Of the "play-for-pay" group when
schedules are being considered.
In his own words: at is mani
testify unfair competition for a
school which may have boys actual
ly working their way through school
in legitimate way asked to meet
boys who are subsisting on a regu-
lar salary as is the case in some
sections"
On the heels Of this meeting came
the announcement from Ann Arbor
that 50 University Of Michigan ath-
letes, representing every varsity
sport, strongly advocated q play for
pay policy in the Big Ten. The ath-
letes, in letter to the campus news
paper, claimed there Is a great deal
Of ignorance "of the conditions un-
der which members Of the univer-
sity teams are forced to live; the
difficulties they face in financing
their education, and the sacrifices
they make for their college,"
This letter fully Endorsed a recent
editorial appearing in the college
paper which called for. three meals
a day for football players, tuition
scholarships for all athletes, and ac-
ton through the Big Ten athletic Or
ganization to provide for standard
rules of subsidization for all schools
of the conference.
Contrary as they may seem, the
opinions of both students and Off
Gals have something in common.
The students want open, above
board subsidization. The officials
want none of it. But they both
want an end to the present under
handed system. 1t is unlikely that
much regard will be paid to the
undergraduate requests. Most col
lege boys are apt to overshoot the
mark in attempting to win their
point.
Never has there been a more log
ical time for schools throughout the
nation to solve once and for all the
question Of paid players. Not even
the most optimistic can find any
thing to be proud Of under the pres
ent system. 1t teaches youthful ath-
letes that the only crime Is in being
caught and that clever cheating
pays good dividends.
Regardless of the outcome, any
change will be an advantage over
the present hip-pocket system Of
proselytizing and subsidization.

A IL Is not quiet on the Western
: conference football front.
This was brought to light when
Big Ten athletic Representatives met
recently to discuss the matter Of
recruiting and substituting football
players.
The officials evidently realized
that they have dealt in generalities
all too long, and have decided to
take direct action. And back Of this
direct action Is the desire to start
q nationwide movement which will
sharply divide intercollegiate athlet-
les into two classes-one class OPP
Grating ON the "play-for-pay" basis,
and the other simon-pure as regards
the substituting Of athletes.
Western Conference Commissioner
John L. Griffith is not unaware that
various Big Ten schools may have
sinned in the matter of paid ath-
letes. But he proposes that tie

felt they should control the commit
tee due to the large number of col
lege men on the teams. In addi-
ton, many of the other athletes out
of school for only short time, were
coached and trained by college men,
tors. To some degree this friction
has been removed through increas-
ing college representation on the
committee.
It is to be regretted that the COM
mittee takes this stand. As 4 busi-
ness proposition it leaves little to be
desired as q means to raise money
with which to meet Olympic ex-
penses. No one who could afford
from $1.50 to $500 for q football
ticket would object to paying one
cent extra for such worthy cause.
This fund could be handled At NO
additional cost by the colleges, and
would eliminate the expenses asso-
ciated with the printing, distribution
and selling Of stamps.
On the basis of one cent per ticket
any football game drawing $4,000
spectators-not an unusually large
crowd-would contribute $500 to the
fund. Many games draw almost
twice as many. So it would be
simple matter to collect the neces-
sary 100000 in four years. Only
800 games with an attendance of
$4,000 each would guarantee that
amount.
Until the committee finds an &C
ceptable plan, Olympic teams will
be forced to rely upon voluntary con-
tributions from the public. At best
this method is inefficient and UNI
wieldly and leaves much to be de-
sired.

Olympic Funds

will stage stamp day" to raise

Several countries grant govern
ment subsidies to Olympic teams.
This country does not. The U. S.
team is dependent entirely upon the
proceeds Of 'tag day." stamp

meaning but inefficient method of
raising money.
Just as regularly as the games
themselves, the committee, under
the direction of President Avery
Brundage, is forced to report, near
the end of the fund campaign. that
sufficient funds have not been forth
coming and that it may be neces-
sary to curtail the number of ath-
letes to cut expenses. It isn't the
best publicity for Uncle Sam when
word reaches other countries that
the richest nation in the world can
sot afford the comparatively small
expense incurred by its athletes.
Not long ago Arthur Eilers. execu-
tive secretary Of the Missouri VAL
ley conference, wanted to add one
penny tax to the price Of each big
college football ticket annually.
Though this would be put into prac-
tice in only the larger schools, the
proceeds would be such that the
committee could forget all about
their money worries. There would
be sufficient revenue to meet any
and all expenses Of the team.

There were other instances OF

studied all the available cases, but

At the Harvard Fatigue Labora-
tory DR.. Arlie Book and staff
spent five years studying the effects
of high temperatures on workmen
and finally, out of the welter OF
case histories and scientific data,
the answer emerged.
And, after all the effort. the most
startling part OF that answer was
its simplicity. Men working under
high temperatures perspired freely.
Persplration is largely water con-

Salt has always been important
in our diet as a tlavorlng for food,
but it is only recently that doctors
have come to recognize it as an
absolute necessity. The good rea-
son for that was that they took salt
for granted. Most living things
contain salt and it is almost lmpos-

getting some. However, that

now doctors recommend that those
who normally use little salt step up

weather.
