SubsidizatiOn

With all this discussion OF sub

involved probes by highly paid in
vestigators. YOU should be suffi-
ciently confused by now TO shove
the entire issue into your too COM
plicated TO understand" item list.
along with business recovery and
the nations budget
There is. however, q way to curtail
the evils of subsidi2ation-and there
are evils in the plan despite the fact
1t is probably a definite asset TO
the nation as a whole.
Subsidization in college football
wae first started among the smaller
colleges of the nation to build out
standing football teams, create an
interest in their schools and make
a reputation for the coach.
Smaller colleges started knocking
off the big fellows under the sub
sidization plan, so the larger col
leges were forced into the program
10 protect their records.
Gradually il became more and
more necessary for a coach 10 turn
out winning football teams to re-
tain his Job Gradually the subsi-
dization program reached point
that il became as important as
teaching the. squads TO block and
tackle.
Up TO a certain point subsidiZation
is a fine movement because il en-
ables youngsters who might not
otherwise receive an education TO
attend institutions OF higher learn
ing. Subsidization has certainly
made the youth OF the United
States college conscious.
But there is point where SUBJ
sidization should be halted. You've
heard the stories of coaches lining
up ice wagon and coal mine work.
ers 10 play ON their football teams.
Those stories are somewhat far
fetched. but there is group OF men
brought into colleges TO play foot
ball who should not be included
in the sabsidization program.
That group is not interested, even
to a minor degree, in obtaining an
education. They go TO college solely
TO play football and earn living.
They might as we'll go on making
living outside college and give those
youngsters who can capitalize on
their football playing q chance TO
receive an education.

BY HENRY McLEMORE

LOS ANGELES, Jan. y. (UP)-
This is story that l do not want
10 write, but somehow my old
newspaper training is stronger than
my feelings and I must write 1t.
1t is a story of Lawson Little
and his victory of yesterday in the
Los Angeles open golf champion
ship, one of the five biggest tour4
naments of the year.
Since the day he turned profess
sional, around four years ago, Law
son Little has been the most un-
popular player, among his tourna-
ment companions, of any golfer in
the lot. The consolation he received
after bad rounds, (and they were
many was hollow; almost as hol-
low as the congratulations he was
given after a good round.
The resentment of his fellow pros
was as understandable as it was
objectionable. Lawson turned pro-
fessional after a tremendous anna
teur record. In publicity and praise
he had outdone by far the men
who played the game for a living.
Twice winner of the British and
American amateur titles, he enter
ed the professional ranks with a
name more celebrated than any Of
the pros.
They looked upon him as some
thing they must stamp out. He was
menace, or at least one who
might be a menace, and they turn
ed the guns of their personalities
and skill upon him. They were
battling for bread and butter and
they didn't want another threat
thrown into their ranks.
So they put the chill on him.
Unfortunately, Lawson helped
them wrap him up in ice.
A soldiers son, the son Of a COL
onel in the U. S. Imy, he was as
aloof and formal as dress parade
at West Point. The pros scarcely
gave him a nod, and he scarcely

State Insurance Commissioner
Anthony Caminetti jr today char
acterized as "a disgrace the pay
ment of more than half a million
dollars for attorneys fees in liquida-
ton of the old Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company
In a letter TO Attorney General
Earl Warren, Caminetti estimated
the fees at 1851 ,82l and said II
comparable fees for attorneys SER
vices in the case during 1889 were
authorized, he would fight their
approval in the courts.
Judge Caminetti took particular
note of the payment OF Sl79,3O4.O4
during a three-year period to one
Los Angeles law firm. which, he
charged, "discloses an utter disre-
gard for the funds OF the then
insolvent company"
He asked that Attorney General
Warren terminate the services OF
aall attorneys employed by your
office" in litigation OF the COM
pany's affairs, with the exception
of one attorney or one firm OF
attorneys TO serve in the future.

Brawley some trouble but the Wild

Calipatria, obviously the tailend
club of the league, will have about
as much chance OF defeating Ell
Centre as Poland had of licking
Germany. The Spartans are inn
proving rapidly and may be able
to give Calexico run for the title.
Best game of the weekend Will
probably be played in a preliminary
to the Imperial -Brawley game when
Imperial and BraWley C teams
clash. Brawley's Gees are the de-
Tending champions and Imperial
apparently has the strongest chal-

Boiled down. subsidization could
be restricted TO that class OF atm

/. Take the pressure off coaches

2. Give coaches long term con-
tracts and sufficient time 10 groom

Under those conditions coaches
would not be forced 10 import the
