New York. Dec. 29.---Tbreats that
rnIess q noticeable improvement were
forthcoming in the conduct of college
athletics they would be taken over by
the various faculties under an intra.
mural system we're made at the auuual !
meeting of the Society Of Directors Of

G. L. Meylan, Of Columbia University,
and DR.. Edgar Fauver, of Wesleyan.
The meeting was held at the Hotel
Astor. :,
"Unless the evils Of professionalism,

rimental to the scholastic standing OF

Meylan. who is professor Of physical

DR.. Fauver, who, in addition to
coaching many Of the athletic teams at
Wesleyan was great athlete in his
day, also deplored the lack of ethics in
college sports Of the present, and added
that II something was not done TO cor
rect these evils he felt that "intercol-
legiate athletics should be strapped al
once"
These addresses we're Of particular
significance, coming as they did less
than twenty -four hours later than the
remarks Of General Palmer +. Pierce
to the members Of the Football Coaches
Association on Tuesday evening. At
that time General Pierce spoke strongly
on the subject Of improper prosely-

whereby grown men taught young
schoolboys to lie, cheat and falsify."
Since General Pierce Is president Of the

subject will again come up, for discus
sion at the annual meeting Of that body
today at the Hotel Astor.
In continuing his remarks DR.. Mey-
ian stated that extrava gances in the
conduct of college athletics TODAY have
gone beyond oil bounds.
TT costs as much to maintain a
hngle player on a college football team
today as II did an entire team few
years ago." he said. "It Is pretty gen

taken over the control of athletics from
student and graduate managers, and
the plan has been uniformly successful.

DR.. Meylan also declared in favor of

Fertilizers Will Pay
Under Present Costs

In spite of the fact that some
farmers claim they cannot afford to
buy fertilizers at the present cost Of
these materials when the prices Of
farm products are low, figures pro-
duced by R. E. Stephenson of the
Soils and Crops department Of the
Kentucky State College of Agricul-
ture show that corn could drop to
so cents per bushel, wheat to rs
cents and hay to so cents per hun
bred pounds and the use of limestone
and acid phosphate would still be
profitable, even at their present cost.
Experiments conducted on different
soil types of the state were used as
a basis for computing the figures.
According to Mr.. Stephenson the
strongest argument for the use Of
limestone and acid phosphate is that
phosphate is that these materials
win enable the farmer to grow good
legume crops and to keep the fer
tility of his soils up to a high state
of production, When times improve
the fields will be in a position to
produce good yields and profitabls
returns because they have been kept
in the best condition.
