Yes" said the dean, an amiable
elderly gentleman, in reply to my not
altogether ingenious question, col
lege foot ball has been reformed
Our coaches take the material they
have and make sportsmanlike ef-
fort to win. Rowdyism, profanity
and the last vestige OF professional
ism have been eliminated You can
see for yourself what changes have
come"
Indeed I did see for myself, but /
knew they had cleansed the outside
OF the cup. 1t is true that profanity
and the coarser aspects of profess
sionalism have been eliminated-but
1t has been a transition from pro-
family to politics-and by politics
mean intricate and smoothly or
ganized and expert politics, leading
into the strongholds of high finance
and summoning amazing resources Of
financial and social prestige-in get
ting players and winning games.
Let me cite as parallel the
changes in the American political
scene of the last 20 years. The
political boss is no longer the heavy
jowled porcine creature of the old
cartoon. He Is no longer a coarse
worker, and strong-arm political
methods are no longer in vogue
keformers note with satisfaction the
passing of the old brutal methods
but let them become involved in a
political situation where something
important Is at stake and they will
learn something about modern ef-
f1ciency.
Where there is deep and power
full will to win, we are not going &c
sacrifice anything which lessons our
chances OF victory, even by an under

Jimmy De Hart, the coach, has no
assistants, except a graduate man

coach for nothing. Washington and

money out of games even to pay her
coaches adequate salaries.

Washington and Lee is the only
important college in the South which
has no support of any church or
State and there is a $3.50 tuition fee
for each student. There were no
Virginia boys on the Generals eleven
this year, which indicates they go
elsewhere in the State where tuition
is either free or not so costly De
Hart coached his team three months
last Spring. That is devotion for

players. But the work told this Fall
Then Centre, the Southern cham
pion. Centre has had more than its
due share of publicity in recent
years; at least, the writer thought
so when he went to Danville the
other week. But, honestly, one can
not give those Kentucky boys too
much credit. The college has about
$50 students and just II foot ball
players who were qualified to face
the sort of opposition the team was
meeting from big southern elevens this
season. These men had to play in
every important game. Guards, $50
pounds each; tackles, 169 and III;
center, IT'S pounds.

When the powerful Georgia team
met the Praying Colonels last Satur-
day one of the Centre tackles had a
broken foot: he crawled into position
on his knees to save IL when the team

Other men were splintered and ban
daged-they had to last out that
Georgia game, every man jack of

game, Gordy, one of the star players
offered a prayer that every man
would be permitted to last out the
game Here is stuff out of which
sagas of a deed are fashioned. The
writer's hat is off to the Praying Col

tised, but they answer specifications.
There is Rice Institute down in
Houston. Tex. Rice was new to scien-
tific foot ball and the sort of ma

fact that one of his tackles weighed
ia, the other IT'S. that one guard
weighed 1862. one end $50 and the full
back 162.
Yet Rice had a real foot ball eleven,
an outfit that fought like tigers and
were respected and feared by every
institution in the Southwest.
All this about Rice and Centre and
