DISPUTE OVER PAYING COLLEGE PLAYERS
DIVIDES GRID CIRCLES INTO TWO CAMPS

, Trouble shooters, however,
raise an interesting point. Under
the amateur code, man who re-
ceives remuneration of any sort
in payment for athletic skill is
a professional. Now suppose
that Able Jones of one of the
colleges in the Southeastern
group happens to be a great
hurler in addition to being a
fine line-bucker.
Suppose that the Olympic
games roll around, as they will
roll around in a few years. We
are not considering the impend-
ing controversy-torn Olympics at
this time. Suppose Able Jones
wants to represent Uncle Sam
in the Olympics. Will he be ELI
gible if he is aided by some rich
and influential alumnuS at some
Southern college. Or will it be
decided that such aid and such
jobs are not given in considera-
ton of athletic skill, but merely
to aid Able Jones to get a good
education.

Fur Aims
For Kdyo Win
Over Wilson

Nothing less than a knockout,
and a short order one at that,
will satisfy colorful Phil Furr
when he lays his District welter'
weight boxing title on the line
against Bob Wilson over a Is
round distance at the Arena,
14th and w Sts., N. w. tonight.
Admitting a healthy dislike for
Wilson, both in and out Of the
ring, Furr declares he will knock
out the redhead cold in the short
est possible order Monday. He
said:
For the first time since I
stopped Ray Bowen in the sum-
mer Of 1884, I'm going out for
"the kill" early. I've figured out
Bob'S style, know exactly what
he's got and don't feel that he
figures to give me any trouble.
"I've no real reason for dislik-
ing Wilson, but somehow we never
got along. Anyhow, if he doesn't
get in his Sunday" punch early
and surprise me, I'll breeze home
a winner by a knockout long be-
fore the fifteenth round.
Five scheduled four-round bouts
involving pleasing talent will back
up these hot local rivals.
Short bouts aggregating 20
rounds, bring together Pike Mus
kogge VS.. Tony Livingston; Joe
Doty VS.. Doug Swetnam; Billy
LarlderS VS.. Jimmy l. n caster;
Stanford Carrier VS.. Johnny Rose
and Jack Huey VS.. Johnny Mil,
Ter. the latter pair being colored

be called at $3.50 o'clock.

Smith Is Leader
In Golf Play

CORAL GABLES, Fla, Dec. 16.
Back in his old 1929 form, Horton
Smith today came up to the final
SO holes in the Miami-Biltmore
$4,000 Open championship lead
ing a star-laden field with a
sparkling 139, three under par.
Behind Smith came John
Mulutic, of Youngstown, Ohio, an
unknown tyro, with an amazing
l40, who coupled a brace Of 70's
on the opening SO. One stroke
further behind were Bruce Coltart
and Al Nelson. of New Jersey. AL
WatrouS, of Birmingham, Mich,
was the only veteran to show
among the leaders; he also fin
ished the opening round with 141.
Pre-tournament favoriteS, Gene
Sarazen, Johnny Revolta, and
Paul Runyan, Jagged. Sarazen
could do no better than a pair Of
74'S, and Revolta blew an easy
putt on the home green for a
total of 146, to tie Runyan, who
took II and IS.

Anate the field and corner the
supply of football talent.
Those who scan the field and
take the broader views are not
alarmed over such a prospect.
Coaches in their informal mo-
ment will tell you just how thor
oughly the high and prep school
ranks are canvaSsed. In some
cases elaborate card index sys-
TENS have been maintained. Some
coaches can tell you all about
some line bucking fullback in
Montana and the man in Mon
tana no doubt can tell you about
the punting sensation OF that
school in Maine.
It will rest with the colleges
themselves to Keep this "jobs for
athletes of athletic ability" within
sane bounds. For that matter.
the colleges themselves have al
ways been responsible for subsidies
to athletes. And in one form or
another, a good fullback or a
slashing tackle usually has been
able to do pretty well for himself
in any conference.
The Washington times., 1935-12-16

If a football player or a crack
oarsman matriculates at any
school. the matter of whether he
is paying his way through school,
or whether he is receiving aid is
not going to make too much diff
ference. If he is compelled to
maintain his scholastic standing.
and if the colleges are consistently
honest with themselves and the
boys in insisting that the regular
program of work is carried, the
boys will benefit.
Bill Alexander Of Georgia Tech
points out that the Southeastern
conference in previous years
leaned over backwards in its
effort to be "clean." He pointed
out that athletes were not eligible
for scholarships and jobs that
were open to other students. But
despite this, the wide world knows.
Southern football has been OF
uniformly high standard.
It's all out in the open now
and unless a helter-skelter race
for athletes develops, little fault
will be found.

Soccer Title
In League

In the only Recreation League
soccer game played yesterday,
Sun Radio defeated Littoria 3-2
on Rosedale playground. thereby
practically winning the first half
title. Sabaudia and Occoquan
forfeited to Mitchell Brothers
and Silver Spring respectively.
Bethlehem. Steel defeated Heu'
rich Brewers 81 in a southeast
ern league game at Benning.
Scores First
Sun Radio scored first in the
Rosedale contest but Littoria
equalized Immediately afterwards
and it was not until near the in
terval that any further scoring
was seen, the league champions
scoring twice in quick succession
from hard drives by Harding
which were touched through by
teammates.
Much superior team in the
second half, Littoria pressed
steadily but could score only
once, q long Shot Oy brulzeSe
slipping through Dore's fingers.
The Sun goal was often in dan
ger afterwards, only the SheereSt
of luck preserving it.
Land Is Held
Chaconas, Littoria custodian,
handled the ball but thrice in the
last period, so completely did
Littoria control the game then,
but the Radiomen managed to
retain their slight advantage to
the end.
Heurichs took an early lead at
Benning and held it for the first
half. but the visitors, showing
great combination and lots Of
speed after the interval, soon
evened it up and went on to
win rather decisively. Heurichs'
play Canton, of Baltimore, at
Benning next Sunday in the ma
tional amateur cup competition.

The football world has been dl-
vided into two camps by the cash
for touchdowns stand taken IN
the Southeastern Conference.
There are those who see col
lege football headed helter skel-
ter for the bow vows, with play
ers holding out for better terms
after the fashion of professional
ball players.
There is the group that halls
the move as the first construc-
tive step taken by the college in
many years. These men, leaders
in thought among college athletic
directors and those interested in
college sports see the game
purged of hypocrisy.
No step of such import can be
free from hazard. There may
develop bidding for stellar talent
that will be more intensive than
anything we have known yet. It
may come to a pass where the
college with the greatest finan-
cial resources in alumni and
undergraduate groups will domi-

aloud, her~voice choked.- Sonia, dar-

In the week that followed DR..
Jeffreys despaired Of Terry's life more
than once. Then came the happy
day when he announced the boy had
every chance Of living, that he was
responding. beautifully and would not
be blind. He said that the treatments
would take weeks, months probably,
and that famous New England eye
specialist would have to be called in
on the case. Betsy didn't realize that
Sonias $500 would be only fieck Of
foam on sea Of expense. Five hun
dred dollars seemed such q lot of
money. In her happiness over the
chance of Terry's recovery she thought
OF nothing but seeing him well again,
watching him throw back his head
in laughter, the same old Terry with
the wit quick on his lips.
With her mother and father and
Sonia, Betsy camped at the hospital.
She went to see Terry before going
to the office each morning and rushed
back to him every afternoon. She
wasn't away long enough, she told
Maysie Parker, to get the iodoform
and hot carbon out of her nostrils
Sonia, too, was never far from Terry's
door.
Marshall was annoyed by such sis
terly devotion on Betsy's part. He
called for her one evening at the hos
pital and drove her home, scolding
her. You ought to give the boy a
chance to sleep now and then, Betsy.
After all, sleep is better for him than
so much prattle. When am I really
going to see you?"
That had been a wonderful evening.
They had parked in his car in front
of her home for long while and
Marshall held her close to his heart.
He was never prodigal with his kisses.
especially in the car; and with his
arms around her and his breath soft
and warm on her cheeks she had let
herself drift into sweet lethargy that
had nothing to do with crack-ups and
hospital bills and fears.
|, 1t was on cold rainy afternoon that
Betsy came back from the hospital
and found the letters addressed to her
in the mail box. There were invita-
tons to debutante teas. to dinners, to
dances, to luncheons. There was one
letter postmarked Boston, November
30. John Storm must have written
it the very afternoon that Terry
cracked up. In all the confusion and
worry Of that week she hadn't even
glanced at the box. She opened the
letter now with eager fingers.

there was a, beautiful paragraph:

bule reading that last paragraph over
