HITCHCOCK ________- .- ere will be ani important meeting of the, rial staff and tryouts at 4:30 o'clock this entire after- FOLLOWING THE RULES The disqualifying of Capt. Vernon Parks, just prier to the opening of Michigan's baseball season this year, has caused newspapers to open fire with scorching editorials against the practice of prohi- biting college players frota engaging in professional baseball, and foremost among these exponents of a, change in the rules is the Chicago Tribune. The proposition, as set forth in the editorial col- umns of that paper, is that the student athlete has a perfect right to put himself through school 'by playing professionally during the summer, and should not be prevented from doing so by a system which, in the eyes of the Tribune, is simply a re- vival of the English caste idea, unworthy of Amer- ican democracy. The Tribune is right. The man who plays base- ball in college is generally better equipped to make real money through the following of professional ball during the summer than he is in any other field. Professional football may be.antagonistic to the best interests of the intercollegiate game. But football is essentially a college sport, whereas base- ball and other forms of athletics come under an- other category ; and the man who goes into base- ball for money during his vacations is thereby not only enabled to improve his playing ability, but can do much toward making his way financially .much easier the following year. That the "summer pro" college player should be excluded from the ranks of the intercollegiate sport is unfair, especially when his brother players, in certain colleges, can often secure "soft" positions of one kind and an- other connected with the school, which will largely pay their way without much effort on their part, the only condition being that they do their best to- ward upholding the athletic standing of the institu- tion. The general attitude is, of course, somewhat di- vided on the proposition which our ,experience this year has brought into the foreground. Officials at some universities are strongly in favor of contin- uing under the present system and of completely barring from all participation in college games those men who have played for money during the summer. Whether these officials may be right or not, or whether the Tribune and other advocates of a change in the rules are to be upheld, is now a moot question. The fact remains, of course, that the rulings of the Western Conference are at present directly op- posed to the use in college athletics of "pro" play- ers. It matters not that it is physically impossible for an 'athletic association always to pick out every man who has so used his vacation. There are un- doubtedly many who are in the game even after the weeding-out process has been carried on with the greatest possible efficiency. Still the rules are in existence, and since we cannot get around the facts, only one thing is to be done, and that is absolutely to follow the letter of the law. But the point is that as yet they hold that college men shall not participate in collegiate athletics if they have formerly played for money. Let us change the rules when the opportunity presents it- self ; but until that time the only procedure possi- ble, jf fairness is to be the dictator, is to stick by the present intercollegiate laws and keep college competitive circles free of the so-called "pro". AS ANOTHER SEES US Gilbert K. Chesterton has come to be the acceptd thing even among those who have no aspirations to be classed as intellectuals. There was a time when the great Gilbert K. was eminently proper among the intellectual dilettantes of both America and England (how he would appreciate seeing that combination of countries in that order), but those days have passed. He is no longer merely a sub- ject for polite conversation. People of all sorts read him not because is it the thing to do but be- cause they admire the man's cleverness, his men- tal keenness and his superb egotism which falls just short of that of Bernard Shaw. The proof of his popularity is shown by the fact that eminently practical American newspapers pay him good money for his weekly column of obser- vations on American life as contrasted with the life and customs of his native England. An essay. "On Dollars and Day Dreams" which recently ap- peared showed a keen power of analysis and an open-minded weighing of facts which is seldom en- countered in semi-critical reviews of the manners and customs of a foreign country. Chesterton explodes the theory so prevalent on the continent that Americans are solely interested in money and the things that money will (10. He has discerned the truth, so unintelligible to the aver- age European, that the American imbues his work with art and makes romance, under the guise of business, a part of his everyday life instead of re- serving it entirely for his vacations as the Eng- lishman does. Nevertheless, Chesterton, being English and the product of a more leisurely, cultured society, be- lieves that the English way is best, partly because it satisfies his idea of the fitness of things and partly because it gives a man an anchor to wind- ward, in the shape of a divided interest. He points out that no man completely loses balance so long as part of his life remains undisturbed. Suicide, for instance, seldom suggests itself to the business man in England simply because he is a financial fail- ure, whereas here failure in business frequently. does lead people to the river. On the whole the rising popularity of Chesterton anng the people of America is due to the truly remarkable ability of the man in grasping the es- sentials of life and putting them forth in easily comprehended terms - to that, and, we hope, to the growing tendency of the American to interest him- self in some things beside those purely related to his business. S-h-h, don't disturb the long sleep.

Our growing conviction that the profs are slightly lacking in the matter of having a sense of humor was strengthened by a little accident which befell us in our poly sci. quiz section. The prof asked us a certain question and being a stickler for consis, tency we replied, "Unprepared; sir." Taking out his little notebook he replied, "That being the case I guess I'll have to give you a zero." With a non- chalance that would have done credit to'a stude waiting for an answer to his Ypsi call we replied, "Well, that's nothing to me, sir." And what the prof said and did then is whatconfirmed us in our previously mentioned belief.
