Only a Fe,U Crooks

AS some philosopher once said
"Rubes can think up more crooked
things than crooks can invent"
In my opinion the great bulk of
sport is clean. But among so many
involved, there are sure to be few
who are either crooked or weak.
And it takes only a few of these to
upset the works. This is why the
game today, college and pro, needs
eternal vigilance and harsher PEN
alties.
The average person you meet will
tell you that college football play
ers should be paid, considering the
big money college athletic associ-
atoms take in. This may be o. X.
but don't call them amateurs. For
they are not. They are only fake
professionals.
I recall some years ago running
across Dizzy Dean when Ole Dig
looked worried.
''Ive just been called before
Judge Landis," he said.
81 haven't been doin' anything.
But I'm still skeered."
That's the type of rulership sport
needs today-an iron hand plus ev-
cry known way Of finding out what is
going on. To take anything for
granted is the surest way Of wad-
ing into heavy trouble.

Too Much Temptation

The Judge suspended Buck Weav-
er for life because Weaver, who
hadn't taken dime, had failed to
report the conspiracy. I've had more
than few ball players ask me not
to print the fact that l met them at
some race track. They were afraid.

Any ball player caught playing
around with a bookmaker or any
type Of gambler would have been
up before the judge for rugged pun
ishment in rush.
T Sport financially. has gotten too
big. Too much money is involved.
Discipline has gone haywire. There
has been too much temptation for
the weak to resist. knowing the gold
en- doubloons that are rolling
around.
Too many, high in sport, have
been asleep too long. The receipts
have been too good. The dream has
been too pleasant. They have re-
fused to heed 1.-The rumble of dis
tant drum"
The great majority of athletes are
honest. Yet too many are undis-
cipIined and too many out of condi-
ton. We have no sympathy for
grown athletes who say they have
been tricked or fooled by gam
blers.
Any athlete, who after the first
suggestion of a crooked proposition
doesn't 60 directly to his coach, has
no place in any game. 1t may come
to the point that any athlete under
any form of suspicion may have to
be watched Certainly any jockey,

Rural WOmen's
Short Course Set
For June 16 q

The annual rural women's Snort
course, which has been attended b.
more than 10000 women in the last
2E years, is to be the week Of
June 16 to 81, Venia M. Kellar,
assistant director of the Extension
Service at the University Of Mary
land announced here today.
She explained that the course
is designed to offer educational,
inspirational and recreational OPP
portunities to the rural women Of
Maryland and said, eve are plan
ming program which will be as
good as any we have had during
the past years"
More than 1000 women are ex-
pected TO attend the four-day school
which is to be the 21st held since
1928. The first years attendance
was 223, and in the intervening
years, the attendance has increased
until the. 1916 enrolment was
slightly above the 1000 mark.
Miss Kellar explained that stu
dents enrolling for the course are
divided into four groups; those
coming for the first time, those
who are present for the second or
third time, those in their fourth
year, and another group for those
who have attended at least five
times. Persons in each group are
offered a choice of courses avail
able to that group, but are re-
quired to complete the courses in
which they have chosen to register.
This system allows for a certain
continuity in the courses.
Those women who complete four
of the short courses are awarded
certificates which are presented to
them as part of the final days
program by H. c. Byrd, President
of the University. About 1000 wo-
men now hold one of these certifi-
Gates.

Officials See No Hope
OF Charter Revisions

LAKE SUCCESS. July 10.-Any
attempt to make major revisions in
the United Nations Charter at this
time might lead to breakup OF the
world organization, U. N. oficials
said.
Commenting on proposals put for
ward in Congress that the United
States take the initiative in trying
to revise the Charter. one U. N.
source said:
There is absolutely no chance of
revising the Charter under present
circumstances. ANY serious move in
this direction by the United States
might mean the end of the U. NJ
Delegates were reluctant to COM
ment on the proposals until 1t was
learned whether Congress would act
or whether President Truman would
eventually implement the resolution.
The general feeling among the dele
gates was that the present difncul-
ties in the U. N. stem primarily
from distrust among the big powers
rather than from Charter defects.
One course pointed out, for in
stance, that most of the trouble

and the Western powers to CO.

could hardly be changed by amend
