Sentiment of Collegiate As

DOR of Abolition of High
SaI1ied Professional
AFTER ALL-YEAR TUTOR
BY EDWIN ]. POLLOCK

New York, Dec. 2s--The day of the
professional coach is passing, If the
sentiment expressed in the National Col
legiate Association meeting here yester-
day counts for anything in college ath-
letics.
In all of the thirteen annual meetings
OF the association rumbles OF discomfort
against the high-salaried sporting in
structor have been heard, but at the
session this year the rumble SO increased
in volume that 1t was audible above all
other reforms.
The faction favoring the abolition OF
the professional coach has as its most
able supporters Dean J. r. Angel, OF the
University of Chicago. in the west, and
DR.. Joseph f. Raycroft, Of Princeton, a
member of the War Department Com.
mission on Training Camp Activities, in
the east. both OF whom recommended
immediate and radical changes in the
present system OF college athletics.
Dean Angel was unable to be present
at the convention, but he prepared a
paper on the subject OF Reconstruction
Program for Physical Education In the
Colleges" which was read by Dean Small
another member OF the Chicago faculty
Defines Amateur
lie pointed out that under the profess
sonal coach, collegiate athletics bordered
on professionalism. He placed new
definition on the amateur when he said
an athlete sacrificed amateurism when
he went into game to win by any
means or at any cost.
The Chicago dean as did DR.. Raycroft
suggested that in place of tho profes-

sity heads. II is his planrto make the
coach an all-year-round member of the
faculty.
Unless there is sudden change of
heart and sentiment it will not be many
years before such a system as recon-
mended by tho radicals" will be in
stalled at all of our big universities and
colleges. Already the forerunners OF
the change are noticeable.
DIR. Al Sharpe, OF Cornell, is virtually
a member of the faculty. He is an all
year-round man and coaches the foot
ball, basketball and baseball teams. But
there are few men of the Al Sharpe
type.

out by the Ithacan officials. However, II
he Is or will be free agent there will
be many offers awaiting him. Under
the new system Sharpe is the kind of
man who will be in the greatest de-
mand. -...
There is an example of a year-round
man at Swarthmore. DR.. Leroy Mercer,
former Penn All-American fullback,
coaches the football team and the track
athletes and trains all other teams At
Chicago Alonzo A. Stagg is another
coach OF the same type.
Hugo Bezdek. former oregon coach.
was appointed last year as athletic d.
rector at Penn State. He coached the
football eleven and proved invaluable
in installing system Of mass athletics,
which was highly successful. He also
will devote some time to the baseball
team. although his duties as manager
of the Pittsburgh Pirates will limit his
time at Penn State.
Robby a Year Man
Lawson Robertson, at Pennsylvania
Is fast becoming a man of the Sharpe
type, despite the fact that he coaches
only the track athletes. Robertson
trains all the athletic teams, and in the
future. as he did before he was called
into the service, he will give consider
able attention to group athletics. He
spends the entire academic year at the
university
The reformers are after coaches who
are capable of training the mass. They
do not see the necessity nor the wisdom
of paying high salaries to Instructors
who train only a few and as they ex-
press ii, that particular few do not need
especial attention.
The suggestions made by Dean Small
for Dean Angel and the remarks of
Doctor Raycroft we're greeted with en-
thusiasm and the general opinion seemed
to stamp approval on the recommenda-
tions. but the National Association has
no power to make such changes. 1t can
only suggest, but its suggestions carry
the weight OF forceful backing.
