Royal s. Copeland, Commissioner ofkthe

mentioned in the dispatch. AS soon as he
saw it in the papers he wrote to Chicago to
find out what il was all about The Chicago
Board of Health replied that the news had
been premature. They are conducting
series of experiments in conjunction with
the Board of Education, but at present thoy

If an abnormal child who has dropped be-

with the others simply by administering n
desiccated tablet, why shouldn't n normal
child, given the same dose or a stronger
one, advance several grades in school with

Middle West College Authori-

CHICAGO, Jan. 3o.-A fight by
coaches, athletic directors and Other
college authorities to clear football
in the Middle West Of the faint Of
professionalism Is under way today
A thorough house cleaning Il
promised.
Intercollegiate athletic circles
have been rocked by the expose thai

fessional game between Taylorvillt
and Carlinville, two Central Illinoi,
towns. last November. Ten Notre
Dame men are alleged to have PLAYED
with the Carlinville team. The
Illinois men are said to have played
in the Taylorville lineup.
Interest centered today in Notre
Dame. where athletic authorities
were to meet to consider charges
against various Notre Dame play
ers. Johnny MOZART, all American
hall. back and Gus Desch. football
star and member of the American
Olympic team, have made affidavits
that they did not participate In the
game in question. Chester wynne,
crack fullback also has denied that
he played at Taylorville.
According to reports reaching
here, the plan to induce the college
stars to participate In the game was
the outgrowth of bitter rivalry
between Taylorville and Carlinville.
two towns with a combined popu-
lation Of about twelve thousand.
II IL declared that thousands OF
dollars were wagered by the citi'
zens upon the rival teams.
Taylorville, II il said. learned that
Carlinville planned to use Notre
Dame players in its lineup. and
stole a march on It's rival by i'm
porting the Illinois men. Taylor
Vile won the game and Carlinville
went home broke"
Coaches and athletic authorities
at practically every school In the
Middle West have condemned the
Taylorville- Carlinville affair and
have pledged aid in the fight on
professional football among college
players. It is expected that the
next meeting of the Big Ten ath-
letic heads will discuss means of
stamping out the menace and OF
removing temptation from college
players which has resulted from
the rapid development Of the pro-
fessional game.

Several weeks ago the Chicago

These players were to be sent to Los
Angeles to close the Statz deal. Two
clubs. Pittsburgh and st. Louis, re.
fused to waive on Deal. During the
December meetings the Pirates tried
to make a deal for Chuck, but moth.
ing was accomplished.
Deal now seems to think that the
Cubs are playing a little inside poll.

Tom Thorp Turns Grid
Practice Into
Daily Fun

Tom Thorp, the new coach
at New York University, is the
kind Of instructor who has the
faculty Of making players re-
gard the monotonous grind Of
daily gridiron practice as fun
instead Of work.
When Tom was coaching the
Granite State eleven during
the war, one Of his players was
Joe Bond, the pugilist. Bond
didn't know much about foot
ball, but with the encourage
ment the coach gave him the
fighter quickly got into the
spirit Of the game. He en-
joyed It.
Before one game at the Polo
Grounds there was a dispute
about the length of the periods
the teams should play. Bond
heard the argument and asked
the coach what it was all
about. Thorp told him that
the captains could not agree
on the length of time of play.
"Cut out the argument" said
Bond, land let's play until it's
dark"

will mark the last Of the famous
old field before It is rebuilt to
the status of a stadium. will at

It is estimated. Already no less

Last year 112 colleges were

IL fully fifteen more than that
number, would enter this year.
