FOR PURER locals
IN COLLEGE SPORTS
Meeting at Columbia, Mo-. May Re
suit in .Abolishing Paid
Trainers.
PROFESSIONALS NOT IN FAVOR.
Sentiment of Educational Leaders
Seems to Be in Favor of Letting
the Youth Set His Own Pace
in Amateur Athletics.

It is the opinion of leading thinkers. who
have given the subject due attention, that
college athletics in The West will profit
much from the convocation of college presi-
dents and professors interested In athletics
held at Columbia last week
While il does not appear that the call for
the meeting was issued upon remarkably
broad-gauCeG principles - certain potential
institutions being willfully or otherwise ig-
nored-it seems that the results obtained
were more than commensurate with the
means through which they were brought
about.
Doctor Hetherington, the athletic director
Of Missouri State University. advanced
sound and practicable ideas at the meeting.
These IDEAS won the powerful approval of
Brother Justin. the head of the Christian
Brothers College of St. Louis.
The chief and most commendable of Doc
tor Hetherington's ideas was the ellison
Of the professional coach and trainer from
college athletics and the inculcation of a
code of high honor. rather than the win
at any cost principle which has been
made rather prevalent in American col
leges by professional coaches and trainers
who had their own personal aggrandize-
ment, rather than morality. honor and
athletics at heart. ia
The new force in Missouri athletics.
Brother Justin, principal of C. B. c.. is a
man of some distinction. AS principal OF
Manhattan College, New York. he was
recognized in the Eliot-seth Low-Brad-
ey-Hadley-Doherty class Of educators
and thinkers. He established colleges in all
parts of Europe. and came into attrition
with some of the greatest statesmen Of
England. France. Spain and America. He
is recognized as one OF the leading philoso-
piers and logicians engaged in American
schoolcraft. In him college professors of
the Mississippi Valley will meet a man of
heavyweight championship class" to use
an athletic term.
Brother Justin highly approves of Pro-
fessor Hetheringtons plans and ideas The
Christian Brother is unalterably opposed to
professional coaching and training, to any
thing that savors Of dishonorable or unfair
methods in sport. He believes in what Is
right, and willnot suffer compromise with
wrong.
So far the Columbia programme is only
in tts incipiency. There will be further
meeting in Columbia and then one at Chi
cage. in which the college presidents will
come to an understanding about the gov
eminent of athletics in the West.
1t BODIES well for college athletics in not
only the West. but in America, when men
like President Jesse OF Missouri State Uni
versity, Brother Justin. Father Rogers of
ST. Louis University and Professor Hether-
ington take them out of the hands of mex
perienced schoolboys and equally inexperi-
enced young members of faculties. More
will be heard of this Columbia meeting
anon.
