.DISLIKES BAN ON
SUMMER BASEBALL
Iowa Coach Favors Rule Per
uniting Students to Play
During Summer Months.
BY HOWARD JONES.
Director Of Athletics. Iowa Univ.


Professionalism has no place IN
college athletics
certainly would be opposed 10
anything which would permit pro-
fessi onals to compete on college
teams.
GTowever. believe that the class
a universities have made such
strict scholastic rules that the dan

these universities is extremely
slight.
In tho first place a man i'm order

conference school must have been
jim residence over q period Of one
and one-half years. and must have
completed full work I'm the last two
semesters Of this time. which Of
course covers the period OF one

Personally 7 can see no more
wrong in 4. man earning some mon
ey in summer playing baseball TO
help him through his college course
than 7 can in singers going out on a
Chautauqua circuit.
OF course. the matter is one en-
tirely for the university author
tiles 10 decide. but I am of tho
opinion that the general sentiment
throughout the various faculties
and general public sentiment is in
favor Of permitting the college boy
20 play baseball all summer for

II a rule should be established
whereby boys could play In the

WOULD STRENGTHEN
R ULE ON CLIPPING
Elimination of Goal After a
Touchdown Also Favored
by Local Mentor.

Elimination Of the goal after
touchdown and strengthening Of the
rule on clipping would improve coll
lege football. i'm the opinion Of Coach
Rockne. and he has forwarded his
ideas on the subject 10 Coach A!onzo
Stage, of Chicago. who will rep
resent tho Big Ten conference at
the meeting Of the national rules
committee in New York next month.
Rock does not plan 10 attend the
big meeting, as he will be iu the
midst Of his indoor track season and
Will be unable 20 spare the time.
Hc viii >also he busy as chairman
of the organization committee for
the new mid western conference in
formulating plans for a constitution.
The Notre Dame mentors atti-
tude toward clipping was frequently
expressed last fall. He was one OF
the foremost advocates of the pres
ent rule which forbids clipping. but
he believes that the regulation
should be made more stringent.
Opposes Pass Rule.
The propa ganda which has been
spread I'm the big athletic circles Of
the east toward restricting the use
of the forward pass does not meet
with Rockue's approval In fact.
there is every reason 20 believe that
the movement towards passing such
q rule was aimed at Notre Dame.
The basis for this statement is the
fact that the rule was first advo-
Gated after Notre Danes passing
ability had startled the east and de-
feated two eastern teams by over
whelming scores
Rockn'e complete statement Civ
ing his opinion on the rules situa-
tion follows:
'I feel that we have a dandy
game right now and that there is
no need for experiments along any
line Theorists n given ary leeway
would ruin the game I'm no time.
I think the rule on men in motion
is clearly stated. Ii a man has both
feet stationary on the ground there
can be no motion. though there may
be movement Of the body
i think any restrictions placed on
the forward pass would be a mis-
take. Clipping from behind has
practically been eliminated by the
present rules. but the rule could be
made little stronger by increasing
the penalty"
