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.

definite was decided pending th
receipt of manuscripts for the
show.
"Each manuscript submitted
will be judged solely on its worth
and entertainment possibilities."
Thompson declared. "After the
play has been selected, the Klub
will" decide whether it is best suited
to an all-male cast of a mixed
cast."
Anyone connected with the uni
