YALE MEN ADVOCATE
BIG THREE CHANGES

MONTCLAIR, N. J., Nov. 3O.--
Advocacy Of a change in the foot
ball schedules between Harvard,
Yale and Princeton, so that the last
game Of the big Three" series will
be between Yale and Harvard one
year and Yale and Princeton the
next, will be made by Yale alumni
at the Montclair Yale Club smoker
in Nick Roberts barn next Satur-
day night.
Montclair Yale men feel, so it is
said, that there is no reason why
the Harvard Princeton game should
always precede by two weeks the
Yale Harvard clash, giving Harvard
an opportunity OF two weeks prep
aration for the Yale game, while
Yale and Princeton have their big
Three" clashes only week apart.
Tad Jones. head coach of the Yale
team, is expected to voice his views
on the subject at that time. He
also will give some Recommended
lions regarding the rule which pro-
hibits the team from getting to-
gether before September is. Jones
speech will be broadcast from Sta
ton WOR, Newark, N. j.

cause he seeks to collect some OF
that as soon as he can?
There is much written and said
about amateurism in college ath-
letics. AS soon as all the pro-
fessors and instructors and ath-
letic coaches agree tolwork for the
love of it, taking no money
whatever, then and not till then
will they have any arguments
against a players going out and
getting as much as he can and
as soon as he can.
"Red" Grange is simply a
smart chap. He has something
to sell and has a ready market.
He is merely making hay while
the sun shines, doing SO honorably
and openly.

ager Ernest B. CoZens announced

am opposed TO Lne ueVeIop-
ment of star players just 50 they
may trade in their football repu-
tations for money as soon as they
have played their last game. No
player has fulfilled his obligation
to his university until he has fin
ished his academic career"
This is positively funny. What
special obligation to his uni
versity" does any football player
owe? None whatever.
If the athlete is treated the
same. as every other student, he
pays his tuition. He has the hos
tility of many instructors through
sheer jealousy. He is compelled
to make better marks in his
studies than the average student.
If he fails, he is taken off the
squad. Whatever chance he has
of making reputation is lost and
that precious alma mater sheds
no tears on that account.
Universities and colleges sell
education. They hire professors
and instructors to peddle it to the
students. 1t is no fault of the
student, or the athletic instructor,
either, for that matter, that the
athletes and the coaches make
more money than the professors
and the instructors. But always
the complaint comes from the pro-
fessors. They don't get as much
dough as they deserve-and that
is allowed-but that has nothing
to do with. the athletic persons.
the coaches and the players.
What chafes this writer is to
see such men as Frank Gargan
setting themselves up as judges
of moral conduct as applied to
college football players. A pro-
fessional coach, earning an easy
living as a coach, has no cause
to yelp about some player going
out getting some real money. The
player, such as "Red" Grange,
collects more money than Gargan
will ever get, and he does it, in
less time, but that doesn't give
Gargan any argument. AS a
matter Of fact, Frank Gargan is
all wet.
A student entering a college
owes his college or university
nothing. Let's settle that at the
start. He buys an education. 1t
is up to that college or university
to give him what he buys. If a
student is able to play football
or baseball or run or play hockey
or basketball, that is something
else again.
The University Of Illinois made
a million dollars in three years
simply because "Red" Grange
played on the varsity eleven.
Then why should the University
Of Illinois bawl ont Grange be,

ANZAc TENNIS TEAM

Escaped the Draft

The Southwestern League has
been overlooked entirely by teams
in faster leagues who used the
draft to strengthen their teams.
Although fifty.seven players were
drafted into higher leagues; none
was drafted from any team lin
the Southwestern League. But the
failure of the higher leagues to
draft any players from the South
western does not indicate that no
players went up from that league
this year. Every team in the
league sold one or more players
before the season closed to teams
in faster leagues.

Lynn Woodwork means bust

IN several dollars worth of fannie

the dogs of basketball players.
The boys on his quint must have
tough puppies. Woodie demands
that much of them, and he doesn't
think the request is so unreason-
able.
Each and every athlete has re-
ceived his dole of fannie acid and
advice. Cigarettes have been ostra-

of both kind, are not tolerated.
And what is more, those that
funk viii stay flunked and viii

Business won a game in the high
school series last year and consider
Ing the handicaps under which the
squad worked, the sum total of vic-
tories was not out OF proportj- n to

small and somewhat unweildy in its

Taking the game seriously this
