Co., Gentlemen: A says a Yale student does not have a chance to play on the cole lege football team unless he be- longs to a wealthy family. B says it's not always the case. Will you please tell us in the Herald who is right and name a few poor men it | any who ever played on the team. £ Inquisitive. | Tt takes some money to send a| boy through college, unless he| works his own way through, there. | fore it {8 falr to assumfe that the| parents of Yale football players| have some means, though they need not be considered wealthy. ‘It the student has to work his way | through college he seldom has time | for foothall practice, consequently | one who malkes the team is usually | from a family who can afford to pay his bllls while he is tuking the | course. Coaches probably never knew nor care how much money the par- ents of the players have. All they are concerned with is the quallty of the human material. The names of several players whose parents were not wealthy (though “wealth"” might be construed differently by different individuals) occur to us. It would be manifestly unfair to mention any of them in this con- nection, But A is wrong. Any Yale stu- dent has a chance for the team — providing he 1s good enough and has spunk enough to play in fast foothall company. If he is forced, through lack of funds, to work while he is not studying or attend- ing classes he has the chancy just the same, but seldom thie oppor- tunity. (Ed.)
