/, 4He PROFESSIONAL sport Is blamed,
IN part at least for the critical atti-
| tude many students and alumni and
others are assuming toward players
VINO are representing them on COL
lege athletic field" said Coach Yost
Too Many Critics, He Says.
"Criticising the play of an individual
or team by fellow students or alumni
Is the wrong attitude. it is ingrati-
tude, as the men Of the team are Civ
ing ther very best efforts to their
university, which is more than their
critics are doing"
Coach fost also deplored the ten
dency to stage intersectional foot
pail games and extend the gridiron
season. He declared the first cons slider
aIion or men in college should be the
ootalnlng of an education and the
hitting of themselves for life in the
world. Athletics. he said, are merely
one OF the means toward that end
ana should not be permitted to eclipse
the other school activities.
no schedule should be drawn up
that would require a team to spena
700 much time away from home. This
necessttates absence from classes
thereby working against the chief
purpose OF the college," he said.
Big Advantage for Some,
WIN regard to more rigid control
or athletics, the hurry I'D" mentor
had this to say:
w hen two schools meet that have
diHerent rules of eligibility as regards
lne standing of athletics in scholar
snip me contest is unfair, 1t is un-
falr competition if one school permits
freshmen to play on varsity teams
ana the other does not. if the time al
ioted to practice differs in the oppos-
ing schools, or if the opposing teams
vary IN the number of games played
each year
"A foot ball team with an eleven
game schedule has an ADVANTAGE OF
more thar so per cent in experienC,-
over the Team with a seven-game
schedule, and if on the same team
freshmen are permitted to play the
advantage is more than 100 per cent
since the total number of games en-
gagged in during college or by play
on the one team would be forty-four
while on the other it woula be but
twenty-one.
No university should be permitted,
or should want any of these advan-
tages.''
Coach Yost deplored recruiting of
athletes. declaring such action tends
to make a youths athletic ability a
marketable commodity rather Than a
source of recreation.

Athletics at Ohio State University
have not been oyeremphasized, and /
believe the same is true Of other west
ern conference schools said Presi-
dent Thompson. Limitations placed
upon the number of foot ball games
by conference rules have eliminated
that. Sixteen or seventeen years ago
we were confronted with a threat of
that nature. but 1t no longer exists.
Our schedules. limited to seven games,
are in striking contrast to the
schedules of from eight to twelve
games attempted in eastern schools.
1.-The victory of our foot bali team at
Princeton last year came as a sur
prise to many easterners, who had
not considered such a thing possible" ="
declared DR.. Judson. Some of the
eastern colleges do not appreciate
middle western institutions to the
fullest extent. and they occasionally
awake to a situation similar to that
recently stated by President Lowell.
in regard to athletics. and mention
it as II it had never been discovered
before.
1--WE long ago met the situation
outlined by President Lowell and
under our present system we have
no fear of athletics assuming too
great a share of Importance. Presi-
dent Lowell is right in saying that
the primary purpose of educational

Il believe that a rule should be IN
corporated in the major-minor league
agreement to this effect. The rules
now specify that the ball used by all
shall be of a certain weight and size,
but nothing is said regarding its COM
ponent parts. In the past 1t has been
generally accepted that all the leading
leagues used a sphere of similar con-
Struction.
IF different leagues begin to adopt
different types of ball confusion re-
sarding the caliber of individual and
team play will almost Immediately re-
suit. Let us assume that while the
Pacific Coast League uses rubber
cored ball another league adopts
livelier ball than the one now in gen.
eral use. The result would be that it
would be impossible to gain any Idea OF
the batting, fielding or pitching ability
of players in these leagues, as COM
pared with the averages Of the major
leagues.
Present Game Pleases Fans.
eff attendance figures can be taken
as criterion of the popularity OF the
game in the major leagues, then the
fans can be safely said to approve of
the type of base ball being played with
the ball now in use. I am not familiar
with conditions on the Pacific coast,
but l should regret to see the game
played with different types of ball in
various sections of the country. for it
cannot fail to destroy the comparative
value of the records which now form
no small part of our national game"
