Have some OF the over-zealous
alumni. because OF so-called loyalty
to their college. been responsible for
most OF the trouble that has crop
ped out in college athletics?
From the investigation that have
made into the present muddle, Il
seems TO me that such Is the case.
I unearthed a half dozen cases where
the alumni rather than the faculty
or coaches. were al fault.
That college athletics need a
house-cleaning east and west is ap-

closures have come from the west.
However. I cannot believe that the

BILLY EVANS SAYS

II feel that all the real rottenness
in college athletics has not yet come
TO the surface" he said. Interest
Ing developments Will be in order un-
less some OF the colleges quit on
the Job OF house-cleaning.
Some boys who have violated the
rules have been caught AZ II and
barred from future competition.
This Is being done by the instltu-
tions that believe in cleaning house.
There will be many institutions
who will escape with a good reputa-
ton. because they will make no ef-
fort 10 find rule violators.
Athletic coaches have never en-
couraged their men TO play on out
side teams for money. because a Is
against self-interest for them TO do
so. They are likely at any time &C
be caught and, consequently, barred
from the team.
The real crookedness exists
where there ls collusion between ath
letic authorities and any group sucl
as alumni or citizens. who will furn.
ish money TO hire men TO 20 e
college. Il is evident that the coach
without a conscience would approve
OF such an arrangement. because OF
selfish interests. 7 am afraid this
practice is rather prevalent and can
only he stamped out by the widest
nuhiicity."
