II think can safely claim to know
the game from all angles, said Thorp.
''and it is my judgment that professional
foot ball never will be widely popular
such a multitude of followers.
'.And professional foot ball does not
deserve to be popular. What makes me
Of that opinion? Well, I'll reveal dark
page in my past and admit that once
played professional foot ball for short
/ was graduated. and think it is only
due to myself to say that I quickly saw
the error of my ways.
Zone season Of professional foot ball
was enough for me. What l saw then
and what l have seen since has
that professional foot ball Is the most
demoralizing Of sports from the stand
point of the players themselves. To use
q slang expression. professional foot ball
tends to make a bum Of player.
1.-The reason is plain enough. A col
reputation in school as gridiron
hero and is induced to play profess
sional foot ball has month or. at
best, two months ahead OF him each
year when his services will be in de-
mand If he takes that month or two
months for foot ball 1t means that ne
cannot occupy himself with any regu-
lar business or employment. Tor q
young man in business cannot AFFORD
to be away from it month or two
each fall.
"The result is that the player makes
foot ball his real occupation and loafs
through the rest of the year or takes
up stop-gap jobs that lead nowhere
and can be dropped when the foot ball
season comes around.
"a few years Of that and the mans
foot ball days are over, and he has ac-
ouired nothing except habits Of idle
ness and shift!essness.
"That is considering professional
foot ball from the standpoint OF the
player only. 1 do rot believe the pro-
fassional game will ever become per-
narfently popular with the public. be-
cause the people have come to look
upon foot ball as a purely college
sport"

If" he says. government is in

the American athlete can maintain that

The sometimes excessive tyranny of

In Supreme Position.
All of which is well said indeed. The
coach is fortified not only by the terms
of his contract but by the desire Of the
college boy not to fall out of the
mentors good graces and thus miss a
chance Of winning the honor of a
varsity position. At the same time he
has the feeling that by complaining or
resenting abuse or downright brutal
treatment he places himself in the
category of q gutter.
Yet the curious thing is that in
eight cases out of ten a coach is work.
ing only incidentally for the university
that employs him. He is working for
his own prestige or for the further
interested in developing winning outfits
both on his own account and that of
the institution.
But at the same time too great q
price may be paid both for the coachs
hold upon his job and the prestige OF
the university. Such a price is paid

this with all due Difference to Mr;

Not all the wise guys agree with
Jack Kcarns in this opinion. Ihey
admit that If Dempsey landed one OF
his real punches on the proper spot
The bout would be over. But they are
not so sure that he would land
squarcly before Lewis got in close.
In such case they believe that Demp-
