PRO FOOTBALL
. BLAMED AGAIN
Professionalism as Whole Charged
With Fall of the Notre Dame
Trio.

South Bend, Ind, Dec. 15.-As a
result of the suspension from ath-
letics of Garvey, Larsen and Hart
ley Anderson, three line stars, Di-
rector of Athletics Knute K
Rockne of Notre Dame may start
a movement among college coaches
TO discourage professional foot
ball According to evidence Sc
cured in investigating the cases of
the three Notre Dame men, the pro-
moters of professional teams leave
few steps unturned to induce col
lege men to enter the professional
game.
So serious has the situation be-
come during the last two years that
much trouble has been occasioned
by coaches throughout the country
in keeping their men free from
faint
The promoter does not wait until
the athletes are through with col
lege football, but, according to a
summary of experiences here. just
SO soon as a man comes into the
limelight he is approached by
agents from Chicago, Buffalo, sew
eral Ohio cities, and one or two In
diana towns, with propositions
which prove real temptations. Time
and time again Notre Dame men
have been approached.
Although the trio suspended by
Notre Dame failed to yield to the
desires of the promoters until after
the season closed. they finally took
a chance and were Immediately dis
covered and punished.
Because of changes frequently
hurled at Notre Dame in which the
university is accused OF fostering
professionalism, extra efforts are
taken by its board of control to
keep away the faint from the uni
Yersity teams
The loss of Garvey and Larsen
from the football team of 1922 will
prove a real blow to the local in
stitution because of the gradua-
ton Of most of the stars of this
years eleven. The result is that
RoclIne will have to rebuild a COM
plete team and while the material
at Notre Dame is unusually good
because of the system employed
here to develop athletics, he will
have a gigantic problem on his
hands TO equal the elevens of the
last four years.

goans will come to Milwaukee on
half dozen special trains. The

'vIATORS ANNEX
FIRST CONTEST
Lewis Institute Team Falls Before
Fast and Snappy Play by
"a to 10 Score.

Bourbonnais, Ill. Dec. 15.-St.
viator's basketball team started a
successful season last night with
the defeat of Lewis Institute OF Chi
cago in the opening contest Of the
year, by a score of "a to 10. The
team showed up well in the initial
game, showing the results Of Coach
Bushels work in excellent team
work and snappy basket shooting.
This was Lewis sixth game of the
season and its first defeat this year.
The Viatorians found their stride
right off the reel Lyons started
the scoring with a long shot from
the center of the floor, and Gagged
three more Immediately after this
first throw.
The Purple and Gold outfit then
proceeded to take a commanding
lead, which they held throughout
the game Lewis had but few
chances to score from under the
basket, being compelled to confine
their shooting to attempts from the
middle of the floor. In the first
half they were able to score but
one field goal. adding to this two
free throws, while the Viatorians
laid to their credit 16 points.
In the second half the Chicago
players attempted to stage a come
back, and for a time it appeared
that they were succeeding. But
their hopes were doomed to failure,
for after they had added six points
more, the guarding of the Catholics
held them fast.
Coach Bushell has a wealth Of
material at his disposal, only one
of last years team being lost.
Clancy and Lyons are playing stel-
lar roles at the forward positions,
with Mccarthy and MacLain as
guards. Two of this seasons re-

The majors are unalterably OPP
posed to present conditions, by
which, they say, they are COMPEL

The International league officials
decided at their annual meeting
Monday, that nothing could be done
to change the present arrangement
and asserted it would live for the
duration of Commissioner Lands
term of office-seven years.
The advisory council, however,
has the authority, under the rules
that govern everything in the ma
tional game, to amend the national
agreement as the occasions arise.
Judge Lands attitude and the in

HOCKEY rs NOT
A MAJOR SPORT
AT MINNESOTA

Minneapolis, MINI, Dec 15.-Al-
though not recognized as a major
sport. hockey will be played under
the institution colors. it was decid-
ed by the athletic board of control
of the University of Minnesota. Re
fusal to designate hockey a major
sport by the athletic board was
based on the fact that this winter
sport is not conference game, al
though it is played by several MEM
bers of the Big Ten.
Hockey officials were instructed
by the board to arrange a schedule
for this winter and map out a pro-
gram of appropriations necessary.
The question of granting letters to
hockeymen was held in allegiance
by the board, pending the success
of the sport from university point
of view.
