tacular that they quickly and in alarming measure attracted the at tention of the public. Gate receipts grew and gate receipts at institu- tions whose teams won the great CT number of games exceeded the gate receipts of other institutions
 This seemed to make it desir- able that there should be set up at each institution every possible fa- cility designed to increa Sc the chances of victory.
 "The time ana energy of student players was so completely absorbed that they remained students in name only.
 The futility and vlciousness of the whole situation soon began to be apparent to all thinking per- sons :. the first and most essen tial step (was) for the institutions to face the responsibility of bring ing sanity and wholesomeness back.

zUPPKE AND
 GRANGE OFF
 ON FOOTBALL
M erits of Collegiate and Professional Games
 Discussed

CHICAGO, H., Oct. 23.-What about the relative merits of col legiate and professional football and the players therein?
 Hark to the conflicting opinions of perhaps the most famous college star of recent years to enter the pro" ranks-Harold Red" Grange, and the coach who gave the Gal loping Ghost" his chance to make the headlines in a big way, Bob zuppke of Illinois.
 "zup' says he has no quarrel with pro football but sizes it up this way:
 That it's motion without emotion, that pro players carry too much weight, that they've lost their zest for the game, that they're inclined to save" themselves, and that there are no directing heads to weld the representatives of differ ent systems" into a coordinated attack and defense.
 Grange Counters
 Grange, now 8 ,iaifback with the Chicago Bears, counters with de- fense of the professional game aft CT six years in it's ranks. Says Red:
 "Zup is talking about pro foot ball of ten years ago. don't think he realizes the tremendous strides the game has made ir the last decade.
 T have played on good college teams and on good professional clubs and I am ready to go on rec ord that there is no college team that can whip any of the leading professional elevens, and there hasn't been for a good many years.
 T give Zuppke credit for all he has done for me. He taught me all there was to know about playing left halfback But I have learned a lot of football since leaving Illinois I wasn't in the pro game long be- fore I realized it was important to know something about the other positions, too.
 Zuppke's Policy
 "Zuppke used to say that if we could stay with him for eight or ten years he would have football team. Well, that's the advantage professional coaches have-they can keep their talent as long as if measures up to required standards
 This talk about pro players be- ing anxious to save themselves is the bunk.
 Michigan tried no harder to stop me in 1924 than Green Bay, the Cardinals or some of the other pro clubs go up against"

 GRID FOEMEN

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 23.-1magine if you can a football battle between "Roughhouse" Riley and Scrap iron" Hammon on one side and "Sweetie" Davis on the other.

 How the opponents actually stack up will be known November IT when the Southern Methodist Mus tangs tangle with the Texas Ag- gies in a Southwest conference game.
 James Riley, tackle for the s. M U. outfit, weighs 199 pounds, and is noted for his aggressive style Of play. Marion Hammon, his run ming mate, weighs l98 and is some- times called "Scatterbolt" instead of "Scrapiron."

REPUTATION OF ARM FAILS

 Amputation of his left arm was necessitated last year after a bus carrying the Magnolia fo o b l squad collided with another ve- hicle and overturned.

The penalty of decency," as Penn State colleges president, Dr. Ralph D. Hetzel, expressed it, must be paid in the reformation of ath- letic systems The day after he said this, Penn State paid the first installment by dropping it's opening football game to so inconspicuous an opponent as Waynesburg.
 Penn State, where Killinger. Way and others galloped to football fame a decade ago, has abolished subsi- dized athletics, high-powered and high salaried coaches and trainers, training camps and other signs of ccmmercialized age in college sport
 Penn State,' proclaims it's presi- dent, took the lead in the east in abolishing all subsidiaries to stu dents, granted for athletic skill. It has been followed within year by the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia university and others in this very vital forward step
 We are now In a period of tran sition. We shall pay in measure the penalty of decency and prog ress but ultimately we shall receive our reward. I think there is no question but what this movement will, in the near future, become universal in America.
 Pending that time, it is entire ly possible that we shall compete with some of our old rivals at a disadvantage. It is the policy, how ever, that as rapidly as is possible, we shall turn to competitors who are willing to subscribe to the same measure of fair play and good sportsmanship as we have estab- lished."
 In other words they are hoping for the best at Penn State. Mean while, nothing will be dore to dis courage the gate receipts.
