BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES. Januarv 23.— Gambling, if you ask Marshall Rotwithstanding that it realizes it is hardly up to some of its former court | standards and also that it will be | against a school strong in all branches | of sports, expects to carry the fight to | the Gothamites. | In the last four or five years George- town has been building up quite a rivalry with New York U. of course, this i has found expression to a greater extent in foot ball than in any other sport, but in basket ball, track, the competition has been keen, though ot so spectacular. Georgetown's five against Mount St. Mary’s Wednesday night, which it de- feated easily, exhibited better offensive form than any previous contest. It made good a greater percentage of its ,-h:fi and its floor work was of a higher er. The only other game this week end is that in which Gallaudet goes to| ‘Towson tonight to play Maryland State | Normal School. The Kendall Green five should win about as it pleases. If | it fails to run up a big score it will be | only because it does not care to do so. American University, with substitutes ying three-fourths of the game, won & big margin, and Gallaudet is just about as good as the Methodists. EORGETOWN'S 1-mile relay team is due to run tomorrow night in the Brooklyn College games in | Brooklyn. The Blue and Gray is to| be matched against Holy Cross, Boston College and New York University, it is reported, and either of these three usually is a match for any opponent. In some of the greatest relay races that have ever been run in Madi- son Square Garden have been between Holy Cross and Georgetown, and some of the fastest times made have been hung up in races between these two. y team will be made up just 85 John O'Reilly stated some time ago it would be. Vic Burke, Jim Kelly, Jack Mara and Chuck Carlin are slat- ed to carry on their shoulders the bur- den of Georgetown's prestige, and they have confidence in their ability to make good. In addition to these men, Georgetown will be represented by Al Kelly in the sprints.

'N a radio talk, Pred Rice, former Catholic University basket ball coach, advocated greater interest on the part of the Government in physical education for young men and women. It was Rice’s thought that, while a great many agencies look after the wel- fare of boys and girls until they are 0 0 0 0 1 0 i 8| mucoccan Duffield, University of Southern California quarterback and honor student, is the spectre which hangs | menacingly over intercollegiate foot | ball. | Quiet spoken, serious minded, the | blond giant whose broken-field running 50 often disheartened his opponents, to- day turned back the pages of three year’s gridiron history and put his fin- ger on what he believes to be the game's.chief foe—betting. ‘This, more than all the efforts of subsidizing, large gate receipts and specialization will, in Duffield’s opinion, send foot ball to an ultimate fall unless & halt is called. “Players are approached by friends, fraternity brothers, alumni, outsiders,” said Marshall. “They all ask the same question, ‘How will the game come out, I want to put my dough on it.’ “Betting has increased to large pr: portions since I started out'as a 5o] omore, and while I have never heard of a player being bought off, gambling | puts a fellow in a compromising posi- tion. Berated for Errors. “If you make a mistake which costs | the game—and all of us make a lot | of mistakes—you get panned for it just as though it could have been helped. After all, most of the players are just | youngsters playing the game because they like it. The way they get razzed for errors you would think they were getting paid for playing foot bail.” Duffield fits into the category of “youngsters,” for he will be graduated from the College of Liberal Arts with a major in economics in June, at the age of 21 Then he plans to continue his studies at Harvard. field firmly ' believes that psychology leads all other elements in accounting for victories. ““Take our one-sided victories over Stanford and California last season. It was the first time in many years that Southern California had beaten these two traditional rivals in the same year. “We went into the Stanford game bawling like a bunch of kids. Coach Howard Jones had us keyed up to the highest pitch, and after we got the jump on them we knew they couldn't al So far as the game itself goes, Duf- BRANDS GAMBLING WORST COLLEGE FOOT BALL EVIL Betting Game’s Chief Foe, Thinks Duffield, South- ern California’s Star Quarterback—Players Are Berated Too Severely for Errors. win They knew it also, and that’s why the score was 41 to 12. The 74-to-0 victory over California was the same thing. No Rivalry in Game. “With Notre Dame it was different. The same keen rivalry of the California and Stanford games was absent. All Coach Jones could say to us was that Notre Dame had a great jeam; that the players were smart, and that Coach Knute Rockne was a good coach and a. great sportsman. “We couldn't get fired up about it, with the betting odds in our favor and no sentiment back of the contest. Then when Notre Dame got that first break we just folded up. If it had been Stan- ford or California it would have been different. “While I think the breaks of the game make a lot of difference, it seems to me that the psychological aspect overshadows this.” Duffield is convinced that his big- gest moment in a grid contest came in 1929, when Southern California de- feated Stanford, 7 to 0. He had been substitute quarter to Russ Saunders for more than a year—but let Marshall tell it. “Coach Jones came to me about 11 o'clock that morning and told me I was to start. Of course I was excited and nervous. When the game got un- der way Stanford tried to advance the ball but failed and then they punted. Uses Shrewd Tactics. “We had been tcld that their left tackle was a bit slow getting started so I shot a play at him and gained about 30 yards. I tried the same thing a couple more times and then I saw the secondary defense moving up. “It looked like the psychological moment, so on the next play I threw a pass over the center of the line into the hole left by the fullback as he charged up, and Prancis Tappan took it for a touchdown. “As a result, they publicized me a lot for the tactics. It might have failed and then I would have been a chump.” So far as the game goes, Duffield be- lieves that the chief fault rests in the fact that it is the ball carrier who gets the glory. “Take Stan Williamson, our center. He was the first one out for practice every day. He spends a lot of time in the Summer practicing passing. He is 50 good that he can knock bottles off a fence post 9 times out of 10. He never drinks or smokes. “Yet his part in the game goes un- noticed and we ball carriers who have the path paved for us, get all the praise. I suppose it will always be like that, but it isn't fair.” With that Duffield picked up his books and dashed off to an economics class. - SCHOOLBOY QUINTS AGTIVE TOMORROW Will Figure in" Five Tilts. Central and Emerson Teams Beaten. IVE basket ball teams of the Dis- trict schoolboy group will show on out-of-town courts tomorrow Business, Eastern, Western, Lan- don and St. Alban's are booked.

To meet this need, Rice advo- | cated a program under Government | supervision. He spoke as follows in this connection: | “My answer to this problem is a| program which contemplates a Govern- | ment department of physical develop- ment for the youth from 14 to 21.| organized, maintained and supervised by the Government. I know the idea | will be criticized and may not be per- | fect, but we have tried other noble experiments where the result, even if | accomplished, would not compensate as | would the idea here presented. The moral training we will still leave to the churches and confine our develop- | ment to the building of the body and strictly social activities. The plan, | briefly, contemplates the Government building stadiums, or recreation parks | for each and every outdoor sport, build- | ing and equiping halls for each nndi every indoor Winter sport, furnishing | the athletic equipment for the boy or? girl of limited means, developing and | maintaining a corps of physical in- structors and doing each and every-| thing necessary to carry out an ideal | social life for the young and build as| near perfect men and women physical- ly as it is humanly possible. “Germany, with its enforced military service, developed marvelous men, who came very close to whipping the world. ‘The era of Greece that is called the Golden Age and the period when Rome | dominated the world, were in each instance when these particular coun- tries supervised and developed the man- hood and womanhood of their nations. “We have Government departments to develop parks and trees. Why not | develop men and- women? We have a | mrtmenl to build roads. Why not /d men and women? We are spend- ing millions in the development of each and every department of our city and millions in the bullding of ificent structures. Why not spend millions, if necessary, in order to build the proper kind of men and women to maintain and enjoy the benefits thereof?” GOES WITH DE HART Tilson Follows Foot Ball Mentor to Washingtn and Lee. , N.

It was the sixth win in as many | starts for the Maryland Cubs, who now have defeated all the District public high school quints except Tech, to met later.

LORS A few styles $9.85 SPORT HEALTHIER THAN EVERBEFORE Writer Recalls Time When Leading Schools Openly Subsidized Players. BY LAWRENCE PERRY. N this open season for opin- ions from every one—players, coaches, athletic directors, I the public generally—about in- tercollegiate foot ball, any one who has followed college sports over a period of years will not get greatly excited. ‘The present windy season differs from past Winters only in degree, not in kind. The talk, in other words, is Winter league stuff, and its substance is not one bit more enduring than the snow that now blankets our more northerly States. Foot ball has an iron constitution— the only reason it is living and thriv- ing today. And it is, in fact, in better health today than it ever was, if only because it wad taken out of the hands of the students at a crucial time. It is a better game, because paid coaches of character, sense of responsibility and real ability to teach have supplanted the captain-coach, assisted by such alumni as found it convenient from time to time to take a hand in the coaching. It is a cleaner game on the field and in its conduct than it was in earlier days. Indeed, college foot ball in all its phases is so much superior today than in the past as not to war- want comparison. A Lot of Hooey. Talk is heard of the good old days of foot ball, the morality of the past, the high ethics long fallen into desuetude, the sterling principles that character- ized the game in former times. It is all very impressive; but, sad to say, it University of South | is all buncombe. In mood thus skep- tical, the writer arises from perusal of data relating to a row among colleges— the important foot ball playing institu- tions of the country—more than 40 years ago. We find that on one leading univer- sity team was a player who had left that college and occupied a position as instructor in a preparatory school. He returned to his alma mater as a grad- uate student in time for foot ball sev- eral weeks after college opened. An- other entered college as a special stu- dent 10 days before an imj int No- v‘!mlb!r contest against a e-honored rival. Previously one of these men had en- tered another large sister university, had played foot ball and left after the season was over. In still another case an excellent foot ball player, who was playing base ball with a big league team, returned to this college for a post-grad- uate course and incidentally made the team. Another member of this eleven was a prep school coach on salary. A letter from a varsity captain to a prospect: “I will tell you plainly, I will do all I can for you in every way. We ?a.n give you board, tuition and so forth Even Big Three Paid. ‘The captain and a player of another important university eleven went to & great preparatory school, offering any player who would enter their college and play foot ball their expenses while in college. Another crack player on a varsity team was offered a scholarship, pecuni- ary compensation, if he would leave his university and enter the law school of a sister institution. Employment for student athletes was a practice beyond criticism.

And so these were the “good old days,” to which reformers are harking back in their philippics against the modern game, when it was in the hands of the students.
