PRO GRID TEAM PILOT
WOULD BAR STUDENTS

CHICAGO. February 15.-College
students who play professional foot
ball aren't any good to themselves,
the college they are supposed to rep
resent or the team they are playing
for" according to Chris O'Brien. man
ager of the Chicago Cardinals, a pro-
fessional eleven here.
Manager O'Brien announced his In
tention OF presenting a resolution at
the next meeting of the American
Foot Ball Association. a professional
organization. calling for a blacklist
by the association of any players who
violate the college amateur rules
while still in college.
I'm a promoter: I'm a profession
al" he said. Il couldn't stay in sport
six months If 1 didn't make any
money out of II or il 1t didA't pay me
at least my expenses But / do want
to say that the 'cheater' has no more
place in professional ranks than he
has in amateur.
I've had experience with these
'cheaters' both as a promoter and as
a player. I've never had a 'cheater'
on one of my teams as far as I know.
Promoters Of professional foot
ball realize that their sport is found
ed upon the integrity of the college
game. If the college game is allowed
to ssie professional foot ball will die
with it. We're only watching our
own selfish interests when We try to
safeguard the college game"

1t is all settled now. There are no
formal charges lurking. in ambush,

nothing had happened. except that
the club owners were good enough
to say that they figured that Mr..
Baker was justified in doing what
he did, and they also adopted reso-

would not tamper with players be-
longing to some one else, on penalty
of a slap.
There are so many ways in which
tampering may be DONE" said Presi-
dent HeydIer-and he never uttered
a greater truth-"that any one can
see how almost impossible 1t is to
bring the subject directly to focus.
Nothing was said about other tam
pering, nor was any other club men
toned.
No Trade Develops.
Not a player has been traded or
loaned or disposed Of in any way as
a result of a meeting of the Ma
tional magnates. So many of the
players have been acquired by the
owners of the New York club that
the other fellows don't see how they
are going to spare anything to each
other; The best thing they can do
is to hang on to what they have.
ST., Louis, with Sam Greadon for
spokesman, is pretty sanguine that
1t will give the Giants a merry chase
for the championship. Breadon doesn't
seem to be bit disheartened at
the task of signing Rogers Hornsby
to a contract. 1t isn't such an awful
task. after all. because the argument
is all on one side of the fence, and
If Hornsby doesn't sign he cannot
play ball. That might hurt both
ways, and a recalcitrant might cost
St. Louis the championship. but that
wouldn't be the first time that
championship had been lost because
players balked.
"The league" said Mr.. Breadon-
and he was quite facetious in his re-
marks-"has adopted a resolution
that the various clubs must keep
away from each others ball players.
but nothing has been said about each
club keeping away from its own ball
players and 1 am going right after
Mr.. Hornsby."

Judge Lands and local base ball men,
however, are puzzled as to just how a
batter would be able to steal first base
with the pitcher having his eyes con-
stantly on him. Mr.. .Gillham is clear
in his statement that fans want to see
"men running bases" but his letter
offered no definite suggestion as to how
base running can be accelerated. Simply
giving a batter permission to steal first.
Judge Landis believes, will not serve to
speed up the game.
