( THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1928, Dr. Butler, Columbia Head Praises Football | Leading Universities Are Restraining Over-Zealous, Alumni; Jones and Rockne Are Types of High: Class Coaches for College Elevens BY HENRY L. FARRELL | EW YORK, Dee, —It was fo be expected at the end | of the football son that the usual dolorous wail | would be sounded and the need would be pointed out of do- | ing something to “save football.” | It was hoped that the alarm would, be sounded only from | certain quarters that have shouted “Danger” in the past. Blasts from those quarters were to be expected. And they | came, | As long as there was no national cry for the need of | changes to save football, the game could be considered in rather good condition, but it was the more pleasing and all the more convincing that the game is sound when such | scholars as Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Co- | lumbia, lend enthusiastic words in support of the game. Dr, Butler said, in addressing the Columbia ’Varsity “C” club, that he felt the award of a “letter” for excellency at | athletics to be as meritorious and as praiseworthy as the award of diplomas for academic work. lie said also he was of the opinion that football and athletics are an in tegral part of the univeralty. Officials of Pennsylvania university insisted that the present situation calls only for a continuation of faculty supervision and the policy of manding high scholastic standing among the athletes that make ‘varsity teama, “f there are no immediate cases to consider it seems that it f mist who worrles about what would happen, ‘if’ such-and-such ‘ ame about. It iy impousible for the lawmakers of the game to legislate against a vio~ lation of the moral code that may happen in the future, or may be happen- ing now If football ever gets in trouble it will be because of violations of honor and can be blamed directly upon the coach or the athletic officials at the university where it happens. .
