Sanford Tells His Story.

To begin with, let it be understood that
Sanford is a head coach the like of whom
is possessed by no other college He re-
ceives no salary. He could go out into the
open market and, without question, sell his
coaching for at least $4,000 a season. But
he has been at Rutgers for seven years
without receiving one cent for his services
There are some who regard Sandy" as the
greatest line coach in the country: one of
the greatest all around mentors We have
in football. But Sandy" is an amateur.
He lives up to the principle which he thun-
ders at his candidates every September in
that gymnasium down at New Brunswick,
ION the banks of the old Raritan."
Sanford was a professional coach before
he came to Rutgers. At Columbia, in vari-
Gus institutions in the West, the big son of
Old Eli received an annual salary which at
the time was considered stupendous for a
football teacher. 1t was easy come, easy
go, while Sandy travelled East and tray
eled West. crossed the ocean and, as the
puts it, led the life of Reilly, whoever he
was" But let Sanford tell his own story
Why am 1 so bitterly and unalterably
opposed to professional football coaching ?
Well, l learned lesson through my own
experiences" said Sanford the other morn
ing IN his offices on William street. See

other work and keeping themselves blind
to the future.
"You may laugh at this" continued
Sandy" "but 1 believe that football coach
ing took from my grasp career in the
legal profession, which would have made
me not only more prosperous financially
but certainly better endowed with the
honors which come to a man who has

aspirations as lawyer and nearly ruined
my whole career"

courtyard. But his mind was not in Will

chasm of years and harked back to the

The fact that there are now in Italy
$4,000 women members of the Fascist is
significant because of the traditional Sc
clusion in which the italian woman lives.
More than any others in Europe the italian
women are limited TO the little circle of
the home, and are apathetic to politics or
wide activities.
Whereas the war produced great wave
of restlessness upon the feminine part of
most of the warning countries it did not

up just in time for the football season.

young man coming TO Rutgers to have that

Football is by far the greatest of all
games But 1 abhor its professional side.
Let men other than those who come out of
Rutgers take care of that. | do not say
that I want all Rutgers players to forget
football just soon as they have gone
from the college. That would not be pos
sible-and besides, once in football, always
in it. 1 want the old boys to come down
to New Brunswick during the fall and give
me hand with the team But | want
them to do that only in their spare time
and with the spirit of the true amateur
"Of all the men who have played football
at Rutgers only one-Tallman-is making
money out of teaching athletics; but he is
physical director and does not coach foot
ball. During the last six years l have
given permission to three former Rutgers
players to coach high school teams, but
they are receiving money as teachers in
various classroom branches and are not
professional coaches The oath never has
been broken.
Rutgers stars have come to me from
time to time with offers which they have
received from other colleges to coach Some
of these offers were most alluring finan-
cially. But l always have refused to give
back the promises and the offers always
have been declined. Many of these men
have thanked me time and again for ex-
acting the oath.
"As result of the system which | have
developed Rutgers football players leave
their college humble, eager for hard work.
And they make good In striking contrast
are the sad cases of many football greats
whom l knew in the old days / remember
one from Yale who rode down into Wall
street in hanson cab-and walked out
four months later to remain failure be-
cause he could not forget his reputation
of the gridiron and get down to business"
Sanfords argument is a powerful blow
at the seasonal football coach who five
years from now is very likely to be ex-
tinct. The New England group of colleges
already has voted to do away with sea-
sonal coaches beginning with next fall
The Rutgers mentor has no particularly
strong quarrel with the men who settle
down to career of coaching and make il
their life work. Men like Glenn Warner
Alonzo Stagg and Hugo Be7dek, all of whom
receive more than $4,000 a year under
long term contracts, have made football
coaching their big goal and have made
great successes of their work. But it is a
question if they would not have prospered
more had they turned their energies to
business or the professions

ten minutes to think it over. Any man

will be asked to withdraw from the squad"
George Foster Sanford, Yale football
luminary of other days--one of the true
Titans of the old era before the forward
pass and other open features remade the
game. was laundering this strange message
at sixty eager, splendid looking young fell
lows who had assembled to begin their
competition for places on the Rutgers Col
lege eleven. 1t was fresh, bright morn
ing early last September. The sunlight
which flooded the college gymnasium in
New Brunswick. N. J., revealed here and
there the calm, serious acceptance of
veteran who had heard that same message
in that same hall for several years-over
yonder a group of astonished newcomers
who could not grasp the significance of
the demand but appreciated that SANDY
never was more earnest in his life.
You football players of Rutgers-I
want to save you from yourselves" con-
tinued the stentorian Sanford as he en-
phasized his remarks with a crash which
almost broke desk in twain. 'I am de-
termined to prevent your fatal infection
with the virus of after-college football. 1
insist on doing all can to prevent you
from injuring your careers, be they des-
tined for business or profession, as 1 in
jured mine. You must not use this foot
ball which I will show you for pecuniary
gain after you leave Rutgers"
In five minutes Sanford got the prom
ises of those sixty young men just as he
had received the assurances of one foot
ball squad after another ever since he first
exacted the oath when he cam to Rut-
gers in 1916. Not once hasa Rutgers man
broken his promise to Sandy" Not once
have Rutgers players, who went to other
institutions and won places on the elevens
there. revealed the plays and strategy
which they learned under the old Yale
lineman. 1t Is remarkable football
brotherhood which Sanford has developed
at Rutgers sort of gridiron Society of
the Cincinnati, the like Of which is hard
to find.
Here's a strange sight indeed: a football
coach who loves the game as a thing dear
to his heart and yet wants to save others
from becoming football coaches; a man
with splendid reputation. happy family
and fine home in Ridgewood, N j., who
holds that football coaching is not con-
ducive to domestic happiness; a gridron
mentor who has built up an insurance
business in this city which brings to him
an annual income in excess of $25, 900 who
holds that after-college football blasts a
mans career-that it blasted his own ca
reer.

IMPORTING FOREIGN COAL.

1t is not usual for the United States to import
coal, but arrangements have been made for the i'm
.portation Of coal in considerable quantities in order
to relieve the shortage caused by the strike. Gov
eminent agencies are taking notice of this lct, and
are arranging for the distribution of dom coal
on the basis of these lmportations. Goa. .eived
at Atlantic ports is to be used along the seaboard,
and coal from the interior which, otherwise would be
used along the coast is to be shipped farther inland
to relieve the necessities of the interior.
From the strike standpoint this is all highly i'm.
proper and immoral. The importation of coal in
creases the supply and relieves those conditions OF
shortage which the strike was intended to create.
If only enough coal could be obtained from abroad
the public interest would be affected only slightly,
and strikers and strikes might be permitted to car
ry on their warfare until the crack of doom without
any OF the rest OF US being agitated over it.
Men who 60 to work in an occupation in which
and many other terms, highly uncomplimentary,
are heaPed upon them. The people who import coal
in this emergency and thereby relieve the situation
in some measure are equally strike breakers, and the
people who avail themselves of the facilities which
that importation affords must be placed in the same
category.
Still AZ, according to the doctrine which
prevails in sulne labor circles, it must be unethical
for union searnen to operate the ships on which this
foreign coal IS brought to supply the needs of the
American people, and for union railway workers to
operate coal trains for the distribution of a COM
modify which the strike was intended to tie up.
Why does not some patriotic congressman in
troduce a bill placing an embargo on coal for the
duration of the strike?

DANCING.

Some Of The Herald's correspondents object to
Saturday night dances on the ground that they tend
to keep the young people away from church, and for
this reason they look with disfavor on the dances
given on Saturday evenings in the fair ground pa
vlllon under the auspices of the fair association. 1t
happens that most young people like to dance, and
will dance, somewhere and under some auspices. 81
There are people-quite a number, in the aggre-
gate-who believethat dancing under any condition
is not a proper form of amusement. Between these
and those who hold the opposite opinion argument
is to little purpose, and argument in such cases usa-
ally tends to strengthen rather than to change con.
~viction. ,
But WI believe that most of those who do not
object to dancing in itself will see no improperly in
the fair association, or any other public body, pro-
viding facilities for dancing under proper supervi-
sion and in suitable surroundings.
Does the Saturday night dance at the fair
ground keep young people away from church next
day? Doubtless many of those who attend the
es. But the fair ground dance is quite recent, and
though it is attended by a good many hundred
people, we have not heard that there is any marked
falling off in church attendance since it was started,
1t seems that some of our friends are putting
the cart before the horse, and are assuming that
people lie in bed late on Sunday morning because
they have been at a dance the night before, whereas
a very large number of people seek entertainment
until late Saturday night because they feel at liber-
ty to lie in bed late the next morning.
If there were no public dance on Saturday
night there would be a lotsof private ones, for those
who like to dance will find opportunity to dance,
AS between the public dance and many of the pri-
vate dances which would be substituted for it, and
which would be held in all sorts of places and under
all sorts of conditions, we believe that the public
dance IS infinitely to be preferred.

THE LIVING WAGE.

There has been talk of amending the transporta-
ton act so as to guarantee to railway workers a
living wage" lnasmuch as everyone, either be-
leves or processes to believe in a living wage for
workers, the proposal has received considerable
support. asmu as every person who works for
wages should receive enough to enable him to main
tain himself and his family decently and comfortab-
ly, why not require the official board whose duty it
is to deal with wages to fix a wage meeting that re-
~quirenent?
Should the plan be adopted it would be a "ees-
ttlre,G unproductive of real results, and providing
an opportunity for complications in addition to their
present abundance.
In the very nature of the case any board charp.
ed with the duty of fixing wages must take into &C
count the cost Of living. 1t must base its findings
on the standards of the country in which it is. It
will necessarily do this, with OF without legislation
specifically instructing it. For evidence that Til. -
true one need only: recall the operations of the Rail-
way Labor board in the past. The law under
which the board operates says nothing about 4 liv--
ing wage. Yet the board has listened to volumes
OF evidence relating to the cost of living, just as il
mas listened to evidence on the cost of operating
|railroads and on the requirements of the service.
The amendment Of the law in the manner sue-
|gested would, however, change the situation by COM
IplIcating 1t. The question of what constitutes Z
living wage has about as many answers as there are
people. The board is now at liberty to give what
weight Il thinks best to the testimony offered. and
e reachsits conclusions in its own way. If its CON
illusions are fair and reasonable they will be support
