TO ELIMINATE COMMERClALISM IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS; PLAN
 URGED BY UNIVERSITY DEAN

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Grcaler con trol of athletics by the faculties of colleges, was urged in report made today by Dean Douglas Anderson or Tulane University, to the Associa- ton of American Colleges, in session here. The report was made follow ing a survey of a large number of leading colleges and universities.
 Among the leading abuses which the committee discovered were com mercialism, excessive expenditure of money, scouting for athletes in pre- paratory schools, too much newspa- per publicity, gambling and the over emphasis on the part of alumni and the general public of the relative im- portance of athletics" Dean An derson stated.
 "The first step in eliminating these abuses" declared Dean Ander- son, ''is to give the faculty control not only over tho eligibility of play CTS, entrance requirements and scholastic training, but also over fl. nances, schedules and the employ ment of coaches. Each coach would have the standing of a full professor, under the plan
 "The average expenditure of south ern colleges for athletics is $24 334 per year." the report said One in stitution last year spent $109,797 for athletics. The great and ever il- creasing cost of conducting sports is one of the gravest phases of the problem. It exaggerates the relative importance of athletics. It should be the serious business of each institu- tion to reduce these excessive costs A suggestion has been made that gate receipts be eliminated and ad- mission to games be made strictly q matter of invitation

TWO UTAH FAMILIES
 HAVING BATTLE OVER
 ATHLETIC SUPREMACY

SALT LAKE CIT, Gan. i5.-The Romney family of Salt Lake City and the Conroy family Of Ogden are having merry battle for the family athletic supremacy of Utah, but the Romneys appear to have a safe hold on the honors because there are more Romneys than Conroys.
 Three Conroy boys have gained fame as football players and one Is a college wrestler while the five Romney brothers specialize in grid. iron work.
 Vincent Conroy, captain of the 1922 Navy eleven, is the most fam ous member of the ogden family. Next comes Ted Conroy, who won intercollegiate wrestling honors at Cornell, and following him is Rete Conroy, who explained the 1922 Utah Agricultural College football squad. Bringing up at the tail end is young Louis Conroy, who has been elected captain of the 1923 ogden High School gridiron team.
 Four of the Romney boys are hold ing down positions as coaches after brilliant careers as football players and the fifth is just starting out on the gridiron.
 c. Ottinger Romney is football mentor at Montana State College; R Lowell Romney teaches football al the Utah Agricultural College; Vii. ford Romney is football coach at the Logan (Utah) High School, and Mil ton Romney, who starred with the University of Chicago football squad of 1921, is gridiron coach at the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college. Floyd. the youngest Rom ney. is a freshman at Montana State College, and he plans to play foot ball next fall. Last season he starred with the University of Utah team here.
 The Romney family's claim of hay ing furnished more football coaches than any other family in the United States has gone undsputed for some time.

CITY FIVE AND ME TL.AkATLAT0
 CLASH TONIGHT
Hard Thought Game Expected al A, B. Hall This PM.
 A. N. B. Defeated.

When the Cty rive and Metla- katla Athletic Club basketball team clash on the A. B. Hall floor to- night, local basketball fans expect to see one of the hardest fought con tests ever played on a local floor. The Metlakatlans. with two Of the regulars out of the lineup, last night ran away with the Douglas A. N B. squad, winning the game by a score of 54 10 b.
 In the Annette lsllnd squad the City players will meet one of the fastest lives in Southeastern Alaska and one which excels in team work. The men arc all good players. all working for the game and not for a- dividual glory, and the team is q finely balanced organization.
 City Team Strengthened
 The City team. strengthened b. the addition of Wilbur Burford, is expected 10 hold tho visitors on at least even terms. Ii, like the Doug las F'iremen. lacks the finish im- parted by long practice. But in Hughes. Sperling. Wiltanen, Burford, Sabin. it has a scoring machine un- usually de. ndable and ore that, if func..oning smoothly. will b hard to down. On the defense, Joe George and Parmakoff comprise the first line, with Art Be1udin available for relief. The City has played but one regular game this season, defeating the Chilkoot Barracks team by one-sided score 10 days ago. It is in better shape now than at that time and will put up better game.
 Metlakata Confident
 Metlakatla, in defeating the Doug las Fire Department squad last Sat urday night, proved it's caliber. Last nights lop-sided victory over the Douglas A. N. B added to it's con fdence.
 II. Atkinson. transferred from for ward to a guard position. led the Nets in scoring last night, caging 10 baskets from scrimmage and two from the foul line. a total of 22 points. T. Benson, a forward, scored l4 points, Dundas caging from scrimmage for 10 points. R. Booth subbing for H. Atkinson. scored 2l points. The two Jacksons, Douglas A. N.

Jackson two. and one from a free throw, and Willis, guard, broke through for one from scrimmage.
