OPPOSES BIG
SALARIES FOR
Grid COACHES
President of Trinity College Doesn't
Want Star TO Consider Money
Value,

| Boston, Dec 24-The tendency o.
! college football stars to become
coaches at big salaries after grad
uation, was decried today by Presi-
dent Remson B. Ogilby of Trinity
college, New England representa-
tive in the National Collegiate Ath-
letic association.
Pointing ont that intercollegiate
competitions inspire intense play. in
contrast with the lack of fire that
marks contests between profess
sional teams, he added:
1T is small wonder that it is the
college stadium that is always filled
to capacity for a big game. The
difficulty comes when this intense
interest in college athletics is ex-
plotted by individuals and oTgani-
cations for its money value. To my
mind, the chief problem in college
athletics today is not the endeavOr
on the part OF individual colleges to
offer financial OF other inuuce-
ments to strengthen their toms
Colleges with ideals do not do this
and, so far, no means nave Deon
successful in preventing colleges
with low ideals from accomplish
ing it
THE greater problem is when
pressure is brought to bear on an
athlete who has made a reputation
as a college amateur to use his
prowess later for financial gain. 1t
is not a good situation when a grid
iron hero gets a salary running into
four or five figures as a coach for
three or four years after gradua-
ton. 1t is not a good situation
when a man goes into college ath-
letics largely to build up a reputa-
ton which he may use later on pro-
fessional teams. The fact that
college athletes very shortly after
completing their college season en-
ter the field of professional sport,
brings up serious problems.
I'VE may say that the influence of
such college men as have gone into
professional baseball has been for
the best interests of that sport, but
that may not apply to football

FRANCE PLANS
NEXT OLYMPIC
IN BIG STYLE
Government and Municipal Council
Of Paris Appropriate Funds
for Event.

Paris. Dec. 24.-If the French
government and the municipal
! council OF this city can bring it
about, the Olympic games to be
contested here in 1924 will bring
to France the greatest gathering OF
athletes the world has ever seen,
and they will appear in the most
artistic stadium ever erected.
The year 1924 looks like long
ways ahead, but the French believe
in beginning early to make their
preparations.
The government has decided to
ask the parliament to make an ap-
preparation of twenty million francs
for the games. The municipal
council of Paris is willing to spend
fifteen millions.
Even with the franc cut in half
in the worlds markets. the COM
bined sum thus appropriated will
mark a new high record for Olym-
pads.
The government has decided that
the general supervision of the
games shall be in the hands of the
ministry OF foreign affairs. The
reason for this is that the govern
ment feels the Olympiad of 1924
should be a manifestation of the
worldwide pacific effort for the i'm
provement of humanity.
AS SO nations are expected to
take part and as official invitations
will be sent out by the government,
ii was deemed best for the minis
try of foreign affairs to handle all
the preparatory work.
VIII Build New Stadium.
1t has already been decided that
the games will not be held in the
Pershing stadium, which is one of
the legacies left to France by our
army. Instead. in the Auteuil sec
ton of greater Paris an entirely
new stadium will be erected.
In the meantime, the thought of
the transportation companies will
be concentrated upon the subject,
so that street car, subway and ON
nibus service will all be capable of
carrying the crowds which are ex-
pected to attend.
Although this has not definitely
been decided upon, there is a prop
osition to arrange the contests in
three periods. If this were done,
the winter sports would take place.
in February or March in the noun
tains - either the Pyrenees. the
Vosges or the French Alps.
The second period would occur
in May and would be devoted TO
and Rugby football.
Finally the Olympic games proper
will commence about June % and
last month.
AS this is the high tide of the !
season of American travellers. it is
believed the number of Americans !
in attendance at the games would |
break all previous world records, |
as it is confidently ex-
pected that America will send a !
very large band of contestants for |
lonors.

BOB MARTIN IS

Hard Broadway fans look at the

Unless Martin has to meet some

JOE RAY NOT
TO QUIT SPORT
If RULED OUT
Has Ambition to Become Profess
sI0nal Boxer-Bat Nelson OF.
fers His Services

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Joie Ray. feet
+ runner of the Illinois Athletic
club. and member of the 1920 Amer
lean Olympic team, declared today
that he will not desert athletics,
even if suspended by the A. A. L.
following the filing of charges of
excessive expense accounts.
Should Ray be suspended, he
stated that he would take I'D pro
fessional boxing and believed that
he could soon soon become one Of
the stars of the ring. He said he
had done much amateur boxing and
II forced to turn professional,
would put himself under the guild
ance OF a real manager and seek to
become sparring partner for Jack
Dempsey or one Of the other cham
piOns.
Inc charges against Ray result
ed from his participation in three
meets last winter in New York, the
first being the Wanamaker games
on FEB. 8, and the final being the
meet of the Guarantee Trust Attn
letic club on Feb. 10. Mrs. Raw ac-
coInpanied him on the trip. The
rules of the A. A L. state that an
athlete must not be in the CITY
where any meet is held more than
one day previous or one day later
than its date. And the A 4. L.
provides only 81 a day for ex-
penses.
hay declared that he had never
thoroughly read the A. A. U. rules
as pertaining to amateurism ami
was unaware of the two provisions
against remaining in a city over a
uay' OF OF the amount of the ex-
pense accounts. He naturaIIv in
ierred that the organizations inyit-
ing MIN TO stay in New York, and
cordially extending him the invi-
tatlon to have Mrs. Ray accompany
MIN, would be conversant with the
rules. So he said he had no idea
that he was violating stipulations
OF the A A. U. when he took Mrs
Ray with him and showed her the
sights of New York.
Battling Nelson, former light
weight champion, said TODAY thar
he was interested in the threatene,i
entrance of the professional boxing !
game by Ray, and wants to be his +,
teacher and trainer.
Nelson said he could tell in two
months work with Ray whether or /
not he would advance in the fistic |
sport.
And I'll tell him the truth" Mel
son said, land if he won't do, 1 |
won't mince my words, but if he i
shows class, then I will do all | |
IAN to assist him in getting to the
front"
