lowers between two representatives.
The originators of the proposed plan
have unquestionably been moved to
their action by a sincere desire to
better intercollegiate football as well
as the welfare of the students of Con-
ference universities. Their plan, how-
ever, already once rejected by the
coaches' conference, seems little
.qualified to meet the situation which
they wish to better.
SHAW DECLINES
Characterizing the money as a life
belt thrown to a swimmer who has al-
ready reached shore in safety, the
Irish firebrand has declined in typ-
ically Shavian manner, the Nobel
prize of $40,000-but has accepted the
honor. It is the crowning paradox
of an extremely paradoxical career
that he should receive the award for
the year 1925 when he did not write
a line.
With a fine sense of serving the
public, so long indifferent to his abil-
ity, Shaw suggests that the money be
used to further an, understanding and
appreciation of Swedish literature in
England. Maintaining that his read-
ers furnish him with more money
than is good for his spiritual health,
he spurns the gold but takes the
glory. All of which is typically
Shavian.
CREDIT
Confidence in continued prosperity
in this country in general and in the
automobile industry in particular per-
meated the atmosphere of the opening
session of the Third National Auto-
mobile Financing conference last
Tuesday in Chicago. All delegates,
seemingly, heartily endorsed the
growing tendency of the public to pur-
chase everything from pianos an
baby carriages to homes and limou-
sines on the installment plan. In the
face of the fact that at the present
time wages are highest in the econ-
omic history of the United States and
that unemployment is near its record
low ebb mark, (and this condition un-
doubtedly is due to the buying of the
public stimulated by'credit plans) it is
rather difficult to see that caution
might well be the watchword in
further extension of credit in order to
keep sales up. It seems more logical
to encourage the present tendency and
continue the good times.
On the other side, however, are a
certain few economists, bankers, and
the like, that for the past year, at
least, have viewed the present condi-
tion with alarm. The middle class
man, is burdening himself with
enough promises to pay in the future
to spend his month's salary long be-
fore he receives it. Sooner or later,
he must wake up and take account
of himself. Ige must stop his orgy
of buying and pay up. When the
paying-up time arrives, he will, of
course, be forced to stop buying and
this will leave the market flooded with
the goods of the manufacturer. The
manufacturer, in many instances, has
expanded his business in ratio to
present demand. He does not realize
that all means of credit schemes are
now being put into force in order to
supply cash to purchase his products.
Eventually, the whole system will be
too large for another turn over and
production will have to slow up in
order to create another demand like
the present.
Men living because of the existence
of the~credit organizations of the coun-
try naturally would see nothing of
the question but the bright side. The
automobile credit men meeting in
Chicago have their side of the ques-
tion and are expressing it. But where

does the public come in?
RED MAN
For centuries the red man ruled
this continent, and eked a bare exist-
ence from its resources for about
three million people. Then came a
new type of people-dynamic and pro-
gressive, and within four centuries
the red man's continent was trans-
formed into an immense community,
supporting a hundred million persons#
and using all the vast resources of the
richly endowed country for the hap-
piness and comfort of its people.
The Indian has shared in this ad-
vance; and the white man has been,
exteremnely charitable with the re-
ceding civilization;but now, at the
end of hundreds of years, during
which time the Indian has had the
same advantage as the white man,
it is time that he was brought under
the white man's laws, even the game
and fish laws.
In the present dispute in Sault Ste.
Marie the red man may lose his last
"inherent" right . It will not be the
end; it will be the evidence of a new
era-a new continent--and a richer
existence.

IMPRACTICAL
If the results, which are claimed
for it, could be realized, there is little
doubt that the simultaneous home and
home arrangement of Conference
games which recently received definite
support from President Clarence Cook,
Little should be adopted.
It would be very satisfying, indeed,
to adopt a plan which would better
the seating situation, distribute glory
to more coaches and players, increase
loyalty to the institution, enable stu-
dents to receive more from their
academic pursuits, and generally re-
move commercialism from intercol-
legiate football.
It is quite questionable, however,
if the plan proposed will secure these
results. From the coaching stand-
point particularly, the new system
would seem to be impractical. Unless
both Varsity teams of an institution
were equal, which is quite improbable,
there would be attempts, either by
pre-season arrangements or by scout-
ing, to pair the strong and the weak
teams; or to shift the personnel of
each team to meet the variety of at-
tack used by each opponent, a prac-
tice which would hamper team play,
on both squads.
Although the plan would entail the
use of twice as many players on the
Varsity squads, the increase would be
negligible in any "athletics-for-all"
program of an institution as large as'
a Conference university. Further-
more, with newspaper publicity now
necessarily limited to the spectacular
actions of a few players, despite the
presence of many others who perform
well, it would do little to mitigate the
glory credited to individuals.
Likewise, it is doubtful whether the
overemphasis placed on the individual
coach would be lessened. Michigan
students, for example, would continue
to honor and respect the ability of
Coach Yost above all other members
of the coaching staff regardless of
tny method of scheduling opponents.
Even with a game at home, many
students would continue to follow
their favorites to out-of-town grid-
irons, unless such action were ex-
pressly prohibited, in which case the
results would not be due to the prow
p( sed plan. Moreover, granted that

i F SO
EDITORIAL COMMENT
THAT TERRIBLE FOOTBALL
(The Detroit Free Press)
The New York World hopes that the
Harvard-Princeton break is the first
sign of a "debacle whereby football
will fall of its own weight." In ex-
pressing this benign sentiment, the
World takes a typical provincial east
coast view of the importance of the
little row between the two schools it
mentions. Really the so-called "big
three," of which Harvard and Prince-
ton are two, do not constitute the en-
tire football world by a long shot.
And if they should disband their teams
and junk their stadiums, their acts
would scarcely cause a ripple in the
big world west of the Alleghenys,
which is now the real America.
The reasons for the malign desires
of the New York publication are quite
curious. "It now looks as though
we have neither colleges nor univer-
sities, but simply football clubs," it
mourns. And to those who may point
out that "classes still go on," it says:
"But they will hardly deny that
football is now the chief campus
activity; that its coaches are paid
more than .professors (maybe
good ones are harder to get); that
its budget is larger than the
budget for anything else; that it
is almost the sole interest of the
alumni, and that any president
who dared flout that interest
would lose his job so quickly he
would not know what happened
to him. In short, football comes
first and all else second. No
scheme of education can even be
considered until its effects on the
football team has been estimated."
Jdremiah had little on this Lamen-
tation.
Unquestionably there are unfortu-
nate tendencies in the football world.
The ticket scandal in connection with
the Army-Navy game is inexcusable,
and measures should be taken to see
that nothing of that sort ever can
happen again. But the contention that
'football comes first and all else sec-
ond," is negatived by the one fact
that players, no matter how brilliant,
are barred from play by well conduct-
ed schools if their scholastic achieve-
ments are not up to a respectable
standard; and the tendency is to make
the application of the rule more and
more uncompromising. This year, a
i member of the University of Michigan
eleven was temporarily so barred.
The remark about the subordination
of schemes of education to the effect
on the football teams is puerile ab-
surdity; and if college heads are uni-
versally under the thumb of football
magnates, how does the president of
Yale hold his job? Likewise if alumni
care nothing about their alma maters
except from the football standpoint,
why do they give tens, of millions for
general endowments and to erect
buildings such as the Alumni and the
Lawyer's buildings at Ann Arbor?
Once more, if football budgets are
larger than budgets for anything else
in connection with college life (we do
not know that they are), it is also
true that the football season of a col-
lege more often than otherwise shows
a suhtanti1 nofit whihlin iffic
