College cheer leaders are potential crooked politician*, according to fto- feasor George B.

Professor Howard sounds a warning tgalnst the youth who starts the ihouts when his favorite half back lives across the goal line for a touch- town. He also offers sharp criticism tf those who stand up and "root" when they get the signal for the col- lege yell. , Sees Link With Politic*. "Who can justly doubt that the par- tlsan spirit or 'emotional set' fostered during the school and college years is a powerful subconscious support of American partisan politics ?" asks Professor Howard. The Nebraskan goes on to stigma- tise the "emotional set" as follows: "It Is the seminary in which, the, athletic claque-leader la to training for ___________ the shady trick* of. the 'ward-heeler' DESIRABLE | °r *be 'city boss.'" "The cheer leader," Bays Professor Howard, "stand* orx the level of the jimmy, the'toe hold;' the card trick* the stuffed ballot box, tainted news, or the campaign canard." "At singular example of mental per- version, an absurd and immoral cus- tom tenaciously held fast in mob- mind, has Us genesis in the partisan seal of athletic spectator crowds/' the educator asserts. VI refer to the prac- tice of organised cheering, known In college argot aa 'rooting.* From every aspect it is bad. "It robs the athlete of his due meed of honest praise. The spontaneous burst of emotion is discounted by the artificial clamor. At best. It must be' rated as a cunning »uggestion Intend- ed to sta^t contagious and irrational applause in the hypnotized mass of* onlookers." Professof Howard affirms that inter- collegiate athletic contests ate a men- ace and should be aban^jened because they lower the moral tew of the emo- tions. RAISING $40,000 FUND FOR HARLAN'S FAMILY Washington, Aug. 15.--Washington society, as welt as the legal profes- sion here, is interested in the move- ment on foot to raise a fund for the widow and daughters of the late As- sociate Justice John Ml Harlan of the United States supreme court, who left his family practically penniless. Justice Harlan sacrificed a fortune by his long service on the bench, and, unlike bis sometime as* soclate, Chief Justice Fuller, who died worth upward of a million, Justice Harlan's estate did not total $8,000. The members of the bar who prac- tice before the supreme court are get- ting up a 940,000' fund. Attached to the circular which has been sent out soliciting subscriptions are the names of leading lawyers, including Senator Root, Joseph H. Ohoate, Francis L. Stetson, William Nelson Cromwell and John O. Johnson.7 Bach signer of the circular has personally con- tributed $6,000 as a starter. Justice Harlan was survived by his widow, who is an inralld, and by three daughters and three sons. erably frequented by ^old-up ,(mep Ty was driving in his automobile, with hi* wife, to the railway station to go east with! the Tiger*. Appar- ently the men hail stationed! them* selves behind a building waiting for a quarry. According to Mrs. Cobb, when the motor car slowed down to round the corner the three men,* .who' were partly drunk, rushed out, leaped on the running boards of the car and demanded his money. Ty stopped and let go with both fists and a good batting eye, knocking out one man with the first blow and sending another scurrying Into the dark beyond. While he Was attend- ing to these two the other got a grip on him not permitted In the rules of - polite wrestling. Ty was rapidly getting the better of him when the thug whipped out a knife and used It, ' giving Cobb two slashes In the back. This only increased Cobb** fury and he finished bis man up in short order. Then he jumped into his car and hurried to the depot,, telling no one but his wife that had been wounded. Mrs. Cobb this morning declined to talk about the case, stating that she • knew her husband would dislike very much to have it gain any publicity. "It was an unfortunate occurrence that could not be averted," she said. "The Injury was very slight. If any more, is said about the matter it must come from Mr. Cobb himself. I know he would be very much put out if the newspaper* published any- thing about It." MEAOACHE MEDICINE FATAL.
