PRO FOOT BALL DEAD,
MAJ. GRIFFITH THINKS

DAYTON. Ohio. December IS CP).-
Foot ball will never become decadent
through its spoliation by professional
ism" declared Maj. John l.. Griffith
of Chicago, one of the games leading
authorities, on his arrival here toda Y
10 speak at the testimonial dinner for
members of the University of Dayton
foot ball team.
Maj. Griffith scathingly denounced
professionals and their actions in
tempting college players. and stated
that their greatest opportunity to com
mercialize the game was furnished
this year
Through greed and avarice they
lost their chance he said. Most of
the professional teams throughout the
country were financially broke this
year. Their managers grasped at the
opportunity to build up the game pro-
fessionally by obtaining college stars.
They played them to extinction be-
cause of their greed for gate receipts.
Everybody saw through the idea. The
games were not short. they were
| 'hippodromed contests played simply
for the money that the promoters
would get out of them.
Almost overnight" Maj. Griffith
asserted, Sentiment changed. 7 have
watched these gestures with great in
terest. | saw a sentiment for profes-
sional foot hall spront, bloom. wither
and now l believe it has died.

BASKET BALL SECRETS
Sol Metzger-

4 great many basket ball players
have developed a bad habit of
holding an opponent who does not
have possession of the ball. This
is foul at all times.
A good basket ball player should
be ashamed to use such methods
on defense. He should cover his
man by quicker starting when the
latter is trying to get into the
play, as in the illustration on the
left.
In the illustration on the right
this opponent has gotten the jump
on him, SO the player has seized
his opponents arm in order to
check him and 10 permit him to
get into the play first. That is il
legal and quite costly.
