No Help
Carnegie Foundation
Expose Was White
wash, Warner Says.
BY GLENN S. WARNER
Member. All America Board Of Football
reg. L. 8. Patent Odice)

nALo ALTO, Cal, Nov. 13.-
Il I read in the papers not long
ago that the Carnegie Foundation
for the advancement Of learning
was going to make another in
vestigation of college athletics.
Perhaps the Carnegie Foundation
people realize by this time that
the perfunctory and casual in
vestigation and report which they
made last year was in reality a
whitewash Of college athletics, and
that their report probably has
done more harm to college ath-
letics than good
Many college athletic authori-
ties have felt that since the Car
negie report was published their
fears of exposure of evil prac-
tees in college athletics we're
almost groundless, and that be-
cause when the report was made
no great fuss nor indignation was
aroused BY it, there need be no
further caution or fear Of eX-
posure.
As q result since the report
came out I am told many insti-
tutions have gone into the bust
ness of PROSECUTING and subsl-
dizing athletic material for their
athletic teams on much broader
scale and without making any
great effort to cover UP their
activities.
n
rTHE Carnege report only stated
1 what college athletic authori-
ties were willing to admit to the
investigator. Those colleges and
universities which we're trying to
be on the square and conduct ath-
letics in a legitimate and ethical
way laid their cards on the table
while those institutions which
we're violating all the rules OF
amateurism as we'll as the rules
of the. conferences to which they
belonged did very good job OF
covering up and appearing to be
lust as clean IN their athletics as
those who made a clean breast Of
everything.
AS a result the report showed
about all of those investigated to
be about on the same plane as
far as practices open to critisim
we're concerned and only very
few institutions were given a clean
bill.
The publications Of the report
was i'll timed in that it was made
right in the most exciting period
of the football season. Most OF
those reading the reports and dis
cussing it reacted in about this
way when it was mentioned: "Oh
yes, I have read it, but what Of it?
DEFORE the report came out
ID many college athletic author
tiles, knowing that an investiga-
ton was being made and fearing
exposure, were in a very nervous
state. They awaited the report
with fear and trembling and when
it came out there were many signs
of relief. They figured their worst
fears had been groundless and
that they could go ahead with
their programs on bigger and
broader scale without further fear.
If you remember that Carnegie
report you will recall that mighty
little good was said in it about
anybody or about any institution
and no good word was said for
college athletics. Nevertheless
there are a great many reasons
why intercollegiate athletics
should be fostered and encouraged
providing they are conducted in a
legitimate way and made subordi-
nate to and an aid to the educa-
tional program

Coach Dick Hanley, however, told
the United Press today that Rent
ner positively would not play again
this season.
Weakened Is Per Cent
Rentner's loss will weaken the
Northwestern team by at least Is
per cent in the opinion of Coach
Hanley. Until he was hurt late in
the Minnesota game, Rentner, play
ing his first year of varsity football,
had been the one outstanding star
in the Wildcats attack.
Just how good Rentner is may be
illustrated by his achievements in
Northwestern's hardest games:
Made one of the two touchdowns against
Tulane.
Ran ninety-hve yards for the second
tt9lehdown against Illinois and threw
three passes to, Frank Baker, end, for
three more tOuchdowns.
Threw a pass to Baker for one touch
down against Ohio state and intercepted a
pass to score one of the other two touch
downs.
Threw -forty-yard pass to Baker for
figured in the Rentner- to Baker, Han
ley triple pass which gained seventy two
yards and the second touchdown.
With Rentner out Northwestern's
back field against Wisconsin will be
the same as started last week
against Indiana. Reb Russell will
play full back and Lefty Leach.
quarter back, with Hank Bruder and
Lee Hanley, who calls signals, at
half backs.
Badgers Tale of Woe
Rentner's loss isn't Northwestern's
only tale of woe. Coach Dick Han
ley complains that his players are
in poor mental shape and are being
pestered from outside sources, con-
corning tickets and the Notre Dame
game.
Gloom, however, isn't alone con-
fined to Northwestern, as Wisconsin
has appeared badly off form in
practice this week. One Madison
critic says the Badgers aren't tao
king as effectively as they they did
in spring practice.
I do not think We are as bad as
stated in some Of the papers, -
Coach Glenn Thistlethwaite wired
the United Press today. Practice
has been going very we'll and the
boys are eager for this game. 1t is
true that Northwestern's attack has
puzzled our varsity some in prac-
tice but we hope to get our share
of the breaks in the game. I plan
no radical changes in either ofTense
or defense for Northwestern.

Atlantic off the Florida Keys, Presi-
dent Hoover exercised the presiden-

and did not 60 fishing this morning
as he planned.
Instead he stayed aboard the
houseboat Saunterer and devoted his
attention to the first batch Of mail he
had received since he left Washing
ton Saturday night. Other members
Of the presidents party. however. put
out in small boats to continue their
sport. Mr.. Hoover planned to anchor
off Long Key shortly after noon and
renew his efforts to land another sail
fish.
One Of the reasons Nj. Hoover de-
cided to remain aboard the Saunterer
during the forepart Of the day was
that the sail fish seemed to be biting
with more frequency and regularity
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

only HOPE 50 FAR
FORPARR0TF FEVER
CURE lies SERUM
Hostile Organisms From Blood
of ConvaIescent Patients
May Be Beneficial
REPEL INVADING MICROBES
Too Early, Physicians Say, to
Prove Effectiveness, Due
to Infrequsnt Use

Washington, Feb. l2.-ReA serum
from the blood Of convalescent pa
tients is the one special weapon that
concentrated activity has given sci
ence In the battle against parrot
fever. And It cannot be said how
effective this Is because its use so
far has been only experimental.
Physicians Of the United States
public health service, which has given
the life Of q laboratory attendant and
has had q doctor stricken in its inves-
LEGATIONS OF the disease, said today
their brightest hope for the cure of
psittacosis centers in q serum re-
Gently prepared by the Baltimore city
health department. It consists of the
blood fluid after the red corpuscles
have been removed.
Similar Serums Beneficial
In explaining the result sought
from injection Of the serum, govern
ment physicians said the organisms
looked for as the cause of the malady
may be among the filterable viruses,
believed to be bacteria minute enough
to find easy going between particles
Of an earthen tube. Such serums,
they pointed out, have proved bene-
fetal in other diseases which are
known to be due to filterable viruses.
This Is based on the theory that
when an organism of this kind In
vades the body, somewhere in the
system multitudes of "anti-bodies," or
hostile organisms, are formed which
are poured into the blood to repel the
invading organisms, recovery Of the
patient, sets in.
It is held II they already have been
formed In the blood of one person,
they can be transferred to that Of an
other who has contracted the disease
or who has been exposed to 1t, and
perform the same function. Such
convalescent serum proved beneficial
In cases Of infantile paralysis.
Effect Not Guaranteed
It is too early. health service phy-
sicians said, to say whether the
serum Is effective in the light of the
few cases where 1t has been employed.
improvement has been observed after
its introduction, but this may have
been merely coincidental. Time alone
Is considered the Sure judge.
Location of the causative organism,
government laboratory workers ex-
planned, is practically ESSENTIAL for
quick diagnosis Of the fever and
effecting q cure. Until this, which is
being assiduously sought. has been
found. medical science was described
as virtually ''',lpless against the
disease.
