Full Publicity Urged.

TEN YEARS ago, when Red Grange
L was in his prime, had a long
talk on this same subject with George
Huff, athletic director at Illinois.
IT can see but one answer to this
whole question:" Huff said. THAT IS
to cut out all hypocrisy and bring
the entire tangle into the open. Let
every university and every college
give out all the facts about its foot
ball players-including how much
they are being paid"
This idea still stands up. 1t
is the only answer worth con-
sidering.
This publicity should include ath-
Ietic scholarships-the job an athlete
is given-how much he gets for 1t
and the college courses he is taking.
In certain universities even a foot
ball player has to take such work as
English, Latin, mathematics, history,
ETC., where in others he can get by
on a business course, agriculture or
acting as a blocking back for an ath-
letic degree.

Already paying off one of the big

Griffith shipped the veteran Heinie
Manush to the Boston Red SoX and
in return the Washington ball club
was sent two fly chasers in Roy john

claimed Griffith, strictly was a swap
with no cash involved.
The transaction raised the total
of gardeners on the Washington club
to eight and left the slab staff as
objectionable as ever, but despite
the outward lack of headway in boil
stering the Nationals the trade af-
forded some satisfaction to Griffith.
In unloading ManuSh he sent away

Seen Way TO End Foot Ball Hypocrisy.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

Mehre, Ralph Sasse, Biff Jones, Jim
my Phelan-on and on and on.
It's the manpower than counts. And
with foot ball playing to such tre-
mendous gates-now the Autumn sport
of outside millions-the temptation
to go out and get good foot ball play
ers has been stronger than most will
powers could face.
A majority Of the universities
have done just this. The scram-
BILE has been terrific-and it will
get still hotter.
There are hundreds-probably thou
sands-of young fellows who can play
good foot ball, but Who haven't the
money for college education. Why
not let them get it? o. K-Dut why

Little "Amateur" Competition.


T HAVE known any number of foot
ball stars thrown out of certain
colleges, or unable to enter. who be-
came three-year stars at other 1nsti-
tutions where you could get by on
long division and short subtraction.
This turns foot ball competition into
joke.
A campus such as the University
of Virginia, where foot ball player
is neither lured nor coddled nor paid,
hasn't an outside chance to have a
winning team. In any number OF
sections they even go within a few
yards of rival campus gates to get
their men.
There are established foot
ball funds for well over 200
universities-the sole object Of
which is to bring in good foot
ball players and see they are
being taken care Of.
If your reply is-"All right-what's
the harm?" My answer is-"All
right-what's the harm in full pub
eAAS
open? Why carry on the greatest
hypocrisy any amateur sport ever has
known?"
1t would be interesting to know
why good foot ball players are found
in universities a thousand or even two
thousand miles away from their home
towns.
It's Manpower That Counts.
