Colleges Finally Get Around TO
Admitting They Have an
Interest in Gate
By HARRY

PHILIP q. BADGER, head of the National Collegiate Ah-
letic Association, says the War Department mousetrapped the
dents.
The MEGA, at its annual meeting in December, adopted a
resolution expressing the belief that participation In lntercol-
leRiate athletics possessed training value for soldier students. II
pledged support Of member institutions TO maintain as full and
as effective competitive programs as possible.
A committee discussed the situation with officials OF the war
and Navy Departments and the Manpower Commission.
1--WE were given to understand" asserts President Badger
who was a member of the committee, that thorough considera-
ton would be given the proposals"
THUS 1T WAS that the colleges planned high pressure ma
Tor athletics as usual. with soldier students filling in the ranks
AT no time during this emergency has the association sought
to maintain intercollegiate athletics merely as an end in them
selves" explains Professor Badger of New York University. The
association has felt that intercollegiate athletics should be main
tanned only in the event that they rendered a real service in the
preparation and training of men for duty with the armed forces
consequently, we are necessarily disappointed over the de-
cision announced by the Army"
The badgered Professor Badger and the NCAA then put a
little squeeze on the military by asserting that If the Army de-
sires colleges to maintain extensive intramural competitive sports
programs for soldier students, financial difficulties may be eN-
perienced because the financing Of such programs has largely
depended upon receipts from intercollegiate athletics.
PRESIDENT BADGER adds that he believes most colleges
will strive to carry on intercollegiate athletics as long as man
power for teams and finances permit, but closes by saying that the
outlook is far from promising.
When war came. the colleges were, OF course, interested IN
expansive intercollegiate athletic programs only because they
built strong and agile young men for the services.
1t took a war, however, to make the colleges admit that they
were also interested in gate receipts.
A QUESTION asked cadets at the North Carolina Navy Pre-
Flight School is:
Who, in your opinion, has contributed most 10 sports IN n
last decade?"
Answers vary, but it's surprising how many list Adolf Hitler.
1.-THE American youth was going soft" wrote Cadet Bob Stnt
of Glen Ellyn, Ill. Hitler made us health conscious, and although
we are out to defeat him, we're nominating him responsible Tor
waking us up to the Importance Of physical fitness"
Herr Hitler awakened the world to a lot of things.

THURSDAY FEBRUARY l8, le43 PAGE IA
He Was a Champion
BY BERNARD

The younger athletic generation of Mount Clemens bowed
its collective head today in posthumous tribute to one Of its
late members, 1st Lieut.. Ralph Bennett, Jr, who went to his
death on the battlefields of the Philippine Islands fighting for
a cause we Americans hold so dearly.
Beloved by all students when he attended Mount Clemens
High School and later admired and held in high respect by his
companions at Michigan State College, Lieut.. Bennett was a
typical American boy - the type any father would like his son
to be.
We knew Ralph we'll in his football days at Mount Glenn
ems High and followed his fortunes with the Spartans Of Michi-
gan State. Although handicapped by a knee injury at college,
he distinguished himself on several occasions as he had done
as a grid pupil of Coach Ernest Buckholz at Mount Celmens
High.
Uncomplaining as most great athletes are, Ralph often
drew the praise of Buckholz as an 'untiring and faithful work
err" He always put everything he had into the game, and we
know it was the same in the Philippines. Ralph was of that
mould from which greatness is produced.
We and all others who knew Ralph sympathize deeply
with his bereaved parents, whose solace must come from un-
Outstanding that their son offered the greatest sacrifice man
can make.
He laid down his life for his felowman. He met the stiffest
test the individual can face and finished something better than
a great athlete: He was a champion.

Limited Play
Seems Certain
for Next Fall
Commissioner
Encouraged After
ToIk with McNutt

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 Jpn
Professional football, like MAJ
jor league baseball, intends to
carry on-but it won't be easy.
Elmer Layden, commissioner
OF the National Football League,
said today he believes the cir
cult can continue with limita-
tons"
Layden, former Notre Dame
football coach and a member Of
the famous Irish Four-Horsemen
oackfield in the mid-1920's, con-
ferred with Manpower Commits
Sioner Paul v. McNutt and the
transportation Director Joseph
B. Eastman yesterday.
He said he had found def
mite encouragement" for the
league although McNutt was
non-committal as to whether the
players were essential and East
man was equally non-committal
on the transportation question.
ut may be like the early days
of professional football" Lay
den said. I'm those times theA
men played on weekends after
working all week in factories.
There's nothing now to prevent
them from doing the same
thing"
MAY REVAMP SCHEDULES
Schedules may have to be re-
arranged to save mileage, pre-
eason training sessions. abolish
ed and a great deal of the usual
bally-hoo done away with, Lay
den conceded.
But l think we have a def
mite place in the American
scene" he said. Football OF
course, wants to help win the
war more than anything else.
but we think that so long as
spectator sports exist we have a
legitimate place"
Layden said he believed q
definite program" would come
out of the league owners meet
ing in Chicago in April.
Major league baseball owners
already have served notice that
they intend to 60 through with
the 1913 season, although they
admit the calibre of play I'M
questionably will be lower. Hun
dreds of the diamonds figures

Apparently imbued with the
idea that YOU can't pay bills with

TO settle for cash.
While the latern- jawed sidellne
Strategist may be one of the least
publicized of all sports figures who
have strobe through the unfolding
drama of the annual fall classic,
he happens TO be the best paid
In base b career that
stretches through more than three
decades. Fletcher has cut into a
succession Of World Series purses
for over S65,000 He has gained
$50 ,S7779 for actually participant
ing in the classic and earned APP
proximately Sc. 500 for his associa-
ton with clubs that finished
second, third and fourth.
