YALE'S “ ROUGH PLAY.”
An Eighty-three MWan’s Analysis of
the Oft-heard Charge.
- John Franklin Crowell writes to
the Springfield Republican, in answer
to a contribution which appeared there
in its columns signed “Yale, ’64.” This
latter communication criticised the
play of the Yale Basketball team in
that city, and declared that this qual-
ity of rough play discredits Yale’s
whole record in athletic’ contests. Mr.
Crowell replied as follows:
“I beg to differ with him. Rough-
“hess is an essential quality of a game
of athletic prowess, and it is only a
question of degree. I have no objection
to anybody’s playing ‘a clean and gen-
tlemanly game;’ in fact, I admire LE;
but roughness and gentlemanliness
play different parts entirely in such
engagements. The policy of Yale is
usually to act on the aggressive—to
push the fight with more spirit than
her opponents. She will undoubtedly
appear rougher, by contrast, than her
rival. If Yale and the Yale spirit mean
anything as a type of college character
they mean equal conditions and fair
play in contests. On these conditions
and within these limits she always
means to make the most of the oppor-
tunity, That I take it, is. what our
whole civilization means, namely, that
on given conditions, opportunity is the
watchword of America. Now, if any
player or the team in general did not
keep within these limits and conditions —
(which is nowhere alleged), then it
was the business of the referee or
umpire to enforce the rules embodying
these conditions. But if the Yale team
respected these requirements of the
game, and won, then I think it is with
no good grace at all that detraction is
made on the ground of roughness in an
essentially rough game. Zeal may of-
ten be too strong to make sure of the
proprieties of the drawing-room in such
contests. Every player understands
that, and generallly leaves the matter
there; he thinks no evil of his antagon-
ist. But the delusion, for which every
Yale graduate ought to carry a loaded
gun, consists in the habit of mind into
which some have fallen of crediting
Yale’s athletic voctories to ‘roughness’
and her defeats to ‘superiority of her
. opponent’s team.’ That is rankest kind
of prejudice—it is not to be dignified
or sanctified by calling it ‘manners
or morals;’ the wrong is in the mind of
the critic, not in the manner of play-
ers. And I protest, therefore, against
the idea that aggressiveness and spir-
ited playing, however rough, short of
injury, are to be taken as detracting
an iota from the moral tone of any
team, or that Yale men are dishonor-
ably low in ethical quality as teams
because they play a rough game. Un-
less referees and umpires are dum-
mies, it is the Christian. duty of every
player to play as vigorously as the law
allows, knowing the roughness without
right playing could never win a man a
place on a team, much less win a vic-
tory for any team.’’

THE CHICAGO BANQUET,
An Enthusiastic Weeting—The Toasts
and Speakers,
One hundred members of the Chica-
go Yale Alumni Association met at the
University Club, Friday evening, Feb-
ruary 26, for the thirty-first annual din-
ner. The committee in charge had
spared no pains to provide an unsually
attractive program, and the appreci-
ation shown by the entire assembly
proved that their efforts were thorough-
ly successful.
That portion of the opening address
of President Washington Hesing, ’70,
which received the closest attention,
were his remarks on the need of in-
struction in journalism at Yale. While
referring to the graduate department,
he said: ‘‘History, advanced mathe-
matics, political and _ social science,
music, fine art and kindred subjects
have each a place. But the time is now
apt for at least one more, and it should
have definite recognition and applica-
tion. I refer to journalism. Do I assert
too much if I say that there is need of
cultivated brain and trained talent in
that line of work? It does not seem so
to me. The day of the penny-a-liner and
the man who lives by his wits is passed.
The scissors, the sensational reporter
and the Arizona kicker have no legiti-
mate place in the calling, nor have we
use any more for the mere politician
or newsgatherer.
“Risen to the dignity of a distinct
profession by sheer force or natural
ability in its ranks, what we still want,
what the colleges must furnish, are
especially educated men, in whose
hands the power of the press may be
intelligently exercised. Public morals,
public opinion and all the questions of
to-day are fit for the best writers and
thinkers that can be produced for the
purpose. And in all its efforts, present
and future. there is no greater accom-
plishment to which Yale University can
attain than in an undertaking such as
this—the putting forth of a race of cul-
tured journalists.”
Henry E. Mason, ’89, acted as toast-
master and introduced the following
speakers:

At the request of Senator Patton, who
paid a touching tribute to the late
James S. Norton, ’65, at the beginning of
his speech, joined ina silent toast to the
memory of the deeply regretted ex-
President of the Association.
The mention by Harvard’s represen-
tative of his pleasure in the treaty
brought to pass by Prime Minister
Brooks and Secretary Camp, was re-
ceived with tumultuous applause. Mr.
Lee said further: ‘‘Above all things,
the enthusiasm of Yale men for Yale
appeals to us.
“Only the noblest things are capable
of inspiring such devotion. How grand
must the University be that inspires in
its sons. such a royal love!’’ :
