HARVARD ATHLETIC
STRAIN NOW EASED
Maximum Deficit of $50, ZOO
in Sports Fund for Year.
Is Permitted.
NAMBRIDGE, Mass, January

@AMBRIDGE, Mass, January
1 18-Reversing a previous
~ ultimatum that the 1888
"a Harvard athletic budget
must balance, President j. B.
Conant has authorized the COM
mittee on the regulation Of ath-
letic sports to operate under a
maximum deficit Of about $50, 900
for the fiscal year ending June,
1884.
At the same time William j. Bing-
ham, chairman Of the committee. an
nounced that drastic economies in all
sports for the remainder of the aca-
demic year would have to be made
in order to keep the athletic budget
within the newly authorized limit.
Faced with decline Of s55,ooo in
1888 foot ball gate receipts, as compared
to 1882, and with an ultimatum from
President Conant that the 1928 ath-
letic deficit of $4,000 would have to
be wiped out for 1933-34, the Ath-
letic Committee effected a saving of
almost $4,000 over last year by slash
ing Winter and Spring sports schedules.
The committee, among other things,
eliminated free sweaters for all letter.
men except frst-team members in GER
tain major sports, and abolished
trophies altogether. Details of the
econornv measures have not vet been
announced, but it is expected that in
tercollegiate teams more than ever will
bear the brunt of the curtailment pro-
gram.
President Conant's decision came as
a relief to officials Of the Harvard
A. A., who held that a balanced ath-
letic budget would cut seriously into
the basic program Of physical eduCa.

TWENTY PER CENT
PAID FOR SPORTS
Only Branch of Education
Burdened by Government,
Points Out Miles.
BY III. c. BYRD.

UTHE President Of the
United States and Con-
i gress are in a position to
do the biggest thing
that ever has been done for COL
lege athletics, namely, remove the
burdensome taxes now being i'm
posed on intercollegiate games"
said C. P. Miles, president of the
Southern Conference, shortly
after he came here today on the
occasion of the visit of the Vir-
ginia Polytechnic Institute basket
ball team for three contests.
This is the only instance I know Of
in the whole country, or in any in
which the Government has imposed a
tax on education, because II inter-
collegiate athletics are not part Of
our educational system. then I don't
know in what other category they can
be placed"
"The colleges not only are burdened
with a tax on admission, continued
Miles. ''but they also have to pay
tax Of 10 per cent on all the athletic
equipment they buy, and it is impos-
sible for me to see any justice in such
a system of double taxation. OF course,
it may be claimed that the purchaser
of admission tickets pays the tax and
not the colleges, but the actual effect
of such an arrangement IS that prac-
tically every dollar paid in taxes to
the Federal Government as tax on
admissions would go to the treasures
Of athletic associations if no tax were
levied This coupled with the addi-
tional tax of 10 per cent on all equip
ment forces the colleges to pay tax
Of 20 per cent on large part Of their
income. And there is no doubt in my
mind that this is the biggest burden
that college athletics are carrying
today and there is no further doubt
in my mind that it should be removed"

EASTERN BUOYED
BY DAVIS PLAYING
Proves Long Lay.oH Has Not

TOM DAVIS long enforced
lay-off due to a broken
i ankle apparently has not
dimmed his scoring eye.
The lanky Eastern center, for
the second successive day, has
proved this and as a result hopes
are Sky-high out Lincoln Park
way today.
Davis was the big howitzer in East
ern's crushing 45-to-29 victory over
Gonzaga yesterday in the Lincoln Park
gymnasium, scoring five field goals and
q foul shot for q total Of II points,
while his mates rallied behind the big
pivot man to play an improved brand
Of ball. Running the recently recov-
cred Davis close seconds in scoring were
Nolan and Edelin,, each of whom ac-
counted for 10 points.
GonZaga never was in the running,

CHANGES TO ADD

UnthinkabIe to Increase Risk

Langford.
BY WILLIAM S. LANGFORD,
Secretary National Foot Ball Rules Com
mittee

mlttee.
n 1EW YORK, January 18.-
m Now is the open season
/ y for shooting" the foot ball
rules and the firing is
quite general and from all di-
rectionS.
With so many shots being taken,
It Is altogether likely that some
may find their way into the
hearts of the Rules Committee,
but the indications are that that
body will adopt no radical
changes and will confine itself to
simplifying the code as much as
Is possible.
Suggestions for changes to make
the game more interesting from the
standpoint of the spectators" almost
Invariably would bring back hazards to
players which have already been elm
mated from the game, and it is pre-
dicted that the committee will accord
these but scanty consideration.
One suggestion is to abolish the dead
ball rule, another is to move the goal
posts back from the end lines to the
goal lines, either or both of which,
If adopted, would increase the chances
Of injury without any proportionate
compenSating benefit.
The present dead ball rule was
adopted in 1882 and provides that when
any part Except hands or feet of the
player in possession Of the ball touches
the ground. the ball at once becomes
dead and play ceases automatically.
Pros Disregard Safety.
"HIS rule has almost entirely elimi-
mated crawling" ie., attempts
by player to advance the ball
further after he has been downed, and
"piltng-up" or falling upon the player
with the ball after it has become dead.
Crawling" and 'piling-up" used to
be prolific sources of injury and it is
unthinkable that any lover of the game
would wish to gamble on the welfare
or hundreds Of thousands of foot ball
players for the sake of providing an
few spectators.
Some critics have argued that the
Rules Committee should give more
port foot ball and by so doing make
possible the whole athletic program of
the colleges. by giving them more
thrills These people ask that we
adopt the rules under which the pro-
fessional games are played so as to give
the spectators a real run for their
money"
The main difference between the
rules of the N. c. A. A. and the pro-
fessional code lies in the fact that the
latter failed TO follow the safety
measures adopted by the Rules Com
ntttee in 1882, including the dead ball
rule mentioned above, and the prohi-
bition of the flying block and flying
tackle.

Tax Decreases Athletics.

HnES voices the sentiment OF viz
VI tually 90 per cent, probably
" larger proportion than that, OF
all the colleges. The tax has increased
the cost of athletic equipment 10 per
cent and thus decreased the amount
Of equipment that can be bought. This
carried a little further simply means
that fewer men get opportunities to
take part in athletics because of lack
of equipment. And the money paid
to the Government in taxes on admis-
sions simply means that there is less
available for the maintenance Of gen.
eral athletic and physical education
programs.
There hardly is a college in the
United States that IS not hoping for
relief from these tax burdens before
the end of the present Congress

A young biologist, DR.. Robert
E. Cornish, puts a fox terrier to
death, then injectS a serum into
the blood stream and later an
nounces that the dog has been
brought back to life, to growl
and to eat.
This experiment at Berkeley
has attracted worldwide atten-
tion, especially among the lay.
men. To the scientists it is only
of passing interest for, as that
eminent surgeon DR.. Charles
Mayo says, the medical profes-
sion knows a lot about reviving
life in the lower brain cells,
those that govern organs in
animals.
Secret of Life
However, DR.. Cornish and his
dog serve to bring to mind the
intensive and silent search
which is going on in the labora-
tories of the world to discover
the secret of life, and to un-
ravel the mystery of death. 1t
is not so long ago that DR..
Eusebio Hernandez of the Col
lege of France. speaking to the
Physiological Congress in Bos-
ton, challenged the belief that
death is inevitable. He advo-
Gated the establishment of spe-
cial centers for experimental
study of death, "in which, with
out explaining the phenomena
of life, we may prevent those of
DEATH"
Some little evidence exists of
single organs of the body being
kept alive for periods of time
after the death of other parts.
The first known demonstration
goes back only to 1912 when
Prof. j. P. Hermans preserved
life in an isolated head for three
