Saws Critics Silenced.

MA. GRIFFITH in his address de-
V clared that for the first time
in four years college foot ball
finished the season without any ques-
ton being raised or bitter attacks being
launched by its critics. He said that
from reports, college athletics were be-
ginning to emerge from the depths Of
depression.
There has not only been an increase
in attendance at foot ball games this
Fall" Mai. Griffith said, but also an
increase in gate receipts The increase
of gate receipts ranged from 10 to Is
per cent"
The Rev John F. OHara, vice presi-
dent OF the University Of Notre Dame
and chairman OF its board Of athletics,
in an address gave an analysis of the
trend of athletic administration in
colleges since the war. giving particular
attention to the ways in which the
profits Of sport spectacles have been
utilized

promote better understanding be
tween the academic and athletic
faculties Of the Nations colleges.
Faculty and teachers" he. said;
should maintain q sympathetic ana
cooperative attitude toward athletics
rather than 'hands-of' policy
Athletic coaches should in turn
thoroughly understand the educational
aims Of the institution and so conduct
themselves as to gain friendly con-
hdence in the academic group.
Competition should be between
institutions that are of equal rank IN
education and athletic power. l 40
not believe in scheduling games with
institutions known to have unSatH-

Brewer advocated shorter schedules,
