ments and the draft together will
take away something like 900 stu
dents from Columbia. The college
or university toll all over the coun-
try will be heavy. i haven't any
idea how many ON the Columbia
list are football players. There will
be some, of course. But the ma
jority called out will be seniors or
post-graduates. There has been a
heavy demand for engineers and
chemists all over the country. 1t
would be my guess that football will
have a larger number of younger
players than we have normally seen
upon the field"

For Football

After all college football was
started and for many years carried
ON rs the greatest Of all competitive
sports.
In the last 10 or 20 years the
pressure put upon coaches to bring
along winning teams has done the
game no good in any way. It has
developed not only proselyting, but
direct pay to an unbelievable ex-
tent.
The bidding for winning coaches
has gone beyond all sound reasoning.
There has been far too much So

have never believed that any
college football star should receive
in any way any more financial as
sistance than any good average stu
dent should get, whose main idea
was an education.
There have been too many 'spaid
Players all over the country. And
many Of these have been no better
than hundreds Of others who loved
the game and could play good foot
ball-and often never had a chance.
The fellows "who were taken care
Of" who had cost money had to have
the first call.
With the draft cutting in, with the
element of chance now involved,
this seems to be the right spot for
general cleaning up, where the
alumni pressure and the coaching
pressure for winning team can be
removed.

Despite the efforts of opponents,

purposes, there is an equal chance
a measure to that end may be ap-
proved by Congress and become eff
fective in time for the Territorial
election next year Lex Green,
Chairman for the House Committee
on Territories, this week introduced
a bill which would increase the Ter
ritorial Senate from eight to 16
members, four from each Legislative
division, and the House from its
present 16 to "a members, elected
on basis of population.
While it isn't in accord as to
members with Delegate Dimond's
bill which would increase both
houses on an equal basis, it is in
dieative of the sentiment in the
House at least that something
should be done toward adjusting
Alaska's legislative needs to give
more equitable representation. Out
