IFOR THE GAME'S SAKEJ 5T WWRENCE PERRY N* \v York, Feb. 20 ? The state* iiK'iu irum army athletic authorities at Point relative to a series of scurrilous attacks" appearing iu the daily press concerning alleged ille-j gUimate ami unethical methods of inducing famous college athletes to tnter the ucailemy is characterized by a definite note of irritation. Special reference is made ill the Army statement signed bv Lieuten ant Colonel Koehler executive officer of the Army Athletic Association, and Captain M. 1*. IUdgeway. gra duate manager of athletics, to articles appearing under an Anna-, poli-. date line. Purely in the interest of contin ual athletic relations between the -.\i .v.\ ami Navy the U.iter :t-els taat the West Point communique should Hot he permitted to pass without some discussion. Primarily it should be said that Colonel Koehler and Captain Kidge- ! 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- j ing. But how about this paragraph?; "It may be of interest to note that! the first intimation the authorities; at the Military Academy had con-] cerning 'the flow of football starts' to West Point came to them through ( the public press in a number of ar ticles 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 the academy elevens in recent years have benefitted by the ser vices of players who entered the academy with sectional or national; reputations. Nanus such as Oli-' pliant. Uarbisch Storck. French, andj Tiny Hewitt ?,,i readily occur. 1 he statement points out that! these appointments "are vested in, and controlled by the President. Senators and Congressmen." And! "any charges such as contained in these attacks must of necessity therefore, at least by inference, in clude some of these gentlemen."] That is perfectly true The question is whether the.-e appointments were made in the usual way and by for tunate chance a number of star foot ball players happened to win iu th?' cu>tomary competition: or whether LVngresMiu n and others knew the men receiving the appointments were qualified football players, or final ly whether certain appointments wue suggested by officers of the Army interested in the success of the football eleven. In any event, this is none of the public's business and no inherent \ evil may be d-iscerned ? unless it be f| true that applicants for admission r to the academy are in some measure!' discriminated against in favor of (j football material. ? r Hut it would certainly appear that ^ the Xavy ? -no matter what the un- 1 |J derlying motive of its three voar f 1 tile? has reason to feel that the k Army, able to plav first year men, 11 has undoubted advantage. Out of the whole thing one fact;? is clear: the two institutions should js come together in agreement of one I sort or another if a very fine and ^n"i(i spiring traditional relationship in | > sport is to continue without rancor i I ? if, in fact, it is to continue at all. [ if and ends out in the dimness some where uear the slow flowing river that wends its way to the bay. There is a superstition in Tarapajj that the ball carried to the river. I (Continued On Page Seven) l| ^ut=. . -The. Sportsman 'By ? Walter Camp New York, Feb. 20 ? President Sills of Bowdoln, at the annual banquet of the Yale Club at Boston, declared that under the present coaching system student* are being turned more or less inter automa tons.'' President Angfell of Yale, com menting on his remurks', 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.' I Harking back to President Hib ben's report of a few years ago, we! find the same condemnation leveled against the grossly exaggerated over' organization of the coaching system. There are statements by Coach f Koper of Princeton along similar lines. Only a year ago Tad Jones sug gested at New York that the coaches be relegated to the staud during a game, in order to develop initiative among the players. About the tame time the writer published an article showing how extensive the over organisation of coaching had become. The probabilities are now that we shall scon hear from Cam bridge and that "deflation" of coach ing will begin. Washington Team Training At Tampa And The Distance Between Diamond And Spectators Lends Enchantment Ity JOHN II. FOSTKIl (Copyright. I Ml. By The Admncr) 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 large concrete stand to hold tho spectators who assemble to witness tneir games. The stand is across , the race track from tho ball ground and the distance between the game and the spectators lends enchant ment to It. That's why Washington trains there. The diamond. Is not so good that it might not be better. Thero Is much sun in Tampa alt during the year and when the sun has got , through with the Tampa infield it is harder than a s a biscuit. For i that reason the players who train , at Tamp i feM a natural hesitancy ' about sliding to hates.
