NICHOLS STARTS
STRONG TALK ON
TSMANSHIP
Players Must Be Liars,
Cheats and Compromise
Experts to Keep Rating

New York. Dec. 29.-(UP)-The
cry Of professionalism and over
emphasis in college football was in
full swing today as educators and
other campus leaders approached
the question, "are our intercollegiate
athletics to remain amateur"
Three college presidents, Ralph c.
Hutchinson Of Washington and JEFF
ferson, James L. McConaughy of
Wesleyan university and Thurston
j. Davies of Colorado colleges, will
lead the discussion at the annual
Collegiate Athletic association.
The opening salvos fired yester-
day at meetings of the College Ply
steal Education association and the
National Sportsmanship Brother

football already has deserted the
Simon-pure ranks
Plainly Spoken
DR.. j. H. Nichols, Oberlin univer-
sity. charged that some of the big
universities had gone SO far along
The professional road that the play
ers and others connected with the
sport had to be liars, cheats and
compromise experts to retain their
amateur standing. This remark was
challenged by Fielding H. Yost of
Michigan, among others, and DR..
Nichols modified the tetnor of his
remark by saying that he did not
mean all large universities.
Dr.. Nichols urged the abolition of
conferences. terming them merely
setups to determine championships.
Conferences tend. he said, to in
crease the pressure on coaches by
magnifying the Importance of vic
tory.
Betting on college games as an
other evil which may strike at the
heart of football was described by
Robert c. Clothjer, president of
Rutgers university, who spoke be-
fore the craftsmanship Brother
hood.
| Hot Stuff
Among the radical suggestions
made by the educators were the
elimination of gate receipts; confin-
| ing rivalries to colleges of similar
size and standards; an athletic pro-
gram to be carried on by student
activity fees and college approprja-
tons; placing Of coaches on full
time basis with faculty rank; opera
ton of athletics on the same basis
employed for all other college ac-
tivities.
Two of the most active schools
shopping for new football coaches
are Texas and Syracuse. Benny
Friedman, former all-American
quarterback at Michigan and pres
ent G. G. N. Y. coach, is among
the latest candidates for the Texas
job. Fred Thomson, whose U. of
Arkansas team won the Southwest
Conference title, reported is
headed for Syracuse. Dan LESSEE,
coach at Trinity college, Hartford.

contender to become athletic direc-
tor at Syracuse.

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Dec. 29.-
<UP)-A husky girl Of IA with
name famous In tennis for more
than Q quarter century today quiet
" aspired to follow in the foot
steps Of q distinguished mother.
Heroine Of the piece Is brunette
Dorothy Wightman, youngest
daughter Of perhaps the greatest
woman tennis personality in the
world-Mrs. George w. Wightman.
Competitor In the current girls
national indoor championship play,
Dorothy already has three years of
tournament experience to her credit
despite her tender years. No one
picks her to win the indoor title
this year. But the young lady's
improvement has been so great and
consistent that she's headed for
likely national prominence at the
rate she's going.
Not So Bad
In her first crack at the indoor
championship last winter, Dorothy
was eliminated by currently third
seeded Elena Ciccone Of Newton,
90, Gel. Elena eventually advanced
"a the semi-finals. Dorothy, how
yer, is very much in the fight this
year. In the opening round yester-
day, she easily disposed Of another
Ciccone-Lydia-6-0, 60.
Chances are she'll at least reach
the quarter finals. In that event,
Dorothy's likely opponent will be
the more experienced Polly Morrill,,
who is seeded fourth.
Mother Famous
Though her famous mother spon-
sors the tourney, Dorothy didn't
need maternal urging to enter the
title play. The girl plays tennis
because she likes 1t and thinks 1t
great fun. For that reason, she gets
encouragement and sound technical
advice from one who knows-a
mother who holds the distinction of
having won 81 national titles.
When 1t comes to tennis, Dorothy
is the most enthusiastic and most
promising Of the five Wightman
children. Virginia, 20, and Hazel,
20, play the game on the side. When
he was at Harvard, Brother George,
"A, vas better known as a swimmer.
And the baby Of the family, Will
liam, Is enthusiastic, but still very
young. He's only II.
Probably the greatest thrill
mother Mother Wightman derived
from Daughter Dorothys tourna-
ment play was at Golden Gate Park
in San Francisco last summer. On
that occasion Dorothy reached the
finals in both competition for girls
unier Is and for girls under Is.
But that isn't half the story.
The rare human interest element
was that Dorothy was performing
on the very same court where Mrs.
wightman, as Hazel HotchkisS,
competed in her first tournament
back in 1902.
Dorothy doesn't hit a ball very
hard. But she plays versatile and
heady game. She has enthusiasm
and confidence. And she has a
rich tennis heritage.
