boy. 30 og!unquestiorably all the ap-
proaches made to him have had a
financial talking point.
The greater number of offers, it Is
likely, promise him free tuition, free
board and living. In return he will be
expected to perform manual work of
some sort. In examining opportunities
OF this kind he may be influenced by
the fact that in some cases the work
will be perfunctory. mere going
through the motion of working. and in
others he will be expected to earn his
money.
nR the bids may be more alluring-
~ free board and tuition and a stated
sum Of money deposited in the bank
to his account every term. II any one
thinks that no offers of the sort have
come to this player he Is not familiar
with the way foot ball material is
gathered in some quarters
No one, OF course. has any idea that
all this grabbing for outstanding high
school and preparatory school PLAYERS
leges in question, or that they have any
cognizance of 1t. Alumni and down
town business men are exclusively en-
gagged in this activity not only in the
East but elsewhere throughout the
country
A deserving poor boy who wants to
go to college is justified In availing
himself of opportunities to complete his
education, provided an education is
what he desires. And alumni who are
sending boys to college irrespective of
athletic ability are doing a great work.
Dean Hawkes. of Columbia says that
scholarships are awarded to boys who
are not athletes and are not withheld
from boys who are athletes. And that
is perfectly all right
But a condition which sees young
foot ball players on the auction block
in increasing numbers year after year,
confused and badgered and pestered,
is by no means all right. 1t may well
be pernicious in its effects upon boys
character, and we have evidence before
uG that in the long run it does a COL
lege no good.

n IEW YORK, December o.
BY a margin equally as
1 Y convincing as that gained
by Pepper Martin in the
individual field, Southern Califor-
MAS sensational foot ball team is
credited by the Nations sports ex-
perts with the outstanding indi-
vidual team achievement for 1881
in any branch of sport.
That's how highly they regard the
Trojan victory that ended the three
year winning streak of Notre Dame
There has been nothing in years to
compare with that fourth-quarter
comeback and triumph of Southern
California against the Irish" wrote
one sports editor, who voiced wide
spread feeling. 1T was a magnificent
team achievement IN every respect

This was exactly double the total for
the Sc Louis Cardinals, whose feat in
oVerthroWing the world champion Ath-
letl"S was voted the outstanding accom-
plishmont by So experts
The glamour of college foot ball, still
fresh in mind, perhaps swayed the
opinions Of some observers. On the
other hand, many pointed out that the
chief factors in the Cardinal base ball
victory were three exceptional indivi-
dual performers-Martin, Grimes and
II Jo11 1oa,
came through on the strength CT its
superb teamwork in the crisis against
Notre Dame.
Moreover. while the vote for the Tro-
jams largely was based on what they
did against the Irish, the fact also was
pointed out that U. S. c, routed almost
every foot ball foe after dropping the
first game of the season to St. Mary's.
If clincher is needed for the argu-
ment, the majority of st. Louis ex-
perts disclosed they had no prejudice
or doubt in their minds by voting for
Southern California in preference to
the home town Cardinals.

NJ Comment from the news
1 Y paper of small city in the

rather strikingly upon the decision
of the Southern Conference to ban
the Subsidizing and proselyting of
secondary school foot ball players.
The comment relates to one of
the best high school fullbacks in
the East, whose real name is with
held lest the boy be further be-
wildered by bids for his services.
Blank" says the article, has not
yet decided upon the college which will
eventually acquire his services. Accord
ing to reports number Of colleges have
explained to Blank how it will be to
his advantage to attend their schools
and, If anything, Blank is more con-
fused than ever before. His years lay
off has not hindered his reputation at
all He should take into consideration
that If he is seeking an education, one
college is just about as good as another,
although in specialized fields one or two
colleges excel. If, however his idea in
going to college is to play foot ball and
other sports and then continue in the
professional sport line, the place at
which he would attract most attention
as a foot ball or base ball player should
get his consideration"
THIS somewhat ingenious piece of
J. advice is chiefly important in that
it marks condition which is pub
licly accepted as matter of course.
This boy Blank" is in the market.
OF course, no one believes that the
offers which have so confused this full

cational advantages. or to advantages
in location, equipment, the delights of
