surely play better basket ball than
upon our Northern tour last year"
Reinhart declared here today after
sending his Colonials through stren-

For one thing we'll be in better
physical condition and will have the
right mental slant" continued Rein

we lost to St. Johns and Long Island.
and thus we not only couldn't get the

Defense Is Big Difference.

defense Is Dig DLHcECuCcs
THE greatest difference between
= professional and college play is in
the defense. The players are larger,
stronger and smarter in professional
foot ball and there are no weak spots
in a line. No matter how effective an
ofense is, it will have difficulty gain
ing through seven able-bodied line
men, who average 220 pounds from
end to end. A college line averaging
100 pounds is considered tremendous.
There was a time when I could
work up a pretty fair country resent
ment against the criticism of profess
sional players spirit. This is one OF
the chief plants of hide-bound de-
tractors, such as a newspaper friend
of mine.
Perhaps no one in the country is
80 bitter against professional foot ball,
attacks 1t so knowingly and yet knows
little about it. He has seen only one
professional game in his life. His
TRADES only incite tolerance now
One visit to a professional locker
room the day of game Is all any
one needs to be convinced pay-check
foot ball is a myth. When big. strong
men cry over a missed tackle or poor
block you know they've got something
on the mind besides the weekly en-
velope.
Ernie Smith, the Green Bay tackle
and place-kicked star, walked of
Wrigley field last year before 10000
people with bitter tears streaming
down his face. He had just missed
short field goal that would have given
the Packers their first victory in five
starts against the Cardinals. Smith
didn't want his pay check. He wanted
that victory; and he wanted 1t more
than any college boy I've ever seen.
Professionals like the game for itself
or they would not continue to play
after college. In fact, they wouldn't
even play in college If they didn't have
o genuine affection for the game.
College Ends Too Soon.
How many times have you heard
- selIior, just ending his three
years of varsity eligibility, say, Il
wish had another year" He is just
beginning TO know the game and
reaching the point where he can really
play foot ball to the fullest extent of
his ability.
There is nothing reprehensible about |
playing professional foot ball. Many |
of the leading educators and coaches,
who once opposed it, are in agree
ment with this now. After he has |
spent three years studying and prac- |
ticing for nothing but sweater and |
nine big rahs on Saturday, the boy
Is entitled to cash in on his knowl- !
edge and prowess.
College base ball players enter the |
big leagues and college golfers turn |
pro. have even heard of college |
piccolo players joining professional
dance bands without jeopardizing |
their social standing. Why should
there be anything abhorrent about
. foot ball player doing the same?
There should be no friction between
college and professional foot ball. |
The pro game does not menace the |
college game and never will replace
it. even though it always will be
superior to 1t.
