THE GLORIOUS PAST OF HIGH SCHOOL DAYS
Of all insufferable people, one of the wo·rst is the bore who is
continually mentioning his ·past history. Who want.s to spend an evening with a girl who persistently talks about her boy friend back
home, . the places she has been, and how popular she was in high
school? Is it not equally distasteful to listen to the man who modestly admits that in his high school days (I'd call it daze!) he was the
"big shot" t;tar of the basketball team, or the recipient of straight
A's.
After all, we now are in a higher institution of learning and
should be looking forward, not backward. ·why comment at all on
past virtues and honors, for who is really interested~ If one really is
distinguished or :possesses ability in a particular line, he will not need
to broadcast the fact, for his talent will soon be discovered and acknowledged.
Then, too, the complexity of college life offers so many opportunities for recognition in the line in which you are interested that
it seems unwise to attempt to live in past glory. W ouM there be any
legitimate reason f<rr not continuing in college to receive the honor
and recognition obtained in high school if one's accomplishments are
of the same calibre? Obviously, no.
. If one lets past honor inspire him to greater heights instead of
bemg
.
, , overcome by them, there would be more doin"'
e and less ""'UShmg.
-"The Stoutonia".
Distinctive Critics
This is not a competitive contest; rather it is a musical festival
in which all bands and orchestras
will parti•cipate without a feeling
of competition, for the sole purpose of receiving helpful and constructive criticisms of their work
by outstanding men in the field.
·The critics are: Col. Vesey \Y alker a member of Gov. Schmedem~n 's military staff and director
of the famous American Legion
Band of l\Iilwaukee; John Paul
Schenk director and supervisor of
music in the public schools of
Green Bay, formerly a baritone
soloist ·with Brook's Concert
Band and at one time Director of
the Civic Orchestra of Portland,
Oregon.

Spring weather brings the

''Sarge'' Mish has been getting
his team organized with light
wor.kouts the past week. The
great amount of talent available
is ·certainly eneouraging, with
outstanding men from all over
Wisconsin. To piek out any of
them would. ·proba·bly be slighting
others wh<>m we have never
watched. However, most of the

this list : "Jug" Marsh, Johnny

Mish. Unferth and Broome composed the regular battery for the

Marsh and Johnny Bomb era were
outstanding first basemen on two

had batting averages that led
their circuits last year.

Platteville, River Fall£, La

The tennis team plans to travel

ASHMUN CLUB HOLDS
ANNUAL STORY CONTEST
Fritz Crisler who speaks in assembly today brings the type of
program the students have been
asking for. The only way President Hyer can tell what kind of
programs the students like is by
the turnout and response of the
student body.
Only nineteen more days left hefore trout season opens. The point
as to whether May 1 is a good time
to catch trout is one that has been
contested by many sportsmen.
However, the fact remains that
getting out there next to nature
for the first time and the chance
of hookinff a few. o~ those little
scrappers 1s the maan Idea.
With hi!\' league baseball about
to !>tart it looks as if the Ou'bs will
have the best chance in the National 1Jeagne if the pit chin~
romP~ up to even a fair degree.
The batting punch added by Klein
anrl Babe Herman's return to
form make the Brninfl a strong
team at the bat. Their pitching
has been poor so far but if the old
Yeterans have a fair season we expert the Cubs to come out on top.
Colle~e track men have begnn
work and prospects look fair. Oshkosh seems to he the team to beat
In track.
Collins says that what this
school needs is less Senior Balls
and more tennis balls. Sounds like
a ra.cket.

Boxing Instructor To
Referee Fights
Tomorrow, Friday the 13th,
(be-ware) the new college boxing
team gets its first test against an
equally new Platteville squad. A
return match here on April 21
will give students and townapeople a chance to see intercollegiate boxing.
Platteville picked its team in a
tournament last week before an
enthusiastic crowd of 800 fans.
After two knockouts and a bun-ch
of good scrrups the pugilistic
squad was picked. The Point team
ha'S been training for the past two
weeks, so the match -ought to be a
real high clas.s performance.
Joe Steinbauer, boxing· instruclor at the University of .Wiscousin, is to be referee. The bouts
are to be three rounds at two
minutes a round. To insure real
fighting there will be no draws
extra rounds. A winner is picked
by Steinbauer after each fight.
If .arrangements are c-ompleted
satisfactorily, Chuck Sparhawk
will meet the Platteville's local
hope in a five minute wrestling
bout. Probable matchings for the

. Sromn of the most interesting no-deciSion encounters were those against the
Hesperia Literary Society vf the University at Madison, the triangular meet
with
the teachers colleges from
La Crosse and ·oshkosh, Lawrence Cvllege and Ripon College.
The teams first entered the practise
tourna:nent at Illinois State Normal
Uni\·ersity, Normal Illinois. Here was
the fir~t indication of the season's success, for C. S. T. C. made the best school
record there, winning eleven out of fifteen contests.
Won Third.Place
For the successive yea1·, the Northwest Inter-collegiate Tournament at the
()allege of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnes:Jta, was entered. Here the combination
of Nuesse and Mills wo11 third place,
ll>sing cnly to Ha-stings College of Hastings, N('braska, in the semi-finals.
Hastings won the tournament. Among
the strong teams defeated in these contests were those from the College of St.
Thoma~, Nebraska Wesleyan University, Northern State Teachers of Aberdeen, South Dakota, St. Olaf's College,
anrl the University of South Dakota.
The squad won a total of ten out of fifteen d!lbates at this tournament.
Won 3, Lost 2
The feature of the season was participation as a petitioning college in the
national convention tournament of Pi
Kappa Delta forensic fraternity. Mills
and Nuesse represented C. S. T. C. in
dehate and Michael Zylka in extemporaneous speaking. Gletus Collins a ceompanied the squa"ll to Lexington ,
Kentucky, as alternate. H er e th e t eam
participated in the first five r ounds of
debate, winning three a nd losing two
contests. Outstanding teams def eated
were those from Baylor University of
Te:x;as and the University of Texa,g and
the UniVf!rSity of Puget Sound, ·washington. The trip to Lexington OC<'Upied the week of Easter v~ation, and
was interesting throughout.
Zylka Only Veteran
Zylka will be the only v et eran re turning next y ear, since Collins, Mills and
Nuesse graduate in June.
Mr. Burroughs will also have H anson and Porter to work with, th ese two men having
participated 1n several deb a t es th.is
season.
A number of G. S. T. C. Freneh
students will accept the special in- ·
vitation 0'£ the Department of
French and Halian at the University of Wisconsin to come t·o Madison April 14 as guoots of that Departm<mt. 'rhe F r en c h play

Eugene Brieux, is to be given on
that date.

Educational Theme
The theme treats the effeets of
higher e-ducation on the masses,
the difficulties of fin-ding opportunities to use this training, and
the prO'blems that arise in educat~ng yonth beyond its home enviT'O~lmPnt and the family. It is a
fl'lay of grip.ping interest thor0ughly rPalisti·c in its picture of
l<'rPnch village life. It should be
t'Spf'cially interesting to students
of third year French here, as in
their survey course this year they
have rt>ad plays extensively and
among them one by Brieux- Les
T'rois Filles de Monsieur Dupoint.
The play will be directed by
Proft'ssor Russo and include-s native French instructors in the cast,
in addition to other faeullty mt'm1H•rs and advanced French stuclt'nts. The opportunity to hear
good French diction and a fine interpretation is exceptional.
To See Art Collection
All guests will be invited to tea
at the French House- La Maison
Francaise - following the perfcrman-ce. An opportunity will be
g-iven to see the remarkable collection of fine picture-s of 134: famons statesmen and literary men,
such as Foch, Clemencean, Herriot, Claudel, Brieux, Curel, Valery, etc., which were recently autographed and presented to the
University of \Visconsin and are
now framed and on exhibition.

ON ATHLETICS
H. 0. "Fritz" CrUller, Hea.d Coach
At Princeton '' U'' Appears
In Assembly Today
In 1927, Amos Alonzo Stagg
wrote his autobiography, "Touchdown". On page 331 of that volume is the following sentence :
"Fritz Crisler, now an assistant
in my department, the man who
with Ca;ptain McGuire had boxed
Stanley Keck so effectively at
Princeton, played one of the
greatest games at end in my experience". That same H. 0.
"Fritz" Crisler, who is now Head
Football and Head Basketball
Coach at Princeton University,
will appear here at the regular
Thursday morning assembly at
10 o'clock today, April 12. Incidentally, we might mention that
he is the only man to handle both
major sports in a great University.
Game Too Rough
By accident, so the story goes,
Crisler went out for freshmen
football at the University of Chicago. His first afternoon with the
squad was spent, according to
Mr. Bill Cunningham, in the November 18, 1933 Collier's, ,break·
ing up interference from an end
position. ''That interference was
led by 'Big Charley' Higgins, 220
pounds of path-blasting fu'llback,
later a Chicago captain of AllConference luster. Higgins knock.ed Crisler almost into the bleachers everytime they collided. Barely able to drag himself into his
clothes, young l\Ir. Crisler decided
football was distinctly overrated
as a plea:sureable sport and he
quietly determined to fail to show
up thereafter". However, his absence was for only a period of one
week. Before his college days
were over he had received the distinction of being rated an AllAmerican football player, an AllConference Basketball Guard. and
a Varsity Baseball Pitcher. ,
Assistant To Stagg
l<'ollowing his graduation in
1922 he became personal aSISistant
to A. A. Stagg at his Alma Mater,
a position he held until 1930. In
that year he refused an offer to
go to the Univen;ity of ~Iinne;sota
as Director of Athletics but accepted the job of head football
coach. His teams there were successfuL In 1932 he took up the
reins at Princeton University.
The Bengals had just completed
thTee or four of the most demoralizing football campaigns in their
gridiron history. Look what happened at Princeton during the
past season. They outscored their
opponents 218 to 8. 6 of those
Rutgers was responsible for, and
the other 2 were chalked up by
Yale. They went through a schedule of nine games without a loss
or a tie to mar their record.

do have a southern drawl.
It
didn't take Nuesse long to acquire
it. Just listen to him some time.
We had the pleasure of staying
