Looking At ATrad itio .. .
O FAR every racing man in the country has placed the blame for Whirl-
away's defeat Saturday squarely upon the jinx of the famed Arlington
Park race track, the so-called "graveyard of champions." Being the most
superstitious people in the world (and even they'll admit that), the turf men
have been pointing to the adventures of Johnstown, Gallahadion and
Twenty Grand at this same track as much as to say that Whirlaway had
to lose-he was the odds-on favorite.
Johnstown had come to Arlington with the Derby and Belmont stakes
safely tucked in his saddlebags, Gallahadion had also won at Kentucky and
Twenty Grand had set a Derby mark--but none of them had a record to
compare with Whirlaway's. Before the 1941 turf king was beaten by the
comparatively obscure Attention, Whirlaway had acquired the Triple Crown,
winning the Preakness, Derby and Belmont prizes.
It was more than tradition,,however, that beat the famous Wright
entry. After all, if our memory serves us right, both Omaha and Gallant
Fox came through at Arlington after capturing the Triple Crown and
most experts are of the opinion that Whirlaway's performances had
yet to come up to the quality of these fast-steppers. Remember, it
wasn't so long ago when Whirlaway was hailed as the long-shot Derby
victor.
PERHAPS another factor in Whirlaway's defeat was the suspension of
Eddie Arcaro, one of the two or three top jockeys in the business, who
rode Whirlaway in his Kentucky, Belmont and Preakness victories. When
Arcaro was 'uled out of competition, 22-year-old Alfred Shelhamer was
given the Arlington assignment. Shelhamer, although an excellent jockey,
is very definitely ou't of Arcaro's class.
It may have been only tradition but, then again, we like to believe that
the horse is not quite as good as his press notices and that he was probably
down too fine for the contest.
A Bit Of 'Tennis ...
TWO of Michigan's net stars were entered in the recently completed De-
troit city tournament but neither of them came up to expectations. Jim
Tobin, last year's tennis captain and winner of the Public Parks Tourney
in Detroit, was seeded No. 1 and Max Gurman, a graduate student in
physical education here, was the fellow Tobin had to beat. '
But when the curtain rose on the final scene Gene Russell, captain-
elect of. Western Michigan College's tennis squad, and Kimbark Peterson,
a 37-year-old math prof at Lawrence Tech, were in there battling it out
for the title. Youth was served and the unseeded professor was vanquished.
Peterson defeated Tobin in five sets in one of the semi-finals while
Russell took the measure of Gurman in the other. Both Wolverines,
however, were in the doubles finals which saw Tobin and Dick Prakken
victorious over Gurman and Irv Blumenfield.
More On Wakefield-18 Bit
ONE OF the University's outstanding athletes, and a fellow who's as good
a friend of Wakefield as we and our Detroit letter-writing companion,
stopped us on the street Sunday and asked where we had obtained our in-
formation on Dick's "bad habits." We showed him the letter we receivedt
and told him what we knew about it but our athletic friend wasn't convinced.t
, "The bozo who wrote that letter should be horse-whipped," he said.-
"Wakefield has no more bad habits now than when he was at school and up
until a week before he left for Winston-Salem he hadn't even had a date
in Detroit."
No matter what his Detroit activities were, however, things aren't
quite the same in Winston-Salem. There, according to all reports, he 1
lives at the city's most expensive hotel, spends a little time playing t
billiards and goes to the movies occasionally-no more. Dick went 0 for t
4 in his first Piedmont League contest but came through with two hits 3
in four times at bat in his second.t
More On The All-Stars

By PAUL CHRISTMANN
Dr. William C. Bagley, Professor
Emeritus of Education Teachers Col-
lege, Columbia University, in his lec-
ture yesterday aimed to summarize
the principal educational gains that
have been made in the development
of American education during recent
years.
He raised the question as to which
of these gains weushould attempt to
safeguard in the troublous times that
lie ahead. In attempting to answer
this, he pointed out certain criteria
that could be relied on as a basis for
judgment.
These are: a primary function of
American education will continue to
be the preservation and extension of
the ideals of American democracy
and what is now so frequently re-
ferred to as the "American Way of
Life;" any of the recent advances in
education that promise to sustain and
augment the productive capacities of
the American people, both agricultur-
al and industrial, should be safe-
guarded and extended; notable pro-
gress has been made in health edu-
cation-there should be no backward
movemdnt here.
't'he present crisis has shown clear-
ly the need for a high degree of effi-
ciency on the part of the workers in
a great many fields-not only high-
ly skilled craftsmen, but technologists
and technicians, physicians, psychia-
trists, nurses, and public health work-
ers, social-welfare workers and direc-
tors of personnel; a fundamental need
of a democracy, and especially of a
large-scale democracy, is a "commun-
ity of culture"-ideas, understand-
ings, and aspirations that are com-
mon to as large a proportion of the
population as possible.
Lists Gains
First: the development of the high
school as a non-selective school. Sec-
ondary education in many parts of
the country is as nearly universal to-
day as was elementary education at
the turn of the century. This devel-
opment has not been accomplished
without a relaxation of standards,
and to establish rigorous standards
for those members of each generation
that are competent to meet them and
to provide suitable high school pro-

grams for the others constitutes the
most serious problem of American
education today.
Second: The continued upward ex-
pansion of mass-education into the
junior college, which has been for
some time the fastest growing divi-
sion of the educational system. In
this connection, the possibilities of
providing greatly improved facilities
for vocational and particularly semi-
professional education are worth not-
ing.
Third: The remarkable develop-
ment of adult education both through
adult classes and by means of the
radio.
Teacher Education Advanced
Fourth: Very substantial advances
in the education of teachers, especial-
ly, during the past 10 or 15 years. The
country as a whole 25 years ago gave
less attention to the education of
teachers, especially for the elemen-
tary schools, than did any other com-
parable nation. It stands now well
toward the top, although our profes-
sional schools for teachers still fail
to attract their fair share of the
