rolled at Washington and Jeffer-

course included Greek. psychology

place in college, fowler could give
the educators bit of advice, too.
But for football" the Deacon
said. Il probably would have got a
job in mill and followed the
line Of least resistance"
Towler's prayer before a game
is an acknowledgment of God
and thanks to Him for giving the
players strength and ability to
play the game. He doesn't fol-
low the same form from week to
week, although he always closes
with the same line from scrip
ture:
Help us to run and not be
weary, to walk and not faint"
For help, incidentally, fowler
may call on the Rams bull

Hoerner, 6-foot-4, 220 pounds;
Tank Younger. 6-foot-3, .226, and
fowler, 6-foot-2. 220. with Bob

Head ofCo||ege Probe
Hopes Bowl Games
Are on Way Out

President John A. Hannah OF
Michigan State College, chairman
of a group of college heads study
ing what's wrong with intercol-
legiate sports, said he personally
hoped bowl games would be a
thing of the past.
The committee. a special group
set up by the American Council on
Education, concluded a two-day
session here yesterday and will
return December 1913. At that
time it will interview basketball
and football coaches, athletic di-
rectors and members of the NCAA.
DR.. Hannah said his group
definitely had made progress at
the sessions here. Several more
meetings will be held before any
reforms are proposed.
Bowl games will be one Of the
major football issues and DR.
Hannah said he hoped they would
be a thing OF the past. Michigan
State will become eligible for the
Rose Bowl in 1853 when it's games
count in the Big Ten football
standings. but the Big Ten-Pacific
Coast pact comes up for renewal
again in 1854. DR.. Hannah limited
that the agreement might be
vetoed at that time.
One of the points brought out
after yesterdays session was that
there should not be any snap
courses for athletes. Like other
they should get COM
plete education.

Record Is Impressive.
It is an impressive champion
ship record that Mentzer takes
into tonight's game. Three times
his Eastern teams have battled
for the Interhigh crown-in 1914,

this or that institution of higher

However, in view of the present

that they are likely to continue

cognizance of the situation.

Deacon fowler Leads Rams
In Prayer and Pros in Yards

Deacon Dan fowler, husky Negro

McMillin's "Prayin' Colonies" of
Centre College won lasting fame
by their 60 upset victory over
Harvard in 1921. The Cleveland
Browns say a prayer before going
into action, and innumerable COL
lege teams follow the same prac-
tice. But The Rams got started
almost by accident. Deacon Dan
asked Coach Joe Stydahar if he
might say a prayer before the
start of an exhibition game last
year and the team won. He re-
peated it before the big" game
with the Chicago Bears that put
the Rams in the championship
playoff with the Browns, and they
won again. From that time on
the Rams have prayed.

POLL TAX MONEY
ROLLING IN TO
TREASURER

Poll tax money is really rolling
into the treasurer's office these
days.
Workers in the office state that
the rush really began more than
a week ago and that it is expect
ed to continue until the deadiine
May 5. Asked if the payments
were by individuals, the workers
"You might call it col
lective." Orders for payment OF
poll taxes signed by the individu-
al are being brought in by party
workers. The Republicans seem
to be operating through precinct
workers, while the Democrats are
working through a central organ
ization.
1t is an open secret that candi-
dates in county election put up
cash by the thousands for the
payment of poll taxes. Quite UNI
officially, it is estimated that Re-
publican candidates will have to
fork over in the neighborhood of
$4,000 and that Democratic can
didates will have to put out at
least half that amount. In he
years since 1947, the Democrats
have had an edge in the pay
ments, usually by individuals.
All in all, everything points to
an old-time campaign in the coun
ty this year. However, up to this
time, it is reported that the bulk
of the people are somewhat apa-
thetic and the usual spring enthus
iasm is lacking.
