OF the coaches and athletic direc-
tors favored the granting OF such a
right.
In all probability some definite ac-
ton will be taken on this question
by the Big Ten officials before the
start OF next season.
The Southern intercollegiate As
sociation recently met at Atlanta 20
settle a number OF questions relative
to the sport as conducted in the
south.
Fourteen Of the leading colleges Of
the south. comprise the organization.
Here is the action taken on the sum-
mer ball question in the south.
NO student hsll BE eligible to
participate in any branch Of athlet-
les at his college who has played
summer baseball for more than his
expenses as designated in the rules
OF the National Amateur Athletic
Union. And no stndent shall be al
lowed TO play on any team even for
expenses in any baseball league un-
der the jurisdiction Of organized
baseball"
The Southern intercollegiate As
sociation has made a move in the
right direction oiNthe question OF
summer baseball but hasn't gone far
enough.
There Is no reason why a college
athlete should not have the right 20
play ball during the summer for
Z pay. II he Is proficient in baseball.
he should not be denied the right TO
pick up some money in that direc-
tion, money which may be necessary
to him in the completion OF his
studies
The Southern Association grants
the athlete the right TO play ball, bu,
only for his expenses. such a rule
makes for evasion. II also causes
the athlete to double cross the truth
To play merely for expenses means
nothing. II permits the athlete "a
accept compensation under the head
Of expense. II promotes deception
on all sides.
The athlete should have the right
10 play. II he has the right to play
he should be permitted TO accep
pay. Otherwise. he should not b.
given such a right.
No player should be permitted t'
play in any league under organized
ball. However. there seems TO be M
4 good reason why an athlete shoul'
be deprived OF a right to honestl.
earn money because OF his athleti
proficiency II given that right n
should be permitted TO accept pay
rather than say he has a right q
expenses only. which can be made L
cover a multitude Of sins.-B. r.
