. : SPORTS, Open Aid for College Athletes Urged : Foot Ball Leaders Scarce in Midwest Mohawks Must Overcome Knicks To Figure as Title Contenders ACTION SUGGESTED T0 END HYPOCRISY Hope Carnegie Foundation Report May Help Solve Sports Problem. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. TLANTA, Ga. November 5. —The Carnegie Founda- tion for the Advancement of Teaching has launched another investigation of the con- duct of intercollegiate athletics to supplant the famaus Bulletin 23, which jostled, but, no means, dis- integrated, the existing system of college sport administration. Southern institutions and presumably seats of higher learning throughout the country are being questioned as to the present status of scholarship among athletes, and whether or not reforms, remedies, ameliorations and so forth have been premulgated if not put into effect. “The supposition is that the check-up will be embodied in another bulletin, whose teeth will perhaps be sharper than the fangs of Builetin 23, whose molars and bicuspids were blunted by defects instantly recognized by the intercollegiate body politic. May Formulate Code. It may well be that in reports re- turned to the Carnegle organization will be found suggestions as to & code of eligibility, as well as a system of methods regulating conditions under which impoverished athletes might find @ home in the university of their choice which would greatly improve, if not al- together check, a gondition which finds the subsidizing of athletes, proselyting and the like flourishing &s luxuriantly as though the Carnegie report had not been issued. “How would it be,” asked the leader of a great Northern institution recent- ly, “were athletic scholarships by this and other universities awarded openly and honestly? Sums, say not exceed- ing $300 or $400, would be awarded by the president of a university or the chairman of the faculty athletic com- mittee to boys who upon. irivestigation were found ‘to be deserving of this bounty. The sums advanced would be loans, indorsed by responsible rrwm known to the university officials, and would be paid off after graduation. “In this way,” said this university e writer, “the present be eliminated and influence, which we all know exists, be reduced to a minimum. Ath- letes, as we all know, are likely to be been reared to lives of self-sacrifice.

And, also, it might be in order to separate those institutions whose ath- Jetes may indulge in- varsity sports while majoring in a subject which merely requires their hanging around a dairy, or something of the sort, from students in jostitutions where mathe- ing within the arts are BY OSSIE SOLEM, Coach at Drake U. Written for Associated Press. OACH Dick Hanley at North- . western, in my opinion, has one of the greatest backs ever to grace a foot ball field. Hank Bruder is the back in ques- tion. Bruder weighs 200 pounds. He is fast and as graceful and nifty on his feet as a toe dancer. A dash off tackle by Bruder from the two-wing back formation is one Northwestern Utilizes Bruder, Its Great Back, To Make Simple Thrust Through Rivals’ Tackle of the most consistent gainers Northwestern has. Russell, quarterback, receives the ball from the center and simply places it into the pit of Bruder's stomach as he comes by. Oliphant, right end, and Rentner, right wing back, jam the defensive left tackle in: Lee Hanley, the deep back, and Kent, right guard, tear cut and run the defensive left end out. ‘Woodworth, left guard, comes out to lead Bruder up the fleld. After g-ound Record of Neyland . Beaten by Warner ‘Tennessee's long string of 30 vic- tories and three ties was recently broken by Alabama. From 1926 to 1930, the Vols played 33 games with- out a defeat being chaiked up. But in that string of 33 games were three tle games. The great Pitt team bf Pop Warner's day had 33 straight vic- tories without even a tie to mar it. ‘Warner took over Pitt in 1915 and the year before Joe Duff’s team lost but one game. The last two games played in Duff's regime were wins for Pitt. So with the two victories Duff had left him, Warner started off on a long string which continued through 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918 and up into 1919. Syracuse the third tcam on the schedule in 1919 upset the Panthers by a decisive score. In the meantime Pitt had won two in 1914, eight in 1915 and 1916, nine in 1917, four in 1918 @he war year) and two in 1919, But there is a catch even there— ‘Warner's great team lost a tough one to the Great Lakes service team in Cleveland in 1918. But that wasn't a college game. The nearest Warner came to de- feat in a college game was with Navy matics, ges and other time-hon- ored subjects essential. THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RICE Charity Games. HE old battle between Tubal and Jubal Cain was a mild affair * compared to the debate between State authorities, charity leaders and those in chatge of the foot ball situation. v The first two organizations feel that this happens to be an unusual occasion on the side of depression, unemployment and suffering, They also know that five college could be arranged which would e in at least a million dollars for this charity fund. They are also ouf in their statements that the universities and colleges have con- | tributed practically nothing to one of the gravest sifuations the country has every known. Against this the directors of college athletics feel that if the bars are let down for one occasion, a habit may be started which will do foot ball a world of damage; that future demands will be made and that foot ball players will be used to build up charity work. Ordinarily one would vote with the | college authorities. But the present| situation is such that the help of the entire Nation is needed, and this hap- pens to include the colleges and the college foot ball players. If a million dollars can be raised in this fashion it is far more important to feed and clothe those out of work, | largely through no fault of their own, than it is to build bowls and stadia and athletic fields. Sport is important, but it is not nearly as important as food and clothes and a place to sleep. Sport, as a matter of fact, is something in- finitesimal compared to the basic funda- mentals which happen to be the foun- dation of raw existence. College foot ball players may be sick of the game by the end of November. But they are not as weary of foot ball | as heads of families, who can’t provide | food and clothing, are weary of life. “There is no university with any feeling of humanity in its make-up that will step aside.at this point. The greatest contribution the colleges | of America can make now would be to | — arrange all possible post-season contests and turn in a fund—not of $1,000,000— but several millions of dollars—that might give many thousands a chance— not to play—but to eat and live. will be an incredible thing if college suthorities fail to see their duty in this emerge -where under normal con- ditions present stand would be along correct lines. only one way the leading nnbz:uu can evade this issue and t is to donate a percentage their gate receipts for foot ball o this cause. This ies to Yale, Harverd, Dart- in 1916. Pitt won 20 to 19. men. And their number is legion. ‘The situation today is another matter. | In many respects it is fully as critical | as the period of the World War, where | they abolished all colicge games. Now there is a real need along opposite lines—where the universities can either | go over the duck for the shriter of rear line dugouts. It is true the foot ball players ma: be overworked. But that is better an softer than being underfed and under- clothed and out of a job with a family to support. TTH all this talk of foot ball com- mercialization, here is the big| chance to prove something on the | other side of the case. * ‘There are some verses from Herman Hagedorn's Harvard class poem of many ’ years back that might be rcad again in this connection— | Oid gods have fallen and the new must rise Out of the dust of doubt and broken | creeds; The sons of those who cast men’s idols Tow | Must build up for @ hungry people’s | needs— New gods, new hopes, new strength toil and grow: Knowing that naught that ever lived | to| can die; No act, no dream, but spreads its sails sublime, Sw«epflngwacron the visible seas of time Into the treasure haven of eternity. The. portals are open, the pale light e speeds To the zenith with glamour and | golden dart; On, up! Boot and saddle! Give spurs to your steeds. There’s a city beleaguered that cries for men’s deeds, With the pain of the world in its cavernous heart. Ours be the triumph! Humanity calls! | Life’s mot a dream in the clover!

Booth runs, YOST NOTES LACK OF GRIDRON STARS Inspiring Player Such as Booth Invaluable, Says Michigan Sage. BY FIELDING H. YOST, (Athletic Director, Michigan U.) Written for the Associated Press. UTSTANDING foot ball sea~ sons are the years of the great foot ball personali- ties. In common with everyday life, foot ball personalities are of two kinds. One is the player of great mechanical pérfection. The other is the inspirational leader. e One, because of his unerring play, | Y Pom;nr:m his constant presence at the right t, ® his advance of the ball, his o mfl and Devines have not ap- passing, tackling, may be the darling of the bleachers. Earnshaw Called Best Since Matty The second, because of his ability to mould 11 men into a cohesive unit and use.that unit to the limit of its indi- vidual powers, also may be adored by the crowd, but his real value appeals especially to his squad and his coach. To borrow a simile from another field of public appearance, one is the me- chanically perfect, the technically thrilling Heifetz; the other the impas- sloned Kreisler, Leader Gets Call. No coach would turn down the per-| fect mechanical player. But his heart, | and those of the squad, go out to the | great leader. Michigan had one outstanding | leader: Boss Weeks, quarterback of Lhe“ first two teams I coached here, Weeks | was the leader without reproach. He | | drove two Michigan teams to a total ol‘ | 1,214 points against 12. | Had he told either team to charge a stone wall it would have done so, I| ]b!he\'c, so much did the teams believe | {in him. . Sometimes a combination of the | great player and the great leader ap- | pears. Yale seel to e one now LEVELAND, November 5 (#).— | George Earnshaw, says Charles Rigler, veteran National League umpire, is the greatest righthander since Christy Mathewson. Rigler, who was one of the National League umpires in the World between Earnshaw's club, the Phila- delphia ‘Athletics, and the St. Louis Cardinals, sald Ea W in addi- tion to his speed had an assortment of curces that equaled anything in the National League. “In one game,” Rigler said, “eight out of 10 balls Earnshaw pitched were curves. It was not until the last game that he really cut loose with his speed. “The sun went down after the first two innings, and the big pitcher actually had the Cards swinging in self protection.” eat | giving the ball to Bruder, Russell turns and blocks any lineman who may have sifted through. Baker, the rangy left end, may patrol be- hind the line with the same purpose in mind. The:e is no deception whatsoever in this play, but when preceded by a series of fakes and spinners and crise-crosses and reverses the sim- plicity adds to its effectiveness. SPORTS. P the Mohawks mean to wear the District sandlot foot ball crown this year, or at least battle the champion Apaches for it, theyll have to beat the Knickerbockers in the latter's local debut tonight at the Grif- fith Stadium at 8:15 o'clock. Because thg Knicks have yet to per- form before the home folks, the strength of the Kersey-managed club is more or less & question. On past performances the Mohawks should win, as they held the Irvingtons, who conquered the Knicks by three touchdowns, to a scoreless tie, Thus far neither eleven has shown a mean wallop, the Knicks being held scoreless in two games and the Mo- hawks scoring only three touchdowns in five games, Frank Kersey, manager of the Knick- erbockers, appears to have a strong paper team, with several college and sandlot stars of ranking in the line-up, but whether he can put his paper team on the fleld is a question. Steve Bar- abas and Bob Dwyer, former George- town athletes, who were named as back- fleld starters, are not expected to see action, while the chance that Denny Sothern, Pittsburgh outfielder, would play is slight. At least two members of the five ex- iled G. W. freshmen are sure starters tonight, according to Kersey. They are Jovick, end, and Walsh, hal Probable line-ups: o .Colller {3) ickerbockers—] (22), .

Cities which can- not support their own citizens fall by the wayside in the. path of progress. Washington has a fine record of em- ployment growth. From 1918 to 1928 it absorbed a fifty per cent drop in Government employment and at the same time increased its population eleven per cent. The current busiriess depression presents a challenge to government agencies, to local business firms, and to all citizens, to meet the present JOBS ~ situation, either by creating new work or by broadening present em- ployment by increased buying. Washington, in this emergency, will not fail to meet her proper obli- - gations. American courage and in- itiative, in the past, have met and solved successfully problems such as the present one, and we have our full share of courage and initiative here in Washington. As lasting recovery can come only as the result of business expansion the Washington Buy Now Committee urges all District citizens to Buy Now for Better Business.
