College Emotional Center.

FOOT BALL is the emotional CEN
ter Of college life, rallying point
for student and alumnus. . Herein
Is the greatest crime against foot ball
that an emotional phenomenon of
the greatest educational significance
has been left in the hands of out
siders, that college presidents and
trustees have left it go its own way
that faculties have been excluded
from intelligent participation on con-
troll and that foot ball has been COM
PEELED to manage itself and grow
without the educational leadership to
which 1t is entitled.
The excesses, irregularities and
evils which have resulted must il
my judgment be laid directly at the
doors of college presidents, trustees
and faculties who have missed the
significance Of foot ball and left its
destiny to others who were in no
position to handle it.
The evils of foot ball will rot be
tions, directors and coaches are left
to do the job. They cannot do it.
Deceit Is Great Evil.
HE second great evil in college
foot ball is deceit. All other
problems are small compared with
this one of academic dishonesty in
high places. OF those universities
and colleges now subsdizng players,
only negligible proportion, if any,
will admit it openly, frankly, honestly.
I'm some cases, college or university
presidents have insisted they be kept

Of what it revealed, but because of
what it failed to reveal
The third great evil in foot ball
y its commercialization This is again
the fault of the colleges. They have
insisted that foot ball be self-sup-
porting or even that it support other

based upon its commercial attractive

n n ILWAUKEE. July 5.-Cham-
NV pionship performances at the

4 fiftieth track and field meet
demonstrated today the probability of
successful attack by new array of
stars on world and national records.
Jack Weierhauser Of Stanford sped
around the Marquette Stadium cinders
to give proof that even the great

hauser galloped the 200 meters, nego-
tiating curve in the bargain, in 20 9
seconds, just slx-tenths Of second
over the world record time which
Owens set on straightaway.
Allan Tolmich of Wayne Univer-
sity, Detroit, gave the meet, which
closed Saturday, It's biggest upset by
beating Georgia's world champion,
Forrest Towns, in the high hurdles,
and showed it was no accident by
setting a new 2O0-meter low hurdles
meet record of 233 seconds.
500 Meter Mark Seen Due.
A NEW 800-meter world mark may
be in the offing if John Woodruff

champion. continues his present form.
The long-striding Negro was clocked
in l minute so seconds and was so
fresh at the finish he might have
clipped off a fraction of a second if
he had been pressed.

Great Matches Missing.

THIS years Wimbledon play was in

matches.
The semifinal mems singles were
fine, however. frankie Parker put
up a great match in losing to Bulge.
Don't discount him.
feel Frank earned the second
singles Davis Cup berth on mis- play
in this match, plus his five-set victory
over Henkel.
He was much more impressive than
Bitsy Grant, who was easily beaten by
Bunny Austin.
But, with the usual faculty for error
in the American board of strat tegy,
Grant, not Parker, PROBABLY will get
the berth. Parker, l feel, might win
the vital match.

MISS MARBLES defeat by JadVlga

failed to press her advantage when she
had 20. 4-2. 5-3 in the first set.
Although many, including myself,
had thought Crawford through As q
singles player and rather tired OF 1t
all, he was like the Crawford Of Ave
years ago.
Only Won Cramm's stamina won.
say Grant was unimpressive
against Austin. He was, being un-
steady.
But a bad decision cost Bitsy the
second set. which should have been
sail. The result might have been
different, as Austin tired and was
saved by his two-set lead.
Budge's wonderful display OF ALL
court game was too much for Won
Cramm, who was uncertain and not
at his best Budges forehand was
steadier. his voleylng superb and he
outserved Won Cramm.
Helen Jacobs Erratic.
DoN had greater depth through
out and I feel now he can defeat
| Won Cramm in their Davis Cuo
| meeting. The German lacked his
usual tactical judgment and seemed
bewildered. even though Don's at
tack was short on variety.
Still they were easily the class
players.
Briefly, Parker was fine; Austlr
impressive, Miss Marble outstand-
ing as the stroke maker among the
women. Both Mrs. Sperling and Miss
Jacobs were disappointing.
Miss Jacobs was erratic.
I hear Dorothy Round may play
Wightman Cup after all. Won Crsmn
