GRID TEAM T0lLED
WHILE MAKING TRIP

COLUMBIA, Mo, December IL
Money is availa BILE for foot ball almost
without stint in these days of mil
lion dollar stadiums, but there was a
time-less than so years ago-when
University of Missouri players financed
quest for laurels away fro n home
by doing odd jobs.
This year the Tigers will tI-vel to
Los Angeles TO battle the Uni Hersity
of Southern California Christmas day,
and it has been estimated unofficially
that Missouri thereby will be en-
riched approximately $4,000.
The last time the Missouri eleven
ventured far from home was in 1896
and it was a different story. The
Tigers journeyed to Texas and de-
feated the University Of Texas, 10 to O..
Promoters of the Lone Star State
wished the team to go to Mexico City
and play exhibition games, but in
those days the Tigers were not sup
ported by an organized athletic de-
partment and lacked money for the
trip.
The players remained in Texas,
working at odd jobs and playing ex-
hibition games for their meals and
rooms, while they defeated all OPP
ponents and were declared champions
of the South.
Finally money for the Mexican
trip was raised and the Tigers went
to Mexico City, where they played
several Mexican teams They re-
turned to Columbia, champions of
Mexico.

ONE-YEAR ATHLETIC
RULE is HELD VITAL

RICHMOND, Va December IT,
Whether the one-year rule should be
adopted by the Virginia North Caro-
lima intercollegiate athletic conference
has been referred to a committee.
The committee, composed OF Dr.
Charles J. Smith, president of Ro-
anoke College; Dr. ]. A. c. Chandler
president of William and Mary Col
lege, and DR.. w. II. Keeble of Ran
dolph1Macon College. was asked to
prepare briefs on both sides OF the
question and present them to the
colleges that are members of the con
ference.
The one-year rule was strongly
urged by DIR. Chandler and Frank
Dobson. director of athletics al the
University of Richmond, the former
pointing out that Davidson, Wake
Forest and Trinity Colleges would
not join the conference because it
did not bar freshmen from partici-
pating in varsity athletics.
DIR. Chandler predicted the death
OF the conference unless the rule wa
adopted.

fast outfit that year and the next
week l secuted the Tufts-Princeton
game, on my own account, and sent
a report to our head coach. This re-
suited in my being assigned more
scouting work. The next Fall this
led to a connection with an upstate
New York college by which 1 became
a paid foot ball scout.
That was nearly 10 years ago. I
have held this job ever slnce-carry-
ing it as a sideline, as 1 am now
engaged in business in New York.
In the Fall 1t draws heavily on my
time, but for the rest of the year 1t
is mainly an Office job and L can
easily carry 1t on. During these 10
years l have built up not only an
elaborate and effective Office system,
but a network of personal connec-
ttons throughout the country which
makes it convenient for me to sit at
the center of the web.
The silent organization back of
American college foot ball functions
so quietly that it is difficult for even
those on the inside to understand all
it's workings. 1t took me a few years
to get to the heart of it. And the
heart of it is this: The official con-
troll of college athletics is not the
actual control. The actual control is
the silent. anonymous, elusive un-
official contfSl.
