SAVE COLLEGE YOUTHS
Guard Boys Against Profession
alism While Young.
Dean Briggs Of Harvard Says Ath.

mar Schools - Cheering ls
Termed as Good Thing.

College boys can be saved from pro-
fessionalism I'm the grammar schools. Is
the idea expressed by Dean lie Baron
Il. Briggs of Harvard. chairman of the
athletic committee of the college, in his
warning issued to prospective college
athletes against playing for money, In
an address on athletics at Harvard.
He said:
"The ethics of athletics should be
like the ethics of anything else. If n
boy breaks his amateur standing, he
should be quick to say so and face the
music. I think that any normal Ameri-
can boy will play game of baseball
wherever and whenever he has the
chance. Often they get into semi.
professional company, and without car
ing much about the stipend they re.
ceive, accept money for their services.
Few boys realize what may be the fu-
ture effects of receiving pay for play
ing baseball.
"As a rule. q boy will keep secret
the fact that he has earned money for
ball playing. But sOmetimes-it may be
years In the future-the fact Is likely
to come to the surface ut q time when
the boy would give many times the
original amount If he could only blot
out his one slip into professionalism.
"The seriousness of playing for
money should be shown to the boy
when he Is still In the grammar or high
schools. Oftentimes they have mar
red their amateur records before they
even think Of coming to college. If
advice Of this kind Is impressed upon
the boys early enough, the danger Of
their being declared professionals and
ineligibles later In college life would
very likely be Obviated.
"There are some phases Of baseball,
practically accepted as institutions Of
the game, that IRE decidedly unsports.
manlike. Rattllng the pitcher is one of
these. The incessnnt talking Of the
players Is another phase that Is hardly
necessary. The talk does not encour-
age.
"Cheering is good thing. It Is Or
ganized and under the control of the
cheer leaders. But even this instItu-
ton can be mlsused. as II Is In football
games, when the cheers may make Il
impossible for the opposing quarter.
