* OLAIREMONT, 8;: WASHINGTON GROVE. 1. PRO GAME IS SEEN F AS A REAL THREAT Recruiting and Subsidizing| Declared Abating, but Evils Still Exist. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, June 15 —r'l"he\ Carnegie Foundation for the ‘advancement of teach- ing finds intercollegiate; athletics still suffering from vari- ous ailments, but in a much better| state of health than they were| two years ago. , . “Bulletin 26,” a 58-page report written | i by Howard J. Savage, John T. Mc- Govern and Harold W. Bentley, says that a ccnsiderable advance h:s been made in the effort to reduce recruiting and subsidizing of college athletes, but that much remeains to be done. “The day may never come when our college sport will be completely freed from thase abuses,” the report says, “but a number of influences for im- provement are at work.” Bulletin 26 supplements Bullet'n 23, whose 383 pages of charges startled the | college world in 1929. g Foot Ball “Suffering.” The report warns that college foot ball, suffering a bit financially because of world-wide business depressicn, also is threatened by two other force: first, the “caprice of the public,” and rofession2l foot ball. “Coliege foct ball,” the reports as- serts, declining in popularity with the sporting public in general. Only games played by the most skillful teams are adjudged worth the high admission charges. ready numbers of foot ball enthu- siats prefer the economical skill, the mature precision, the finesse and art cf the professional game to the compara- tive bungling college match.” Interest also has decreased among undergraduates, the report says. “Students no longer line the daily | practice fleld to encourage the squad; they prefer ihemselves to play rather than look on. * * * Almost every| current indication is to the effect that the undergraduate is tiring of big-time athletics.” ‘The report devotes considerable space to a review of the administrative changes that have been made in indi- vidual colleges and universities in the handling of intercollegiate athletics. 1 Some excerpts from the report fol- low : “The notion that winning athletic teams bring colleges increased attend- ance, contributions for endowment and for academic purposes, or higher repu- tation among those whose good opinion is worth having, is erroneous.” “The conspiracy of silence resbecting recruiting and subsidizing has been broken. Newspapers and other publica- tions refer openly to these practices, and attempts to minimize them on the part of individual cynics of the press are negligible.” “Subsidizing by by alumni, however small in volume, is probably the cause of more' rumors and ill-feeling in Amer- ican college sport today than any other single practice.” “It does not appear that the solici- tation of testimonials from college ath- letes has mnlerlally abated.” “The Winter of 1930-31 witnessed much disorder and bad_sportsmanship at basket ball games that were not preceded by attempts to emphasize good manners among spectators.” Beats Chandler in California.

SPECIAL—a Whis Polishing By WALTER R. McCALL! ITH the Spring invitation golf tournament season to come to an end this week with the Manor Club event, which opens tomorrow, quite & group of the better golfers of the National Capital are looking forward to bigger and bet- ter things early in September. Not all of them can accomplish the task they are setting for themselves, but a group of 20 or :nore ure planning to go down to Richmond on July 7 to play over the course of the Hermitage Country Club in the sectional qualifying rounds for the national amateur champlonship. ‘The system of getting in the amateur championship is different this year. Imulfl of chmfln' the entrants on t tournament records and their nown ability, the United States Golf Association has the buck square- ly up to the players themselves, and ha! thrown the amateur ehnm&louhlp pen to every one who can quall sectioml qualification rounds wul be played on July 28 in a score of citles throughout the country and most of the District players will go to Richmond for the 36-hole medal play test. The qualification round will be con- ducted by Fred J. D. Mackay, secretary of the Virginia State Golf Association. Now the catch in this amateur cham- plonship qualification business is this: The United States Golf Association probably will award one quaiification place to about each 8 competitors, which means if there are 50 or more entrants in the qualification tryouts at Hermitage, there wil 6 or more places, 1t logically follows that if a group of 20 or more enter from Wash- ington, together with those who will enter from Virginia and Maryland, there will be quite a few places cpen. Entries for the championship close with the United States Golf M- soclation, at 110 mv. Forty-second street, at 6 o'clock July Among those who vm gttempt ur qualify are M. Parker Nolln Frank K. fl John C. Shorey, R. T. Hlmll M. B Stevinson, Everett Eynon R. McCallum, Harry G. Pitt, Billy’ Ho'ell and Tommy Bones. 'HE Manor Club tournament, which opens tomorrow, will bring to an end the invitation tournament sea- son about the CaFl!-ll until next Fall. The tournament will be the sixth strictly local affair to have been held since late in April, and, in addition, there have | been two other tourneys in which many | Washington players have competed. The tournament flelds have been the largest in the history of golf about the Capital Two women's tournaments were being played tcday. Over at the Woodmont Country Club golfers of the Women's District Golf Association were compet- ing in a tourney for the Straus Cup, put in competition by a member of the Woodmont Country Club, while at Rock Creek Park a large group of fair play- ers played in & qualifying round to| determine the women’s municipal 1inks | championship of the city. In addition a few fair golfers from Washington THE LISTENING POST WALTER TRUMBULL BY HORSEMAN of wide experi- ence had some interesting com- ment on the running of the race for the Belmont Stakes in New York on Saturday. What he says s not inspired by any disappointment over the result, because he bet on ‘Twenty Grand, the big red horse which won as it pleased. ‘This man says that he does not know whether or not McAtee was riding to orders, but thinks in any event, he did not get as®much out of his mount as he might. He calls attention to the fact that U'|¢ first three-quarters mruninl,u , which he says is slow time. According to his ideas, Jamestown is perhaps the greatest horse in training at a mile, yet at a mile Jamestown was hopelessly beaten. He declares that McAtee had Jamestown under such re- | straipt that he was fairly choking him in the early part of the race and thinks that he should have permitted the horse to run more freely and take a vantage of the fact that Twenty Grand is a slow starter. He says that if Jamestown had been permitted to run and open up more of a gap it might have taken some- thing out of Twenty Grand to make up the distance; but that, as it was, James- town ran Twenty Grand's race. probably would have won, but thinks r.?e race might have been decidedly closer. The fact remains that Twenty Grand is now a horse of proven greatness. & horse which may be classed with Colin, Sysonby, Man o' War, Flying Fox and all the best of the past. Twenty Grand has the speed, the stamina, and the heart of a champion. OOK in the lost column and you will see that the Athletics are still out in front by a very comfortable margin. n managers of other clubs talk about the pitchers of the Mackmen being unable to hold the pace, the wish may be the father to the thought. Once a while one of these pitchers may have a bad day, but on the whole they still appear to have 2, | considerable stuff remaining. Before the season opened it seems probable that the first division clubs in the American League would be Phila- delphia, Washington, New York and Cleveland, and it still looks as if the chances of their finishing in that order are excellent.
