DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
The score last night was University of Chicago $8,000,000; the
All-America football universities $000,000,000. These figures are in
reverse with those published during the football season, when Chi
cago was taking terrific beatings from all opponents.
A short time ago Chicago decided to quit football altogether.
Within the past few days $8,000,000 has been ‘donated to the
institution on the south side of the loop, which this year had the
worst big league football team in . America.
Robert Hutchins, Chicago’s president, one college prexy who
succeeded in keeping himself at least two newspaper paragraphs
in front of his own football coach, has moved from the bottom of the
intercollegiate league to the top. It seems that in the “Bequests”
league football does not rate.
“A University,” declared a competent critic, “can not buy much
with newspaper headlines, but with $8,000,000 it can cut a dash in
education.”
Orson C. Wells, retired Chicago broker, who died in Florida,
, December 10, left $2,000,000 to Chicago. Albert D. Lasker, Chicago
