FOOT BALL Is AGAIN
ATTACKED, DEFENDED
By the Associated. Press.

NEW YORK, December S.-Foot
balls greatest season in history has
developed a discussion of it's merits
which bids fair to last until another
season approaches.
The latest attack on the college
sport comes from DIR. Stewart Patton,
psychiatrist and author a member Of
the Princeton faculty and trustee of
Carnegie Institution at Washington.
He calls foot ball a menace to the
mental and physical well being of
the players, declaring that long prac-
tices impose an often unbea rable
emotional strain. He also contends
that the "organized support for the
team called for from the whole stu
dent body is beginning to have it's
effect in lowering the mental life of
American universities to the dead
level of mediocrity. This brings
loss in initiative and freedom of
thought, he says.
Upon reading DR.. Paton's criticism
Coach Tad Jones of Yale and Coach
Gil Dobie Of Cornell took up arms for
foot ball.
II firmly believe that foot ball is
one of the finest influences for good
in the life of any university" Jones
said. This opinion is based on 20
years of experience with the actual
game, not from the outside looking in,
but from the inside looking out. What
foot ball needs today more than any
thing else is fewer reformers."
Dobie said:
Athletics at Cornell are 50 con-
Quoted as to be Of no detriment to
academic procedure. Cornell players
work under ideal conditions and foot
ball in no way interferes with their
scholastic obligations or physical
well-being." He added that criticisms
are being directed at the game by
those who have no interest in it.
Foster Sanford. former Rutgers
coach. and Parke Davis. foot ball his
torian, yesterday joined the opposition
to the views of E. X. Hall. chairman
of the foot ball rules committee, on
professionalism and allAmerican team
selections.
Sanford said that. in his opinion,
the professional game has become
solid and that material could be found
both in and outside Of the college
ranks. He found no evil influence in
selecting all-American teams.
"Fundamentalism in loot ball is out
of date" he asserted. The game
has outgrown old fogey IDEAS
so long as professional foot ball is
played honestly and capably managed
hostile criticism is not deserved, -
Davis declared.

FOR DAVIS CUP PLAY
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. December S.-The French
Tennis Federation has requested the
United States Lawn Tennis Associa-
tion to arrange that at least seven
days shall elapse between the compile
ton of the interzone final and the
challenge round of Davis cup play in
1926.
The federation was Influenced in its
action by the near collapse of Jean
Borotra and Rene La Coste at the end
of last Summers Davis cup matches
against the American team.
The French organization also has
requested that important rounds of
Davis cup tennis be scheduled for Fri
day. Saturday and Monday to give the
players a full days rest between the
doubles and final singles matches.
Borotra and La Coste, Frances
1925 Davis cup representatives, played
strongly against Tilden and Johnston
in their opening matches, but weak
ened at the end.
You seem rather certain of going
to the United States again next year"
it was remarked to Capt. Max Decugis
of the French Davis cup team. who
was largely instrumental in having
these requests made.
Il feel that we have a pretty good
chance" he answered.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, December s.
Harvard's foot ball schedule for 1926,
which has just been completed, con.
tains two games which were not on

been several shifts, calculated to make
the going a little easier than it was in
1926
Geneva College, coached by "Bo"

Tufts is again on the schedule, COM
ing to the stadium between Harvard s
games with Dartmouth and Princeton.
Holy Cross will be played a week
earlier than it was last Fall, and the
game with William and Mary two
weeks earlier.
Also the Brown game, which was
played at Providence this Fall, will re-
turn to the Stadium here.
The only game to be played away
from home Is that Of November 20,

where he was an honor student, Bobby
located with the Adair Realty firm of
Atlanta and in two years time has
proved such valuable member of
that concern that he now occupies a
responsible executive position.
He will spend the Winter months
looking after the business interests of
his firm at Sarasota. Fla, and in
April will return to Atlanta, where he
has permanent residence.
Another reason why Bobby has no
intention of turning professional is
that golf is a game to him and his
best means of recreation. Were he
to become a professional, he would be
commercializing the thing that has
given him one of his greatest pleas
ures in life. Bobby loves the game
too we'll to make business of it.
Another reason why it would be
foolhardy for Jones to turn profess
sional is that as a professional his
earnings would decline with increas-
ing years. whereas in business his in
come would become greater as he
grew older.

1t was to these things President
Sanford pointed in answering critics
OF socalled "commercialized" college
foot ball.
"Commercialism in itself is not
necessarily an evil" the conference
head declared. TT is not how much
money a college receives from its foot
ball contests-it is how the money
is spent"
Have Place for Money.
Admitting that colleges cleared
large sums from their major gridiron
clashes. President Sanford asked:
What of the return from track meets,
basket ball and cross-country con-
tests?
These activities require the trans
portation of teams, in many instances
as large as. or larger than, the aver
age foot ball squad he said. Gate re-
ceiptS usually amount to next to moth
ing. Yet these are important athletic
sports and must be encouraged by
the colleges If we'll rounded programs
of athletic training are to be main
tanned.
Foot ball solves the question of
expense and it is to foot ball alone
the majority of southern institutions
must turn. Lacking in endowments
and appropriated funds, conference
colleges must spread the earnings of
foot ball over the entire program.
Few conference base bah teams
ever draw sufficient crowds to meet
the expenses Of a season. How, then,
is base ball to be maintained? Not to
mention the salaries of athletic in
Structors and other expenses Incl
dental to a colleges program of
sports"
The conference president will con-
tinue to sponsor the one foreign game
freshman foot ball schedule. He will
not favor an athlete engaging in sue
cessive sports, and he will fight the
infringement of athletics upon the
academic life of the educational in
stitution. This he made plain more
than one time during the last session
Of the conference
Tulane officials favor even a more re-
strictive freshman athletic rule. They
lost their proposal, though, to limit
freshman foot ball games to intra-
mural contests.
Encounter Opposition.
Faculty members of the conference
body will encounter opposition from
some coaches on many of their pro-
posed restrictive programs. Limita-
tion of freshman contests to the
campus will cause good high school
and prep school material to seek lnStl-
tutions where the ruling does not pro-
hibit them from playing foreign
games, the mentors contended.
THE colleges want men to graduate"
President Sanford stressed. athletics
must not Submerge the academic side
of college life. The two must go. side
by side, into a fuller and more rounded
development. The freshman year is a
critical period when the most stress
must be laid upon the academic
things
The conference took no action, as
had been predicted, to compile a con-
ference basket ball schedule. 1t was
generally the opinion that the large
membership and territorial eXpanse
stood in the way of such arrangement.
At the last meeting of the executive
committee. held on September 19. 1925,
it had been decided to limit the teams
entering the conference tournament to
16, these teams to be selected on the
basis of percentage in eight confer.
ence games. If there are not 16 teams
which play eight conference games,
teams that show special excellence
may be invited.

general and widespread denial. l

The reasons why Jones will not
