One sport writer from Denver,
Colorado, who iuv tho Nobraska
Notro Damo football game hero on
Thanksgiving Hay Kays in a rather
interesting article in the Rorkv
Mountain News that tho game here
was "colorless" and compares it
with some of the unities seen around
Denver.
He compliments the general puhlic
in and around Lincoln for their turn
out and at tho snme time scores the
student body for its "lack of pep."
Tho article follows:
"What is the difference between
tho brand of football played in the
East or the Middle West and that
dished out up in the Rocky Mountain
conference?
"Why can a city of 70,000 humans
....V T : i. v. 1
ou.ii on i.mcnm, rvenr., turn out a
irowd of BO.OOO for a football panic,
while Denver with ,"00,000 popula
tion attracts only 11,000 fans to the
seasons football classic,
"These questions and mnny more
have been asked me since my return
from Lincoln, where I saw Nebraska
jU. and Notre Dame clash in their an
Jnual Turkey Day grid battle. I am
.frank to say that I cannot answer
I either satisfactorily, but am willing
to give my views for what they are
worth.
"Answering the first 'question, I
would say that the difference be
tween the football displaysH by Notre
Dame and Nebraska and that of the
best teams in this region is one that
only an expert can discern. So far
as tho ordinary layman is concerned
the frame at Lincoln last Thursday
was not different than that played
between Colorado U. and the Aggies
at Fort Collins two weeks ago. In
fact, I pot much more kick out of
the local contest than I did out of
the big leapue fray. There was a
satisfaction in seeing F.d Weir, all
conference tackle, do his stuff, it was
interestinp to watch "Choppy"
I Rhodes stage one of his famous "cut
,back" runs, and one could not help
j thrill at seeinp the the nationally
;known Knute Rockne and his machine
I in action; but after all, the Lincoln
spectacle presented nothing but twen-,ty-two
men i nnction.
"Perhaps Nebraska ( and Notre
Dame pot their plays away a trifle
more rapidly, undoubtedly there was
a precision that the Colorado-Appie
pnme lacked, the charpinp of the line
men was quicker and more fierce,
the ball toters were some speedier,
but where is the ordinary spectator
who can tell tho difference between

Many Misplays in Game
Notwithstanding -heir reputations
Nebraska and Notre Dame made the
same misplays that are common to
teams in this repion. They fumbled,
they threw passes into the hands of
opposinp players, they kicked poorly
at times, pass receivers dropped the ;
ball after havinrr their hands on it
and tacklors missed their man fre- zzz
Quentlv. In fact, the so-called bip
leapue pamc leaguers played football ;
!just the same as it is played here. j
i "The Cornhuskers use the huddle j
'system, as do seine elevens in Colo- j;
rado; Notre Dame employs the sig
nal cnllinp methodr, and this, too, can
be seen here. Both teams use a
shift which is not new to football,
la'tho the Rockne shift is different
Ifrom most others.
I "All this is from the standpoint of
the layman. As seen through the
trained eye of the coach, however,
the affair looked different. Tom
McNamara, Regis mentor, and Ray
Courtwripht, School of Mines tutor,
saw lots of thinps which I, along with
about 40,000 others, did not pet.
According to these coaches, either
Nebraska or Notre Dame team is
about forty points better than any
thing in the mountain recion.
Experts See Difference
"The way the men handled the ball
the way they ran, the positions they
took on the field, the manner in
which they charped or hit the line,
and every other thing about the play
ers stamped them bip leaguers, ac
cording to the judgment of these ex
perts. "The pladintorsi at Lincoln dis
played a football sonso that comes
from long and careful coaching,
combined with natural ability. This
is the result, the coaches sav, of bet
ter training in high school and it Is
possible for the bigger teams of the
Kast and Middle West to get eleven
smarter football players than is pos
sible to collect at one school in the
Rocky Mountain repion because they
have a bigger field to chose from.
"When Notre Dame trotted on the
field at Lincoln last Thursday the)
squad looked like the American ex
peditionary forces advancing on the
Gorman army. Roi kne's sqund cov
ered he whole gridiron. Then a
few moments later when tho Crimson
and Cream clnd warriors appeared,
and one team after another six or
seven in all dashed out and lined
up for signal practice the greenhorn
began to wonder how all the players
could he crowded into tho nlreadv
packed arena.
Law of Average!
"And naturally there is the answer.
The natural law of averages will
produce a better first string of eleven 1
men out of a squad of 100 than can
be developed out of a squad of thirty
or forty.
"That is why football in the larger
institutions in faster than in Color- i
ado colleges, but I still insist that the
layman cannot discover the differ
ence. "A blind man, however, could dis
tinpuish the variance in the size of
the crowds attracted to the games.
Some contend that this is due to the
schools in the East being older and
having a larger alumni. Others ac
count for the big throng at Lincoln
by the fact that the teams which
competed there have national reputa
tions. Again it is cited that Lincoln
is the center of a greater population
than Denver, althouph only one
fourth the size of this city.
Due to Public Interest
"I contend that it is due to public
interest. The size of a school's al
umni has a certain bearinp, and the
reputation of the competing teams
is not to bo ipnored, but it is from
the public at larpe that great crowds
are drawn, and unless the people as
a wohle can be educated to lige foot
ball the new stadium will never be
taxed to capacity.
"Tho education of the public has
been delayed in Denver and the
Rocky Mountain region through the
lack of suitable quarters to accommo
date a crowd. This want has been
supplied now by a new magnificent
Denver University stadium, and con
stant impror jment in the public's in
terest in football will be noted.

WW Price Glory?
(California Grir.v.ly)
If the Tournament of Roses offi
cials continue to receive polite re
fusals from colleges nil over the
Kast and West in response to play
in the Rose Bowl on New Years'
Day, there seems to be a very good
chance that commercialized and pro
fessionalized athletics will have an
opening in that field. For several
years the New Year's game has been
a classic of amateur collegiate foot
ball. This year there seems to be
no university willing to maintain the
tradition.
Commercialized football is on the
increase; with men of tho calibre of
Cirnnco tninino it rnnk-u it !e nrll.
w; .u ;i ,!...... campus the
ii-tviiuiK Viiv I'l'illb MIIVII It llll'ttU'Iin I , ,.
tho amateur game for popularity.
Amateur athletics are not primarily
money-making enterprises; but the
intercollegiate programs do demand a
lot of money, and their popularity
thus far, especially that of football,
has enabled universities to operate
their football schedules at a profit,
which helps to carry other athletic
activities. It is interesting to note
that the very sports which have to be
subsidized in colleges are the ones
which have become professionalized.
Raseball no longer draws the large
crowds, when the contest is between
college teams. Football is headed
straight for the same condition.
It is a safe prediction that, unless
the universities of the country, where
football is played for love of the
game and for the sake of tradition
and ancient rivalries, combine to
counteract the trend of commercial
ism, the time in not far distant when
schedules involving even moderate
journies will be financial impracti
cable. The New Year's game, if it
is refused by college elevens, will be
come the prey of professional organi
zations which are springing up. It
may be that this year is the last one
for amateur football at Rose Bowl.
It will be, almost certainly, unless two
representative teams of the East and
West can be found who will consent
to play, if not for their own glory,
then for the sake of maintaininp, as
lonp as possible, the amateur status
of football.
enough for the men to get underneath
and set a jnckscrew to take the place
of tho foundation that had crumb
led away.
Luckily the men were in a good
humor, and obeyed willingly the or
ders of Mr. RnWrt. They crawled
u:iiU r the slowly-falling mass of brick
work, and obeying instruction to the
letter, successfully set the jack
screws so that tho downward motion
of the wall was checked.
The matter was never given any
publicity, because it was during the
time when other cities wore making
a strong campaign to take the Uni
versity away from Lincoln. The race
was between Grand Island, Omaha,
and Nebraska City. If the story had
lenked out about the precarious
condition of the only building on the
University would in all
probability have been moved to one
of tho three cities above-mentioned.
