gone. He was the president and
he ought to know. Adverse weather
conditions bothered the team some
and a lack of interest in the team
itself joined in with Its dirty work.
Professional football was . new
thing. too, for the Capital. It will
take more than q single season to
work up interest in the professional
game.
Over in Philadelphia, though, Lee
Conway has been handling the bust
ness for two years with apparent
success, and Philadelphia is no easy
town to satisfy in any line of
sports. He doesn't belong to the
professional association. but he has
been invited to attend the meeting
and 1t is believed that the Quaker
City will have team in the asso-
citation next fall. t-
But, before Conway joins the
association, he's going to do some
talking "for the good Of the order"
II those gentlemen present are
wise, they'll Listen. II they're
wiser. they'll adopt many Of his
suggestions.
T" HE other day Conway had a
talk with "Tiny" Maxwell,
the widely known football
official and "Tiny" indited the fol-
lowing interview for his popular
column in the Philadelphia Even
ing Ledger
Before joining the American
Professional Football Association"
said Conway, 81 will insist on the
adoption of some rules. which must
be strictly adhered to. Professional
teams must keep their hands off
college athletes who have not yet
completed their college work. By
that mean no offers shall be made
to players to leave their teams to
play on Sundays, and do not be-
lieveI 1t Is advisable to use q man
who has played his last game of
college football and still is In
school.
"By that I am referring to the
case Of Herb Stein, of, Pittsburgh.
Stein ended his college football
career on Thanksgiving Day and
came here q souple Of weeks later
to play. There was nothing under
handed about It because Stein did
not participate in any other line of
sports, but the best thing would
have been to wait until next year
to sign him. The Killinger case
was different. The Penn State star
was through with all forms Of ANA
teur athletics; he had signed to
play professional baseball and that
made him ineligible for basketball.
Killinger graduates on January 81.
Another thing to be guarded
against is the publishing Of lists
Of players when only . few appear
at the games. The public must be
protected. and these false lists are
harmful to the sport. The eligibil-
ity rules. however. are most inipor-
tant. We must not make overtures
to college stars until they have
been. graduated"
HERE'S a lot Of sound sense
in Conway's words. The
Washington club for instance.
was handed q stiff Jolt, when GER
tain players were advertised a.

form. Tim Jordan was fooled,
probably, but the explanations got
nowhere with the fans who jour
