he represents, he gives his college
wide publicity.
1t would be impossible for the col
lcges to pay for the publicity that is
received on the sport page and page
one because of the athletic prowess
of certain students.
However, this feature of college
work gets no consideration when the
class standing is considered. Certain
professors, who are averse to ath-
lCtics, seem to take pleasure in MAX
ing the going hard for some star
athlete. This seems to be particular
ly true of those who indulge in foot
ball.
Football is the major college
sport. 1t is the big spectacle, the
game that attracts record crowds
1t has been the chief factor in build
ing the stadiums that now grace the
! campus of many colleges. Naturally
the football coaches are greatly
| concerned over the agitation against
athletics on a big scale.
Gil Dobie, famous football coach
who has put Cornell back on the
! gridiron map, offers a radical sug-
gestion for helping the class STANDARD
of the athlete, with direct emphasi:
on the football specie.
Dobic feels that the varsity letter
awarded athletes who make the var
sity college teams, should stand fol
average ability as student as wei
as athletic prowess.
The Cornell coach suggests tina
all athletes get their letter at thu
close of the college year in June
Those who fail to make the grade il
either January or June, and are
forced to leave college, are to be de
prived of their letter
The letter award is the big thin,
to the college athlete. Dobie feel
that the student, realizing that elias
work is as essential as athletic abil
ity devote more time to his elias
work.
While Dobie's suggestion is yer
radical and contrary to all colleg
presidents, it would not be at a.
surprising if it met with popula
favor in many quarters.

Ability to hit is a gift of nature.
A majority of the leading batsmen
in the history of the game have
been natural hitters.
Few players become great hitters
with "A made over style. BY that l

at the plate from the one that was
natural for the players to assume.
Often batters have profited great
ly by remedying IA certain fault Ill
their style. Such batters, however,
are rarely class>d as great in the
art of hitting.
Cobb bats just the same today as
when he broke into the American
League. Hans Wagner never tried
to polish his rather awkward style.
Both Cobb and Wagner must be
listed as natural batsmen of great
ability.
