Course in Pro Athletics.

Some time ago had the pleasure
Of printing extracts from a letter
written to me by an enthusiast In
sports. advocating that a course be
established at all the universities
where man could select the career
Of professional coach or player, and
still come out into the world with q
good general education, and If he SO
desired, fair training in the classics.
This at first seems to be tremen-
professional athlete? Horrors! The
critics would rise in arms. And yet
on the face of it, 1t seems at the pres
emit time to be the very best solution
those in charge of the universities
and colleges, and perhaps also the
welfare and health of communities.
OF course. new conditions may arise,
and new situations have to be met.
which would make such thing total
ly impossible, but let US now, just as
matter of interest, take for granted
that the University of x has
established the first course in pro-
with the announced and intended aim
OF turning out competent professional
performers, high-class coaches, good
teachers, authorities on sanitation
and hygiene. ETC., as well as educated
men.
The student upon entering would
choose his major sport, just as the
college freshman chooses his major
subject This major sport would prob
ably be in line with what he had been
doing at preparatory, or perhaps
something that came naturally to
him. Some men are born oarsmen or
ball players or sprinters, etc. By this
way, alone. the school would imme-
diately fall into groups. Each sport
group would be under the instruction
of two or more high-class experts in
| their line. Everybody would make the
tative team from the professional
school except for certain contests.
Besides the major sports, the in
coming student would elect two minor
true sense Of the word, but minor in
| the light that they would be Sec
I! ondary with the students. Besides
| that, he would be given a working
! that he would be able to teach 1t, If
much for the actual athletic side.
To those critics who would COM
plain of the spectacle of a number OF
grown-up and ambitious young men
| playing about in the field all day the
| faculty of the University Of x would
say that seven-tenths OF the work
and time expended would be class
room work.
There would be courses in hygiene
and sanitation, as coach or trainer
must know the value of keeping his
team clean and healthy. Courses in
first aid, and a little bit OF anatomy.
would not leave the instructor help
| less in the case of break or a sprain
on the field. Physiology would be
necessary, dietetics essential. The
good coach and trainer must know
what and how much to feed his team
to keep them in the best of condition
and prevent them from getting over
trained. Tho professional player must
know what he must abstain from and

toned among the second and thlro

cent thereof to go to the players Of
the teams finishing second and 40
per cent to the teams finishing third
Fifty per cent of the players share

surprise was sprung yesterday when
Robert T. Jones. the young amateur
of Atlanta. Ca, had the lowest score,

which began over the course Of the

one stroke more than Jones.
Jones feat was accomplished by al
most errorless golf. only one hole not
coming up to the mark. On his sixth
his drive went into the rough, neces-
stating. three strokes to reach the
green, where two puts made the only
six on his card.
Jones was paired with Karl Keffer

Service and Amateur Rule.

Somebody asked me recently If I
thought that the present chaotic state
Of the amateur rules was an outcome
of men playing on service teams and
once in while receiving money for
their services, when a gate would DO
shared. I answered at that time that
could not see the connection at all,
and I feel that the same holds good
now.
While there was at one time q lit
tie confusion as to the status Of the
man who played on service team,
the board ruled that all such men
should resume the amateur standing
held before their entering service. and
of course that cleared the situation.
AS for the men. the difference between
being in college and being In service
is so entirely different that cannot SEQ
where there Is room for the argu-
ment that man will wish to continue
in college on the same basis that he
was on the service team.
For one thing. he will have learned
a few things in his service games that
he never would in college.

Amateur Spirit in the Young.

The proper place to begin to instil
the precepts of good sportsmanship
is right in the public and elementary
schools, where the youth Of the coun-
try first begins to come in actual
competitive organized contact with
his fellows. After all, the amateur
spirit is what we make 1t ourselves.
Machines won't go without human
beings to operate them. There Is no
doubt that we do not educate the
child to be good sport, or perhaps
good loser would be the better term.
It is an interesting sidelfght on the
education of our school children when
we see that the man who stakes
money on the outcome Of an athletic
event is q better and calmer loser
than the college youth, who Is gen.
orally spelling for a fight when his
team is licked. That is direct re-
Election on our preparatory educa-
tional centers. II the youth OF our
country is to understand good sports
manship and the amateur spirit he
must be taught tho meaning OF those
things.
