CAMPUS COMMENT
BY KNUTE ROCKNE :

Olympic marathon last year, and
Joic Ray ran in empty pavilionS
around the country last fall.
AS many as thirty ana 1orty years
ago there was quite a bit of interest
in professional sprinting However,
the gamblers spoiled this and the
saps who we're foolish enough to bet
on their fayorite runner in the old
days still are numerous enough, and,
remembering how they we're gypped
in the lod days, probably would at
tend with SIX shooters on their hips
hoping to get even with some one.
We have definite professional
sports in this country that have be-
come accepted by the public. Every
efTor is made by the promoters of
these sports to keep them free from
the control of the gamblers. Except
for the popular paStime Of wrestling
they succeed fairly well.
Wrestling today is just about as
honest as professional foot racing
was in the old days. Paddock's sug-
gostion is interesting but not feaS-
ible. Track athletics, from the very
nature of it. can not be anything
but an amateur sport.
