MCCORMACK HAS
ADVANCED VIEWS
Would Confine Football Playing
Entirely to the Under
. graduates.

Chicago. Oct. ,1-"Confne football to under
gradua tes,,' says Coach Mccormack in the Inter
Ocean.
''This is my plan of getting rid Of the dis dis,
graceful travelling around habit which, this
ia ii more than ever before, has cast stigma on
college athletics and amateurism." Coach Nc
Cornack believes that strong corrective meas
ures should-must-be taken soon, and thinks
that barring professional school men from the
teams would go long way toward Fighting
many abuses recognized at present
81 am strongly opposed to all this running
ebou. from one college to another" said Nc
Cornack yesterday. at looks bad, and 1t Is bad.
It has an evil effect on the men and on the col
leges. This year especially, has been bad one
In this respect. It seems to me the colleges must
soon take stand to cut this kind of work
out absolutely. 1 believe that something will
be done before another year opens, and pc
leye the movement will start in the east.
- 1.-THE trouble could be met in two ways-in
the first place by outings one year rule on all
players, whether they be graduates or not ana
in the second place by passing rule prohibiting
all students in professional schools playing the
game.
. "Both of these rules would necessary to
meet all the present troubles. If both were
passed and enforced the game would be I'm.
proved, because then none but bona flde under.
graduate students could play, and we should have
the sport for the sports sake. Football Is
naturally an undergraduates game. The un.
dergraduates are most interested in the college
and readiest to support it just for the love OF
doing SO. -
las matters now stand IN nearly all the law
and medical schools in the country, almost any
man can enter them. Only three law schools in
the country require bachelors degrees for en-.
trance. At nearly all other institutions it is COM
pagatively easy for a man to. enter and pursue
work. If the game was confined to undergradu-
ates we would at least have the assurance that
all men on the teams had completed course in
some accredited high school or had successfully
passed the entrance examinations.
both these rules are already in force at Dart
mouth and their effect has been noticeable and
for the betterment of the sport"
| Concerning the prospects of his team the
Northwestern coach Is still loath to talk.
''It is too early" says Mccormack, ito make
predictions The team is in the forma tive state
and We cannot tell how it will come OUT
II do not believe Northwestern and Chicago
can ever rank with Michigan, Wisconsin. Mime
sofa and Illinois in material. These state col
leges ought to have, year in and year out. better
squads of material than Northwestern and Chi
cago can muster. In the first place. there are
no tuition fees at the state schools. In the sec
ond place. the candidates for the teams are
mostly men who have been raised in the country
and they are on the whole, bigger and stronger
than the city boys."S 49, -

EAST HIGH WON
FROM HAMLINE
Stubbornly Contested Game Not

By Kit,

Broderick is the undisputed hero Of the East
gh-Hamline game played at Hamlne yester-
day. He alone scored the three touchdowns OF
the East high and thereby won the winning
point in one of the most exciting and stubbornly
contested games ever played on the Hamline
field. The score was II to &c. but the figures are
no indication Of the sensational excitement of
the game, altho they show that something

touchdowns by straight bucking, Broderick made
his gains by securing the ball on tumble and

kickoff, and by carrying the ball for touchdown
on an end run in the last minute of play won
the game.

Ellery kicked off to Hamline and Central ram

which ended with the ball in Hamlne's pos
session on their 35-yard line. They gained their

up and planted it between the goal posts. The
