The ROckne Influence.

IN the new foot ball the late Knute
i K. Rockne of Notre Dame, became
the master strategist and he developed
at his own college those colorful teams
Of the Wandering IRISH" who Travelled
from coast to coast playing games that
were just one melodrama after another.
At one unimportant game where the
Notre Dame foot ball team played they
had the record sports crowd for the
United States.
The hysteria attendant upon this
rising popular interest in the game led
the thoughtful ones to point out that
the game was being overemphasiZed
Every year the Association Of American
College Professors would meet and de-
nounce the overemphasiS. But when the
foot ball season rolled around again the
emphasis would be increased.
Then came the report of the Carnegie
Foundation which had carried on an
extensive investigation of the over
emphasis. They discovered that good
foot ball players were being recruited
by the most ethical" of the colleges
and that these were being subsidized
In fact some of the alumni of some of
the colleges had a better scouting sys-
tenn for obtaining players for their
schools than the big professional base
ball leagues have been able to organize
The report was published, but the in
vestigators, who wanted TO be liberal
and who had no other purpose in max
ing the investigation than a desire to
clean up the game, withheld names of
colleges and individuals. The report
was issued merely as a warning. There
had been some attempt to laugh it OF,
but happen to know that most of the
colleges admit the conditions and are

up a cup which will go to the Legion
naire who served in the Army during
the war and who makes the best score
among the former soldier contestants
That daring old salt from Quincy,
MaSS.-Charles Francis Adams, Secre-
tary of the Navy-has put up a cup to
go to the Legionnaire who was a sailor
or Marine during the World War and
who makes the lowest score in the tour
na1nent among former sailor and
Marine entrants.
The Legion tourney will be medal play
at scratch, and will be over the SO hole
distance. The two major trophies will
not become the property Of the 1ndivid-
ualS winning them.
Golf competition attracted much at
tention at the annual Legion conven-
ton held last year at Boston, where the
tournament was held at the Wollaston
Golf Club. Golf has spread so far
among the Legion that in some sections
the Legion owns and operates golf links,
while in others it has sponsored the
organization of a club or co-operated
with the local governments in building
courses.

Also James j. Corbett is responsible
for clothing this racket with a sort of
quasi responsibility. His example gave
the boosters a chance to contend that
prize fighting really was the manly
art of self defense" Mr.. Corbett, a
hale and hearty gentleman, Is still
around to demonstrate that a prize
fighter does not necessarily wind up in
the gutter. Moreover, Mr.. Corbett still
can step around very rapidly for a few
one-minute rounds.
But the big money came into the
game with Jack Dempsey, who was a
boxer and a fighter, but more en-
phatically the latter. Just before he
crawled from under freight car and
into the lime-light, it was in a very
low state. The glamour had gone from
it. But after Dempsey battered down
game started to get into the realm Of
big business.
Tunney's Refinement Hurts.
The million dollar gate was made q
reality and after that almost a three
million-dollar gate. The boys started
to think that it would last forever when
Gene Tunney stepped into the picture.
Now Tunney was as distinct a per-
sonality as James ]. Corbett and in
many ways like him. But Gene Tun-
ney beat the fight game in two ways.
He beat it to a fragile as the boys
would say. He took more than $2,000,-
900 out of it and then tossed aside the
heavyweight championship title with
gesture of contempt.
In fact the career of Tunney
amount to an expose of the fight racket.
nnnrnd until M
liking for harming a fellow being, he
made up his mind that he had the
physical equipment to become heavy
weight champion, not because be had
any reverence for the title or any IL
lusionS concerning it.
He had figured that it would be the
quickest method Of reaching the finan-
cial independence which would permit
him to do the things he wanted to do.
And the things for which Gene Tunney
cared are not in the roSin dust nor in
the back rooms where the ring followers
congregate. BY force of WILL by superb
championship and his millions.
Then with superb force of will he dis
carded it. The effect of that gesture
was drop in the values of caulihowers.
1t will be some time before there viii
be any signs Of an upward trend.
The turning point of the game of
intercollegiate foot ball was around
about the time when the forward pass
was made part Of foot ball strategy.
That was the start Of the thing that has
developed into what they are now call
interest came with the change of the
rules until the foot ball fans outnum-
bered all Of the sports followers every
Fall.

follow suit.
The Carnegie Foundation report
marks a turning point in foot ball and
the turn will be for the better.
Base Ball Reform.
THE turning point for the national
l. pastime came directly after the
world series of 1919 when the
patrons discovered that it was not only
possible for gamblers to manipulate a
world series, but it had been done. This
caused the magnates, who were consid-
erably terrified by the storm Of popular
Indignation, to hire KeneSaw Mountain
Lands as a car and Super-detective to
see to it that Encouragement at the
top would not go to such length that
1t could not keep watch over the game.
Babe Ruth did the rest with his bat.
He made them forget that base ball
exposure Of the BLACK Sox' was a
warning to both athletes and magnates
that will last for perhaps another so
years.
The turning point for American golf
came with the entrance Of such profess
SIGNALS as Hagen and Sarazen into the
game and such amateurs as Francis
Ouirnet and Robert Tyre Jones. The
achievements of Jones, in particular,
established this as q golfing nation.
The Davis Cup contests were the
principal factors in the turning point Of
lawn tzlnis interest. Then there were
the figures of Maurice Mclaughlin,
Little Bill Johnston and Big Bill Tilden,
particularly the latter, who, at his peak,
was the greatest of the tennis players
Of the world.
At the current writing the interest in
the various sports, in spite of financial
depreSsions and the general worriment,
is rising rather than falling, excepting
in one instance. doubt that there ever
again will be a million dollar gate for
a prize fight. But that Is nothing to
deplore Very strongly
