Yet there is a remedy that would
prove of value in preventing college
men from being recruited by profess
sional elevenS, or of exploiting their
intercollegiate prowess in other mer-
cenary ways
Remedy Is Suggested.
II is IA legal remedy. Here ii is:
\ PLAYER. on being accepted as "A
member Of IA varsity eleven. signs n
paper which obligateS him in conSid-
Grafton of his being accepted as a
member of the varsity and being per
mitted Ia wear the varsity insignia.
and in further Considera ton of the
honor that will be his in representing
his college as varsity man. TO re-
frain from playing foot ball for q pc
riod of 10 years after he is graduated
or leaves college.
In this paper he would furt her
agree to submit to an injunction
against his playing.
One eminent New York lawyer. a
former Harvard player to whom this
plan was submitted. gave his opinion
that it would prove effective.
The college in question" he said,
would, Of course, have Ia go into
court to enforce it. But if this were
done / am of the opinion that the pa
per signed would be binding.
The point should not he overlooked
that any student who. AS minor.
signed such A paper. would he able to
break it with impunity. This is one
flaw. but it is A minor one. since a
great ma jority of college athletes do
not attain their full powers until they
are juniors, and. at this time, every
varsity man. with extremely few eX-
tat his
ma jority.
Thus. while a sophomore athlete
under y could sign such paper and
not have it legally binding. upper
classmen. who mainly compose varsity
teams. a. least as general rule,
would be bound. SO in The case of
minors the signing should be deferred
until they have cached the legal
age
Opinion Is Supported.
Another prominent Southern lawyer,
who played foot hall in the South
and at one time held an important
federal office. concurs in this opinion.
The courts" he said. have inter
preted this question very clearly and
II a reasonable limitation were placed
upon the player the consented injunc-
ton would be valid"
SO far as the writer is able to
gather. collegiate authorities do not
deprecate what Grange has done so
far as he himself is concerned. More
power to the young Fellow. they say.
But they do feel that the results of
his mercenary exploits are bound to
he unfortunate in their influence upon
amateur sport.
Amateur idealsm Trey fear. will he
