Kirk Miller

A year ago at this time when
professional football was COM
paratively new thing there was
much speculation as to whether
or not that style of game would
make serious inroads on COLI
legiate football. Twelve months
in the opposite direction from
which the clock ticks, you could
get all kinds of arguments to
the potentiality of the pro grid
as drawing sport.
Red Grange had just sur
rended his amateur status, the
ballyhoo was on for him and
for other collegiate stars avail
able for the sport and univer-
sites in many sections of the
country were looking doubtfully
at the future of a field of en-
deavor which up until then had
been strictly theirs.
But now the answer has
come and it seems that it takes
more than merely twenty-five
men in football uniforms to
pack the cash customers through
the turnstiles. After all, the
past season would indicate,
there is nothing to supplant
tradition as a magnet for grid
iron patronage.
Tim Mara and c. C. Pyle,
rival promoters of professional
football leagues around New
York during the past ten weeks,
are both staring tremendous
deficits in the tonsils and the
players, such of them as can
catch on, have gone South and
to the West Coast to play in
few remaining contests which
will fill the holiday afternoons.
Meanwhile collegiate football
seems to have gained some inn
petus through the fact that
competition in the form of pro-
fessional pastiming was present.
Larger gates were recorded in
the season just closed than ever
before. AS if challenged for
its position in the fall athletic
spotlight, collegiate football
arose to the situation and
seemed to Guido itself. The
million-dollar mark was APP
preached in the Army-Navy
game at Chicago. Yale, one Of
the decadent Big Three, had a
total gridiron gate of 100000
Notre Dame and Southern
California drew $4,000 Gus
toners in their clash. These are
only a few of the startling sta
tistics from non-professional ac-
tivity which offset the fears of
a year ago that professional
football might give the AGA
demic attraction a rub for
popularity.
Without the old graduates
and that contagious college
spirit which hovers around foot
bill, the game does not seem
natural. Just as the magnetism
of baseball is half civic pride,
so is football a matter of COL
lego pride.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1B.--Hockey
struggling for a toehold In the favor
OF sporting America. has received its
first serious setback with the dec
Iaration OF war between the Ma
tional Professional League and thA
American Hockey Association.
Details OF the conflict, which ceb
tiers about the Chicago Cardinals OF
the American Association. were re-
vealed here today by Maj. Frederick
Mclaughlin, president of the Black
hawks. Chicago's National Leagu'
representatives.
The controversy, according to
Major Mclaughlin, revOlvCs
around two layers on the Car
dinalS' team whose status has
caused the National League to
call off all working agreements
with the American Association.
From now on ft In said, teams
of the latter organization viii
be regarded rs outlaws Of or
gained hockey.
Teddy Graham and Cyclone Went
worth. stars Of the Cardinal tenn.
are the center OF the disturbance.
Both players came from clubs OF
the Canadian Amateur League.
Frank Calder Of Montreal, presi-
dent Of the National League,
called the Lands OF organized
hockey" declared that Graham and
Wentworth had not been properly
signed by the Cardinals and that
the latter organization has not as
yet paid for the players. Calder
therefore declared the entire Ameri-
can Association outlawed.
Major Mclaughlin said the
American circuit was originally
known as the Central ASsO-
citation, q minor hockey league.
He charged the organization
had changed it's name without
permission and has since been
posing as o ma iOr league.
A suit against the National cit
cult, Calder and various Canadian
clubs is understood to have been
filed by the American Associate
President Edward Livingston of the
