Harvard Athletes Mollycoddled
Too Much; Money Lavishly Used
Deficit $4,000 Sports Cambridge School Looks Threat
ening to Eastern Writer.

BOSTON, Jan. 24.-The thorough
and businesslike report of William II.
Garcelon, Harvard's graduate-treas-
urer, shows that Harvard athletics OF
1911 have placed deficit of little
over $4,000 upon the association, a
deficit as unwelcome as IL was unex-
pected.
There seems TO be but one answer
10 the riddle: that Harvard athletes
are being mollycoddled too much.
Driven 10 frenzy OF ambitious zeal
by the great interest evinced by the
public in athletic contests at Cam
bridge. Crimson hackers of athletics
have lavished money recklessly upon
preparation for sports and upon the
care OF the athletes themselves. The
layishing has been principally I'm foot
ball. A little over $4,000 was sent
upon football during 1911 NJ Harvard.
more money than was spent upon foot
ball during 1911 at Harvard, more
money than was spent NJ any other
university in the United States.
Everything Percy Haughton even
limited at desiring, was purchased and
enough assistants were employed
while the eleven was at home at Cam.
bridge which was during the entire
season except for the one trip TO
Princeton. To provide nearly every i'm
portant player with ''trainer-valet.
For years Haryard's athletics have
been supported by football and case
ball, the grldron spor> performing the
bulk OF the task Last years surplus
was over $4,000. but through the
Wholesale expenditures upon football
and the generous backing Of all the
other nonpaying sports at the univer-
slty. the athletic deficit arose and In
view OF the fact that last season Har-
ward enjoyed surplus OF over $4,000
the 1911 deficit looks mountainous.
When results justify the means taken,
everyone feels satisfied. but what did
Harvard get for her lavish outlay on
football?
With the sky the limit as far as
/ finances were concerned. with all pos
sible facilities for the developing and
conditioning OF players, and with per-
| feet host of candidates TO draw from.
did the Crimson sweep up the grid
/ iron? No, she lost TO Princeton, fiuked
a victory from Dartmouth. wilted be-
/ fore the Indians and barely held her
own with Yale.
All of this was hardly worth spend
ing $5O,949.S2 for. Football is game
/ for strong men, plucky men and men
qualified by nature to excel in endur-
ance. The game was not invented in
order that spindly youngsters might
be taken In hand by Jealous trainers
and coaches, fattened like the prodigal
calf and set in action on the gridiron
Some close followers OF the game
have advocated that the training table
be done away with. While this looks

like step in the right direction. away
from molly coddllsm, Il would be a
pretty long step To take all at one
time. There are plentyef other atten-
lions which might he curtailed, how
e'Nr.
Al many OF the leading colleges the
worshipping OF football players has got
TO such a stage that the star player
finds upon his graduation from college
that he is so used To being fused
over, rubbed and 'mothered. as far as
his physical condition is concerned,
that he actually suffers because he is
placed upon his own resources.
Colleges weren't built or designed to
create the dependent spirit; quite the
opposite. College sports. OF all things
on or of the university curriculum
pertaining TO college life, should
teach Independence and reliance
upon ones self.
With less molly-coddling of Har-
wards football candidates, the Grim
son would probably accomplish more
satisfactory results upon the battle
field each fall. Many OF the lesser uni
versities accomplish quite as much at
fifth or even less of the outlay Har-
ward squanders upon the game.
