New York, Jan. IA. - Professional
football must go.
This was the edict of tine National
Collegiate Athletic association at its
winter meeting here recently.
70 curb what was looked upon as a
menace to the growth of football as a
national sport. university legislation
was urged to rescind the letter Of any
college football man who participated
in the professional game after he fin
iShes his course.
The western conference fired the
first gun in the campaign by adopting
this defense.
other universities and groups no
doubt will follow in the same trail but
not all of them.
VIII Start Fisht.
Many of the western and southern
officials do not fear the professional
game as a cloud that threatens the
life of the gridiron pastime.
Among them is Coach Livingstone
who has habit of turning out cham
pionship teams in the Ohio conference
for Denison university.
Colleges would OF thing of re-
scinding the diploma of graduate who
was guilty OF some civil breach. Why
then should a football player be de-
prived of an earned letter for COM
hitting an alleged sport offense?" he
said during the recent meeting.
Ohio Now Center.
Ohio is the center of professional
football The game has grown to a
fixture there not because the fans pre-
fer it to the college game but because
they are peculiarly situated in that
they haven't the chances that eastern
fans have to see high class collegi-
ate games.
Some of the delegates from the
middlewest deny that professional
football is a disgrace.
They also argue that similar legis-
lation should be enacted against base
ball players who turn their talents to
profit on the diamond and against
salaried coaches in the universities
who employ their knowledge to mer-
cenary ends
