clusively proven at the Bulldog Sterling game played at Sterling last Friday. Even though Sterling carried off the larger number of the13 to 14 score, the Bulldog fighting prestige was not injured in the least. Friday's game was undoubt-

edly the most spectacular of the season so far. It is safe to say that the Bulldog's defeat was responsible only to a couple of disputed points in the game.

Bulldogs at the receiving end. Bull-dog "pep" and fighting spirit was at its height. Wells caught the kick-off and carried the pig-skin back to McPherson's 40-yard line. In a couple of downs the ball was soon on Sterling's 30 yard line. Here, Non-ken caught a fumble and carried the ball to the one yard line. Sterling's efforts could not stop the Bulldog determination and Wells carried the hall over the line for a touchdown on the third down. McPherson failed to kick goal.

The game proceeded with McPher-son kicking off and Sterling on the receiving end. By the advancement of 30 yards made In receiving the kick, and by gaining their ten yards for three times in succession, Sterl-ing carried the ball within seven

yards of their goal. In two more downs the ball was over the line and Sterling made her place kick plac-ing the score at 7-6 in favor of Sterling.

This time Sterling kicked off. The Bulldogs were unable to make their yardage and Nonken kicked the ball to the center of the field. Sterling failed to make the 10 yards and thus

the hall was forfeited to the Bull-dogs at their own 40 yard line. Here another of the spectacular points of the game was reached. Nonken made

part of the student body-- perhaps they were overcome by a desire for that form of repose called sleep

which they lose the preceding night by having to pore over unprepared lessons which had been left until after their return from the lyceum entertainment. But be that as it may, efforts on the part of the cheer leaders and the orchestra were of little avail.

Rumors are afloat that this week's mass meeting is going to bare some pep and a certain authority on the subject advises that everyone turn out and contribute his share to the cause.

ARE WE BARBARIANS?

Are we barbaric? One would na-turally answer in the negative when he stops to consider that college is the place where barbaric tendencies are supposed to be transformed into or exchanged for marks of civiliza-tion. A few tests might in some mesaure determine whether or not the aim has been realized.

The lack of art indicates barbarism according to one authority. Judging from the production of art, the greater number of us are barbarians. However, all men were not born to create art. If the average

Some individual might ask why It is necessary for him to cultivate an appreciation for classical music, good pictures, or beautiful statuary when a record of jazz music on the portable or a brilliantly colored magazine cover hold just as much enjoyment. The reason lies in the fact that art is the expression of the highest impulses and emotions of man. Art is beauty, and he who has produced it has laid hold on immortality. If this is art, what more could we ask for an influence for good and for an inspiration?

In art is found the history of the real man through the ages. It proves standards and directs choices: it is the touchstone of life. This is all character-building, which Is really the purpose of a college after all By a study of the beauty and philo-sophy of art new standards are obtained, and hence, an advance in civilization is made.

No other place offers the opportunity for cultivation of the appreciation of art that is found in a college of liberal arts. The world expects the graduates of such an institution to be examples of people who have an appreciation for the noblest and the best. It behooves the student of to-day to add that part in their general culture which will lead them upward, and which will become a part of the well-rounded personalities that are so necessary, if their influence is to felt in the life of today.

Sterling stiffened her opposition, It was the Bulldog's fourth and last down. Nonken was called back to carry the ball. In characteristic form, Nonken ran forward with the ball and attempted to dive over the Sterling line for a touchdown. The writer's opinion is backed by that of many spectators' when he says that the ball went several inches over the line, but Sterling opposition had pushed Nonken back by the time the officials had reached the spot. The result was the giving of the ball, to Sterling scarcely three inch-

the quarter was about an equal battle and the quarter ended. 14-13. Sterling's ball, just one yard from the center of the field.

In the early part of the fourth quarter the Bulldogs made a desperate attempt for a touchdown. Through a steady series of advances the Bulldogs carried the ball to within 18 yards of their goal and then lost it to Sterling. The re-mainder of the quarter consisted of several attempts on the part of both teams for additional scores by means of passes and end runs. The quarter resulted in no spectacular plays or outstanding gains by either side. The game ended, as did the half, with a score of 14-13 in Sterling's favor.

DR. BOWMAN SETS

FORTH BRIDGEWATER’S

ATHLETIC IDEALS

"Upon the appointment of Prof. J. W, Miller to the position of coach and director f athletics in Bridge-water College, the president of the College, Dr. Paul H. Bowman, prepared a careful statement of the ideals and aims of the college in athletics and physical education which commends itself to thinking students and the public most highly.

"A Statement to Mr. J. W. Miller in Connection with his appointment as director of Physical education at Bridgewater College:

"You have been appointed to the position of Director of Physical Education in Bridgewater College. In this capacity you will be confronted by a great many difficult problems but an unusual opportunity. We

have been ambitious in this college to assign physical education and athletics a proper place in our col-lege life and to develop such policies as will keep them in that place. We also desire to manage our athletics in such a way as to contribute our share to the proper solution of this problem in American education. The primary purposes of this college are moral, intellectual, and cultural and our interest in athletics is quite sub servient to these aims.

"We have employed you not as acoach for a few men but as a di-rector of Physical Education for the entire student body. Your status is that of a regular professor. Your salary falls in the regular salary scale of the college and your rank will be determined mainly by your post graduate study and your years of service in this college. You are responsible, not to an exacting graduate manager, nor to the sport loving public, but to the college administration, the general faculty, and the trustees, as are other mem-bers of this faculty. No professional coaches will be employed as your as-sistants. Such assistance as is needed in your department will be supplied as is done in other depart-ments of the college. Your success among the students of the college clean and wholesome habits.

"We are strictly opposed here to the exaltation of the athlete or of granting special concessions of any kind to a student wholly on account of his athletic ability. We want athletic skill and physical fitness to have due credit and recognition, but chief honor, exaltation, and glory belongs to the man whose intellectual and spiritual accomplish-ments over-shadow his performance

"It is necessary that you understand now that no student is eligible to represent this college on an ath-letic team whose habits of life tend to impair his body or dull his mind. Students whose academic perform-ance is below standard and whose spirit of sportsmanship is unsatis-factory will be promptly withdrawn from the teams. I am happy for the assurance which you have already given of your whole-hearted endorsement of these principles.

"Finally, I do not want you to rest under the impression that you are called upon to lead a reformation in this college. This statement sets forth no new policies to be es-

college for nearly twenty years. We welcome you to our fellowship and pledge you our full cooperation in a task which I am certain will bring you deep personal satisfaction and an opportunity for distinguished service."
