Gentry THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1929 HARVARD'S SPORTSMANSHIPI Following Michigan's victory over Harvard several Eastern sportswri- ters took occasion to deprecate th skill and power of the Michigan eleven and attribute the defeat of a better Harvard team to "the breaks of the game." For a mom- ent we had it in mind to wax indig- iant over thi "reach of trood taste tions about Harvard, Harvard men, and Harvard football. It has shown us that Harvard's private reaction to the game was as fine as the brand of football they showed on the field. It makes us proud to have played them. We want to play them frequently in the future, and thereby learn to know them better. i - nn-.. ...o.................. ... .............$.....*.* i.is..rn....... ..About BoOks..d:4 A NEW NOTE "RED HOT IN JOHN MASEFIELD ROMANTICISM" The Hawbucks, by John Masefield New Worlds To Conquer, The MacMillan Company, New York By Richard HallibuL'ton- City Bobbs Merrill, Indianapolis Price $2.50.

The puzzling feature of the vol- ume is its seeming seriousness in the face of foolishness. On occa- sions the author raises to heights of ridiculous naivete and whimsical invention which we are forced to like almost as much as he does. There can be no doubt that he has j done a lot of worthless but amus- ing things that are good stuff for yarn-spinning, and that gain much in the skillful telling thereof. But through it all the emotional Mr. Halliburton seems to have hypno- tized himself into believing that he is a hero inspired to recapture for the world its lost romance. He moves outside of himself, scarcely able to comprehend the greatness of his own feats. He makes of him- self an extremely uncomfortable martyr, ostensibly for the sake of his cause, in reality for the sake of publicity. If its red hot flow of romanticism and self-adulation is sprayed with the fire hose of rea- son, Mr. Halliburton's new book looks like a charred flake smeared in a big wet drop. Persoiially we have a Weak ti j for :fetion and rather enjoy a Louch of romance. There is also an im- portant place in the literary schemc for adventure and biography. His- tory is another admirable field for the csholar-writer. Publicity is a, rather less honorable employment for the pen-it smacks more of journalism than authorship-- but in this practcal, prosaic world it serves sonic sore of a useful end, and is not utterly to be. despised. Lastly, tastes in style differ, but most of us in our reading have sen- suous moments when we cats en- joy a little purple turgidity: even a description of Mexican mnoun- tains as "unearthly, imnuaciAte poems of grace and .snowv and vio- let mystery." But it is impossible to be so charitable toward a spec- ious hash of history and fiction and romantic, adventurous autobiogra- phy, shot through with enough ego to reduce it to propaganda, and communicated with all the fervor and bombast of an extemporaneous prayer or a minor poet in alcoholic raptures over a purple cow.

The book con- tains discussions on psychology, an- thropology, paleontology, astrono- my, politics, religion, metaphysics. and literature. He had no use whatsoever for religion, especially Christianity, and put all his trust in science. "God," he says in one I of the essays, "is nothing but a word bearing no relation to fact... . ... Experimental truth is establish- ed as the only criterion of truth." In another place, he points out: "Life is the implacable law which requires us to atone for our emo- tional pleasures. . . . nevertheless, there is a tremendous drama in it, and the better we understand it the more enjoyable is the spectacle," A short time before his death, the Tiger, firm in his ideals, said: "I am eighty-six years old and I am nearing the end.
