Athletes Say They Took No Pay for Playing in Small Town Grid Scrap
Eight Football Players Con- feSS They Played for Car IinSviIIe. Mohardt and Desch Are Exonerated, Others Disqualified
By Associated Pres.

South Bend. Ind, January 30- Eight athletes of Notrs Dame uni versity, among them two all-Ameri- can football players, championship track man and captains of the bas- ' ketball and track teams, today con fessed to school authorities that they had played in the semi professional football game at Taylorville, H., last November which produced the biggest collegiate athletic scandal In the an- nals of American colleges.
 Immediate disqualification of each man was announced by the university officials.
 Those disqualified were:
 Eddie Anderson, Mason City, Iowa, alf-American end.
 Chester Wynne, Oronique, Kan, au-western fullback, selection of sev- eral football writers and star hur- dler, track team captain.
 Roger Riley, Chicago, varsity end. captain of the basketball team and star track man.
 Lawrence Shaw, Stewart, Iowa, varsity tackle and western cham pion shotputter.
 Harry Metre, Huntington, Ind, subcenter in football and basketball tcaptain, 1921.
 / Robert Phelan. Fort Madison. Iowa. sub varsity fullback.,
 Earl Walsh. Adrian. Iowa, sub var sity back.
 Dick seyfend. Carlinsville, I'll, sub end.
 The players made their statements voluntarily. They insisted that they received no pay and said they agreed to take part in the contest simply as Thanksgiving holiday lark and without knowledge that the affair was the outgrowth of town rivalry which became so acute that about $100,000 was said to have been bet on the game.
 After the "Irixer"
 In agreeing to play with the Car linville, H.. eleven against Taylor vile, the Notre Dame men were un- aware that the nine University of Illinois stars recently disqualified for their part in the matter were to play with Taylorville, they said. Satisfied that the men who confessed were the only Notre Dame students to be im- plicated in the scandal, the school authorities tonight had launched an intensive investigation to find who was the fixer" of the affair and what means were used to tempt the lads into professionalism.
 This man, if a student, will be expelled from school 1t was said The disqualification of the eight men, to- gether with graduations and disqua1i- . fieation of three other men recently for playing in a professional game at Green Bay, Wis, was looked upon as wrecking Notre Dame's chances in football, baseball and track during the coming season. Coach Knute Rockne will not have single regu- lar around whom to build his 1922 eleven, while little hope was held forth for successfully replacing the

Money Matches All

Money Matches All
 The primary object in all these affairs. of course, is to raise money for the poor and needy boxers. The champion hasn't over couple of million bucks left, and he needs something to tide him over a rainy day. There is no doubt in the minds of those who know but what Carp will fall before his blows again, and fall quicker than he did at Jer- sey City. Also there is little doubt but what Dempsey can cut Tommy Gibbons into more pieces than one finds in chicken la king. But Dempsey needs the jack, and Promoter Tex Rickard needs 1t, too. so the bouts will be forthcoming.
 As for the proposed Tunney- Carpenter scrap and the Gib- bons-Carp battle, these two prob ably carry a little bit of hazard ing. The consensus of opinion seems to be that Carp can beat Tunney, and the Gibbons Carpen- tier battle will prove the real thriller.
 If Carp really comes here and fights Tunney he will be going against man who was only a semi windup boy in the Jersey City ring the afternoon that the Flower of France got in the ring and did a perfect impersonation of chicken giblets by the time he had absorbed Dempsey's roper toire of punches.
 Dempsey Turns Author
 While the pugilistic business is suffering a financial depression. and while the movie game is undergoing stagnation; while the vaudeville engagements are fall ing down, and while circuses have signed the pledge not to carry around any more cham pions, Champion Jack is finding the going exceedingly monoto- nous. As a result, he has turned author and is getting some mon ey in the till from labors in this field. So prolific has his writ ing become that he may handicap himself by suffering from writ CTS cramp before he enters the ring against his next foe.
 In a recent dissertation. bear ing his signature, Dempsey ex- plains the caution he used against Carpenter. He asserts that he could probably have put him out in the first round at Jersey City. but that he had heard so much of the mysterious man-killing tricks that he had to go slow and not

 I've will stand for no taint or hint of professionalism here" he said. "Not even if it wrecks our teams for ever. We don't permit a man to play on any team unless he is well up in his studies and we won't permit any other rule to be broken.
 Illinois silent
 My only regret is that we didn't learn of this sooner. The first hint of it we had was in the Associated Press dispatches. Had Illinois Uni versity officials. when they learned of 1t, come to us frankly we would have welcomed their information and gladly co-operated with them in cleaning it up. When we read the first dispatches about the affair, we immediately telegraphed the Illinois authorities asking for any informa- ton they could give. We have had no reply. We sent a man to Car llnville and Tayloville to investi- gate. but his report is hardly needed now"
 Anderson, Wynne and Shaw were three of the most popular players in the school. Shaw was a campus idol and all were described by students today as the finest and fairest fel- lows who ever lived"
 Shaw told a fellow student that this was the first time in his life he had ever played football game on the violation of school rules. "Of course, I had to get caught the first time" he ruefully exclaimed.

to Tideborough was desirable.
Sabre bicycled in daily to Fortune.

ride to and fro had become a cur

There had once occurred to him

detached from, mysteriously sus-

that were his two worlds-his
business world and his home world.

and professional circles, a good
