|eEmpasse foot Ball Gains Toans Be at Peak Tulane

a bonded Indebtedness upon stadiums
and other large athletic facilities which
in the last year and a half have as
sumed alarming proportions in relation
to gate receipts from college foot ball.
There is no reason to doubt the
estimate made last year to the effect
that the country over profits from
foot ball decreased about Is per cent
from those of the season Of 1929. If
this is true, there is no reason to doubt
the further estimated decrease for 1881
of 10 per cent.
In certain instances the decrease has,
Of course, been much greater. For ex-
ample, at two universities Of the Big
Ten, profits from foot ball have fallen
much below the ratios indicated.
Colleges Hard Hit
Of the 800 odd colleges and univer-
sites reporting to the United States
Office of Education, it seems safe to
estimate that not over 100 are receiving
from intercollegiate foot ball a mon
etary return commensurate with the ef-
fort that has gone into the season. OF
these 100 institutions probably not more
than half will be able to proceed with
intercollegiate and even intramural ath-
letics on the basis of former years.
Retrenchment appears to be indicated
at numerous institutions. Certain spe-
cialized coaches have already been re-
leased. The salvaging of athletic cloth
ing is proceeding much more econom-
icaly than ever before in the past
Luxury in personal equipment and IN
accommodations for teams on the road
is giving place to a reasonable Ameri
can standard of utility and comfort.
Yet even with these economies, many
of which are now drastic, the situation
from the point of view of the college
whose stadium is not yet paid for may
be very serious indeed.
The decrease of funds from inter-
collegiate foot ball has been accompa-
MED by decline of undergraduate
interest in intercollegiate athletics
Among undergraduates there is grow
ing concern with intellectual pursuits.
At some institutions this change has
passed far beyond the powers of the
pep session" orator to influence for
very long.
Interested in Studies.
The spread of comprehensive ex-
aminations, a tendency to become in
| terested in what really challenges ones
intellectual powers, aud the reappraisal
of opportunities to which these factors
| lead are influential.
1t remains to be seen whether the
colleges, the alumni and the public can
and will keep pace with them.

secretary OF the carnegie FouEdatlon.
n YEW YORK, December 10
m John F. Meehan's decision
i Y not to be a candidate for
reappointment as foot ball
coach at New York University
probably surprises the athletic
authorities at the university as
much as 1t does many of his other
friends.
New York University is one of
several institutions cooperating
in the Carnegie Foundation S
study of American college ath-
letics with which members of the
foundations staff have advised,
formally or informally, concern
ing policies and procedure during
the last three years.
So far as I myself have been aware
there has not been serious thought of
dropping Mr. Meehan as foot ball coach
at New York University.
oulALlS GIIc ldSI lll1tt SedLS Ille COIL
Viction has been renewed in college
and university quarters that RESPONSE
buity for the conduct and values of COL
lege sport at individual institutions
rests primarily upon the already heavily
burdened shoulders of the president,
and then upon the faculties and the
officers Of the athletic department.
This appreciation was pointed out
some time ago in a publication of the
Carnegie Foundation. The months sue
ceeding the appearance of that publica-
ton have merely served to strengthen
our conviction as to the truth of the
statement.
Five Adopt New Plans.
Among notable plans for reorganiza-
ton of athletics at several institutions,
announced during the last 12 months,
at least five have re-emphasized this
consideration: Columbia University, the
University Of Denver the University of
Minnesota, the University of Pennsyl-
vania and Syracuse University.

sport are not so simple as the out-and-
out idealists would have us believe.

TINE farther the Southern
California team goes, the
i better it looks. We didn't
believe there was any team
which could spot Notre Dame a
couple of touchdoWns and then
win. We didn't think that there
was a team which could march
through Georgia to the tune of
600.
Tulane won from Georgia by score
OF 2O-7 and we thought that was a fine
performance, although Georgia was a
bit lucky to nose out New York Uni

considerably weaker team than Ten

L. A MadiganS pupils were good foot
ball players, but few would class them
with Southern California
California Looked Good.
Against Dartmouth Stanford ap-
peared great eleven, but it lost to
California, which induces us to believe
that California was good. Still, the
fact Of the score to the contrary, it was
not within a touchdown as good as the
squad coached by Howard Jones
Now comes Southern California's final
test against Tulane There will meet
two OF the strongest teams in the game.
Only Tennessee could challenge Tulane's
claim to supremacy in the South, al
though it has seemed to me that Ala
bama must have a powerful eleven.
Alabama's game against Tennessee
must have been like the game Pitts
burgh played against Notre Dame and
the game Army played against Pitts
burgh
If, without reference to victories. de-

Back to Cadle

Back of the effort of Howard Cadle to regain pos
session of the tabernacle which he dedicated to the
memory of his mother is drama that will appeal to
every citizen. The vast majority will undoubtedly
cherish hope that he succeed.
He relates the story of his emergency from the
gutter to a position of some wealth. his giving Of
his money to the furtherance of religious CENTER the
loss of the building and its for purposes far sep
arated from the religious ideal.
One need have no sympathy with the fundamen-
talist viewpoint of the revivast to believe that
real revival of spiritual outlook is needed in these
days of change and of turmoil.
The people feel growing need of spiritual fort
cations 1t is about all that is left by the forces of
greed to growing number of people.
Any influence that contribute to new fidelity
to the Sermon on the Mount needs encouragement
and support. Any force that help to lift people
from despair to hope should be welcomed
One cardinal teaching at the Tabernacle in the
old days was that of individual responsibility In
these days the trend is to put all respectabilty-
moral economic and spritual-upon organized
forces. The temptation is to put policeman and
not a conscience on guard over human actions. The
Cadle philosophy different.
1t can be said with all certainty that no person
ever left the old Tabernacle services worse citizen
than when he entered.
~ For that reason, if for other, let it be hoped
that this semi public institution is returned to its
pristine purpose.
