WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS
W. Va, Jan. 17.-Some of the
things wrong with college football
today are caused by increased in
tensity due to the lack of tenure
among coaches in the opinion o1
Amos Alonzo Stagg.
Stagg, sponsor of a resolution
adopted by the NCAA Rules Com
mittee yesterday which said
coaches and officials have con-
tributed to undesirable trends. .
declared:
Unfortunately, it's a life and
death struggle with most of the
coaches because they're not sure
of holding their jobs. So if they
can beat the rules a little bit,
they're inclined by the pressure
to do it.
"It isn't a game with some"
Stage Suggests Cure.
The dean Of coaches with go
years behind him. Stagg suggested
this cure:
Coaches should be teachers and
regarded as teachers. They should
have stability in their position the
same as other members Of the
faculty.
They should be regarded from
their teaching ability, not their
winning ability. Judge them from
their ethics
One Of Stages former players
and assistants, Fritz Crisler, was
chairman of the Rules Committee,
which was preoccupied for three
days mostly in trying to restore
clean and sportsmanlike football.

St. Thomas Drops Track

Spanked by the outstanding
performance Of their star
athlete, Thorvald Slater, the
Juniors continued to hold the
line for st. Croix as they took
most of the Field and Tranck
events yesterday,
Slater, who was undoubted-
" the most brilliant athlete
up to this point in the Meet,
displayed an uncanny jump
ing style that amazed all the
spectators. He would approach
the bar straight down the mid
die at an exceedingly slow
gait, then spring in the air and
throw both feet over the bar
with the ease and agility Of a
deer, then straighten up on
the other side in a standing
position.
Most outstanding girl ath-
lete Of the day was Jureen
Francis, who took several first
places to build up points for
St.Thomas in the Field events.
AS it appears, the Juniors
by winning all their games for
girls and boys have brought
their schools position so close
to the h e a d start the
st. Thomians made against
the Seniors that there may
still be a chance to clinch the
trophy.
It is expected that hundreds
will attend the baseball game
on Sunday and the last Of the
track events on Monday.
The official records on the
track events will be published
on Tuesday, along with the re-
suits of other activities.
