Must Assist Athletes,
San Jose Head Says;
Scores Coast Plan
New Policy Of Pacific
Loop Gets Backing Of
California U. Leader
BY the Associated Press,

BERKELEY, Calf, Jan. 30
While President T. w. MacQuarrie
of San Jose State College criticized
the Pacific Coast Conferences new
football reform program as a de
lusion," DR.. Robert Gordon Sproul,
president of University of California,
pledged his support to the cleanup
yesterday.
MacQuarrie, writing in his own
column in the Sparton Daily, student
newspaper at San Jose State, said
that ANY one who has the INTEL
ligence of the average citizen can
see for himself that no man can
work his way through college, do
acceptable college work and play
football at the same time"
San Jose Helps Athletes.
San Jose State, an independent,
announced frankly in 1885 that it
was giving it's athletes board and
room, with the proviso that they use
for studying the time they ordinarily
would have to devote to employment
to earn their livelihood.
San Jose was undefeated last foot
ball season.
DR.. Sproul, addressing 5000 uni
versity students, pledged his support
of the conferences new football

ton, DR.. Sproul declared that "' I"
Many of the colleges in the confer
ence have abused the normal, decent
code of athletic competition There
has been gross dishonesty and
hypocrisy in the athletic program" !"
Means to Back Gear"
He closed his extemporaneous ad-
dress by adding significantly:
This commissionership, as now
held by Mr.. Atherton, will not be
abandoned if I can help it,"
Atherton told the students the
conference schools, which he investi-
gated over a two-year period, were
no worse than elsewhere, but assert
ed 1T should be made plain that no
one institution in the Pacific Coast
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
was found to be without sin"

"The Babe was that way. I had to
win an argument from him before
we could get to work. He was hav-
ing trouble with his weight and he
wanted to get ready for the next
season. He thought the way to do
that was to work like a dog in the
gymnasium.
"If I let you have your way I
told him, you wouldn't even be in
shape to 60 South in the spring. All
the work you have to do will be light
work to keep your muscles supple.
Well take care of the rest by diet.
II wish you could have heard him.
The word diet frightened him, as
it frightens most people. He thought
I was going to give him nothing but
grapefruit and dry toast. But I
talked him into starting with me,
anyway-and once we started he was
surprised.
"I simply put him on well-bal-
anced diet. I gave him as much to
eat as he wanted. Very often he
couldn't eat all put on the table
for him. I gave him meat twice a
day. He had fish. shellfish consom-
mes and, of course, plenty of string
beans, spinach, salads and fruit.
Faithful adherence to the diet,
plus the light exercise I outlined
for him, put him in better shape
than he had been for years.

mitted Miller. You'd appreciate
how I feel if it had been on your

them they had won. I'm guy who

Merrick's Chances Fade
As Ii Loses Trio in
Quorter-FinoIs

With three more representatives
on the sidelines after bowling in the
quarter-f finals, Merrick Boys Clubs
hopes of winning the Golden Gloves
senior ring championship has all
but evaporated in thin air. The
fight now lies among Pete's A. c..
St. Mary's of Alexandria and No. 5

Three straight bouts were lost by
Merrick last night at Turner s

lightweight class. Ray Bernard, Al

mated N the heavy shelling.
Pete's Advances Two Boxers.
Pete's, meanwhile, advanced two
men and st. Mary's and No. 5 one
each. Nick Mancini, popular ar1c
rugged welterweight, led Pete's
forces, banging out well-deserved
decision over Frank McCaleb of st
Marys. The Southwest standard
bearer now mingles with Billy
Kekeris in what amounts to cham
pionship fight.
Most impressive youngsters on the
card was Bernie Cady, tall, vel
proportioned brother of the St
Johns prep court star, who south.
paved his way to a decision over
Benny Frady of Pete's. Twice he
had Frady on the carpet and 1t Is
tribute to the latter's courage that
he finished the fight. Cady won by
comfortable margin.
Charles Schneider. whose dull
back-pedaling style considerably an
noyed the fans, scored handily over
Bill Coakley of Pete's, in the feath-
erweight class. Twice the Colmal
Manor youngster dropped Coakley
with short, sharp rights to the heae
as the latter walked, nay ran, int
trap. Schneider's style was en-.
tirely too puzzling for William.

Eppley, I submitted to him the

Miller cautions that he did not
insist on Craft, at whom he takes
a pot shot with:
"If you saw last years Maryland

you'd have to rate me as boxing in

the idea that I insisted on Craft"
The records" of the c. U.-Mary-

prove that "for five years, judges OF

Personally" he added, Il don't
