nutshell money made to run athletics
athletics run to make money; money
used. too. in upderand ways; boys
taught dishonesty the moment they
can catch ball or buck the line. The
whole proceeding is disgrace to
American education.
Can we bring college athletics back
to true snort and true ideals of honorf
There are two WAYS, and only two !:
Put them absolutely under the control
Of the faculty and abolish gate re-
ceipts. The first is feasible IN any
institution; only it must be no half
way measure. A mere faculty board
cannot control the situation as long as
thew do not also control expenditures.
The hired coach" and student
manager must go. Directly or
indirectly, they are at the bottom OF
most of the iniquity. Athletics shoula
be endowed, not commencement.
they cannot exist in their present
shape without huge gate receipts. YET
them be simplitied. The loss VI q lew

athletics have been. maze an integral
part OF the college course they have
been cleaner, and their influence upon
preparatory students has been less
harmful. The fact that colleges all
over the country are adopting this
method speaks well for the tut Ire. l;
Is to be devoutly hoped that the pre-
paratory s,nools will also take the
same step and remove the serious
dangers to which athletics IN their
institutions are exposed. Once treat
athletics from an educational point OF
view. and it will be possible to bring
into them some of the ideals OF eauca,
ton. Leave them as feebly regulated
part of undergraduate enthusiasm ana

be marked with the trickery ana
