What’s Wrong With Football
Topic Of Athletic Leaders
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—(A*)—In
jood voice after two days of pre
liminary verbal sparring, collage
sthlrtic leaders got around to the
main portion of their bid-winter
meetings today, determined to do
their best to find out what’s wrong
trith football.
WHh the topic, "Are bur Inter-1
sollegiate Athletics to Remain Ama
teur." as the center of discussion.'
jrveral good vocal blasts were ex
pected on both sides of the ques
tion at the convention of the Na
tional Collegiate Athletic assocla- j
Hon. .
Meanwhile the football coaches, i
many of whom have been talking
informally since Sunday night, were
(dated to direct their big guns at
the principal subject of discussion
during the past season—the forward
pa.^ interference ruling.
The winter gatherings already
have procured frank statements of
the sort seldom heard except In In-;
formal talks. At least two solid wal
lops were taken during yesterday’s
round-table discussions at the pres
ent conduct of intercollegiate ath
letics in respect to recruiting and
subsidizing.
Dr. William L. Hughes, associate
professor of physical education at
Teachers college, Columbia univer
sity. and Dr. J. H. Nichols, director
of athletics at Oberiin college, as
sailed "hypocrisy and dishonesty”
of present athletic trends.
Off-Season Labor
In Baseball Goes
On All The Year
CHICAGO, Dec. 29.- UP) —John
q Fan. crunching peanuts and
enjoying a good ball game of a
pleasant summer afternoon, prob
ably doesn’t give a thought to the
hours and weeks of off-season la
bor behind the show.
Cold winds now sweep over base
ball diamonds and the crash of
wood against horsehide may be just
an echo, but take it from William
Harrldge, his American League of
fice is busier than at any time dur
ing the playing aeaeon or even
during the height of a bitterly
fought world series.
Dropping a pile of correspondence
in front of Henry P. Edwards, the
league’s service bureau director,
Harridge said, “not a day goes by
but we get requests for information
from fans, sports writers, baseball
bugs' wanting decisions on knotty
problems, requests from far-away
places like Africa for dope on base
ball.
"When the regular season ends
we swing into world series work.
Then come the annual meetings—
and owners depend on us to give
them black-and-white reports of
all that went on. Audits must be
made and the new schedule draft
ed. The umpires must be assigned,
first for ttye spring training season
and then for the regular season—
and the first thing we know anoth
er campaign has started.”

ROUNDUP M
By SCOTTY HESTON
(Pinch Hitting For Eddie Briett)
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.
Fielding Yost, Michigan’s beloved
athletic director, has faltered Into
the anti-climax of a great career
. . . . Dan McQugln of Vanderbilt
and "G" Huff of Illinois, his two
best friends, have died in the past
year .... A. A. Stagg, another
crony, has escaped to the coast . . .
So he wanders these days through
another generation at the coaches
meetings telling the young upstarts
of the past .... Another dramatic
figure at the meetings is young Vic
Manson, recently fired football
coach at Syracuse ... Vic is mak
ing the rounds trying to scrape up
a job, while a line forms on the
right for his old post .... Gossip
in the lobby now is that Fred
Thomsen, Arkansas coach, has the
edge . ... J. C. Dolley of Texas Is
also interviewing candidates to
succeed Jack Chevigny.
Add similes: As deserted as a
bar at a coaches’ meeting ....
Judge Bramham. head of the
minor leagues, is being talked
about as the succa aor to Judge
Landis, when and if . . . Bram
ham gets 912,090 a year, Landis
945,000 .... Two coaches were
discussing New Y^rk today . . .
“Whaddya think of Times
Square?” asked one . . . "It’s
the only place in the world
where you get fresh peanuts out
of a penny machine,” said the
other ....
Dope is that D. E. Jessee, football
coach at Trinity college, will get
the Syracuse athletic directorship
.Tip: The Giants will buy
the Albany franchise for 952,500
within the next two days or forget
Albany and dicker for the Toranto
franchise .... Frank McCormick,
Minnesota athletic director, was
sent to Washington by the National
Collegiate Athletic association to
lobby for the abolition of the ad
mission tax on games played by
state school teams, but he didn’t
get into the government’s half of
the field.
Rain No Bother
To Coach “Jock”
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 29.—(/P)
—Jock Sutherland didn't come to
California just to see how some
winter sunshine—so the rain isn't
bothering him.
In fact, the coach of Pitt's Rose
Bowl aspirants. told a surprised
chamber of commerce at San Ber
nardino he was even glad it rained
because it gave his boys a chance
to renew acquaintanceship with a
slippery football. Sutherland added
a tgcit, kindly prediction that he
did not believe It would rain next
Prlday when the Panthers meet I
Washington.
Also undisturbed by the weather.
Coach Jimmy Phelan took his
Washington Huskies out for a spi
rited dummy scrimmage in crisp,
autumn-like air.
Sloppy going or dry, one thing Is
certain .the more than 80.000 fans
will see two of the most determin
ed bands of grid warriors in the
colorful history of the tournament
of roses.
