FOR THE GAMES SAKE! Of WliVRENCE PERRY New York, Feb. -0 ? The state ment from army athletic authorities at Wi -i Point relathe to a series of ^urrilous attacks" appearing iu I He daily press concerning aliened ille gitlmaie ami unethical methods of ind ueing famous college athletes to enter the academy is characterized by a definite note of irritatiou. Special reference is made in the Army stateim ut signed by Lieuten ant Colonel Kuchler executive officer of tin* Army Athletic Association, and Captain ,\l. 11. Hidgeway, gra duaie manager of athletics, to articles appearing under an Anna-, polis dale line. l*u ik ly iu the interest of contin ued athletic relations between the A I . : : y ahd AaVV the \\AU-V \ f.iai the West Point communique should not be permitted to pass without some discussion. Primarily it should be said that, Colonel Koehler and Captain llidge-: way make a perfectly well taken point when they say that cadets at the institution are held to a stricter accountability scholastically than ex- J ists generally among seats of learn ing. but how about this paragraph?! "It may be of interest to note that j the first intimation the authorities! at the Military Academy had cou-j cerning 'the flow of football starts'! to West Pc/int caine to them through! the public press in a number of ar-j tides all of which emanated from Annapolis." A point might be made here as to Just what constitutes a "flow." Cer tainly it was known at West Point that tin* academy elevens in recent years have benefitted by the ser vices of players who entered the academy with sectional or national! repu taln/as. Names sucli as Uli-I pliant. (Jarbisch Store k. French, and I Tiny Hcwii; ?? ? ? i readily occur. 1 ht- statement points out that! these appointments "are vested in; anil coiitrolied by the President, || Senators and Congressmen. " And "any charges such as contained in thi.-e attacks must ot" necessity! therefore, at least by inference, iu-j elude some of these gentlemen."] That is perfectly true The question is whether the.-e appointments were made iu tin- usual way and by for tunate cliauce a number of star foot ball players happened to win iu the customary competition: or whether IVngressuu u and others knew the ntviiiuu Mie appiiiiiimems qualified football players, or final ly whether certain appointment* wire suggested l?y c.Tficers of the Army interested in the success of the :ootbul! eleven. In any event, this is none of the public's business and no inherent; evil may be discerned ? unless it be true that applicants for admission to the academy are in some measuicl discriminated against in favor of football material. llut it would certainly appear that' the Navy ? po matter what the un-j derlying mc/tive of its three y?ar] lule ? has reason to feel that the Army, able to play first year .aen,i has undoubted advantage. Out of the whole thing one fact! is clear: the two institutions should! come together in agreement of one sort or another if a very fine and in-, spiring traditional relationship in \ sport is to continue without rancor, ? if. in fact, it is to continue at all. { - ?* - The Sportsman 'By * Walter Camp New York, Feb. 20 ? President Sills of Bowdoin, at the annual banquet of the Yale Club at Boston, declared that under the present robbing system students art? being turned more or less intc; automa tons." President Angell of. Yale, com-' menting on bis remarks, said "I agree with President Sills that the coaching system has been carried to an absurd point. We must get back to the point . where the men! play the game, and it does not de teriorate into a contest between coaches. Yale has been trying to persuade Princeton and Harvard to. do this without hope of success.* ' Harking back to President Hib ben's report of a few years ago, we! find the same condemnation leveled ugainst the grossly exaggerated over organization of the coaching system. There- are statements by Coach f Roper of Princeton along similar lines. Only a year ago Tad Jones sug gested at New Yt.rk that the coaches be relegated to the stand during a game, in order to develop initiative among the players. About the came time the writer published an article showing how. extensive the oVer organization of coaching had become. The probabilities are now that we shall si/on hear from Cain bridge and that "deflation" of coach ing will bt gin. Washington Team Training At Tampa And The Distance Between Diamond And Spectators Lends Enchantment Ity JOHN II. FOSTER (Copyright. 1921. By The Advanc?) New York, February 20? Wash ington is the metropolitan team of Florida because it trains at the West Florida metropolis ? Tampa. The ball ground is in the fair ground and the Washington* have a largo concrete stand to hold the spectators who assemble to witness tneir games. The stand is across , the race track from the ball ground and the distance between the game and the spectators lends enchant ment to it. That's why Washington trains there. Til .' diamond Is not so good that It might not be better. There is much hiiii In Tampa all' during the year and when the sun has got , through with the Tampa infield it is Jini'tlcr than a 8^ a biscuit. For i that reason the players who train , at Tampa feftl a natural hesitancy ' about sliding to bases. .

The attractions at Tampa are 4 many. There is the place where Ha be Ruth hit his Kre.1t home run when playing the Giants. It is a long vista that begins at home plate' jj and ends out in the dimness some where uear the slow flowing river that wends its way to the bay. j There is a superstition in Tampa] that the hall carried to the river.
