Sports writers almost unanimous- criticise the “noble experiment” of prohibiting subsidies and soft jobs for the players. Some charge insincerity in its purpose, see gross unfairness in its operation, and pre- dict collapse of conference athletics as its result The housecleaning ordered by faculty athletic representatives, meeting in Los Angeles the week after the Rose Bowl game, Their action followed study of a 2,000,000 word report, compiled at a cost of $40,000, which described general re- ng and subsidizing of football players throughout the conference. ‘Equalizer, Not Purifier’ Having voted the purity they gave it teeth by engaging Ed- win A. Atherton, former G-man and compiler of the report, to police the cenference and keep its ath- leties strictly amateur.
