METZGER'S COLUMN. By SOL. METZGER. From Sol Metzger, Bedford, There has been more agitation and argument over college athletics since Uncle Sam entered the war than ever And the main evidences of this turmoil is brought to light in the questions of whether or not college sport should be continued? of whether it should be formal or in- formal? of whether coaches and train- ers should be canned or continued in office? and of just what to do about before in their history. gate receipts? Now none of this furmoil over cqj- used by war; the war e opportunity to bring to a head a long-planned reform in It but hurried a long-delayed collision between two forces in college athletics, if not in American athletics, which for want of better names we called the practical | and the ideal.

York, March 26.—Dealings in today were completely eciipsed the huge transactions in_Liberty nds, which reached’ record-breaking proportions. The demand concentrated in the second 4's, that issue changing hands in almost countless lots ranging from severnl thousand doliars to one block of $1,700,000 at 97.50. Quotations for the second 4's Were on an advancing scale from to 97.94, a maximum gain of $4- 100, first 4's sold at 97.20 to 97.70, an extreme gain of 78-100, and the 3 i-2's cre quoted at 98.49 to 99, a gain of §0-100. Total sales of Liberty bonds (par value) approximated $26,000.000, the second 4's contributing over $23,- 000,000, Extraordinary absorption of Liberty bonds was naturally ascribed to pub- lication of details outlining the next or third issue.

The slogan of those attacking college spart at this time is “Sport for all!” “The sport for all and ideal- ist—for their conception of sport is ideal—have , always been misunder- stood. The athlete and thése who have Backed our athletics have looked upon them very much as the nation Jooked upon those of its men Wwho wore wrist watches—up to the time we got in this war. They Were not altogether there as men; something was lacking. No one ever did just define what this something was. In this case the something, although not defined, was caused by the idealist— the man who was far-sighted enough to realize what sport for all meant to the nation—making the mistake of trying to kill our development of sport first before explaining his conception of it. He was at heart an iconoclast. We dld not like to be told that our pet hobbies in sport were all vrong. In fact, we discovered there was much more good in our sport, especiaily our intercollegiate sport, than had . even been planned for. The idealist never got anywhere. al- though his ideas were splendid, simply because he devoted more time to at- tacking that which existed than to proving his case. He sought to throw out the scheme of athletics the col- leges had developed rather than to use them and their very good qualities as an aid to his own just cause. There was the rub. There was and is his trouble at the present time as he uses the ‘word crisis with all its topsy- turvy effect on college athletics to set them aside for his own pet theories. He has been, most unfortunately, a - | most impractical man. ‘What the result-of all the wartime argument and action in regard to re_ forming intercollegiate “and college sport is going to be is a difficult pre- diction to make. One thing is becom- ing mor: and more a certainty. That is that intercollegiate sport, whatever its faults, will not die. The informal scheme of things tried at several col- leges met with sudden death and at an institution such as the U. S. Mili- tary Academy it is a fact admitted that even football cannot continue un- Ie]s the all-tmportant Navy game be playe But admitting that intercollegiate sport will not die it would be a pity if the sport for all idea met with an unlike fate. While it is ideal that in itself is no reason for passing it b We have already seen what a splend: response the intercollegiate athlete has made to the call of his country, hence the thought arises: why not more and more of such a thing until gradually all students get such a training? That is the big question and that is the question the practical athletic men must solve for the idealists. who have Jaunched sport for all. have dismally failed. It would be too bad if all this agitation in the matter of college athletics should fail to bring about re- sults or if peace should come and find us without an improved college ath- letic system. The mere matter of whether we have professional coaches or not? of whether we have training tables or not? and of whether other agitated economies are put into effedt or not? are ques- tions of little importance, aside from the object. The question is: whether we have nearly everybody in strenuous sport? or whether but a small per- centage, as in the past, is to Tepresent the college? If our war_time sport agitation results in sport for all the argument will have been well taken. If it does not then give us this result then all the agitation about reforming sport is mere piffle.
