries to·be fair in his selection, and yet it isnatural that sectional prejudices, per­haps unconsciously, exhibits itself.Camp has little opportunity to watchthe work of the men who play in theWest. Seldom does he witness an im­portant contest which migh give himan idea of the real and" not reportedabilities of Western players.

I n The Chi­cago Examiner andThe Chicago Tribune�he � Cluband the Press articles appearingyesterday morning,purporting to be reports of the ThreeQuarters club initiation Tuesdaynight represent gross and artless jug­gling of the facts.The Tribune article makes much ofthe fact that the Three Quarters menwere ousted from the Del Prado andthe Blackstone hotels. Neither ofthesehotels were visited. Instead thement went to the LaSalle, the GreatNorthern, the Stratford. and others,in all of which places they were en­thusiastically received. In no case didthey go above the first floor. Thearticle has it that they climbed towardthe top floor of the Blackstone untilthey were booted out by the "men­ials,."The article begins with a statementto the effect that the prohibition ofthe faculty was lifted, but that the4'stern injunction" was violated. No�rohibition or injunction have exist­ed. and the agitation on the part ofthe faculty for better management ofthe club bas been lived up to.It is interesting to note that therewere 38, not 44 candidates, that theystarted out with the intentions of hav­ing the initiations down town and didnot conceive of the scheme after itwas found "that the south side wastoo small." They alighted from theIllinois Central train at Randolphstreet and not at Van Buren. Theywere not urged by the conductor norordered to "beat it" by the Michiganavenue policemen.We do not attempt to belittle thereputations of either of these citypapers. The misstatements are un­doubtedly the faults of the .stud�ntrr porters who seem to have h�tle in­terest in the facts of the stones re­ported. In view of the rece�t agita­tion against the less pleasing ele­ments of the Three Quarters clubsuch articles are doubt,. open to at­tack and their authors liable to criti­cism as working against the best in­terests of Chicago. .

'namely, allowing the man at­tempting to block the kick to run intothe kicker after he had gotten thebalt a way and ,allowing pushing andpulling, chiefly pushing of the runnerafter he had reached' the line. If menin the back field follow the runnerinto the line he endeavors to gothrough. srine times out of ten theymust. even if they keep their handsoff him, eventually push him, for he isstopped when they are still runningforward and they go against him.There was also too .much interfer­ence in. the neutral zone on forwardpassing. It was rather strange thatthe officials' seemed �o be more in":tent upon this in the case of a kickthan in the case of a forward pass,for the man receiving the pass is veryapt to he bumped, erot hard, but sim­ply by a man putting himself in hisway, and it was seldom called ,by theofficials. . All these. matters improvedsomewhat" toward the end of the' s�a­son. but need considerable emphasisyet.The forward pass has taken no moreprominent position than of old; infact, in late games considerably less.I t has resulted in disaster on oneor two occasions in contests thatmeant a good deal. I t has not ·beenproductive of any spectacular plays.The on side kick has been, as always;a matter of luck; that is, if the ballbounds straight the defensive. sidesecures possession of it easily andthe' side on the attack has lost severalyards on the kick. That is the differ­ence between the long kick and theshort one. If, on the other hand, theball performs a freak antic and eitherjumps sidewise or hits on the end andbounds clear -over the defensive cm:an'shead. the play results in a fine gain forthe kicker's side, possibly even in atouchdown at very little expenditureof effort. But who can tell which waythe ball will bound? Surely no sci­entific study or daily practice canforecast the action of this leathersphere.Strange Things HappenCertainly there have 'been as manystrange happenings "in the footballworld as among the individual play­ers.

In other -words,in' the two greatest divisions in gen­eral football, the East and the MiddleWest, there was such a total lack ofconsistency as to bri1l'g very forciblyhome the' question ,whether qualitycan be developed under the presentmethods to an extent that may givesome reasonable assurance of success.Games were played in both these sec­tion-s, as well as the South and South­west, that would indicate there issome truth in the statement of a verysuccessful coach that if you threw �he \ball around enough you could beatanybody. . ..On being asked tc{ define his mean­ing he explaill'Cd that the chances wereso strongly against a consistent suc­cession of successful running plays-­the rules rendering praotically aU thedefense necessary-that the thing todo was to utilize as many downs aspossible in giving chances both to hisown side to secure the ball after aforward pass' and for the other sideto make errors. On the last Saturdayof the season, when everyone waswaiting to place the final stamp ofapproval or disapproval on rules,teams, and individuals, came really themost depressing and unsatisfactory re­sults-Brown was tied .by Trinity,Michigan was tied by Nebraska. Kan­sas was tied by Missouri, Yale wastied by Harvard, while the Navy, witha weaker running attack. scored afield goal on the Army. That endingconvinced a large majority that fourdowns are necessary to give a testof superiority. STEAM COIITROL Of HUMIDITYRmUCINB VALVES FOR AiR, :WATER, HOT WATER.

Speaking of the University SealAccording to a news item which ap­peared recently in a western daily,"Several seal cubs are on their wayto the University of Washington,where they will enter the zoologicaldepartment."The Worms May Tum.1 t is rumored that the newly mademembers oi the Three Quarters clubare seeking the man who wrote thearticle in yesterday's issue of TheDaily Tribune on the initiation antics.And Then Oxford and Cambridge.Various authorities have it thatChicago will probably resume or be­gin football relations next year withCornell, Yale, Princeton, Army, Navy,Michigan, and other eastern and mid­dle west teams. With the regularbig eight games on hand the playerswill probably continue their practicethrough the Christmas vacation, andthe resulting arrangements will un­doubtedly necessitate discontinuingbasketball. Mr. Stagg may also ar­range games with Oxford, Cambridge,Berlin, Toronto, and California.The First Chance We Have Had.Minnesota was tied by Wisconsinin the recent football game Becausethe Gopher players did not wear shoeswhich would enable them to play withthe greatest efficiency on the hardground. Minnesota also failed tocome in first in the cross countryrace at Iowa City because the menhad to wear common canvas 'runningshoes. Our personal opinion is thatthe Minnesota athletic departmentshould appropriate some of that $21,-658 to the purchase of proper athleticshoes.CHICAGO GRADUATE ISHONORED IN FAR WEST(Continued from page 1)education at Chautauqua, New York,as vice-president of the Inland Em­pire Teachers' Association, and aspresident of the Industrial Section ofthe National Education Association.He is now Secretary of the InlandEmpire Association and a member ofthe Executive Committee of the Reli­gious Education Association.

The playing was good, consid­ering llhe poor condition of the field,on which the game was played. Inthe first half of the game the Juniorskept the ban down in the Senior strik­ing circle most of the time but theSeniors defended their goal well, onlyletting the ball cross the goal lineonce, when Juliet Ames hit it on thefly.In the second half' of playing theSeniors braced up and kept the ballgoing down to the Junior half-backtine, from which it went down againto the Senior goal. Augusta Swawitemade two goals during this hair. Dur­ing the last five minutes of play N enHenry the Senior right wing, got theball from the Juniors, dribbled itdown the field, and passed it to EllaSpiering, who made a goal. Theball was then put in play once moreat the center and was up at the Sen­ior striking circle when the whistlefor time was sounded.Miss Gertrude Dudley, the head ofthe women's athletic department, gavea dinner in Lexington hall at 6 forthe members of the two teams andsubstitutes.
