Athletic
Contests
Number of Games
Should be Reduced
All Around
By PALL C. PHILLIPS. M. D.
T
BKLIKVË thoroughly in intercollegiate sport, but. in general,
viewing the number of athletic contests occurring between col
leges throughout the country, I should say unhesitatingly yes
to this question. The tendency of the last twenty years has
been toward the increase of intercollegiate contests in each
sport, and the addition of new sports, until the number has
passed the normal for an institution of higher learning. Sched
ules of over 25 games in term time in any branch of inter
collegiate athletics certainly transcend the laws of proportion
in college life. The general public recognizes that.
Any reduction in schedules concerns the scholarship, the physical
condition and the ideals of the men on teams and the ideals and finances
of the student body. All these factors should be given due weight, there
fore, in determining their length.
Of these scholarship, of course, stands paramount, but the views of
ilhlete, manager, trainer and coach should receive due consideration and
if possible a harmonious result obtained.
For training and coaching a team a certain number of contests are
accessary. Sufficient financial returns come only from a number of games.
The interest of the student body in the sport is maintained only by a
uodicum of exhibitions.
I
Tbe ideal number of contests in each sport may be considerably less
than that at present engaged in, but the reduction should not be made sc
tuddenly as to lose the support of all concerned. History may be made toe
f nst and have to be unmade. For instance, one may consider one game
>t baseball a week or ten in a season, the ideal for a college, but a rcdtic
'ion from twenty to eighteen the first year may be all that it would be
■vise to make. Schedules, however, should never be so long or require so
many absences as to make special legislation on the part of the faculty for
iihletics necessary.
This militates against the democracy of the college,

Pellagra is not hereditary.
Pellagra is not contagious.
Strong evidence points to the "sand fly''
as the agent responsible for the transmis
sion of pellagra to human subjects in Italy,
These statements are extracts from the
reports of Dr. Sambon, who was sent bv
the pellagra investigation committee to
Italy to investigate the pellagra situation
there. There are more than twenty hospi
tals for the exclusive care of victims of
pellagra in Italy, and Dr. Sambon carried
his exhaustive studies into the provinces of
Perugia, Home. Padova, Milan, Brescia and
Bergamo. He reports that the disease is endemic rather than epidemic,
and that the centers of infection have remained the same for a centurv.
He found that when a person affected by the disease moved into a non
pellagrous district no spread of pellagra occurred,
over, that wherever pellagra was, there, too, was the sand fly, and that
tillers of the soil who were most exposed to this fly were oftonest affected.
The sand fly is a midge, or gnat. Whether we have the same kind
tf sand fly in this country that Sambon studied in Italy the writer is
not prepared to say; but he is informed by a state entomologist that
have with us in the south a small gnat-like insect called the saml fiv. Out
sand fly, however, seems to be largely restricted to the coast country, not
penetrating very far inland, as a rule. The puncky of the Adirondack's
is one variety of said fly, also.
Dr. Sambon's theory is that the sand fly is the carrier of the
sites of pellagra, whatever they are.
has not been identified does not necessarily count against his theorv, be
cause no one now doubts the role of the mosquito as the carrier of vello'w
fever, despite the fact that the,genn of yellow fever has never been discov
ered. Are we about to add the gnat to the mosquito as the distributor of
a great disease?
All true southerners will pray that time may justify the sand flv
theory of pellagra transmission and infection; for, like our beloved Joel
Chandler Harris, whose tribute to the corn-meal dumpling is so full of
charm, we hope long to cherish the hoecake and the pone.
