FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1921. Night Edtor-T. W. SARGENT, JR. WIPE OFF THE SLATI The Daily Illini's editorial urgingthat a quietus be put on the backbiting of the mistaken few who have been causing- trouble and ill-feeling between Illinois and Michigan during the recently closed basketball season is reprinted on this page. It shows that the Urbana campus is as disgusted with the situation as is Michigan, and as ready to prove that the rowdy element is not representative. Granting the possibility of misunderstanding con- cerning Michigan's attitude toward the Illinois teai when it last played in Ann Arbor, the Illini says, "Forget It!" The discussion now current on Mich- igan's campus regarding the very unfortunate in- cident which marred the close of the final game at Urbana is equally fruitless. Nothing but a high school mentality would per- mit a man to retrograde to the type of conduct which has had a brief and unfortunate lease on life this winter. The few who were responsible are due for a rearrangement of their ideas; they are drawbacks to their universities. The clean, hard battling of Indians and Wolverines ought by all means to be kept up; but competition must never again ,descend to the gangster level between Illinois and Michigan - universities destined to friendship and not to hate. BOXING AND WRESTLING For some time past, supporters of the gentle art of wrestling and of the kindred sport of pounding one another with sixteen ounce gloves have been enthusiastically endeavoring to get recognition either as a Varsity or minor sport, but have so far been unsuccessful. To some of us of the-less-battling type, the idea of giving recognition of this sort to any sports ex- cept the more widely heralded types of competi- tion such as baseball and football may seem foolish, but this idea is behind the times. Football and base- ball may be more popular with the student body as a whole, but other sports are rapidly coming into their own and the field of major athletics is slowly but surely becoming more and more inclusive. And certain it is that these two kinds of sport, in which not only brawn but .skill and cool-headedness are required, are rising high in the athletic limelight of today. As evidence of this fact, one may find reports in almost every daily paper of some college wrestling or boxing tournament'in progress. Minnesota has announced that an all-university boxing tourney will be held there late in March, the survivors to meet in a four-round match the following month. And 1 hat is only one case among many; at the Univer- sity of Cincinnati even the women are being in- structed in the sport. As for wrestling, coaches everywhere are strong advocates of the game as a developer for football as well as for its own sake. Surely we who pride ourselves on our accom- plishments and up-to-dateness cannot afford to re- main behind the times in this field any more than in any other. The including of wrestling and box- ing bouts between halves at this season's basketball games and the scheduling of a bout for last night at the Junior Lit smoker in the Union are true signs of the times with regard to the popularity of both pastimes - a popularity which deserves recogni- tion. TRIBUTE TO THE VICTORS When Coach Mather rushed out on the floor after the final whistle at Urbana and grasped the sweaty hand of Miller - the nearest Wolverine - in the f rst congratulation of Michigan's hard-bat- tled victory over Illinois he signalized the conclu- sion of one of the greatest uphill fights ever made by any squad which has worn the Maize and Blue. Michigan's seven victories which placed her for the first time at the top of the Conference basket- ball standing were torn from opponents who re- garded the team, at first, as an also-ran due to the misfortune of the first few games; and then with mounting respect as the wonderful fighting spirit of the squad prevailed and tore encounter after en- counter from the Big Ten's best. There is something more in this achievement than would appear in a mere victory of skill alone; there is the elemental satisfaction which comes with the knowledge that grit and endurance and that never- give-in spirit which we glory to call Michigan's were required to bring it about, and were never lacking. "Skipper" Mather's leadership and the never-flagging loyalty of his "fighting sons-of-guns" on the squad will stand always as a highlight among the many fine memories of Michigan athletics. READING AS A BACKGROUND It was not more than a generation ago that an admission of only a superficial knowledge of the world's best literature would have rankled the soul of an Amer can student. The knowledge that he was lacking in one of the prime requisites to cul- ture would have been a constant source of reproach. Today the number of students who are ale to boast of having made a slight inroad into the bulk of good1 literature is negligible; and the well-read student is a living anomoly. How would the mind of the average student of today react to the casual men- "tion of such names as Rebecca Sharp, Sidney Car- ton, 'and Jean Valjean? Famous as they are and should be, to a vast majority they would be nothing but names signifying no more than the mention of John Smith We shall not delve into the causes for this surprising indifference; intellectual laziness, lack of ambition, or call it what you will. Perhaps there is an excess of inane diversion. Perhaps. it is the complexity of present day life which has di- verted the youth of Americ from the very foun- tain and source of learning. However the essen- tial thing is that this headless attitude and flagrant ignorance, are both remediable. Bacon says that "reading maketh a full man." The. man who lacks the background of literary knowledge toooften proves himself a sham by the artificial tone of his conversation. Education in its broad sense is a knowledge of the truths of life. However, many of these truths cannot be assimi- lated from textbooks, but rather are recorded for public use from the thoughts of genius. A knowl- edge of these ideas upon life results in a sound moral and spiritual background so invaluable and indispensible to success in life. The University of Michigan offers an opportunity to all its students to become educated by placing at their disposal a splendid library. At present there could hardly be a more widespread abstinence from good reading if the books were interdicted to student use.

Another dent and I were arguing as to what are the last teeth that come to a man. Will you kindly settle the argument. M. 0. Lars. A person does not have to be taking dentistry to know that the false ones are the last teeth that come to a man. It makes an underwriter frown To drain this bitter cup; That when a ship has settled down He has to settle up.

It is high time a few at Illinois and a few at Michigan cut short off with their petty quarreling and devote their attentions to things more profitable and certainly more desirable. The kind.of verbal shots being, exchanged between these two factions is, to say the least, unworthy of institutions of Illinois and Michigan calibre. The squabble, in which a portion of the two campus followings are engaged, would hardly be expected to find a place in two upstart high schools. It is ridiculous for it to exist in the Con- ference. We fail to understand why univer- sity men, of the maturity and sense accredited to them, should take keen delight in poking the embers of a feud that burst out temporarily but that will die a natural death, if a few persons at both universities will put a check on their tongues and spur to their brain faculties. For the tongues are wagging without any sen- sible forethought to direct what they are saying. Their owners are using them like a lot of small boys just aft- er a scrap between two gangs on a small town lot. Granted that the Illini team was mistreated at Ann Arbor. We do not doubt that for responsible Illinois men who were there have told it. But was it Michigan as a body of basket- ball spectators that did it? Was it in the treatment accorded by Michigan officials? Or was it merely irrespon- sible jabber descending from a few rowdies that -were ,misplaced at a Conference basketball game and didn't have sense enougb to know it? Prob- ably for the most part it was the last. Of course there is a possibility that it was all of these. But if it was, Illi- nois -has no business-for no other reason than because it is Illinois-be- ing a partner to it. And Illinois; let It be emphasized in defense of the University and its reputation, is not as the institution proper doing the act. But she is be- ing commonly conceived as doing so because a few here on the campus are braying instead of even talking, let alone thinking, just as Michigan in general is suffering fronl what the same minority class on its campus has been doing. If a few mouths at both ends of the road will, shut up the quarrel will let up. I will guarantee you good incomeif you will talk stocks and bonds during your spare time.
