TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN’S, 7th & F Standard Cigar & Tobacco Co., Distributors, ATHLETICS AGAIN HIT BY DUBUQUE U. HEAD By the Associated Press. DES§ MOINES, Iowa, June 2.—Dr. Carl F. Wettstone, president of Du- buque University, who recently abol ished intercollegiate athletics at that institution, told a church audience vesterday that schools must begin em- phasizing brain instead of muscle if they are to accomplieh the purpose | for which they were founded. | Dr. Wettstone, a graduate of Du. buque, who played foot ball for four years, declared he hoped to see the| day come when young men will en gage in sports, not for remuneration, | but for the exercise. “If foot ball is becoming a business, as the erection of huge stadiums would indicate, then let the outside world handle it," he said. “Educational institutions, though hard pressed for funds, have not been founded for such purposes. It is im perative that our educational institu- tions become noted once again for their professors and scholars instead of their coaches and ball teams.” Dr. Wettstone, whose action in abol- ishing intercolleglate athletics at Du- buque has brought a flood of con demnation and criticism from all parts of the Nation. said he was in favor of abolishing gate receipts, of | athletic scholarships and the practice of “scouting.” - The average American golfer spends | $100 a year for the privilege of play- ing the game.
