LVLRsHARP
SHORT AND SNAPPY
The average Michigan Union spotlight entertain-
ment is good and worth the mpney, the time, and
the support of students. Nevertheless, Union spot-
light committees frequently do not know when to'
quit. The intervals between acts are too often drag-
ged out to the limit of patient endurance, and the
skits themselves, even in what is inteded for a
short program, are thus stretched out so as complete-
ly to fill up a very long evening. Consequently,
the affairs become tiresome and the spectators
bored.
Two years ago, the Summer Spotlight, though on
the whole filled to the brim with good wit, clever
acting, and interesting skits, was, so long that it de-
veloped finally into a mere farce, a most boresome
bit of apparently laborious work on the part of the
actors and of tiresome effort to keep pleasant and'
laugh at the right time on the side of the spectators.
In short, it was a frost.
No intention is had here of defaming anyone who
took part in or, helped manage that entertainment,
for the work of all was apparently untiring, and cer-
tainly would have been most effective had the pro-
gram not been stretched out to such' interminable
lengths. Hitches will occur in the best managed
amateur program, however, and the most concerted
effort cannot prevent the intervals between skits be-
ing dragged out longer than is expected.
Fewer acts, then, and every one of the highest
available qiuality, is what we want. We like spot-
lights, but we do not 'want a good thing overdone
and spoiled. Enough is just right, and the man-
agement of this month's affair, in planning the pro-
gram, will do well to make note of the fact.

GROWTH OF ATHLETICS
("The' Wake of the News," Chicago Tribune)
Fielding H. Yost's acceptance of the position of
director of the new department of physical edu-
cation at the University of Michigan is significant.
Yost, at least well-to-do, perhaps independently
wealthy, gave up a more lucrative business career
for the, to hinfi, more interesting and more impo'rt-
ant work of developing young America physically.
The significance lies in the growing national rec-
ognition of the need for systematic instruction in
physical exercise. To "The Wake" it 'means a pass-
ing of the old time professional coach for the intel-
ligent and trained athletic instructor.
Stagg of Chicago, in the days when salaries were
lower than now, alwayssaid he had decided to give
his life to teaching college boys sportsmanship as
well as sport, rather than to acquiring money. Who
will say that men like Yost, Stagg, Huff at Illinois,
Toi'i Jones at Wisconsin, .and numerous others are
not more useful in the world than the mere accum-
ulators of dollars?
To have coaches of high standing- is one of our
hobbies. The high school and college boy receiving
athletic instruction is at a period when his ideals of
life are being formed. The coach naturally is a sort

A Foul Bawl
- A thrilling game of baseball was, played over in
n Kalamazoo the other day, when the team represent-
ing the insane asylum battled the Kalamazoo college
, outfit to a scoreless tie. In the ninth inning, the
, boys from the nut farm placed a man on third with
e, two men out and .the heavy hitter at bat. It was a
s tense moment,.and the stands were very ,still as the
- anxious college pitcher watcher the plate for his
- signal. Suddenly the silence was broken by the
y clear "Cock-a-doodle-doo !" of a rooster in a nearby
- poultry yard. As the first notes of this interruption
floated out on the air, the heavy hitting but light
- thinking pecan at bat dropped the stick, and with atn
expression of holy terror upon his simple features,
lit out for the gate. Consternation prevailed until
> the slugger's keeper explained to the infuriated au-
dience his great hallucination-he imagined himself
a kernel of corn!
- Which reminds us of the other asylun story in
which a visitor greeted a pompous looking inmate
with, "Well good morning, Napoleon."
N"No," replied the one addressed, "My name's not
f Napoleon. I'm Theodore Roosevelt."
i "But surely, the first time I was here, you were
r called Napoleon, weren't you?"
"Oh yes !" the gentleman replied, "But you see,
that was my name by my first wife."
