satisfactory "not guilty" judgment1
even by the most searching of our
judges.
We do grant that there is a pos-
sibility of such intensified competi-
tion as in a national basketball
tourney being too much in a short
period of time, but even in such ex-
treme cases we emphatically sug-
gest that the sensible revision of
the situation lies not in an abolish-
ment of a system whose beneficial
aspects are so numerous but rather
the limiting of the contestants and
the schedule through the erection
of more rigid requirements around
the entrance possibilities.
MICHIGAN'S NEW CLUB. I
Announcement of the contem-
plated erection in Detroit, within a
few months, of an intercollegiate
alumni club will furnish welcome
news to many University students.
The purpose served by such
clubs, many of which have been in
operation for years in several of
the country's larger cities, is en-
tirely laudable. They do not draw
distinctions and create class lines,
but merely serve as convenient and
comfortable meeting places for
men whose background and life in-
terests are in many respects simi-
lar.
News from New York of the raid-
ing of such a club a few days ago,
and the discovery therein of a
quantity of liquor, is of little signi-
ficance. College alumni will show
no more tendency to drink in a
club of their own than in hotels.
And on the 'other hand, a college
club will serve in many respects to
stimulate the more worth-while
proclivities of those who have been
educated in universities.
It is sincerely to be hoped that
prices in the new club will be mod-
est enough so that newly-fledged
alumni, as the members of the
classes of 1930 and 1931 soon will
be, will be able to afford to live in
the club. Many of the beneficial
effects willbe lostaifbcollege grad-
uates will not be able to continue
their close associations without in-
terruption after graduation. If
each one must become rich before
he can afford to live in the club,
it will fail to achieve its real pur-
pose of continuing after gradua-
tion the socially cultural benefits
of college life.
TAG DAY.
Not many weeks from now the
majority of us will pack up and
depart for mountain resorts, or,the
wide open spaces, there to indulge
in the healthy pursuit of sunshine,
swimming and general relaxation.
Meanwhile, thousands of less for-
! tunate boys will swelter in the en-
ervating heat of the city, seeking
unhealthy divertisement in the
streets and anticipating nothing
better than sunlight filtered
through grime, and an occasional
ducking under an open fire hy-
drant. Not much fun that-and
certainly not the sort of vacation
that provides ideal recreation and
abundant health.
In order to relieve this situation
as much as possible a drive for the

INTERSCHOLASTIC
COMPETITIONS
With the word from Madison
.1.
that the Wisconsin authorities have
definitely turned their backs on
interstate interscholastic lathletic
competitions much interest is at-
tached to the stand which Michi-
gan will take on the same matte-.
Ever since the legarthic' North Cen-
tral Association awoke to the fact
that the establishment of that body
must be kept before the eyes of the
sporting world as a shadowy partner
to the devious ways of Carnegie's
Dr. Savage and their pseudo ulti-
matum was broadcasted to a
"breathless" membership, specula-
tion has been rife as to the real
merits and possible evils of inter-
scholastic competitions as sponsor-
ed by the several colleges and uni-
versities.
It is universally' granted that the
initial and fundamental purpose of
these events is hardly of an oner-
ous character. Surely the very act
of making possible for the contest-
ants a higher plane of competition
than is available within a confined
area, is not in itself harmful. The
situation whereby young men of
high school age are placed in an
atmosphere of higher education is
again in itself an advantage. None
will argue that many young men
have more easily made possible a
selection of their future alma
mater by first hand comparisons of
the various collegiate institutions.
It is quite possible that inter-
scholastic competitions may be in
themselves of an evil influence and
should be abolished or limited if
certain factors arise. Too frequent
and prolonged competitions, re-
cruiting in connection with finan-
cial considerations, or stampeding
in favor of the host, are surely pos-
sible objections to an inferior pro-
gram. It is true that many colleg-
iate institutions have employed
scholastic meets as a part of re-
'rutii nnar ram and hav in o..-
Just think how many dollar bills
have been ruined in trying to test
out Ripley's statement that an or-.

There was a young girl from Peru,!
Who took a ride in a canoe:

Stowkowski is working with a
better orchestra than Stravinsky
had in the Columbia recording. Be-
cause of the superiority of the in-
dividual men, he' can gain greater
clarity in the mosaic juxtaposition
of short phrases. The chordal work
is more sharp and accurate and
Stravinsky's use. of timbre as a
chordal constituent becomes more
recognizable in the Victor record-
ing.
There are some defects in Stow-f
kowski's work too. Several sec-
