SETH B. NICHOLSON ASTRONOMER COMES FDR CONVOCATION THOMPSON PROTESTS ATTACKS ON FOOTBALL Dean Writing for Athletic ; Journal Condemns Pres ' ent 'Bullyragging.' From The Lincoln Journal. A protest against "bullyragging football" has been lodged by Dean T. J . Thompson of the University of Nebraska. Writing la the Athletic Journal, a publication for sports directors, he condemned "the largely unwar ranted attacks made annually up on the fine idealism of the youth that take part in the game, the school authorities that administer the game, and the game itself. Some of these attacks seem to me to savor of bullyragging." Dr. Thompson is dean of student affairs, a member of the atletic control board, faculty representa tive to the Big Six conference, and a member of the athletic commit tee of the North General associa . tion. Cases of commercialism, he asserted, have been largely ex aggerated, and he cited the case of a poor youth who turned down the offer of $1,000 a year to play football at a certain Institution for the fun of it at another. "The history of this case is typi cal of many others that could be cited, he said, "and I believe it indicates the spirit that predomi nates among the vast majority of undergraduate players."' He questioned whether football fatalities under even improving rules would be disproportionate compared with hunting accidents. Y. W. C. A.
