After Eddie Pope had won the (rst fall, Joe Turner, veteran District mid- dleweight wrestler, came back to take DOWN THE LINE WITH W. O. McGEEHAN Touring Abroa The Annual Problem. A S was to be expected, the talk of the over-emphasis of inter- collegiate athletics has risen crescendo this year because of the report of the Carnegie Foundation and because the foot ball season was more highly emphasized than ever. One of these years something may be done about it, just as, one of these years, something may be done about the tariff or prohibition enforcement. Even at this distance, I feel the annual symf clation of American University Professors, who, ham, N. C, this athy for the Asso- read, met at Dur- year in one of the most earnest of their earnest sessions. It was pointed out'again that a good college instructor got only $3,000 a year, while a good foot ball coach got $15,000 or more while he was producing winning foot ball team: s, and sometimes even when he was not producing winning foot ball teams. This has been brought out before. Obviously it is not right. The alleged purpose of a university is to teach the young men some- thing and not to draw big crowds to the foot ball games. Foot ball the legend goes, is merely an incidental college activity. Conge: quently it does not seem just that the foot ball coach should receive about five times as much as the he: ad of an academic department. But he does, and what is to be done about it Obviously the reasonable thing would be to raise the pay of the instructors. It appears that you cannot get a good foot ball coach for less than $15,000 a year—though the most successful of them all, Knute Rockne of Notre Dame University, gets only $10,000 a year, which is the price of three pretty ruir‘ instructors in the academic work. The standard of salaries alone in the American colleges would tend to lend the inference that the academic side of the college is far less important than the athletic side. The career of an in- structor is pretty drab as compared to the career of a foot ball coach. There is all drudgery and no glamor on the academic side. The fact that a foot ball coach is paid five times as muth as an instructor sets a sense of values that is ridiculously distorted. Mind, I do not maintain that the foot ball coaches—the good ones— are overpaid, but that the instructors are underpaid. A man with the ex- ecutive ability, the tireless energy and the fine common sense of Knyte Rockne at Notre Dame would be worth more than he is paid by that university in some other line of en- deavor. Judged by valuations in the athletic market, Knute Rockne is ridiculously underpaid. If you could offér Mr. Rockne to some professional sports pro- moter as an executive who could make a foot ball team play to over a million dollars in gate receipts in a season of cight games, the sports promoter easily would guarantee him a bigger salary than the one asked by Babe Ruth. ‘This would all be very reasonable if the main object of a university hap- pened to be the annual production of a reat foot ball team that would outdraw gate receipts even one of those cauli- flower shows which they call Battles of the Century and to give the old grads what Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell of - ard has cmnmrl.fitd of Roman holidays. to be some reluctance to admit frankly that this is the main idea of maintain- l.u&l some of the universities. There is still the legend that an American uni- versity remains an educational institu- tion and not an organization for the purpose of producing athletic shows that would dim any of the highly bally- hooed spectacles produced by the late Tex Rickerd. SOME time ago in an attempt to be subtly humorous 1 suggested that there was no way of telling when an in- structor was producing results because the old grads did not care about the academic department and took little pride in it. On the other hand, pointed out that if the foot ball coach did not get results in the winning of foot ball mes the alumni would clamor for his scalp. I found out since that some of the boys are advancing this theory serious- ly as an argument for the high salaries for coaches and the correspondingly low salaries for the earnest gentlemen who are working on the academic side. dangerous to jest in connection with the game of intercollegiate foot ball. ‘The boys take the thing entirely too seriously. It is not a matter treated with levity. And that is one of Altogether Too Serious. the next two in the feature match of the weekly mat card last night at the Strand, 1t i | | of college athletics. No other mat- ter in connection with education games make us appear ponderously ridiculous in the eyes of others. In. this regard I can see a greater menace than the Association of Amer- ican University Professors sees in the emphasis of the athletic side of college life over the academic, a greater menace than the alumni associations see in the athletic deterioration of their colleges, I can see in all of this overemphasized discussion of athletic overemphasis the menace of a loss of the national sense of humor and, believe me, that is a serious matter. Some Edltorial Agitation. T dear old lady, the London Times, is agitated editorially over the announcement that our Mr. Babe Ruth recently demanded a higher salary than the President of the United States. Much indignation was express- ed and the Times wondered whither we were drifting, quoting ruthlessly Mr. Kipling concerning “The flanneled fool at the wicket and the muddoed oaf at the goal.” But Mr. Ruth is our big national ‘playboy and the London Times knows him not. He is worth what he asks for as an entertainer. Court_jesters always used ‘to be highly regarded in England. At the same time I read in our That rather indicates that eeling is that it costs something maintain a successtul ‘foot ball team and, from one point of view, than it is worth, if we are to the theory that the academic side should evershadow the athletic the university. recall only one instance where a uniwersity bid for an instructor or 2 head of an academic department in & rival university. That was when Yale outbid Harvard for the services of Prof. Baker and his dramatic course and landed him. At the time I think that |most of the Yale alumni felt that the money might have been better spent in strengthening the foot ball coaching staff, which at the time was far from being all that the old grads would ask. Perhaps all of the overemphasized | discussion this year will result in some spirited rivalry ‘along academic lines in the American universities and the down-trodden members of the American I| Association of University Professors will come into ‘their own. again the matter may go over to the next year and for many succeeding years.
