Professional Football Most
Demora|izing of Sports
Non-Pro. One of Best

NEW YORK, March S-Profes-
sional football is the most democrat
izing Of sports, just as non-profes-
sional football is one Of the best
according to Tom Thorp, gridiron
coach at New York University.
Thorp, widely known as a sporting
writer, probably is ever wide
ly known as football referee and
umpire, in having officiated at Diff
ferent times in all of the football
classics of the country. In his stu
dent days when he played at Column
bia he was ranked rs In all-Amer-
lean lineman.
II think I can safely claim to
know football from all angles" said
Thorp, land it is my Judgment that
professional football will never be
widely popular in America where COL
lege football has such multitude OF
followers.
"And professional football does
not deserve to be popular. What
makes me OF that opinion? Well, I'll
reveal a dark page in my past and
admit that / nee played profess
sionAl football for a short time. 1t
was a long time ago, just after /
was graduated, and ] think 1t is only
due to myself to say that I quickly
saw the error Of. my ways and re-
formed.
zone season of professional foot
ball was enough for me. What I
saw then. and what I have seen
since has strengthened that opin-
ion, convinced me that professional
football is the most d~en1oralizing of
sports from the standpoint of the
players themselves. To use a slang
expression, football tends to make a
bum of a player.
"The reason is plain enough. A
college player who has made a
great reputation in school as a grid
iron hero and is induced to play
professional football has a month,
or at best, two months, ahead of
him each year when his services will
be in demand. If he takes that
month or two months for football
it means that he cannot occupy him.
self with any regular business or
employment, for q young ma in
business cannot afford to be away
from it a month or two each fall. 7
1.-THE result is that the player
makes football his real occupation
and. Ioafs through the rest Of the
year or takes up stop-gap jobs that
lead no where and can be dropped
when the football season comes
around.
"a few years of that and the
mans football days are over, and he
has acquired nothing except habits
of idleness and shiftlessness that
probably have ruined him for a s
full career.
.'That is considering professional
football from the standpoint Of the
player only. I do not believe the pro-
fessional game will ever become
popular with the public either be-
cause the public has come to look
upon football as a purely college
sport"

Wills is to be pointed, as a result
Of his victory over Kid Norfolk last

Norfolk went to the canvas after
twenty-six seconds of boxing in the
second round of the match last
night. Several persons claim to have
seer the blow which sent the Kid
down, but It escaped tie notice of a
majority of those at the ringside.
The referee made an effort to sepa-
rate them from a clinch but Nor
folk toppled over backwards land
ing on his shoulders. He arose,
walked to his corner, apparently I'M
hurt after taking the count.
