B. McNerney | '“Sports for sport’s sake”— is the title of a most interesting editorial in a recent issue of the Living- Age. The author is a French man, Edmond Jaloux by name, and in this partciular article he treats of the over-emphasis of sports in internation competitions. The value Oi sporting events as a medium by means of which nations insure or I create peaceful relationship is, of course, recognised. “Still,” says rhe writer, “when we see how far the most innocent sports can develop the worst form of national vanity, we canot help regarding the future with a sombre eye.” Some time ago— the Uruguayans defeated the Ar gentines in an international football game in Montevideo. Previous to the game the Uruguayan parliament adjourned for the sole purpose of attending the event, while in Argen tina a mob stoned the Uruguayan consulate. Such passionate display of patriotism on the part of the two nations involved in a simple little matter as a football game is cer tainly omnious and not a bit far fetched. In this heyday of— collegiate over-emphasis of athlet ics, we might well take heed of M. Jaloux’s lesson. We ourselves can see how the physical overdevelop ment of an individual may lead di rectly to the violation of che prin ciples for which athletics and physi cal recreation were instituted. Hence the stadium becomes a circus tent in which the performers act prompt ed by some mercenary purpose or misplaced patriotism. The late Knute Rockne,— beloved champion of college athlet ics, believed in sports for sport’s sake, thougn many poinc out him and his teams as examples of the evil which present day university presidents are fighting in order to keep alive the waning Uame of scholarly ambitions.

If you think you know your woman just because you are married to her, don’t bet on it. This is the story of a man who thought he knew all about women but learned she knew more about men. —2. ‘ Shipmates” is the old story of the sailor lad who falls in love with che admiral’s daughter, but this is one lad who supplies plenty of action be fore he gets the reward of an appoint ment to Annapolis, and the favor of the beautiful daughter. The scenes for the picture wree shot at the navy battle manneuvers, and has a great sweep in Navy background. The cast is excellent with Robert Montgomery, Dorothy Jordan.
