ARDOR COOLING Setback ‘Given Game In Chicago by Late “Cradle-Robbing” By “OWEN L. | L, SCOTT (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) CHICAGO, Deo. 18.—Profeasional football, which a few short weeks ago, set out for new heights with a bang, amid verbal bouquets and front-page publicity, today stands re- vealed as something of a cradle rob- The pro game which gained tts pinnacle with the acquisition of Grange, reached down to the depths here to take four high achool youths with a future fn amateeur athletics, in order to frame a sé@tup team. And public favor, given, so quickly and so profusely when Red Grange sallied forth to make a fortune, haa as quickly cooled, with the revela- tion of cradle-robbing. E. C. Delaporte, secretary of the Chicago high school board of ath- letic control, turned on the light which is showing some of the dark Places in the affairs of the profes- sional game. He revealed that William Thomp- son, center; James Snyder, halfback; Jack Daniels, halfback, and Charles Richardson, quarterback, on the En- glewood high schcol team, had been enticed to play on a team designated os the Milwaukee Badgers, in a fame against the Chicago Cardinals, The contest was claimed by the Car- dinals to give them a tle for the professional league champlonshlp. These boys, all prep school stars and facing a future in college ama- teur athletics, are now branded as Professionals, with the road to fame closed to them, The higt school athletics authorities removed their amateur standing and only special action by the athletic board of con- trol can restore their standing. The boys all admit that they play- ed, but maintained that they were enticed by a former Englewood high THE TRIBUNE’S SPORT NEWS PAGE ELEVEN “ay NORMAN One change in the existing foot: ball rules should be brought about before the dawn of another season The football rules committee will do well to devote time Individually to weighing this matter before the annual meeting. The change referred to ts the abolishment of the huddle system, The system is a failure, This has been proved beyond a doubt. What little added success it may bring a team is more than discount- ed by the dampening effect it has on the game in general. It slows up the game. Tt is generally unpopular. And all this without producing one compensating feature. The system wag devised for two ostensible reasons; To permit collective thought on each play. To Insure correct interpretation of . BROWN tance and consequent confusion due | « to the hubbub of the watching mul- titude. The system no doubt gives the quarterback time to confer with his mates and plan his campaign more deliberately. It may eliminate possible confusion and consequent fatalities in wild moments. But for one thing {t has robbed the game of {ts most spectacular feature—the fearless, dynamic lead ership of the quarter or field gen eral, calling his signals in shar ato tones, trying by the very and dash of his attack to away the opposition But that ts not all.

It develops that in this game for the professional champlonahip, the Milwaukee Badgers did not have more than one or two regulars—that the players were largely high school boys and pick-ups.
