can't afford to run In direct com

This Is due." Weir says, lo he ,
greair Interest In football in the
east than In th miaai fi
even the far west. Troof or thin."
he went on to explain, "can be
mad by comparing the price of
tkkets for college games in me
different rrt of ,n country.
Tiica.a In the middle west sell foi
from two to three dollars while In
the east It Is not only hard to get
ticket but the price range from
four to five dollar. The price for
the "pro' game will average about
two dollar.
Predicts Future
If 'pro football had the flnan-
cial
bcklng of baseball," he pre
diets, "It would go forward by
leans and bound. By doine till.
the stadiums and equipment could
be used for a longer season and
the prospects are that. In ft couple
of years this will come about."
In answer to the question. "How
duea the style of play In the pro
fessional game differ from that of
th college game." Weir stated.
"Th 'pro' game I very similar lo
the college gam because the sys
tems used are taken from Ihe lead
ing college coaches of the country.
However there are not as many
spectacular long run or freak
playa as one sees in the college
game.
Survival of Fittest
"A long run," continued the for
mer Husker tackle, "is due to ihe
failure or weakness of some de
fensive player. A 'pro' player I
picked for his specific abilities and
unless he Is able to deliver the
goods It's an easy matter to go
nut and ret -one that can.
"A 'pro' team Is composed of
eleven star players while a college
team Is lucky ir they have five or
six irood men on their team at
one time."
By this time the conversation
shlfed back to the college game
and Weir was asited for his frank
opinion on the subject or profes
sionalism from the pl;yets' stand
point. "I belleTe the game can be
justified from a financial point of
view," he answered. "Many col
leg football players go into debt
to rt college educations.
Attain Degress
"Many othera work part time and
thla tojrethei' with their athletics
and other activities does not per
mit them to get their degrees in the
four yeara that they spend at col
lege. By playing 'pro' football the
athlete can pay off hia college debt
quickly and at tbe same time come
back to school to compleie his edu
catluu." While on thla eubject he waa
asked which game he preferred to
play, the professional game or the
college game. His face brightened
and a broad smile spread over his
face. "The 'pro' game can never
begin to take tbe place of I be col
lege game," he answered. "The
university adds color to the game
along with the traditions of the
school. ,
"Not only that, but the contacts
with atntentax friends and other
players la something that college
twatball alone can give. The 'pro'
(Mie haa a colder atmosphere. The
spectator are always ready to
rase 'pro's' mistake and if a

from Ihe same chemicals original- :
