COLLEGE HEAD DEGREES
HIGH-SALAR|ED COACHES
II. b. Ogilby, of Trinity,
Scores Stars Who Use Rcpu-
tations for Financial Gain.
IBy Associated Press. ]

BOSTON. MASS, Dec. 2i--The emu
dchcy of college football stars To be-
come coaches at big salaries after
graduation was dccricd today By
ircsiden, X. Il. Ogilby. Of Trinity
College. New England representative
III .the National Collegiate Athletic
Association.
Pointing out that Intercollegiate
competitions inspire intense play, In
contrast with the ask off fire tina,
marks contests between professional
teams. he added:
1T is small wonder that II is the
college stadium that is always filled
10 capacity for a big game.
me difficulty comes when this in
tense interest in college athletics Is
exploited by individuals and organi-
cations for its money value. TO my
mind the chief problem in college
athletics today Is not the cndcavor on
the part OF individual colleges TO Of
fer financial or other Inducements TO
strengthen their tennis. Colleges
with ideals do not do this and. so far
no means have been successful In
preventing colleges with low ideals
from accomplishing It,
The greater problem Is when pres
sure is brought to bear upon an atE-
lete who has made e reputation as q
'''''b' amateur tb use MS pToWtSS
later for financial gain. 1t is not a
good situation when a griliron hero
gets "A salary running into four or
1--WE figures as II coach for three or
Tour years after graduation.
1T is not good situation when q
man goes into college athletics large
ly TO build up a reputation which he
may use later on professional teams.
The fact that college athletes very
shortly after completing their col
lcge season enter the field OF pro-
fcssional sport brings serious prob
lens. We may say that the infiu-
cnce 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 foot
ball"

AND BACKS EVEN As
PILOTS OF 1922 GRIDIRON TEAMS
Returns Show 10 to 8 III Choices for Captains of Next
Years College Football EIcvens-Leaders
Must BE Tacticians to Make Good

The question is often asked which
makes the better captain for Il foot
ball team, the man who plays on the
line or the one who plays in the back
field. 1t has been maintained that
man in the back field has Il better
chance OF watching the other team.
hence is in Il better position to Judge
what il coming off, and as a general
thing. this is true. says Vernon Van
VcsS. in the New York Evening Tel
cgram. However, in these days Of
modern football, the captain does
not conduct tho field operations. as
in the oidcn days.
\ smart quarter back is the essen
tial of any team that aspires TO
championship class. The quarter is
the man who directs play, who
watches the moves OF the enemy and
diagnoses his play; who formulatcs
his own actions upon the basis Of
what the other team is doing, on how
the opposing line is placed. Conse-
uuently, il is not So important to
choose a man from the back field for
the leaders position.
With only a small part OF the re-
turns in from the various colleges
OF the country. whcr" captains have
been elected for 1922. it is. nevcrthc-
less. possible 10 judge with fair eN-
actncsS. whether the line will rule

the backiicld men Will. on the re-
turns of twcnty-ciGht colleges, If

Thus. out Of thirty-two colleges,
which have so far elected captains.
the distribution between line and
backncld is even. But the backhcld
has very often been placed with the
greater number OF representatives on
the list OF captains. and there are in
dications that this will rule again
this year. when all the names arc In.
though il is by no means certain.
From time to time. there is y decided

TO the Fem State game he admitted
shat the offer he received from tho
Yankees looked the best and he de-

the local American Leagucrs.

He played great game on the Perm

IN" attention of micro than one big
league scout by his great work. lie
declined the offers at the time. hav-
Ing in mind his desire TO play ono
more season of football with the
Penn state team before he was
graduated. He easily earned the title
as the best quarter back OF the year

greatest all-around athletes ever
