NEW YORK, Aug. live
confess to a certain admiration
for the University of Virginia
in its refusal to give the Nation
al Collegiate Athletic Associa-
tion's purity code" its whole
hearted okay.
Virginia is of the opinion the
code cannot be enforced, and un-
doubtedly there are many, many
other schools which think the
same thing, but won't say so.
theoretically, the purity code
is fine, and Virginia would be
among the first to admit that. If
every school lived up to the spirit
of the code it would be Utopia,
that's all. The clammy fact,
though, is that every school won't
live up to it, and there is little
chance OF apprehending those
which want to cheat.
Virginia recognizes this. 1t
could go along with its present
policy OF alumni grants for tut
tion and board for athletes and
probably nobody would be the
wiser. 1t refuses to be hypo-
