Run by Outsiders.

"In every college a staff of outsiders
as far as the game is concerned, grad
yates and undergraduates, are brought
in to take charge of the teams. They
build up a system. In the hands OF that
system the players are puppets used in
conflict with a like system elsewhere
If williams has one coach, Amherst
must have two, and then we must have
three.
I'VE will not allow n student to earn
money by playing because that would
destroy the amateur quality or coiieSe
snort But in some places these out
siders' demand for ten weeks salary
twice the amount paid to our best pro-
fessors for n year. These outsiders
make the rules of the game, dominate
the plays and substitute for our games
announced contests between themselves.
This Is what we get as the first fruit
of our attempt to keep the games OF
our students within proper bounds. AS
against H. I should say that the stu
deots ought to coach their own teams
and win or lose their own games. AS
game competition comes inside coaches
must go out. There is a difference be-
tween teaching and coaching.

ming and maintaining South Bend
schools have doubled in late years.

emptions totals $3,326,56O. The
