CHICAGO GRAIy NARKFIr

Chicago, Feb,.-Sellers decidedly out numbered buyers in the wheat 4narket most of the time today. lessened general confidence in a higher prices being app parent. The market closed heavy, 1 5-S to 1-2c net lower with May 1.27 1-4 to l.37 1-2 and July 1-2O 5-8 to 1.20 3-4. Corn finished 5-S tot q l 1-8 down and oats of 3-4 to 11-S. In provisions the outcome was 10 to 20 cents advance.
 Almost as soon as the wheat market opened prices showed a tendency to de cline Downturns in foreign quotations had disturbing effect both on owners of wheat and on Would-be purchasers. It soon became evident that yesterdays persistent efforts to realize on holdings were being continued by numerous dealers. In some quarters, the desire was manifest to let go of May contracts to take July iustead of unfaNoralble weather and crop reports from the southwest.
 High winds and dust storms in Kansas led to a vigorous rally in prices in wheat in the middle Of the session but the ef- feet in market failed to last, and the closing was at about the days lowest lev el, with May down more than five cents compared with the top figures of yester- day. Taken as a whole, the volume of business was considerably reduced from the big total that has been the rule of late.
 Corn and oats declined with wheae and sa result Of reports that the interstate commerce commission has disapproved lower freight rates on grain from AIinne- apolis to the east Something of an offset was found in figures showing 300. GOO more hogs on farms than was the case 8 year ago.
 Relatives scantiness of offerings ma de Tovisions average higher.

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES
 LIKE MOVIE STARS

C'hica go, Feb. 17-Professional ath letes are much like movie stars who get paid for being heroes in that they they have a tendency toward laxness of morals and in thelr belief that they are entitled to special privileges. Coach Alonzo A. Stagg told students of the University of Chicago.
 Professional athletes arte q poor class to have ia University. he added, T don't say that all profes- sionals are of the unwelcome type but it has been my observation that this lack of restraint is one of the characteristics of a professional group.
 If professional athletes were al- lowed to play on college teams it would mean the breakdown Of disci- pline. Ii the players had a game on Sunday they might often be disposed to make excuses for not playing in thelr Saturday college game. The whole structure of college athletics would break down.
 All the moral and educational val ues of college sport would be gone You cant mix cash and character. The reason for inter collegiate athletics would disappear. College faculties would rot permit mixture of pro- fessional and amateur athletics. In- tramural athletics would be the one sport that could exist"
