HOLDS OUTSIDERS
|NJURE FOOT BALL
Alumni and Business Men,
Only Real Trouble, Says
0gIethorpe Head.
BY DILLON GRAHAM.


" trouble with foot ball is a
~ vicious system of management
rather than the granting of
scholarships, in the opinion of DR..
Thornwel Jacobs, president of Ogle-
thorpe University.
THE fault lies in the vicious system
of allowing alumni, students and cut
side business men to operate and con-
troll the athletic programs. Consequent
lack Of interest in and authority over
athletics by the college faculties is at
the bottom of all so-called evils of the
game" DR.. Jacobs believes.
These schools would not consider
turning over the operation of their
chemistry department to students and
alumni, but, evidently, think nothing of
placing one of the most important and
most popular departments in their
hands.
Must Be Controlled.
THE department of physical culture,
including intercollegiate and intra-
mural sports, should come under the
faculties. the same as any other class
or subject, with the coach having direct
supervision"
DR.. Jacobs favors the awarding of
self-help scholarships to students, ath-
letes or non-athletes who need aid to
finance their way through school,
Il don't hesitate to offer a scholar
ship to a good violinist to study here
and play in our orchestra, so why the
objection to making the same PROPOSE
ton to the athlete?" he says ANY
other attitude in the matter is hypo-
critical If this is Substitution, you can
say Oglethorpe University is in favor
of it.
"A college athlete receiving help
should not be regarded as a professional
He is as clean an amateur as any. He
receives less for his participation than
the so-called amateur in golf. tennis
and other sports not connected with col
legiate sport"
Sees No Overemphasis.
Dr. Jacobs says there is no such thing
as overemphasis in foot ball.
1T may be that other departments
are underemphasized. but certainly the
physical culture division is worth all
the attention given to it. An athlete
gives less time to his game than to any
single subject of his college course.
The professors and faculties are at
fault in cases of students who are
allowed TO play regardless of their
scholastic standing. A professor should
adhere strictly to the scholastic require
ments in passing or failing an athlete.
If such course were adopted univer-
sally the tramp athlete would quickly
pass out"

STATE DEPT OF
 ! MOTOR VEHICLES
To Make Suggestions About Rules of Road to
 General Assembly
TOO MANY STATUTES

It is the plan of the Connecti- cut Department of Motor Vehicles to rewrite the existing state laws affecting motor vehicles and rules of the road with the view of pre- senting one comprehensive and, so far as possible, complete matter of legislation on these subjects to the general assembly of 1893. This announcement was made today by Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins B. Stoeckel.
 The aim is to simplify, condense and coordinate existing laws so that in both theory and fact there will be fewer rather than more sta- tion can, 1t is believed, be accom- plished under four or five general headings. Those contemplated under the plan are: "The Individ- ual," "The Motor Vehicle and It's Equipment" Traffic." Depart mental Functions and Relations to the Public" and "Interlocking Ac- tivities" such as the licensing of gasoline stations, junk yards and control of objects which might be considered traffic hazards.
 Probably no development in the past forty years," says Mir Stoeckel, has evolved so much an diver gent. legislation as the motor ve- hicle. Many laws still remain on the books that were framed to meet one certain set of facts and. when applied generally, are too strict or fall short of the ordinary . application desired to merit re- spect and vigorous enforcement.
 There still is, and probably always will be, a need for certain Must and Must Not laws in connection with motor vehicles, but changing conditions, new im- provements, or progressive devel- opments affecting such widely spread or universally encountered human necessity as the motor ve- hicle can, and should, be met with reasonable flexibility in state legis. lation. This flexibility so termed, may perhaps seem to make effec- tive administration more difficult. On the other hand such a program may be construed at first, by the informed or misinformed, as lean. ing towards arrogant bureaucracy, but the imposition of sound discre- tion and it's reasonable application in many instances is better and more satisfactory than mass of continually changing or amenda- tory legislation.
 "The motor vehicle has often been inaptly defined as a "self- acting or self-regulating road wa- gon'. When it comes, however, to the now well recognized right of the state to impose conditions for public protection 1t is at once seen the motor vehicle is neither self acting nor 'self-regulating'. The human element in connection with motor vehicles is ever present, and consequently, must be carefully considered. Therefore, the 'hu- manizing' of motor vehicle legisla- tion must be weighed and appor- toned to make for successful ad- ministration and public respect"

 On the day prior to that fixed by Johnson for his departure, the urgent matter was revealed. Press dispatches reported that Minister Johnson had been married.
