Pluck of Japanese Athletes, Sportsmanship of Both Competitors
And Spectators, Beauty of Stadium, and Impressiveness of

True sportsmanship, superb
athletic , spectacle and interna
tional good-will were amply
manifested in the 1932 Olym
pics according to Dr. James F.
Dashiell of the University psy
chology department. He taught
at the University, of Southern

The Olympic Games were im

"First, the athletic performances
themselves. Whether the phe-
i i
nomenai recora-oreaKing was
due to the ideal weather condi
tions or the peculiar condition of
the track in California, they
were thrilling as performances
from the first day to the last."
. Carr's Performance
One of the outstanding events
that Dr. Dashiell recalls is Bill
Carr's running in the middle
distance events. "While Carr
was running in a relay," he said,
ble, 'That guy isn't trying at
all!" But when they noted the
progress he was making the tone

the recollection of present self-

However, Harry Comer, of the

dent who years ago did main
tain himself in college through
this craft.
Unlike, his predecessor, the
present tuner has had only two

has set himself up as a piano
tuner, regulator, and repair

vised him to try for the state
heights far above his former
mark. Finally the stick was up
to fourteen feet. The Jap made
two valiant efforts, but knocked
the cross-bar off each time.
Draws Applause
"At last, on his third try, he
managed to clear it.' The crowd
gave him the biggest ovation of
the games. Even the judges of
other events neglected their par
ticular charges' efforts to watch
the diminutive Asiatic, and the
toss of the discus by a French
man actually went unrecorded
while the judge gazed at the
pole-vaulting.
'A further interesting example
of the sportsmanship of the
crowd was the case of another
Jap running in a long-distance
event. He had been lapped by
the entire field, and was hope
lessly out of the running, but
still he kept trying. Though he
finished much later than any of
the other contestants in his
event, he used up his last
ounce of strength to do so, and
had to be helped off the field.
And he was given a bigger
"hand" than the winners. In
Dr. Dashiell's own words: "He
exemplified the truth of the
words of the founder of the
Olympic Games, who said that
the honor is not to win, but to
compete."
There were only two' cases, of
bad sportsmanship in the Games,
and Dr. Dashiell regards them
as manifestations of personality
rather than nationality. And
the crowd again responded with
cheers rather than the boos they
would have given any American
in a given situation.
Good-Will Evident
In spite of . certain scoffers,
Dr. Dashiell insists that there
is a true spirit of international
ism generated at these games
He is of the opinion that inter
national good-will would be im

students at the University.,
With this encouragement he
made his formal application for
entrance to the University, stil
lacking a hundred dollars .for
actual expenses. His transcript
shows an excellent record as a
student at the institution for the
blind. . , . . :
Study Conditions Difficult
Lack of funds handicaps him
severely since it is expensive to
employ readers. In , order to
study more economically Hamil
ton does his work with a group
of his classmates whenever pos
sible. Since he has not had any
written tests, he is hesitant
about commenting on his pro
gress. He has secured no work up to
this time, but in the vicinity, of
his home he had regular employ
ment. He' states that he has
found some problems not cover
ed by his training at the blind
school but has been able to
solve them. Even more than
the average student, Hamilton is
dependent upon "bull . sessions"
for current local and foreign information.
Graduate Students To

The graduate students will at
tend the first dance of the year
given by their organization, the
Shirly, Graves Graduate club

lasts until 12:00 o'clock. This
function affords a real get-together
for all graduate students
so that they may come to know
one another better.
Each year the club sponsors

BASEBALL COACH
TELLS R0TAR1ANS
OF EXPERIENCES
Yankee Pitcher of 1913 World
Series Winners Describes
Exhibition Tour.
Bunn Hearn, Carolina's base
ball coach, gave a highly amus-
mg account oi the trip around
the world taken by the New
York Yankees after they won
the world's series in 1913.
Hearn, who was playing with
the Yankees at the time, related
his experiences in an informal
address before the Chapel Hill
Rotary club at, its regular meet
ing this week.
The Yankee victory this year
reminded the Rotarians the Yan
kees used to be plenty good
years ago, as, for instance,: in
1913, and they were wondering
how the New York team strut
ted its stuff then. Bunn Hearn
told them.
Around the World
The trip around the world was
little more than an exhibition
jaunt, Coach Hearn explained,
for, baseball being far more ad
vanced in America than abroad,
the foreign teams could not be
expected to offer enough oppo
sition to make the competition
keen.
In Japan, for instance, the
Yankees ran up about 30 runs
and then stopped trying, in or
der to give the Japs a chance.
They had a baseball diamond,
Coach Bunn said, "about as big
as a larere goods box. and the
centerfielder and second base
man had to play so close togeth
er that it was difficult to tell
which was which."
The team was . the object of
much .attention and admiration
everywhere it went, although in
most countries the natives con
fessed they knew little . about
baseball, Coach Hearn said.
Before leaving the States, the
team made a thirty-day tour,
playing, the Chicago White Sox.
There were sixty-seven in the
party and the receipts were
around $100,000. . They were
exhibition games, of course.
