The Boot
Slips Off..
THE WITHDRAWAL of Italy from
the League of Nations occasioned
little surprise among diplomatic circles. For
some time Italy has been no more than a dead
weight about the neck of the League, and for the
past two years has\ steadfastly opposed every
action 'attempted by the democratic powers at
Geneva. The conquest of Ethiopia and the re-
fusal of the democracies to recognize the Italian
regime in that country formed the crux of the
diplomatic war which has been carried on by
the Italian Foreign Office and press against the
League, the high point having been reached when
Hile Selassie was unable to speak in the denewa
assembly because of the booing of Italian news-
papermen. The formal declaration of withdrawal
voiced in Mussolini's speech Saturday has long
been anticipated.
The question of the consequences of the action
divides itself into two parts. The effect on the
League will probably be stimulating, since all
hope of saving the Franco-Italian rapproche-
ment is now gone with the severing of this last
wire from Paris to Rome. The League is now the
organ of the democracies, and even handicapped
by the absence of the United States, should be-
come an important rallying ground for the forces
of peace and order.
As for the consequences of withdrawal on Italy's
own policy and that of her fascist sistr nations,
Germany and Japan, it is probable that their op-
position to the League will henceforth take an
even more decisive and united character. The
effect of this will be to drive the League powers
closer together in turn, thus drawing the lines
more clearly than ever between the two camps.
Lest this outlook appear too wholly pessimistic,
it might be pointed out that the strength of col-
lective security as a means of maintaining world
peace has been in no way diminished, and has,
in fact, received considerable impetus. The na-
tions seeking peace have been placed in a position
which makes it mandatory for them to stand
firmly together in defense of the status quo; and
united they' form a bloc of sufficient military
power to provide a strong deterrent to aggressors.

Art And
The Student . .
THEART EXHIBIT now being dis-
played in Alumni Memorial Hall

under the sponsorship of the Ann Arbor Art Asso-
ciation is meeting with the usual spirit of apathy
on the part of the student body.
Now, it may be that this collection is not
exactly the top in artistic achievement, but we
cite this example merely to bring out the general
disinterest of the student body for what we have
been led to believe are "the finer things in life."
In this category come art, music, drama and
poetry. And, if college students, supposedly the
intelligentsia of the country, are not cultivating,
or even attempting to cultivate, taste for these
finer things, how can there be any hope for the
future elevation of the much deplored American
artistic sense?
Which brings us to another point.. On every
hand, one hears of the stagnancy of art in this
country-that America has produced no great
artists, no truly great works of literature, and no
musical masterpieces. And then the more pa-
triotic of us come to the fore with the defense

America writers have been well ahead of con-
temporary stylists. So, therefore, the fault can-
not be laid to tempo, practicality, or youth. It
is merely that we Americans do not have the
artistic sense to appreciate art when we see it.
And, still worse, we are not making any visible
effort to gain such an artistic sense.
To get back to the apathy of the average
college student toward these cultural things: we
do not wish to be priggish about the matter.
Nor do we say that every college man should
rush around in a mad effort to get "cultured."
But we do maintain that, if the American stand-
ards of art appreciation are to be raised, it
should be the college student who should head the
procession and not remain in the background.
It is up to the college man and woman to
cultivate a sense of artistic values here on campus
and then develop it after they leave.

UNDER
TH"E CLOCK
with DISRAELI
It is almost impossible to make satire out of this
football situation. On this front it is disgusting
enough when Detroit sports writers are reaching
out and washing the University's dirty linen for
them. When the Detroit Times attacks Fielding
H. Yost on the ousting of Harry Kipke, we na-
turally suspect personal friendship for the de-
posed to be the major influence. When the Free
Press lashes out at the Old Man for being old,
we suspect their continual penchant for incon-
sistent putty-brained argument. Didn't the Free
Press oppose the court reform attempt on the
basis that it doesn't necessarily follow that be-
cause a man is old, he is senile? But that is the
Detroit attitude. The Detroit alumni have un-
fortunately caught it up. And over in Chicago
the alumni have taken a somewhat similar
stand, but there they are making an issue of a
Yost-Kipke feud.
Last Friday morning the Chicago papers bore
the disgraceful tale to the public. There were
stories of disloyalty, of intrigue, lese majeste
-everything perhaps but murder and grand lar-
ceny. Now there is from all appearances a
movement in Chicago for the reinstatement of
Kipke. And if that is not done, then wipe out
Yost and the Board in Control of Athletics. Play
is made, that Kipke is one of Michigan's heroes,
that he should never have been given the sudden
bump out that he did get. And through all the
stories runs charge after charge that Kipke never
had a free hand in dealing with his team. But
the main indictment of the Board and Yost seem
to be based on reports of petty differences between
Cappon and Kipke. We won't repeat the accusa-
tions because we do not consider this matter im-
portant enough or relevant enough for the situa-
tion. Some of this tripe is no doubt true, but be
that as it may--so what?
The case is actually this, that Michigan was
Slosing games. Winning games is a coach's job.
If he has the material and he is an able coach he
can win a reasonable number of games. Mich-
igan has had fine material for the past two sea-
sons. The men have been as fast, as big and as
strong as the other teams in the Conference. In
addition, if we believe all the hullabaloo about the
stringent entrance requirements and the tough
curricula, they must be smarter. Yet, Michigan
has continued to lose games. On the bare facts,
something has had to happen and it finally did.
And the Board has made it known that the new
coach will have full latitude in the selection of his
assistants. That would seem to answer the charges
that Yost and Cappon will seek to steamroller the
selections.'
Yet in Chicago there is hue and cry. The Old
Man must be retired because he had one of
Michigan's heroes fired at the behest of a minor
coach. We refuse to believe it and we don't think
that the Chicago Alumni would either were they
to come to Ann Arbor. They would in five min-
utes discover that the Old Man desires but one
' thing-to see Michigan football teams win foot-
ball games. If that means the firing of a Mich-
igan hero, then that is what must be done. If
that is the best course for the University, then
there is no other. Whatever else might have

come out with the dismissal of Kipke has grown
from the machinations of petty intriguers and
gossips who abound everywhere. We ask the Chi-
cago alumni to consider that if a report can
become distorted on its way from the Field
House to the Daily, what must happen to it going
two hundred and two thousand miles.
A charge has been that Kipke deserved better
treatment than he got. We agree. We feel
that his dismissal was too abrupt. But Kipke
was offered a chance to resign. The Board
blundered here, for they asked his resignation
too late. Somewhere in the setup there was a
leak and a newspaper in Grand Rapids got
the break before even Kipke did. The report is
he was asked to resign after his dismissal had
already been announced in this paper. Naturally1
he refused to resign. The Board was necessarily
at fault in this. But there is no one in Ann Arbor
who feels this more than Yost himself. Yost de-
veloped Kipke, saw him through his collegiate
career and was the man who selected him to
coach. Kipke was not only a Michigan hero
but he has always been one of "his boys." As ser-
iously as the Old Man takes his Michigan foot-
ball, just as seriously he considers the men who
played for him and the men who played, for
Kipke. It is just that he sees the university
before he sees the man.
This isn't a brief against Harry Kipke. We
believe that he is unfortunate. The, years are
each different, and where he might have fitted
in four years ago as a coach here, reverses
change the man and the situation. Perhaps in
another position he will again turn out great
teams. We sincerely hope so. But at present

Yesterday headlines all over the U.S. screamed
out the fact that the U.S. gunboat Panay had
been sunk by the Japs near Nanking. It might be
said that Japan was "Panay-wise and pound
foolish" about the whole thing..
At about the same time, a British seaman was
killed at Wuhu. It is unfortunate that most
people will only be reminded of Hugh Herbert by
the incident.

The System's Not The Thing
To the Editor:
In this morning's paper appeared a letter
giving a dissertation on Michigan's "Antiquated
Yost System." My letter is a reply that anyone
who has any ideas on football could not help but
make.
First let us make one thing clear, that is that
we are discussing systems and not men. If I
had my way Yost would go along with Kipke,
but that is not the point. His point is whether
any other system is better than te one we use.
"Col. Quackenbush" claims that our system is
antiquated and he prefers the Notre Dame system.
He is overlooking one thing, fundamentals. It is
this and primarily this that makes asystem
function.
When things go wrong we jump on the sys-
tem and call it old. In 1933 and '34 we were
national champions. Every system now used in
football was in full use at that time and yet we
won. I could point to other systems and show
that they also have had their ups and downs.
Colgate using the Warner system was tops about
'32, but today it is at the bottom with us. it is
stupid to criticize a system when it isn't at fault.
Today each team sends out its scouts who come
back with a full line of information on the'
opponents. All week, the team studies these plays
and learns ways of stopping them. Sometimes they
succeed, and sometimes they fail. Rockne never
worried about scouts learning his plays because he.
knew his men were well drilled in fundamentals.
This is why his teams were so outstanding;
this is why other teams beat Michigan. If you
have eleven men who can block and tackle you
can run off touchdowns on straight line plunges.
If the 'opponents can out-block and out-tackle
our team then they're bound to win. One man
galloping f on a 60-yard run doesn't make a
team, although he gives the spectators a thrill.
Our line this year was stubborn until we played
the Gophers and then we met a bunch who could
out-block and tackle us everywhere on the field.
You can't blame the system because the coacht
has spent so little time practising these funda-1
mentals with the team. It is wiser to blame the
personnel. The Michigan system isn't bad; there
is nothing wrong in kicking on third down except
to the spectators. It is smart ball playing to
allow the opponent to carry the burden of the of-
fense while you kick them back to their goal linet
and then crash over with all the reserved power.
Illinois came here last year with a supposedly
inferior team and did this very stunt-and
won.
Football is not like professional wrestling where
they put on a show. It is a game that is "played
for keeps." The players are not supposed to be
gallant knights as Ivanhoe who majestically
march down the field to victory and put on the

most interesting of pageants. They are not sup-
posed to stop and bow to their audience, and it
makes little difference if they look the part, as
long as they play the part.
I am sure that if Michigan comes through in
the following years and reaches its heights-
which I predict it will in 1939-that all thoughts
of an antiquated system will disappear.
