All Post-Season Games and Extra': Point Scoring Rule Assailed. Usual Winter Skirmishes on Between Men and Mag- i mates—National Leagne Owners Annoyed at Being Singled Out by Players’ Union. 3 BY JOHN B. FOSTER. 1E usual winter skirmishes in the “forty years' war” between play- ers and club owners have begun again. Owners may be assured of one thing, and that is that ball players of ability rapidly are com- ., Ing to the point where they think that no sale of a player should take place unless the plav;r sold receives a percentage of the amount passing in the transaction. Even the more conservative of the athletes are boost- ing this idea among their fellow team members. - The contention is made that if a player is sold ior $10.000 the player should receive at least hali of that amount because the man who makes the sale is dickering in what the player must produce in the future. 3 The players assert that when one has not always enjoyed thgt reputa- S sold hie has proved that he is good | tion and has not Invariably stood by and his employer has gotten rull ben- | the men who have done the most for efit of the work for \ xaid em- |it.

WASHINGTON, D. C. BY FIELDING H. (“HURRY UP"f YQST, COACH OF MICHIGAN TEA.

The day of the “tramp athlete” in one college to switch to another. They tell a good story on ene well known coach of twenly yeurs agu whose name for obvious reasons I shall keep to myself. His team was being trimmed. Several of his best men were hurt and had te retire, and the substitutes were setting scarce. MICHIGAN VARSITY COAC! “HURRY UP” YOST. Finally. the captain yelled to him that the right half had becn hurt and would have to leave the game. The coach looked up and down the bench.

It is unfair for two col- leges to meet who have different rules for their eligibility committee | to work with. It also is unfair for one collega to play their freshmen on the varsity team while the other does n Tt is likewise unfair for one college to allow its men to have more time for practice than do oth- ers. Then. too. t se the case of opposing teams varying in the number of games played during a season. A foot ball team with an eleven-game schedule has an advantage of more than 50 per cent in ecxperience over teams with & seven-game schedule, and, if on the same team freshmen are per- mitted to play, the advgntage is over 100 per cent. Since the total num! of games engaged in by one player would be forty-four. while on the other enly twenty-one. No univer- sity should be permitted or should is about over. then went to another college for 1 will admit that been point by 1w is It it puts ¥or Yale want any of these advantages. Uni- form rules and equality of competi- tion are essential to the future standing of college athletics and they should exist between all contestants. Against Long Trigh, - One of the greatest menaces to the development of the sport is the ten- | dency on the part of some institutions to have too many games and to take too much time away from home. Long trips reguire the students to be sbsent from classes for too long & period and it is unfalr to pass one man for attending two classey a week while his classmates have to be present at three. I also am absolutely opposed to post-season games. I think that the foot ball season should close on the last Saturday in November. Games on the Pacific coast and in the orient, for eastern teams, after the regular| season, will gradually develop into a competitive race across the conti As soon as one university goet another wants to follow. Where will it stop? Heaven only knows. But one thing is certain—unless some ac- tive force starts to check this tend- ency to go to the Pacific coast all large eastern schools will be wanting to make the trip. Opponed to ProGame. _Of course, I do mot favor profes sional foot hall. It has a very bad influence upon the college player. It tends to make him dissatisfied to play the game for its own sake. Profes- sional foot ball robs the great American game of many of its great- est character-building qualities. The ideas of generous service, loyalty,| sacrifice and whole-hearted devotion to a cause are taken away and the game is robbed of the exhiliarating inspiration of achievement merely for achievement.
