WARTIME SPORT
By SOL METzGER.
From Sol Metzger. Bedford. Pa

From Sol Metzger, Bedford, Pa.
 While it is pleasing to note that Yale is coming back to the intercollegiate sport world it is somewhat disconcert- ing to notice in the announcement of this fact that Yale is going to eiimi- nate the professional coach, among other things. Presumably, if Professor Corwin's words are a fact, Yale will, in the future. have no need for men hke Johnny Mack and Tad Jones. This being so we can look forward to the day when Johnny Ovexton, Yale's re- cent great runner, and Cupid" Black. Ya1e's last great football leader, win be asking for leave from the Marine Corps and the Navy to talk with Pro- lessor Corwin.
 Yale has been attempting some sort of athletic reform during the lulI in sport at New Haven. but the result proposed will not meet with much ap- proyal. The game at New Haven was to do something big in athletic re- forms; so if the professional coach is to go Yale has done that to6 bar better than was to be expected What
 Yale has been figuring on doing in intercollegiate sports is much a mat ter Of g1ess. What she is going to do is matter of public record, if the 1 sse0IAGLAtEAS AONC-AtlJ 64ECA VQN Vy IQ- lessor CoEwin, Chairman of the Fscus- ty Athletic Board, is correct. But why such step?
 True, Yale is after financial reform in intercollegiate athletics. Comnner ciatism must evidently cease and tS gain the end the professional coach is to be discarded Jnt why YA&s should be seeking ecomcmies is beyond the friends of Yale. For many wears Yale has been paying small footbaN teams as much as five and six hun dred dollars in the way Of guarantees to appear in the Bowl before crowds close to 20sO6O. These oeher teams have financial troubles but just how Yale has them is difficult to see. Yale should have money to bnrn" in an athletic sense.

a relatively few players, but handicap
affairs permit the entire membership to
