Madison, Wis, ct. 2-The faculty Of the
University Of Wisconsin has set the foot of AL
thority down hard against athletes who devote
themselves unduly to the gridiron while they
neglect their studies and. classroom work. Al

The method of faculty control Of athletes a
Wisconsin is somewhat unique. Whenever a
Instructor becomes convinced that an athlete
not doing justice to his studies or is ALLOWING
athletics to monopolize his time and attention
that athlete is reported to his class officer an
notice is served on the student and the coache
''that on account Of studies,' Mr.. So-and-So
10 temporarily discontinue training
The coaches quietly tell the athlete not to ar
pear for training and usually they ACCOMPANY
the notifcat ton with the advice to ply books di
igently."
