College Sports Headed Toward
Ruin, Says Penn Director
Philadelphia, Jan. 31. College
sports are headed toward ruin
through too keen competition for
supremacy, R. Tait McKenzic, pro
fessor of sculpture and physical
director of the University of Penn
sylvania, declared at an address to
day. -
"Athletic activity is the best
substitute for war, and every
verile nation must have one or the
other," he said, "but the en
croachments of commercialidation
have endangered intercollegiate
athletics. At this time over-enthusiastic
alumni of institution
after institution are competing for
the services of coaches to turn out
winning teams at salaries that sur
pass the salaty of the - college
president: This is especially true
in the west.
"There are many hands trying
to wring the neck of the goose
that laid the foldcn egg, and if
the undoubted benefits to the col
lege are to be saved ; from
strangulation by , commercialism,
it can only be by keeping in mind
three things:
"First, employment of . the great
income of these spectacles for
equipment of fields and gym
nasiums for the students and for
the giving of skilled instruction
and the necessary medical super
vision of these great education
agencies. v '
"Second, by linking these games
and contests more closely with
our social life and making it a
part of it in a way which cannot
be done so long as the athlete is .
considered as a man apart from
his fellows.
- "Third, by studying your sports
with the eye of the artist."
