PRESIDENT Of NAT|ONA[.lEAQJE
MAROONS
OF HIRING

Minneapolis, Dec. 1O.-Undcr the
caption. Subsidized Rooting,".. f.. b.
Johnson; editor Of the Minnesota
Alumni Weekly. In the issue circulated
yesterday accuses the University Of
Chicago Of falling into the heathen-
ish practice Of hiring claquers."
1T has been reported and con.
nrmed by Mi. Stage himself, that the
University. Of Chicago. Athletic assoc
citation refunded 81 on each railroad
ticket purchased by a student Of that
institution. for the, purpose of at
tending the Minnesota.C Chicago game
in Minneapolis" Mr.. Johnson says.
In other words. the University 81
Chicago Athletic association paid a
subsidity Of - to every student who
accompanied their team and helped
it on to victory. Moreover. taking ad-
vantage of q technicality, the same
association paid the expenses of its
band to Minneapolis"
Tho practice IL condemned by the
writer as the most demoralizinE fea-
ture connected with intercollegiate
FOOTBALL that we have aver known. The
practice:is to be classed with the prac-
tice which once obtained. Of paying
football players and has even less to
Justify it. Concluding, the alumni
secretary says: I'VE would not have
believed. had the evidence not been
no compelling. that any reputable edu-
cational institution could have fallen
into the heathcnish practice of hiring
