DEMAND FOR WIN
IS WORST FAULT
This, Lan6fOrd Says, Is Foot
balls Serious Problem

New Haven Jan. P---That the
worst feature OF football at the pres
ont time is the demand for victory,
is the opinion expressed by William
s. Langford, former star football
player Of Trinity college and at pres
emit secretary of the football rules
committee in an interview published
in the Yale News yesterday.
"A cash value is being placed on
football by the betting which is 80
generally being carried on by the
alumni of the various colleges and
universities all over the country"
Mr.. Langford says. "All spirit of sup
port OF ones team because of loyalty
and love of the college is lost, being
supplantcd by personal and selfish
desire for victory, so that the winner
may reap the harvest Of his friends
losses. The habit of gambling has
naturally spread TO the uudergradu-
ates and the general public as we'll"
Pointing out that football is an
extremely strenuous game, Mr..
IanEford said he did not believe the
football season could safely be short
oncd any more than it is at present.
He also expressed the opinion that
the present big three agreement not
to start practice until September .,
was dangerous, as teams We're played
which had four weeks training, while
those bound by the agreement had
but two.
Discussing professional football,
Mr.. Langford believed that the pro-
fossional movement would harm the
college game, but that it would keep
the public interested, he character
lied newspaper publicity about indi-
Vidual players as detrimental.
Asked about possible changes in
the rules next year, he said that
there might be some discussion
about the restriction or limiting Of
the forward pass and that the point
after touchdown ruling probably
would be brought UP at the commit
tee meeting for revision.

NO AWARD FOR
UNSELFISH ACT
Wilson Foundation Makes No
Presentation This Year

New York, Jan. up -- The
Woodrow Wilson foundation in
tends to make no award for the
most unselhsh act o. public service
by an individual for 1925,
Such an award was made a year
ago to Viscount Cecil Of Chclwood
and was expected this year, but
Norman II. Davis, president of the
foundation, announced after n
meeting Of the trustees today, that
they had not been able to agree
upon a recipient and had voted to
make no award for the past year.
At the Woodrow Wilson birth
day dinner here on December %
surprise was expressed that the
award was not announced during
the memorial gathering as It had
been the previous year. Though no
official explanation was offered, 1t
was rumored the trustees had de-
cided TO vote the award in three
prizes 10 Austen Chamberlain OF
rcat Britain. Aristide BRAND of
France and Doctor Gustave Stresse-
mann Of Germany for their serv-
ices In negotiating the Locarno
treaty il also was said that Doctor
Strcssemann had declined TO ac-
ccpt such a prize if it was voted,
because Woodrow Wilson, by not
insisting that the fourteen points
be carried out literally, betrayed
the German people"
In his statement today Mr..
Davis denied that the prize had
been offered anyone though he ad-
mittcd the three foreign ministers
had been considered by the trus-
tees. He said he had not heard Of
DIR. Stressemann's refusal and that
the subject could not have been
discussed with him officially.
The foundation has a fund of
about 100000 from the income of
which the awards are made. Lord
Cecil was given $4,000.
