5 | i j Why Professionalism Is Spread- ing in College Football in All Sections of the Country. OOTBALL is fast becoming an all-season pastime. Months af- ter the usual season, games are replayed in the form of wild profes- sional charges made by various insti- tutions. We now learn that college teams supposedly amateur were at jeast semi-professional and that “tramp” athletes with marked ability were very welcome at many seats of higher learning. The recent blow-up in the Middle West simply awoke a sleeping dog. [DEMPSEY ARRIVES IN TOWN LOCKING READY 10 FIGHT No Opponents in Sight, So Champion Will Have to Continue as an Actor. Jack Dempsey, heayywelght champion of the world, arrived here yesterday imorning and was welcomed by his man- ager, Jack Kearns; his “stable mate,” Joe Benjamin; his honorary bodyguard, Senator “Wild Bil” Lyons; several hun- dred fans and a sturdy young blizzard, “I'm feeling fine,” commented the world's greatest boxer, aa he made a playful cuff at Benjamin, “and Lordy, 1 do hope I get something to do. This idle life is making @ fat man outa me. ‘Why, would you believe it, I weigh two hundred points right now on the hoot, and only the fact that I ‘do my stuff \Gaily in the way of light exercise keeps me out of the dime museum class,"” Asked if he had any particular match in view, Dempsey laughed and with a jerk of the head in the direction of Kearns, replied: “See the boss about that. I'm here in answer to his summons.

RECRUITING SYSTEM OF SPORTS IN COLLEGES IS ALL WRONG ILE STROLLING be srreeT oA By Thornton Fisher LOCAL POLICEMAN PROVES HE'S AREAL ~— SPRINT CHAMPION Bob McAllister Runs Extra Yard in “Casey Hundred” Meet in 10 1-5s. The newly crowned metropolitan sprint champion, Bob McAllister, whe is also a member of the New York Police Department, demonstrated be- fore @ large assembly that was watch- ing the Knights of Columbus games at the 22d Regiment Armory last night that he was a real champion and that his recent victory over Bernie Wefers ir. wes well earned. In the 100-yard open handicap, McAllister, having ‘been penalized a yard, making the dis- tance 101 yards for him, was timed in 10 1-5s., remarkably fast time consid- ering the extra distance he had to run, and won an easy victory over the large fleld that was pitted against him. Nearly 150 sprinters toed the mark for the event. McAllister won the first heat after a slow start from J. Burgess of the West Side Y. M. C. A., who had an allowance of three yards, but actu- ally an advantage of four yards over McAllister. | Loud and prolonged cheers resounded bi Most of football's present trouble|me here.

It was only a question of time when all this unfairness would be exposed. The reform move- ment is starting first ‘m the wheat belt. Professionalism is just as rampant in other sections as in the Middle West.
