• There are those sports iotfo'wers who
believe that, in matters of sport, the Cana-
dian colleges have withdrawn. too much
within themselves, by limiting, mainly,
their athletic competition to inter -college
play. Some critics even go so far as to in-
timate that there should be, hi Canadian
college football, a "bowl" game between east and west, played
annually.
This writer is not in. agreement with such theories. We
believe Canadian colleges have struck a very sound perspective
in their survey of sports, by making study the paramount thing.
We think it will be a sorry day indeed when the only standard
we have for collegiate superiority is the ability to win at foot-
ball, hockey, or other games. Sports can be justified as sport
in our educational system only when played primarily for the
student body and by the boys who are enrolled through normal
channels. These boys should desire to play as a normal phase
of their collegiate life.
We don't believe the day will ever come .in. Canada when,
even in ratio, collegiate sport will reach the highly com-
mercialized status achieved, by the American football teams
In the myriad "bowl" games played on New Year's Day. There
were at least 12 of these in the United States, ranging frons the
Peanut Bowl in Georgia to the gigantic Rose Bowl show In
Pasadena. Over two million dollars was netted, and turned
aver to the competing schools and Conferences and associated
institutions that shared in the cuts.
That's all very nice. But if you happen to reflect on the
situation; and get beneath the money, the roses, and the
glamour, and the printer's ink so profusely spilled, it may
suddenly dawn on you that these things have no educational
value, that it may be an insult to the educational process to
turn college`'boys into a trained act to be trotted out before the
clamoring throng. But the golden ladle is there and the appeal
is apparently hard to resist.
So credit is due to those American schools which rejected
this last act of mass entertainment and told their players to go
back to their studies. This year's bowl extravanganzas were
bigger and louder than ever, but each year the available cast
grows more limited, as one smaller school after another, and
some of the larger schools, too, abandon an enterprise which
places the emphasis on physical power.
So we should be a little proud of the fact that Canadian
colleges permit no such commercialization of the students.
Studies are the paramount thing, sport • a pleasant side -line,
relegated to its proper place.

In the course of a long career
sial a sideline onlooker — both
geld and paying—at athletic pas-
times, we have seen various cit-
ies, towns and communities go
what you might call fairly' goofy
Over a variety of sports. In fact
when we consider some of the
igoings-on we have witnessed

professional athletes gathered

similar bunch wearing Argonaut

been inclined to think that the

heen reached.
But, apparently, such a con-
clusion would have been consid-
atrably astray. Compared to the
"say American basketball fans

nadians who bust a gusset over.

and without enthusiasm. As wit-
ness the following quotes from
a>New York Times article writ-
ten. by Kenneth S. Davis, who
lives in Manhattan, Kansas, deep
in the heart of the United States
basketball belt. Take it away,
Mr. Davis!
A student of that peculiarly
American phenomenon "sports
fever" could not do better, right
now, than visit this Kansas col-
lege town where everybody is
"nuts about basketball." The
scene here is typical of hundreds
of other communities over the
country, though there are few
perhaps where the mania is more
highly concentrated upon a sin-
gle sport. The syniptoxns of lun-
acy may be slightly more ob-
trusive this year than usual as

ently rated among the "top ten"

Etiquette
Q. Should the another of a
• bride -elect or the inotlier of her
fiance give a shower for her?
A. Neither one of these per-
sons should give a shower, as this
would be in the nature of in-
viting gift donations. Properly,
only close friends of the bride
should give showers for her.
Q. Is It necessary to mail out
engraved invitations to an open
house one is holding in one's new
home?
A. No; this is an informal type
of entertainment, and invitations
may be extended either personal-
ly or over the telephone.
Q. Is It all right to pick up .a,
chop bone with the fingers, when
eating at the table?
A. Never. If you are not able
to extract all the meat with the
knife and fork, then you should
sacrifice it.
Q. Shouldn't a man remove his
topcoat before starting down the
aisle of a church or theater?
A. Yes. He should never go
down the aisle disrobing. He
should remove the coat and place
it across his arnr before -starting
down the aisle. Should he forget
to do so, then he should wait until
he reaches his row of seats.
Q. Is it all right to mail out
handwritten wedding invitations?
A. Yes, if the guests are just a
select few. However, if the guest
list is sizable, I should think it
would be easier and better to mail
out the engraved type of invita-
tion.
Q. What is the proper thing to
say when you have f ailed to
understand or hear what some-
one else has said?
A. Either "Please?" or, "I beg
your pardon?" is accepted form.
Q. If someone asks you a ques-
tion at the dinner table just at
the moment you have put food
into your mouth, what should
you do?
A. Be sure to wait until you
have swallowed the food before
you attempt an answer. You
know only too well wbat it sounds
and looks like when one tries to
talk with food in the mouth.
Q. When an engagement has
been broken, is the girl entitled
to consider the gifts and engage-
ment ring the man has given to
her as belonging to her?
A. No; she should return all
these.
Q. When the folded napkin is
placed on the left side of the
dinner plate, should the open
edge be toward the plate or away
from it?
A. The open edge should be
toward the plate. .
