PROFESSIONALS
AND AMATEURS
MUST NOT MIX
Both Glasses Injured by
Merging; Would Show
No Leniency

ANN ARBOB, Mich. Feb. IA
Separation of professional and anna
teur athletics was advocated by
President Marion l.. Burton OF the
University of Michigan. in a state
ment here today bearing on recent
revelations concerning the profess
sional activities Of athletes in mid
west colleges.
Cnder certain circumstances, how
ever, he stated. it might be possible
TO allow college students to play
professional baseball TO finance their
education.
"If colleges were to allow pro-
fessionals to enter their athletic
ranks. they would mot only detract
from the interest displayed In the
amateur sport for It's own sake. but
would also greatly detract from the
interest In the professional game
President Burton stated.
The professional and amateur
games are two distinctive classes
and should be kept entirely sapar-
ate"
"The poor college student who can
earn a large salary by playing base
ball during the summer months has
every right to take advantage of
that opportunity" he continued.
"but after he has done so he can
not return to ameteur sports in col
lege while we are playing under the
present conference agreement. There
is a possibility, however, that special
consideration can be given to cer-
tain students who find that profess
sional baseball in the summer time
offers the only source Of revenue to
continue their college work. IL such
an agreement is approved by the en-
tire conference. II would be II deli
cate point to handle and could be
easily abused"
Until some provision has been
made for special cases, there is no
excuse for showing offenders leni-
oncy."
President Burton also condemned
the practice of college alumni offer
ing financial inducement to high
school athletes to enter various in
stitutions.

The only way TO handle wrestling
is without gloves. Chicago had had
more unfortunate experiences with
the mat game than any other city in
the counuy, possibly excepting New
York,
FCE years Chicago was the wres-
tlcrs paradise, and the wrestling

others since that time, OF course,
but nothing on so huge a scale.
These are hard days for the wros-

of-way from High Street to the High
School grounds thru the Serpell pro-
perty parallel with Pike Avenue. The
Board of Education didn't come to an
agreement with George M. Serpell
who owns the property as to the price
so trespass notices were put up, and
since the hill has become so slippery
and injuries have been sustained by
some of the students the patrons have
become aroused and have petitioned
the board to take action. l.. L. Ben
nett has appeared before the court
and has secured temporary injunct-
ion which will permit the use of the
supposed right-of-way.
