The rawest Of the popular meth
DDS of getting athletes into col
lege is the loan" A man who has
made a big prep school reputation
as half back wants to go to col
lege. SO some enthusiastic alum
nus or some alumni chapter or or
ganization Tends" him enough
money to get through college. He
signs notes in due form-which are
shown If there is any yell raised.
He isn't required to pay interest on
the notes, and nobody expects that
he will ever pay back the money.

rules and for all the lodging that
is being done, conditions are grad
ually improving.
What the colleges need is:
First-More careful scrutiny by
the responsible heads of the col
lege of the athletic doings. College
presidents would not tolerate ath-
letic crookedness in their colleges
If they knew about it. But too
many take pains that they shall not
know about it, and too many more
are Indifferent.
Second-An appreciation of the
fact that, in the long run, athletic
crookedness doesn't pay.
Third-The development of the
spirit of amateurism and of the alb
horrence that any gentleman should
feel for any crooked methods, ath-
letic or otherwise.
Fourth--A reform of conditions
in the prep schools, so that so many
good athletes would not be made
ringers" before they even got into
college.

a FEW days ago the Cincinnati

that they would never allow

feeble, too old to ever fight any

All of which has caused Bat

that Nelson wrote me a few days
ago, asking II the boxing game was
flourishing here in Atlanta. If 1t
was, the Battler wanted to come
down here and do some milling.
Before l had found time to reply
to his letter. the Cincinnati papers
came out with the announcement
of the boxing commission there
that they would never stand for
him fighting in the Brew Burg.
AS a result of this announcement,
Nelson sent me the following let

T athletic conditions again"
a prominent prep school
football coach whispered in our ca
pacious ear the other day Give
EN- thunder. They are worse rot
ten than they ever were before
hiring players, buying players and
all such stuff"
No doubt all he said. and much
along the same line ne didn't say,
Is painfully true.
Prep school athletic conditions
are unquestionably bad. And get
ting worse. Players are hired like
farm hands We don't know this,
but it's true and can be proved by
anybody who is willing to make the
effort.
A man who owns big prep
school told me once: I'VE hire play
ers. Sure What's wrong with
it? There's no rule againet it. We
don't belong to any association. We
don't violate any rule by playing
hired hands.
Look here" ne added, 1--WE got
all my money tied up In this school.
I've got to make it pay-and | do.
The way | do 1t is to advertise
with winning team. A team that
cleans up means added patronage.
If | have a winning football and
ha I iNNs, of
to cut out my newspaper advertis-
ing ! can fill my school without
it,"
There YOU have winning
teams pay; there's no rule against
it. Therefore, hire players!
DONT ask me the solution-and
- don't fatter yourself you
know one that will really solve.
The first step and the one that
should have been taken years ago
is to form a prep school athletic
association along the lines of the
:. L. A. A. That would do some
good, but not lot. You can't wipe
out wrongs with laws. as reformers
have been finding out for years.
Then what?
Goodness knows!
Until you can make the men who
have their money tied up in schools
appreciate that, in the long run,
professionalism in prep school sport
doesn't pay, there will be no lasting
reforms.
At the rate progress has been
made in that direction of late years
the desired reforms will be effected
about thirty seven hundred years
hence.
Please don't understand from
this. by the way. that all schools
are doing things they ought not
a lot of schools I'm Georgia and the
surrounding states are clean as a
polished diamond in athletics and
in everything else, And lot of
them aren't.

What can you expect OF a lot of
boys who get paid for going to
prep schools to play football and
baseball? Naturally they expect
something out of going to college.
And do they get it?
Frequently.
When they accept money for
playing on college teams-accept II
directly or indirectly-they have to
sign an affidavit that makes them
out liars The s. l. A. A. requires
the affidavit. If they tell the truth.
they are declared ineligible-so

Tests Confirm Dancer Of Common Stable Flies

e URGEON JOHN r. ANDERSON
y and Past Assistant Surgeon Wade
H. Frost of the United States public
health service have completed exper-
iments which confirm the contention
of DR.. Milton J. Roseneau of the Har-
ward Medical school. that infantile
paralysis Is communicated by the
stable fly.
At the International Congress Of
Hygiene and Demography here re-
Gently DR.. Rosenau described his ex-
periments. He infected several mon
keys with infantile paralysis. and ex-
posed them daily from the time Of in
oculation till death to the bites of sew
eral hundred stable flies.
Twelve other monkeys were then
exposed to the bites of these flies. At
the time that DIR. Rosenau made his
announcement six of the twelve had
developed symptoms characteristic Of
infantile paralysis. OF the six. two
died, three were paralyzed and one
recovered. In the cord of one of the
monkeys were found the characters
tic lesion Of infantile paralysis. The
cord of the other dead monkey showed
changes less characteristic of the dis
ease. At the time Of the announce
ment a SUFFICIENT interval had not
elapsed to determine the result Of the
attempt to transmit the infection Of
other monkeys by incubation with
