Just Thought You Would Like To Know

EDIIOhS . NOIE: lt WarmeQ your reporters heart to read the piece in Dan Parker's column of Saturday this week, in which the esteemed and Well-liked sports writer took very successful verbal poke at another self-instituted crit ic, Ned Irish.
 l quote Mir. Parker's piece, Ned Irish, who used to be a sports writer himself once and therefore should know better, took the basketball writers to task at a luncheon he gave for them the other day. Ned told his guests he did not think that the public was interested in whe- ther the class of college players has deteriorated since the war started as some of the boys had been so brazen as to suggest.
 Promoter Irish, who has had phenomenal success and a fine press as a result of a policy of letting sports writers do the writing while he did the promoting, should hew strictly to that line. The Boneyard is full of promoters who tried to turn censor after they had become afIluent through the aid of the press"
 EDITORS NOTE: This article is just the right kind of medicine for these self instituted critics. who think 1t Is their business to run the press. through whom they have gained this position of influence and respect Hats of to Dan Parker for pointing the way, a line which should be hewed to more often.
 It was interesting to note that the attendance records at the six major bowl games on New Years Day were 28 thousand below average estimates set by the nations sports writers.
