CHICAGO HAS A
FINE SYSTEM
Michigan Alumnus Says that
There Is Much PROSECUTING
Going On.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-While freshmen cannot play
football on the college teams of the confer
ence colleges this fall, this does not mean that
there is any less interest in these fellows than
before In order to keep within the spirit OF
the new rule prohibiting the use Of freshmen
on the teams, which rule meant to dis
courage the PROSECUTING of these youngsters, the
coaches and managers have not been so open
in their work of counting, but just much
counting and coaxing has been done as ever
before.
been very "coarse'' during the past five years.
and it was the gross coarseness Of this solicit
ing that induced the faculty committee to pass
the new rule. This rule is fat failure so far
as stopping this pursuit of young athletes is
concerned. Alumni are just as active and the
business agents of the universities are just as
alert before. Just as many young high
school and academy boys will get first-year
scholarships as last year. AS Michigan alum
nus explained it yesterday: The fact that these
young men cannot be used on the football teams
this fall makes 1t all the easier for the adj
vance agents to get in their work, for to the
public generally there is not so much present
interest in these young athletes" Continuing,
he said:
81 know that Michigan alumni are Just as
active last year. Our organization, which
We are proud to say is a superb and loyal
one, is doing just much good for the old
maize and blue as in any other year. And
Michigan is not the only school active. Uni
yersity of Chicago boosters were never SO well
organized as this year. Just day ago
