HUFF, JR..�I Twenty years ago, . had some one prophesied that soimportant a place would belong to athletics in ourinstitutions of learning as they now enjoy, hewouldhave been considered only a dreamer and his prophecyas impossible of fulfillment.This neglect of the physical man on the part of ed­ucational institutions arose from heredity largely. Ithad been handed down as the proper thing, to let thebody go and to concentrate oJ:!: the mind. The fallacyis easy' to see, for the mind must have a house to livein fit for its use or else the best directed educationalwork largely miscarries.To-day we see a just relation gradually becomingestablished and the recognition of the fact that soundhealth and high scholarship are interchangeable terms.Under the term "Athletics,' � I include everythingdone for the physical man and my suggestions will bealong the various lines of athletic work.' First: theDirector of physical culture is the key to the situa­tion. He must be a man not only well equipped forhis work, but must have that indefinable quality gen­erally known as power over young men. He musthave power to interest them, to move freely amongthem, and yet to keep their respect all the while.Indeed,' it 'may be, said that this quality inheritedand not obtained in any school of athletic culture ispre-eminently the great thing in the management ofathletics. The largest amount of good health for thelargest number is of course the object in the athleticdepartment, andjn securing this end, the PhysicalDirector is all pow erful.His assistants in the special training of track, base­ball, and football teams must have that same quality,else, whatever their skill, it will most likely go for,naught. It is absolutely essential that they be bornleaders. As to general control over athletics, it seemsto me very plain that the department has reachedsuch a development that University Boards of Controlare absolutely essential to the proper regard for allinterests. These Boards should, I think, be made upboth of students, alumni, and faculty. In the selec­tion of these it seems to me wise to have the students. .select their own representation as well as the alumnimembers. The aim should be all the while to have the students do as much as they can with safety, andIt must be all the while remembered that interest isquickened by a general participation of all concerned.It must be generally understood and felt by the stu­dents that they have a hand. in the managementthrough their representatives or else their interestwill be sure to wane.Another matter of the greatest importance, is therigid exclusion of the professional athlete. This ex­clusion must be according to the highest standards.The reason for this is both that the professional ath­lete is a source of weakness in that he is present withno idea of study, but also that his presence is a con­stant menace to the development of new material inthe college. Men will not come out for work intrack events, or baseball, or football, when they knowthat some one has been brought there for the especialpurpose of filling the place they would like to have.As a result the end always to be sought - the largestgood of the largest number - is defeated, and instead,is substituted the shortlived glory of a few headlinesin a morning daily, in which one may read of the"famous nine" or the" invincible eleven." It is tobe feared that educational institutions the countryover, have not regarded the situation in this w,ay,but it is perfectly evident to me that this view is sureto come and that it is the only way to secure generalinterest in athletics.In all athletic matters constant attention should begiven to scholarship. A man who is not doing fairwork should not be allowed to be 011 athletic teams.This standard should be reasonable. Some good ath­letes are not good students, but they would not begood studen ts if they were not athletes. The troubleis not in the athleticism, but in the original composi­tion. They were not made for students.Still many such a man can do fairly well, and whilehe does his best should not be discouraged. I believein a fair amount of time devoted to practice, but itseems to me that in some institutions it is carried toexcess. 'Two hours a day is about what is needed forkeeping the" house" in good condition and more isprobably apt to cause harm to college work. Itshould never be said that the athletes do not stand1030 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.well in their work. When properly managed, it willnot be.Discipline in athletic teams is a necessity . NO'matter hQW good the man who breaks training rules,he should suffer fQr it. In no other way can efficiencybe secured. Men who will not regularly repO'rt forpractice and who propose to' do as they please, shouldgO'. to' the bench.It seems to' me also that there should be some timelimit as to' membership in athletic teams. I knowthat the temptation is great to' have a veteran eligibleas long as he can win, but I believe in the long runthe athleti.c interests of the college suffer. The rea­SQn is quite clear to' me and it is this, that new mate­rial can not be developed while the veteran is sure ofthe place, and while this course may win a gameto-day, .it will lose two to-morrow. My Qwn idea isthat five years is as long as any man should beallowed to' play Qn any or all college teams when heenters as a freshman, and a less time if he enters later.It is quite possible that a shorter limit is desirable. The trouble with all of us is that we are lookingfor present results, for the champion team this year,and letting the future take care of itself. It is a mat­ter of congratulation when a fine football team isturned out," a team that defeats all comers ; we mayjustly feel elated when our baseball team is champion,and when our track team carries off the honors, butstill all these should, in my judgment, be kept subor­dinate to' the steadfast purpose to' interest the largestnumber in athletics, and I am confident that such acourse consistently carried out will, in the long run,result in a far larger per cent of victories than wherestars may play throughout their entire educationalcourse.Permit me to' conclude by again affirming my .beliefthat the successful management of athletics requiresgeneralship of a high order, a firm grasp 0'11 manythings that the multitude does not see, and that powerto' handle young men that is inherited and notacquired.University 0.1 Illinois, Champaign, Ill., September, I896.THE 'VARSITY STROLLER.We were speaking about the Summer Quarter.Reference was made to' cycling, class-room work,genera11ectures and other incidental matters. NO'w,having disposed of the. entree, we are prepared to' ad­dress ourselves to' the more substantial roasts andvegetables of our summer diversions. These are, ofcourse, tennis, croquet and indoor work in the gym­nasium. NO' mention -is made of mumb1edypeg, twoold cat and politics.We have never seen a PO'Pu1ar dissertation on ten­nis. Here, therefore, is our opportunity. The firstthing, doubtless, is a bibliography, vide Webster'sDictionary, article tennis; Gasc, article, jeu de paume/Cyclopedia of Games and Sports (Henry Holt & CQ.)pp. 709 ff; Spalding's publications, We regret thatwe have not a long list of portentious foreign names.As authorities forty or fifty German names, with a fewMuscovite thrown in, usually overwhelms the averageman. The authoritativeness is in the inverse ratio ofour ability to' prQnQunce the names. Whoever heardof a professor refer to' any man as authority who hadso commonplace a name as Smith or J ones.NQw, let us take up the matter historically. Inorder to' rightly consider summer tennis at the Univer­sity we need a right perspective, thus shall we avoidthe grotesqueness of Chinese art. A question yetunsolved by historical criticism is the nature' of thegames of ball which Odysseus saw Nausicaa and hermaidens play. It is supposed by some that it wastennis and that one of the girls attempted the Law- ford stroke and lifted the ball far out of the court, andit was the search for the ball which caused the dis­covery of the Ithacan. Others maintain that thegame is Egyptian, and that the mighty potentates ofthe Nile whiled away their time building pyramids,shooting ducks and playing tennis. The evidence isfound in the pentateucha1 statement that "J osephserved in Pharaohs cQurt." Egyptology may be ex­pected in time to' find tournament cups for which theancient princes contended.Holt's cyclopedia states that tennis is probablyderived from a game introduced by Roman soldiersinto Gaul. This is uo doubt historical. TO' be sure,Caesar does not speak of tennis in his commentaries.But controversialists frequently assure us that thesilence of a writer on a given point often: proves theindisputable and universal existence of a custom.We may, therefore, suppose that the leg ions variedthe monotony of obliterating tribes and buildingbridges (see any good translation ) by getting lovesets Qn each other. The game was introduced intoEngland in the thirteenth century. Court tennis waspopular through the middle ages. At the first theball was struck with the hand, but later rackets wereintroduced. The present form of the game datesonly from 1874.An explanation of tennis terms will doubtless be ap­preciated by our younger readers. Tennis, saysone lexicographer, comes from the Latin toenis, a:band. This has reference 'nQt to a group 'Qf streetUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.musicians but to the mark or line over which the ballwas served. But other authorities say that the wordis derived from tenee, "take that." We once had analtercation with a blacksmith's son, and he employedthe above term as he imparted nigrescent hues toone of our eyes. But that was not tennis, it was themanly art of self-defense. As for scoring in tennis,the esoteric alone understand. It consists largely ina confusing use of the term "love." Co-eds, learn­ing to play, need not, therefore, say, "Oh, this is sosudden. "We may now offer some remarks on howto play.Beginners do well to wait until there is an open tour­nament. It is an excellent time to learn. If thecourt is a clay one wear brogans or wooden shoes.They will enable you to stop suddenly. If you havea racket borrow some balls. Al ways borrow balls ofyour neighbor, it helps to make him unselfish. Inserving the ball, be sure and pass your opponent; ashe must get the ball you can thereby tire him out.In receiving a ball strike hard. If you are a novice, 1031it will sometimes happen that you fight as. one thatbeateth the air.Sometimes it happens, when you are running acrossthe court presumably to return a ball, your opponentviciously places it back of you. In such cases tryand turn around in mid-air. It is a good substitutefor Delsarte, it helps to develop the diaphragmaticmuscles, as prescribed by elocution teachers, and itassists in giving spectators their money's worth.When your opponent lobs and the ball is describing abeautiful parabola over you, run furiously toward theback line, the practice in getting quickly under fullheadway may be valuable some time in a hundred­yard dash. When he passes you and the ball rollsmerrily across the quadrangle, sit down near the courtand wait until you sight a student or Professor in thedistance, then yell, "Thank you." There are manyother suggestions that might be offered, but we refrain.Learn by experience and then agree with the Strollerthat tennis is one of the most charming of outdoorgames.Mirage in Washington Park.A few days ago as I was passing with some friendsacross the speeding track at the west side of Washing­ton Park, there appeared to us a very fine mirage.It was about 1 : 30 p. m. of a bright, warm day.Some distance south of Fifty-fifth street there is avery slight rise in the track, and beyond that it sinksaway a little until it nears Sixtieth street, thus form­ing a very shallow depression. As we gazed alongthe track from Fifty-fifth street this depression ap­peared to be a placid pool of perfectly clear water.A wagon passed along Sixtieth street as we were look­ing, and was reflected as distinctly and naturally asfrom the bosom of a still lake. Then some peoplewalked across at Fifty-ninth street, and their imageswere seen with the same definiteness, the only lackin the view being that their feet did not splash thewater as the apparent conditions would lead us to ex­pect. The size of the pool varied with the angle ofvision as we stooped or stood upright, but the appear­ance of water was simply perfect.I have seen diagrams to ilustrate the mirage of thedesert, but, so far as I recollect, they always showedin the sky an inverted image of a real scene which wasbeyond the horizon, and it always seemed to me thatthe only deception to the thirsty traveler was as tothe distance of the oasis, and not as to the reali ty ofit. This phenomenon, however, illustrated the wayin which the sun's rays may give a perfect appear­ance of water on the surface of the earth where theground is entirely dry.Still further, I have seen the same appearance, onlypot so clear and vivid, twice since the day referred to,• <. • ' �� .. I. _, and probably it can be seen any day as soon as thesun is high enough while the present clear weatherlasts. At any rate it will be worth while for any whomay read this note, if they pass that way, to look forso interesting a sight. _ F. J.

A case in point was that when lastweek, a member of the baseball team played witha neighboring nine. The fact that no secrecy wasobserved does not lessen the impropriety of the ac­tion. No one who knows the player in question canunder any circumstances accuse him of professional­ism, still it is just such actions as these that bringcollege athletics into ill repute and give ground forcharges not always consistent with facts.The Cook County Teachers' InstituteTEACHER8'IN8T1TUTE. which is being held this week in KentTheater has been drawing large numbersof the teachers of the county to the University.

We are being well advertised, to say nothingof the fact that Whitney gets at least five dollars acolumn for his work.. Whitney'S logic is amusingand instructive. He shows conclusively that theAll- University team was professional, and cites as hisproof that the teams at, Atlantic City, Cape May,Asbury Park and Oritani are professional. Theq uestion is raised as to what became of the gatemoney.

Possibly someof it may be contributed to raise a monument to com­memorate the virtues of him who devoted all thevigor of his young manhood to discovering profession­alism among college athletes. "Heaven send us,"he cries, "some men in amateur sport, who haveindividuality and sufficient strength of character tostand by a sound principle even though it entail afight to the bitter end!" It is to be hoped thatsome one will hear the trumpet tone of Mr. Whitneyand hasten to relieve the anguish of this modern DonQuixote. All that Whitney says on the subject ofathletics should be listened to respectfully, for he isvery well posted on his subject. For instance, in hisaccount of the Norwood tennis tournament in a lateIssue of Harper's Week(y, he said that Carr B.

The athletic management has not as yet madefinal arrangements but the scheme has met with suchfavor that it only remains to secure suitable quarters.It has been suggested that the best place for the housewould be on Marshall Field, but it is not knownwhether the management could meet the expense of anew house, or whether it would be permitted to builda house on the field. Undoubtedly, therefore, a housewill be rented for the purpose. Probably about six­teen or eighteen men will be taken into the house tolive.Weary Raggles-" Now that's what ud suit me-tosit in close touch wid nature, to drink in her beauties,to be bathed in the effluence dat--"Dusty Dawdler-" Call a halt, Pard; any word butdat.

Ward is a class sixman and defeated George Wrenn and Leo Ware in thetournament. However, Neel had little trouble withhim, as the score shows, although in justice to Ward itshould be said that he was not playing in his usualform. Ward was International champion in '93, butlost it to Malcolm Chase in '94, who in turn lost toNeel by default in '95. This is the second year Neei'has won the International, and thus he becomes theowner of the Queen's Royale trophy. In the finals ofthe doubles Nee1, with George Wrenn as a partner,were beaten by Ware and Whitman, of Harvard, bythe scpre of 1-6, 6-1, 8 6, 3-6, 7-5. This defeat is sur­prising, as both Nee1 and Wrenn are better individualplayers than their opponents, and have played good1034 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.tennis together before.

The return matchis to be played at the Hyde Park police station gym­nasium, Fifty-third street and Lake avenue, next Fri­day at 1 :30 P. M. Murray and Shea put up a surpris­ingly strong game considering the fact that their courtand rules are radically different from ours. It was byfar the best match of handball ever played on thecampus and many supporters of both teams witnessedthe game. The score was as follows:Hubbard and Alschuler defeated Murray and Shea,21-10, 2I-I5,I3-2I, 21-4.At Omaha.The University was ably represented in theInterstate Tennis Tournament in Omaha by Bondand Anderson, of the 'Varsity, and Con dee in theInterscholastic tourney. Bond reached the finals insingles, in which he was defeated by Carver in aclose match. In doubles, Bond and Hardy wentdown in the finals before Carver and Waidner, thedouble champions of the Northwest. Anderson andCondee made a great showing, but were put out bybetter men earlier in the tournament.Football Prospects.With' the approach of the fall quarter there natu­rally arises the question as to what the prospects arefor a good football eleven. Truth to say the chancesfor a winning team are not very bright, and much de­pends upon what new material the freshman classwill bring in.It is in the line that there is the greatest weakness.Of the men who last year made up our famous" stone­wall ., line, Captain Allen has left school, while theother" .heavenly twin," Phil Allen, who played sosuccessfully at center, has refused to play this season,pleading lack of time as his excuse. The veteranRuhlkoetter is barred from playing under the newrules' that have been adopted, no member 01 thegraduate school being allowed to play for more than the "minimum number of scholastic years requiredbefore securing the graduate degree for which he isa candidate.". While Ruhlkoetter was not a brilliantplayer yet he was an absolutely safe one and couldalways be depended upon to do his full duty. Hisplace will be hard to fill. Looney who gave such agood account of the giant Hooper in the Thanksgiv­ing Day's game is not in school. It is not knownyet whether Ketman will play. Flint, who playedleft end last year, will probably not play owing tosome difficulty with the Examiner. Williamson hasdecided to cast his lot with De Pauw University andwill be greatly missed at left tackle.Roby who played right end last year is the onlyline man left, and the other positions must be filled bynew men. Leighton who was substitute center lastfall has a good chance at that position. He lackssomewhat in weight but is grit to the backbone andunderstands the position. Kennedy, Walsh and Sin­cere are the likeliest candidates thus far for the posi­tions of guard. Roby will play either tackle or end.Gordon Clarke should develop into a first class end,and Hamill, of Hyde Park High School, Anderson,of Rochester, and Firth of Bucknell, should also makegood men.Back of the line Ewi_ng will be missed at quarterand Henry Clarke stands a good chance for this posi­tion, as he was first substitute last year. Hering,quarter on the' 94 team, will be back in school buthe coached at Bucknell last year and will not beallowed to play. Coy, of the '94 eleven, is againgetting into training and should make his old posi­tion. The other half will be either Nichols or Galeif the latter decides to play, the extra man being pu�in to strengthen the line. Herschberger seems tohave a sure thing at full. N eel will be his only seri­ous competitor, but he is handicapped by his badknee.However, the incoming class may have good mate­rial in it out of which some excellent players may bedeveloped. As matters stand now the line is weakalthough the backs are as strong or stronger thanthey were last year.A fat French lady despairingly says: "I am so fatthat I pray for a disappointment to make me thin,but no sooner does the disappointment come than thejoy at the prospect of getting thin makes me fatterthan ever.

OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.An Episode on Marshall Field.The University seems to have entertained angelsunawares, as is seen from the following. That thefacts do not agree with circumstances does not lessenthe import of the occurrence, and we hope that the"mental Rothschilds" in the future will steer clearof U ncle Philetus.Great sporting events are also productive of verbal bettors,who ache to stake the entire circulating medium against itselfso as to prove that their judgment is good. College footballmatches and other affairs out of the ordinary, breed numerousrepresentatives of this character. A long-haired boy whosesole start in life at eight o'clock in the morning was a bunchof cigarettes, is often by the wild fever of a football matchmetamorphosed into a mental Rothschild who wishes to sowthe world with mammoth wagers.Snch a one as this labored up and down through the grandstand at the last University of Chicago-University of Wis­consin game and shamed all Chicago by his clamor in suppli­cation for great and distended bets on the Chicago club. Hewanted to bet $10, $20, $50 and $roo on the local team, andhis noise gradually grew into impertinence as he inquired ofthe Wisconsin people what was the matter with them and whythey were afraid to risk a cent or two on their outfit of gran­gers. He wore the Chicago colors and made every Chicagoperson in the gathering wish that a providential earthquakewould come along and gather him. Finally, in answer to hisimportunities, .an elderly party who was very modestly dressedsaid to him:" Yes, sonny. I think our boys will win, and I'll go against'my usual scruples a little and bet some with you."The youth plunged his hand into his pockets and pulled outa roll of bills. "How much? " he inquired. "Five dollars?""Oh, maybe a little more.""Ten? ""I'd take more than that, I guess."The boy began to get visibly alarmed. "Fifty? A hun­dred?" he inquired, dubiously. "You'll have to pay, youknow, if you lose.""Well," said the old man, "let's start it at any amonntbetween six bits and $500, for $500 is all I have with me justnow. But after we've got it started you go somewhere andget all yon can possibly raise and bring it back and I'll writeyou a check to go against it."The youth counted his pretentious roll, and there was jm,t$34 in it. An hour or so later, when the old man hunted theyounger one out to give him his money back, he said: "Ithought I might need the good, big amount you seemed anx­ious to bet, but this won't do me as much good. as it may doyou if you will only do your best to get more sense in somemysterious way.

The ambitious strife of the citycauses exhaustive drains upon themental and physical resources of men,and it is singu1ar that more do not seethe necessity for rest.But where can this be obtained? Thetime occupied in lying around in a ham­mock, or loafing on the veranda of somebusy hotel, does not refresh the mind orstrengthen the body. The proper relax­ation is to enter into the delights of pis­catorial pastime, hunting, boating, orsome other occupation that will brushaway the cobwebs from the musty cham­bers of the intellect.And then the busy housewife and thechildren need the change of air andscenery.
