CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Urban (Red

player and the American Leagues
only spitball pitcher, today sought
employment with another major
league club for the first time in his
career.

him Saturday, terminating twenty
years of continuous service with that
club.
But Faber did not voluntarily quit
the White Sox, according to the As
year-old pitchers version of what
happened at Comiskey park when
he came to discuss his contract.
Il didn't authorize the White SoX
to announce my retirement" said
Faber from his home at Cascade, Ia.
They forced me to quit because
they wouldn't pay me enough money
to live on. I can't pitch for
nothing"
Faber planned to return to Chi
cago today to get his release from
the White SoX in order to dicker
with other clubs for his services.
Faber has definitely made up his

He said: Last spring these two
football enterprises (Notre Dame
and Southern California; felt justi-
fed in signing a contract for three
years in their football business,
which, in spite of the fact. they are
more than 1000 miles apart and the
expenses of travel are heavy, will no
doubt yield a satisfactory profit.
These two institutions are among
the most thrifty of all those en-
gagged in the football industry"
Condemns Sports System
Pritchett reproached both schools
as follows: ut is a far cry from the
devotion Of the fathers who founded
Notre Dame and Of the earnest men
who labored to create a university
in southern California to the three
year contract these colleges have
signed to exploit their football
teams for commercial purposes"
He charged that football CONNER
cialism is perhaps the most striking
example "Of the current in Ameri-
can life that sets away from in
tellectual ideals. When an inStitu-
ton of higher learning eXalts a
collegiate sport to place Of
prominence above that of its schoI-
arly life, it has turned its face
backward"
1t would be a real contribution to
education, Pritchett said. if Notre
Dame and Southern California
would indicate how far the profits
of their football business are used
in supporting their educational &C
tivities; and still more interesting
and important if they would indi-
cate the relation of the football in
dustry and the intellectual life.
Student Dueling Better
The football industry does not
prevail among the we'll known uni
versitieS of Europe, he said, but mo
one can foretell what civilizing in
f1uence NCtre Dame and Southern
California may exercise upon the
backward universities of Europe"
Pritchett thought football more
dangerous than the student dueling
in Germany where "a fatal encoun-
ter is practically unknown and a
serious wound is SO rare as to be
negligible"
Football, he said, lis an excellent
game for college boys when played
as a game. 1t is grossly democrat
izing when developed into a COM
mercial show for the public. To
make hundred thousand dollars
by exploiting students before the
public is no part Of the work of
college. that stands for intellectual
ideals

White SoX again, although Vice
President Harry Grabnier said:
We'll take Faber back if he wants
to come"
The last game Faber pitched in
dicateS that all the cunning and
power hasn't left the veteran spit
baller'S arm. He pitched the second
game Of the city series last fall, held
the Cubs to five hits and BANKED
them, 20
Faber pitched eighty-six innings
last season, mostly in relief roles,
winning three games and losing
four. He ranked fifteenth in earned
runs with an average of 345. Dur
ing his twenty-year career he won
252 games and lost 210.
Faber is the last survivor of the
Inflated 1919 White SoX club, nine
of whom were banished from base
ball in the BLACK Sox" scandal
the following year. Faber did not
pitch in the 1919 series because of
a sore arm.

With Butler facing the Irish at In

fresh on their mind, things are not
so rosy at South Bend.
No rivalry in the state has any
more color attached to it than the
WabaSh-De Paw series. When
these two clash at Greencastle Fri
day night some fast action is as
sured. Wabash had the early sea-
son game between the two at Craw-
louisville all sewed up until the last
couple of minutes, but was nosed out
by one point.
Indiana Central will be out to
start another winning streak against
N. A. G. U. at the University Heights
floor. Ball State upset the Grey

Purdue appears to be in" with the
1884 Big Ten conference net cham
pionShip. Fresh from a decisive vic
tory over Iowa at Iowa city Satur-
Gay, cOcah Ward Lambert and his
Boilermaker five headed into the far
north section of the league where
they will battle the Minnesota
Gophers at Minneapolis tonight.
The second Hoosier entry in the
dig time loop, Indiana university,
headed into Iowa city today where
they hope to make the Hoosier
superiority over the HaWkeyes de-
cisive, at least for this week. The
Hoosiers took a close one from Chi
cago Saturday and if they knock off
Iowa there will not be many chances
left for any one to catch the Purdue
boys.
Several Important Games
With Valparaiso at home to De
Paul of Chicago tonight these three
contests will launch Indiana col
legiate hardwood performers on a
week Of seventeen engagements,
many of them of major Importance.
The Boilermakers' win over the
Hawkeyes undoubtedly taxed their
stamina, but the Lafayette per-
formers are expected to take" the
Gophers. However, Minnesota hand
ed Iowa an unlooked-for early-sea-
son setback and Purdue might be
caught on the rebound. Returning
to their home floor, the conference
leaders will be host to Michigan in
what should be another victory next
Saturday Only three more tusSles,
all important ones, against Indiana,
Wisconsin and Illinois in the next
two weeks, will wind up the Pur-
due card.
/. u. Has Two Tits
Indiana likewise has two games
this week and if the FIOosiers are
ION" tonight at Iowa and take the
Hawkeyes, they should be in great
shape for Illinois at Bloomington
Saturday. Confidence is the most
needed thing in the HOoSier camp
at present.
Four fine secondary college games
are on tap for Tuesday night with
Indiana State and Central Normal

likely will show Dayton a few tricks

this year. Manchester likewise
travels out of the state to Kalama-
ZOO college and chance for victory is
also very good.
