Gridder-RandoIph Urges
Pay for Athletes.
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.
Representative Jennings Randolph's
frank plea for financial assistance to
college athletes on the ground that
eight out of every ten make good in
the business world still was ringing in
the ears of some $50 guests who at
tended Catholic University's fifth an
nual dinner for Cardinal athletes at
the Shoreham last night
Randolph, who once coached Davis
Elkins to 20 victory over Navy and
which marked, added the Congress
man the last time we ever got to play
the Navy" took an out-and-out stand
for subsidization of athletes, but
couldn't get Arthur J. Dutch) Berg
man, football coach and C. US direc-
tor of athletics, to admit that Cardinal
athletes were subsidized
There's no apology needed for that
sort of thing" declared the man who
has been leader in the District suf-
frage fight. Il don't know, but Dutch,
I suspect you've done it here at Cath
olic University" In the presence of
the good fathers seated beside him
and before the eyes of past and present
c. U. athletes. Dutch shook his head
negatively and vigorously
Only Str0rg PiOwboys Used.
Randolph's admission that Davis
Elkins countenanced solicitation of
athletes brought fervent Amen"
from Edgar (Rip) Miller, Navy's
former head coach and now assistant
grid mentor at Annapolis. Describing
the huskies who represented DE that
day it beat the Middies. Miller ex-
planned "how the West Virginia school
had gotten such athletes.
''Mr. Randolph would drive out into
the farming section of his State" ex-
planned Miller, "see a boy plowing a
field and stop and ask him the way
to the nearest town. If the boy point
ed with his finger, Mr. Randolph
thanked him and drove on. If, how
ever, the boy lifted his plow to point
with, Mr.. Randolph got out of his
car and took his name and address"
Getting back to the more serious
trend of the discussion, Miller Sec
onded the Representatives declara-
ton that sports led to the develop
ment of all-around citizens who car
ried their sports creed into later life.
Any kind of eXtra-curricula work at
college is to be esteemed, however,
added Miller. adding that business
executives look for the men who took
part in the most college activities.
AS a direct example of the scholar
athlete, Miller pointed to Navy's own
Frank Lynch. Lynch, tackle on the
eleven and star in several other sports,
also is commander of the Annapolis
regiment-the highest honor possible
at the Academy.

G. w. U. Rifiemen Honored.
Two members of the George WASH
ington rifle team had received national
recognition today with the announce
ment that Dana Wallace and Bill
Wetzel had been named to the all
America college team for 1898.
It was the second straight year that
Wallace had earned that honor, but
Wetzel outscored him this year. In
deed it was The latter's fine score of
28l which had much to do with G.
W. taking the national championship
away from Navy in this years shoot.
