He pointed out that lin chem
istry, for example. several awards
run as high as $2,500 per student
per year. Nor is the total amount
greater than is usually awarded to
academic schools, which last year
received $685. 900 in scholarships
and fellowships exclusive Of ath-
letic awards.
Sports Don't Make Money.
1t is a common misapprehen-
sion," Darden said, that Virginia
makes money on it's intercollegiate
athletic program.
The sports program at the uni
versity. he declared, is not yet
self -liquidating. Last year. he
said. was an above-average year
in receipts, but student fees, ticket
sales and other charges brought
in $206,000 as against an expense
budget of $184,000.
"The apparent profit" Darden
said, went into maintenance, re-
pair and additions to athletic
facilities; and to this sum we
were forced to add $4,000 from
the general fund of the State
two years ago to cover the cost
of pressing repairs to the football
stadium.
None of the athletic receipts
went to players"
Darden said he hoped the pres.
ent study of NCAA rules will re-
suit in relaxation of them which
will permit our adherence with
out any subterfuge whatsoever"
Faint Odium of Insanity"
In his report, which. covers
many phases of university life
during the year that ended July l,
Darden began his section on ath-
letics by writing that "the parts
played by athletics in higher edu-
cation can only be sketched in
generalities unless one wants to
assume the character either of a
public conscience or a common
scold.
II have no ambition to be either,
but the resolution proposed in
January. 1850. by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association to
expel the University of Virginia
and six other institutions calls for
a clear statement of our athletic
policy The NCAA resolution was
unsuccessful, but the faint odium
of insanity is still with us. Not
pretending to sit in Judgment on
others, if the full statement Of our
own case places us in the char
acter of public conscience, then
so be it."
Darden said he had tried to
make his statements clear and
simple. I know they are honest
and I know that they conceal
nothing. I hope they demonstrate
that our interest in intercollegiate
athletics is healthy interest. It
is my belief that the abandonment
of intercollegiate athletics now,
even if it becomes necessary, would
be unhealthy"

The King Ranch's 7-year-old

It used to be slightly smaller

Thirteen years ago, Ferebet

holes of golf between dawn anc

that led to his winning $25, 1000 ir

When Jannison met Ferebee the

it was 10 in golf, but plus that he

later that the arm was broken

He was the last United States

A ProdigiOus Golf Feat.
On their winning round of golf
which was a best-ball IS, Jami-

of his exploits. These are some
of the stories Ferebee told:
After he played IA holes at
Olympia Fields in one day, Sc
holes over each of the four courses

cropped up throughout the coun-
try, The fellow who lost the
$4,000 to Ferebee didn't like the

Ferebee might have been a ter
rifle athlete, but he wasn't big
enough. When he attended VMI
and the University of Virginia he
made the lightest class on the
wrestling team. but coaches in
other sports turned him down.
The fellow has tremendous
stamina. In January of last year
he shot 100 rounds of skeet in 4
hours and 18 minutes, which is o.

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.-For his
superb defensive play against
Michigan last Saturday, Elmer
Stout, defensive center of Army's
unbeaten and united eleven, to-
day was named the Associated
Press college football lineman Of
the week.
Four times the legions from Anr
Arbor were thrown back in the
shadow of the Army goal posts
Leading this defense was Stout, 9
20-year-old junior from South
River, N. j.
Thus to the 5-foot-11, 180-
pound cadet goes the major share
of the credit for helping Army re-
tain its No. l ranking in the
weekly AP poll.
Stout called the defensive sig
nails. With all but one of Mich
igans threats thrown back, it is
evident he was calm and alert
under pressure.
HE was very important" said
Col. Red Blaik, Army coach. This
could be classified as the under
statement of the week.
Stanford End Second.
Stout put on his vivid per-
formance in New York. Across
the country in California, big
Bill McColl, Stanford end, came
through with a topnotch per-
formance against Santa Clara
that earned him second place in
the lineman poll.
The 20-year-old McColl, stand
ing 6:04 and weighing 22s
pounds, played left end on de-
fense, then switched to right enc
on offensive. Against Santa Clara
he also was used as safety man.
Stanford, favorite to win the
Pacific Coast Conference, won by
10 points, but it was a tight
squeeze and it took McColl's pass
catching to turn the trick.

But, he added, the university
officials "are not now and never
have been" in noncompliance
with the basic objectives of tht
code or of the NCAA.
Contributions from alumni last
year amounted ito less than $32..
900, to provide scholarships which

Philadelphia Boss
Who Is 81, Has Held
Post Since 1901
BY The Associofed Press

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 18. -
Connie Mack retired today as
manager of the Athletics, a post
he has held since 1901 when the
American League was organized.
Mack will be succeeded as field
boss Of the AS by Jimmy Dykes,
colorful ex-third baseman for the
AS and one time manager of the
White Sox. t...
Mack is 81 years old. His 88th
birthday anniversary will be OBJ
served December %.
Under Fire by Fans.
He had been under fire for a
number of years by sports fans in
Philadelphia who argued that
Mack had outlived his usefulness
The Athletics wound up last in
the American League in the sea-
son just completed. Dykes acted
as assistant manager and took
over the field job on a number of
occasions near the end of the sea-
son.
Under the reorganization plan,
Arthur Ehlers, director of the
Athletics farm system. will be-
come general manager-a position
held by Mickey Cochrane from the
middle of last season until his
resignation last month.
Decision Reached Recently.
Mack's decision to retire after
winning nine American League
pennants and five World Series
was reached few days ago after
series of discussions with his
sons. Roy and Earle.
When Roy and Earle purchased
the controlling interest in the
club last summer they announced
their father would remain as man.
ager as long as he desired.
Connie Mack, making the an
Fnouncement at a press conference,
said:
Il am retiring from the active
management of the baseball club
but will remain as a director"
Connie Mack was indeed the
grand old man of baseball.
In his association with the. Ath-
letics, which began when he took
over the managerial post in 1901,
he compiled an imposing list of
superlatives which may never be
equaled in diamond annals.
Mack'S association with base
ball was longer than that of any
other man. He built more cham
plonship teams than any other.
He wrecked more flag winners
than any other. He developed
the greatest number of outstand-
ing players. including such lumi-
naries as Lefty Grove. Jimmy
Foxx. Mickey Cochrane, Eddie
Collins and Rube Walberg.
Wanted Another Pennant.
But despite Comics age, he
remained fully abreast of the de-
velopments of the times and as
late as 1916 declared he would
live to build another American
League flag winner.
Mack was born December %,
1862 in East Brookfield, Mass. His
name then was Cornelius McGilli-
cuddy, but sports writers whitfield
that down to Connie Mack in the
dawn of modern baseball.
He was married twice, and was
the father of seven children. His
first wife died in 1898 and he re-
married in 1910.
AS owner, manager and princi-
pal stockholder of the Athletics,
Mack was estimated to have about
