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. Others'Opinions 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.

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." yARRDREST RANDOLPH AND WABASH CH ICAGO COLLEGE DEPARTMENT -A-'H A TS, ,I4 I We have just received from, the Customs House an enormous shipment of Atkinson's Royal Irish Poplin Neckwear in a great variety of beautiful patterns anal colors, priced at $2.00 and $2.50 We now have the exclusive belling privileged for this highly desirable fabric. 308 So.
