WiddifieldWhoWas chymist, fiddler, statesman and buf¬foon;In the course of one revolinng moonThen all for women, painting, rhyming,drinking.Besides ten thousand freaks that died inthinking.Which are some of the gifts andtalents attributed to the Zimri, andhave been recently accredited to Mr.Kit Carson, the happy warrior of theold west, who was a gifted liar, agentleman, and a poker player of nomean merit. He was a man who,when the kiss of Caiaphas was aboutto be placed upon his brow, and theGrim Reaper stood impatiently atthe doorway, could say with impun¬ity, “I have lived.” No words ofwisdom, no ambitions for him. OfMr. Thomas’ four fundamental wish¬es, the desire for new experience wasin him tantamount. Here we have allthe conventional traditionalism ofwhat we are wont to call, the realAmerican. Kentucky born but Mis¬souri raised young Kit became a sad¬dler’s prentice, but hearing the talesof trappers and hunters, he burnedto know adventure. So he ran awayand actually did all the things thestandard model pioneering son-of-a-gun is supposed to do.So if we were drawing a portraitof the Real American we would puta portion of Mr. Carson into .heman. Then we would measure out asome of Mr. P. T. Barnum, put in afew drops of Edgar Guest, seek theessence of Rev. Billy Sunday, grafton a few brain cells of the SinclairLewis variety and inject this frank-enstein with a bit of Anthony Com¬stock. Then, I think, we would havean animal that might be the typicalAmerican, doubtless the only typicajAmerican that ever lived. But Ishould hope that the shade.s of Mr.Kit Carson would predominate in thisrara avis, for although he may notbe “typical” he is the “legendary”American in his best form. (Formore information about the happywarrior of Bent’s fort, I would sug¬gest Stanley Vestal’s biography,Houghton Mifflin).But long after folks are seeking tofind a typical specimen of the Amer¬ican* race they will be speaking of“Americanism.” We can hear theterm coming up over the hill like alumber wagon. The English are al¬ready pitching the term about muchin the manner of children with a toyballoon. They don’t define it, theydon’t label any specific thing with it.They just use it to indicate someforeign condition of a semi-mythol-ogical mind which should, to be safe,receive the psychotheraphic treat¬ment of a puberty expert. If onewants to hear Americanism talkedabout with familiarity he should geta copy of “Contemporary AmericanAuthors” by J. C. Squire and Associ¬ated critics of “The London Mer¬cury.” Of course one can never saythat Dr. Squire and his compatriotsare not always polite, but, aside fromWPr. J. B. Priestley, they seem tolook upon the excretion of any liter¬ature from these shores las a wierdphenomenon. They refer to MissWilla Cather, “as, in fact, that rarebird, an autochthonous Americanauthor,” and pause to eplain that“the easiest way to be an autoch¬thonous American author is to beborn in Virginia and translated at anearly impressionable age to the im¬mense, astonishingly fecund Nebraskaprairies, where Pole and German.Slav and Czech and Anglo-Saxon,with thjir varied and conflicting cus¬toms and traditions, are being slow¬ly merged into an indigenous whole,where ‘East’ means Chicago and NewYork is as remote as New SouthWales.” That, in some fifty or sixtywords, is the Englishman’s view ofthese, our happy United States.According to there Godly men of“The London Mercury’ 'Mr. Robin-(Continued on page 2) DRAMATIC STARSAPPEAR AT MEETON AL^NIDAYPlan Special Issueof The DailyMaroonBlackfriar and dramatic stars offormer years will revive the hits oftheir shows for the Intramural car¬nival and Alumni Day to be held Sat¬urday.

His entertainment, describ¬ed by The Detroit News as “brilliant,sympathetic, and authoritative,” con¬sists oi his explaining the origin ofthe .songs made and sung by theAmerican soldiers in France, singingthem, and playing them on the piano.According to Lieutenant Niles, thesongs are not those which, like“Tipperary,” were merely popularwith the soldiers, but are songs madeby the soldiers themselves and, hence,reflect their psychologies and re¬actions as no other medium can.Student Art Exhibit Shows WorkOn Color, Designing, arid Sculpture C.

As forthe athlete himself, if a comparison was made between his gradesduring the season and out, it would be found that in the m)ajorityof cases he received higher grades during the season, paradoxicalas it may seem. And this is not because the instructors havegenerously obliged in keeping the athlete eligible, but becausehe has an incentive to get higher grades. But we will not repeatthe shop-worn arguments for. football.College would be a drab place indeed were it not for such al¬lurements as football, extra-curricular activities, and social func¬tion. President Wilkins states that the college is “playing to de¬feat all the forces of weakness, of ignorance, of inefficiency, ofselfishness, and of dishonesty which beset the American nation.”We wonder if President Wilkins ever stopped to think how manystudents are attracted to college by such enticements as the mod¬ern game of football—all of them convertible to THE CAUSE!

VERY REASONABLE.TELEPHONE SOUTH SHORE a»$9FOOTBALL REFORMOne of the most interesting essays in a book entitled “TheChanging College” and written by Ernest Hatch Wilkins, Presi¬dent of Oberlin College and former Dean of the Colleges here, isthe one on intercollegiate football. In the essay, one of nine ana-lying the college of today and its problems, President Wilkinspoints out the case against football, at least in its present popu¬lar state, and suggests remedies. President Wilkins’ essay isfor the most part old stuff, and not nearly so sound as his otherarticles in the small volume which recently found its way to thebooksellers’ shelves.Over excitement about football with its tendency to detractfrom study and “the distortion in the student mind of the normalscale of values of college work and of life” President Wilkins es¬pecially believes to interfere “to an intolerable degree with theattainment of the purpose of the American college.”President Wilkins says that any remedy which is to be effec¬tive must correct the two causes of over-excitement which hegives as the lust for victory and the glare of publicity. Five plans—the one-year plan, the two-year plan, the four-game plan, theclass-team plan, the double-team plan—have been proposed Presi¬dent Wilkins says, but all of them outside of the one-year plan,he maintains, would only alleviate the present situation and notthoroughly cure it. The one-year plan, which limits a person toone season of competition, is the one which President Wilkinsthinks would be the Great Healer.This plan alone he thinks w’ould serve to correct the twounderlying causes of over-excitement .“For the annual shift inplaying personnel would make constant expectation of a winningteam impossible, and would do away very largely with excessiveindividual publicity—since such publicity is almost entirely con¬cerned with players who are in their second or third year of per¬formance.” President Wilkins assumes that students becomeexcited only over a team which wins year in and year out. Onthe contrary, it is when the team’s chances for victory are mostproblemmatical that the student becomes excited; that is thesport, and if “the annual shift in playing personnel would makeconstant expectation of a winning team impossible” PresidentWilkins’ plan would give an added spur to student over-excite¬ment, And neither would the plan do away with individual pub¬licity. The cases of publicity being accorded players in their firstyear of performance are by no means rare. Grange and Ooster-baan were not altogether neglected by the newspapers when theybegan their collegiate grid careers; and the names of Welch andMendenhall, Big Ten sophomore players, were incorporated intomany a headline last fall. With only one-year players competingthe newspapers would of necessity concentrate their publicityon the one-year players; for the public demands daily informa¬tion about the greatest of intercollegiate sports.But why all this agitation for the reform of football? Theexcitement during the six weeks of the autumn season is not near¬ly so high as depicted. Only during the day of the game doesfootball cut any inroads on our studying and how much studyingis there done on Saturdays anyway.
