NATIONAL SCANDAL IN COLLEGE
FOOTBALL IS DECLARED IMMINENT
NO CROWD WITHOUT TEAM, NO TEAM WITHOUT CASH
SAYS VETERAN SPORTS WRITER WHO DEGREES
PROFESSIONALS IN COLLEGE SPORTS
By A Veteran Sports Writer
In the Dearborn CMich.) Independent

(Note:-Never in the history of American university ath-
letics has a football season Produced more interest and greater
crowds than has the season just finished. The successful college
elevens have drawn crowds numbering at times nearly one hun
dred thousand, and tens of thousands have been turned away from
the same contests. The gate has been immense; never has foot
ball proved so profitable.
But there must be players for these teams and it is the prac-
tce of paying for the material to turn out the crack teams that is
taken up in this Illuminating article by a writer who has wit
messed the most important football contests of the past twenty
years. The writer is an authority on the game and is exact in every
statement made herein. 1t is his hope that this discussion will
make it unnecessary for him to take up in more detail the facts
country.
This article is being re~-published, in three installments, vol
unfairly by The Courier, in justification of the manly and sports
manHke stand which Montana State college has always bravely
taken in the direction of clean and un-prOfessiOnaized college

II BACK HURTS
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Drink Plenty Water and Take Glass of ats
Before Breakfast Occasionally

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a lot
of drugs that excite the kidneys and
irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep
your kidneys clean like you keep your
bowels clean, by flushing them with a
mild, harmless salts which helps to re-
move the body's urinous waste and
stimulate them to their normal activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they strain
from it 500 grains Of acid and waste, so
we can readily understand the vital i'm
portanee of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water-you can't
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morning

Real money is paid at a number

The ticket scalping system of pro

new or novel. A prominent football
official related to US how he arrived
at the stadium of an important east

ways prided itself on the supposed

A few hours later we met a prom

laughed. "Say, that's nothing" he
commented. "That player was n

and he made all kinds of propositions

The peculiar thing about the entire
