ASSOCIATION PLANNED
BY COLLEGE PLAYERS
BY WALTER CAMP.

A new development has emerged
from the welter of disclosures and
confessions as to amateur standing
of college athletes which grew out
of the now famous foot ball game
between Carlinville, Ind. and Taylor
willie, Ill. 1t is now proposed to form
a protective association among COL
lege players. The exact purpose of
such an association has not as yet
been fully established.
If such body were to be operated
along right lines and in conjunction
with the college authorities 1t might
prove a most excellent thing. But IL
Its purpose is to protect those who
violate their amateur standing and
render them immune from the conSe-
auences of trading their athletic abil-
fty for money or its equivalent, it is
doomed to dismal failure.
The writer declared more than
three years ago that the greatest
menace to college athletics was the
lure of the long green" That pre-
diction has been borne out. Recent
disclosures have placed more than a
score of middle western athletes un-
der the ban. but il the affair brings
college players the necessity of clean
ing house thoroughly and taking
some steps that will keep college
athletes clean, star players will not
have been sacrificed in vain.
President James r. Angel OF Yale
In recent announcement struck the
keynote of the situation when he said
regarding athletic facilities: las
these facilities improve we can pro-
ceed rapidly with policy which will
get every physically fit lad into rec
reational sport of one kind or another,
with resultant benefits to the univer-
sity and the individual student which
can hardly be overestimated."
We need more field room and facil-
tiles If we are to take care of all
men who would like to play in the
universities.
