How much mora then. was asHea. shou,o
the rule apply to college athletes who receive
greater compensation for their exhibition OF
strength and skill?
The football eleyens consisting OF amateur
athletes, played two hours and seven minutes
yesterday, and their college athletic associa-
tions VIII receive more than a1e 1000 each,
according to the business arrangement they
made with the Manhattan Athletic Club.
Martin. the professional bicyclist, rode
almost continuously for six days and nights
at the Madison SQUARE Garden and received
little more than o. 900 tor his exhibition.
Among those who commented on the busi-
ness character OF the enterprise were some
with old.fashioned ideas regarding college
athletes.
They said that the time was when college
athletes were content with victory and
Thought less of dollars. when they were Will
ing to contest for supremacy for glory
alone, and did not stipuiate that the
meeting should be in city OF
x,OOO, 900 inhabit ants, where $4,000 or more
persons could witness the game by paying
for 1t. They deprecated very much the
commercial character which college athletics
have assumed OF recent years.
