Ernest Couzens, graduate manager of
athletics at the University of Penn

dress to the Pittsburgh alumni of that

those who seek to paint intercol-
legiate foot ball with a commercial
tint.

Pittsburgh alumni
THE building of huge stadiums will
not commereialiZe foot ball" CouZens
declared. Even to take care of our
alumni alone IL is necessary that we
make plans to enlarge the present
Franklin Field, and every large school
In the country is faced with the same
proposition. 1t is not a question of
trying to make money, but rather of
accommodating those who have a
right to see our teams in play
Penn conducts 10 sports and of
these foot ball and basket ball alone
pay their own way. Basket ball
breaks even, so it is up to foot ball
TO enable us to carry on all the Others.
The money we get from our foot
ball games-about $750,000 a year
enables us to put crews on the water
and equip and maintain base ball,
lacrosse, fencing and soccer teams,
ana all other branches of athletics"

NEW YORK, January S.-Joie Ray

on the indoor track. He expressed
his confidence of this before leaving
for Chicago, where he will race Nurmi

Just a little short of work, that's
ALL" said Ray, referring to his de-
feat "All l need is a couple of weeks
of racing. Then I'll show the Finn
how a. mile race is run indoors. I
know Nurmi is a great runner and
/ know that to beat him I'll have to
do it in the mile. From now on I'll
confine all my racing against him
to that distance"
At Nurrnfs request the race in Chi
cago was extended from the mile
to the mile and a quarter. Ray said
the Chicago track is IA laps to the
mile and this would give him a great
advantage.
when Nurmi gets out there he'll
find out what indoor running means

wraps. Their eyes varied in direction, how
ever. They were wildly excited. The disagreeabe
weather was forgotten.
1t was the day of the Yale Harvard game. Foot
ball reigned supreme. On the field the mud was deep
the footing treacherous, the cold benumbing. The
