" VOLLEYBALLERS ARE STATE CHAMPS

As the result of their to game chester volley-ball aggregation, the Waterbury Y. M. C. A. volley-ball team has won the state champion ship for the second consecutive year. In the contest played Sat urday afternoon on the local Cen tral "Y" floor, the locals took the first game, dropped the next two, and wound up by taking the last two. Every game was won by only a few points separating the team scorings.
 The local squad has had clean slate all season, not having lost any matches, though many have been won by the scant margin of 3-2 contest.
 The local representation con- sisted of setup-men, Herb Pinter, Fred Ashmore, Donald post and Ray Ganung, and spikers George Merkle, George Holloway and Carl Hassell.
 Due to the expiration of the cap taincy term of Captain George Merkle, and who wished to be re- 1ievedfor next term, a meeting was conducted and Fred Ashmore was unanimously elected, which he &C., cepted. The team felt sure of an- other successful season in the fu- ture, as the new captain, Fred Ash more, has had many years of ex- perience, and knows volley-ball strategy.

Holding the North End Thomas club to three hoops from the floor, the Washington Hills, defend- ing City Amateur League basket ball champions, came to life yes- terday with a well-earned 26-14 victory over the former Brooklyn A. c. combine which has been pretty much of a disappoinment> to league fans all season. The fact that they also missed 17 out of 25 free throws was supplemental to their showing which was good enough during the first two periods but went from bad to worse during the last half of the game.
 Hard Luck
 An ankle injury to Yanol Carroll during the last period of play, also added to the misfortunes of the North Finders, but the real story of the game is based on the field goal scoring, Dunn and Sheehan scoring the entire three baskets while KEaft and Tracy counted 21 points during the fray and the team made 10 of IS free throws count. De- fensive play was stressed through out, the score being 6-3, 9-7, 16-18 for the first three periods, the Tom mics getting but one point in the third ten minutes of play. The

Pritchett of New York, in 1929, wrote the scathing preface to his toric bulletin No 23, lambasting the entire system of intercollegiate sports. His newest fling is a treat ise, "A Slump in the Football Trade. It is included in the foun- dation's annual report, issued to- day. He made particular point or a three-year contract between No- Ire Dame and Southern California, signed last spring.
 He said: "Last spring there two football enterprises (Notre Dame and Southern California; felt justi- fled in signing a contract for three years in their football business, which, in spite of the fact they are more than 2,000 miles apart and the expenses of travel are heavy, will no doubt yield satisfactory profit. These two institutions are among the most thrifty of all those engaged in the football industry"
 Reformcr
 Pritchett reproached botn schools asefollows: Ut is a far cry from the devotion of the fathers who founded Notre Dame and or the earnest men who laDored to create university in Southern Cal ifornia to the three-year contract these colleges have signed to ex- ploit their football teams for com mercial purposes"
 He charged that football com mercialism is perhaps the most striking example "of the current in American life that sets away from intellectual ideals. When an insti- tuition of higher learning exalts a professional sport to place of prominence above that of its schol- arly life, it has turned it's face backward"
 Challenge
 It would be 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 ac- tivitise; and still more interesting and important if they would indi- cate the relation of the football in- dustry and the intellectual life.

location of field Offices and a brief sta
tistical measure of its activities.
