In August, 1921, Harold Lentz,

tournament last Sunday, said
that ito my way of thinking

JAPS PROTEST
COLLEGEPRO
RULING
Aroused Over Barring Stu
dents Who Earn Way
Through Universities

A storm Of protest has greeted
the ruling Of the Japan Amateur
Athletic Association that college or
university students earning their
way through school are ineligible for
athletics. The ruling is based on
the grounds that, through such out
side work, these men are "profes.
sional' athletes.
According to university authori.
ties, many students are earning
their way through college by pulling
rikishas and milk wagons, and some
even by selling or delivering papers.
The strenuous exercise these young
men get in their daily tasks makes
them excellent athletic MARTIAL, and
many of them have starred as such.
That these poor, but ambitious
youths should be able to carry on
their studies, and, in addition to
their work find time to participate
In athletics would be considered
remarkable accomplishment in other
countries. And such it Is here to
the student bodies and the general
public.
Whether the decision Of the asso-
citation is due to the failure Of those
ruled against to satisfactorily carry
on their studies Is not known. How
ever, their action is generally re-
garded as "class Legislation" and as
such discouraging to many poor
youths who are determined to get
an education despite financial handi.
caps.
The latest case Of alleged dis
elimination under this new ruling IL
the removal Of the name Of K.
Tashiro and other students Of
Chuwo University from the list Of
those eligible to compete for posi-
lions on the Japanese Olympic
team. These students are reported
to have already proved their athletic
ability in the first elimination con-
tests this year,
Not only are their friends protest
ing against this new ruling of the
association, but the students thus
affected have formed an organize
ton and are making every effort to
defend their rights as student
amateur athletes. The government
is being urged not to grant any
funds toward sending Japanese
athletes to Paris for the Olympic
games unless the rule Is abolished.

Denies That Collegiate
Football Is
Business"

READING, Pa, May TO-
William w. Roper, former coach
Of Princeton University's foot
ball team, in his address before
the University Club Of Read
ing, declared that college foot
ball in America was not COM
mercialized.
Every man who attends a.
Saturday afternoon football
game between colleges is not
concentrating the sport" said
Roper. Instead, he is assisting
IN the athletic education Of 90
per cent Of the college youth of
the land. Every time q college
sends away a team it loses
money, unless it be a football
team, and the enormous income
from football is the only bal
ence which permits the athletic
