SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIIANDER JOHNSON.

Lightning Bugs.
Again the leafy June is here
In resplendent show.
The lightning bug is drawing near
With intermittent glow.
Industriously it seems to try
To see what it's about.
Most brilliantly 1t starts to fly,
And then its light goes out.
Although they luminously swarm
Out yonder in the grove.
A billion of them would not warm
A plain old kitchen stove,
Though candidly I must agree
Its usefulness is small,
A lightning bug I'd rather Be
Than bring no light at all.

National Collegiate A. A. has taken
a definite step forward in its cam

SubSidization Of college athletes,
particularly football players.
The N. G. A. AS adoption Of a
nine-point code for the guidance Of
its members, beset BY these twin
athletic evils. was regarded by COL

direction despite the fact that the
code Is not binding upon anyone.
They pointed out that the code,
for the first time. definitely de-
fines certain practices which the
N. c. A. A. regards as unfair"
These "unjustifiable practices. as
stated in the code. include: Flat
subsidies to athletes; pay for work
at higher wages than other stu
dents receive; employment before
naturalization or payment in ad-
vance for work to be done; loan
ing money for RENTING fees be-
cause q boy Is an athlete; arranging

ployment. loans. scholarships other
than those available to any stu

COACHES FACE
HEAVY LOADS
They Are Called Upon To
Curb Drinking In
Grandstands

NEW YORK. Dec. %. PJ-hmeri-
can college football coaches turned
Saturday toward the new year, wor-
ried not alone By the task OF re-
building their teams for another
season. but with added concern in
their ranks over solemn warnings
to protect the game by stamping
out semi-professionalism. discon-
tinuing unethical practices and
helping to curb drinking or gam
bling among the spectators.
The large order Of advice, sugges-
ton and fresh responsibility for the
gridiron coaching profession. de-
livered in the course Of their an
nual meeting of the American Foot
ball Coaches association. was COM
pleted Friday night by William j.
Bingham's ringing declaration that
college football Is at the cross
roads where there can be no COM
promise between amateurism and
professionalism.
Harvard's energetic athletic di-
rector. somewhat "on the spot
himself at a time when the Grim
son is seeking a new head coach 70
achieve more satisfactory results,
~challegened the coaches TO chart a
clear course" II We are TO get rid
Of the confusion in colleges on the
type OF athletic policy educational
institutions should have" said
Bingham. If winning football is
necessary for prestige, then the
matter Of first importance Is TO
procure football players. They can
be had for a price. An authority is
quoted in the press that a top
notcher Is worth as much as ST.
900.
AN institution may hire a coach
to go out and get football players
and he Is worthy OF his hire only
to the extent he can procure good
athletes to make UP his team. Such
a coach must have athletic scholar
ships. ''' Very often scholarships
do not suffice, and when COMPETE
ton is keen there must be. in addi-
ton. free board and room. and
sometimes incidental expenses. or.
to put il bluntly. salary"
