GEORGETOWN MEETS CANIS|US QUINT TONIGHT
SPORTS
Benefits Overlooked
Commercial Phase
Supports Other Sports
By KIRK MILLER

calling it a commercial show,
that is all right, because it is
commercial and that is the
phase Of football which makes
possible every other college
sport including those less vigor-
GUS ones in which the greater
majority Of students are able to
participate.
It is the commercial football
show that pays the freight Of
all other college sports and
without that Mr.. Pritchett is
going to deprive young men and
women of a lot of tennis, basket
ball, baseball, golf, handball,
fencing and other forms Of
recreation which keeps Jack and
his sister student from becom-
ing dull.
What about the benefits the
public gets out of football and
what about the emotional out
let for non-playing students
who are often part of this
socalled commercial show? No,
my dear Mr.. Pritchett, if there
were anything demoralizing
about the show put on for
college football you wouldn't
find so many fine, intelligent,
thrill-seeking people in the
stadia of the country every
Saturday. The vast public in
terest in the great collegiate
game contradicts strongly any
charges of decentralization.
About Pro Ball
But the latest Carnegie out
burst is not without a good
word for some kind Of football
the professional type. OF
that sport it says:
professional football teams
are fast becoming commercial
rivals Of the colleges.
''They play, Of course, q more
skillful and more interesting
game, including among their
players many scholars gradu.
ated from the colleges"
In such a statement the Car
negie report contributor is not
wholly correct either. It has
not come to the attention Of
anyone that professional foot
ball is particularly rivaling
college football. The two have
been very careful to Avoid con-
flict, thank you, each leaving
the other its own dates.
It is true that professional
football is gaining headway,
but not at the expense Of COL
lege football any more than it
is at the expense Of moving
q pictures, tap rooms or any
other institutions opened on
Sunday. One is a Friday night
or Saturday afternoon sport
and the other is a Sunday
sport which gives the man who
doesn't have college ties or
who works on Saturday
chance to see football in its
finest phase.
The Washington times., 1934-02-20
Another Grid Report
From Carnegie Group
Public ShOU Planned

In the first place I hate bulle-
tins and reports. The Govern
ment Printing Office and the
Congressional Library and House
and Senate document rooms are
loaded with them and they are
all dull and statistical. Unless
you happen to be a nut on
some particular subject treated
thereby, they make very heavy
Teading-winter or summer.
Perhaps that's one reason the
latest Carnegie Foundation re-
port decrying certain phases Of
college football has two strikes
and three balls on 1t even be-
fore I take it out of the heavy,
manila wrapper in which it is
mailed.
The thing looks foreboding
and one instinctively feels by it's
very appearance that somewhere
within it's pages there is a pack
Of grief. So there is; but if
the current observations of the
Carnegie people don't do any
more to slow up college foot
ball than their famous Bulletin
No. %, of 1929, did. it looks as
though you and I will gaze on
Q lot Of pigskin chasing this
fall and the next and the one
after that.
Just Half Right
Everyone is entitled to his
opinion and free speech and
print are inherent rights of us
all. That goes from the Car
negie Foundation right down to
the most rabid football fan.
On such a premise I'd like to
comment on one phrase of the
observations of President
emeritus Henry S. Pritchett,
to wit:
Football is an excellent game
for college boys when played as
q game. 1t is grossly demOraliz-
ing when developed into a COM
mercial show for the public"
PreSident-emeritus Pritchett is
Just so per cent right in that
statement in that football as a
game is o. k. for college boys.
That leaves him so per cent
wrong-according to my view
point and I parry with this
question:
Wouldn't the young men play
ing football just for the sake of
a game be more demoralized if
the sport were played before a
few spectators than if the
stands were filled with the roar
ing, enthusiastic and possibly
Tabid public which exhorts the
players on to do their best?
Fathers Other Sports
If you want to see a dull,
lifeleSS, uninteresting football
game which works no stimulous
on the participants, just start
barring the public. Take the
show away from football and no
modern collegiate would react
to the game.
If Mr.. Pritchett insists on
