Professionalism
Must Be Barred if
Sports Succeed
In view of the fact that the Ne
braska baseball team for the coming
year will suffer from the loss of at
least two men who are Ineligible on
account of parttclnatlng In profes
sional games, the following story re
printed from the student publication
at Denver University is especially in
teresting to Nebraska students:
The government of college sports
has been a great question since ath
letics have become so popular. Col
lege athletes, It is generally con
ceded, should come under the head
of amateurs, but it is now becoming
known that most college athletes
must be classed under the profes
sional head, which is a great detri
ment to, fjports, and also athletes
themselves.
In the last issue of the "Strength"
magazine, Walter Camp, who picks
ail-American teams and makes rules
which govern sports in every lino,
has written an Interestfhg article on
the government of college sports.
There is a season every year when,

In the spring, college athletics re
ceive their annual overhauling. The
National Collegiate association hold
its annual meeting, and the grcal
conferenco leaders west and south
have their conventions. Some of tha
good effects continue some, unfor
tunately, are lost sight of when ac
tual play begins. The new Southern
Intercollegiate conference, at its
meeting here this year, put this para
graph in its proposed constitution:
Tries to Better Sports
"It is the purpose and function of
this conference to promote interco.
legible athletics in every form, t?
keep them in proper bounds by mak
ing them incidental and not the prin
cipal feature of the intercollegiate
and university lifo, and to regulate
them by wise and prudent measures
in order that they may Improve the
physical condition, strengthen the
moral fiber of the students and form
a constituent part of that education
for which universities and colleges
were established and are main
tained." This is the new attitude. The as
sociation that can make a boy of
eighteen love study better than sport
has yet to come into existence. We
must face things as they are.
Just after the war, "Daniel," in
the New York Sun, December 13,
1918, wrote as follows:
"It looks very much as if the col
leges will have to follow the advice
of Dr. Angell of Chicago, and resume
sport slowly, in the meantime cut
ting out the bad features. This means
that every college will have to be the
m.ister o its own athletic destinies.
Training tables will go, and the sea
sonal professional coach will go,
too. The temporary coach truly is a
serious evil and must be displaced
by the year-round man who combines
the proper moral, technical and other
qualities to make him a fit teacher
for young men. The colleges - will
make this versatile coach a member
of the teaching rtaff, paid out of the
college funds. In this respect Co
lumbia must be given credit for hav
ing shown the way to other big insti
tutions." Rules Not Enforced
It appears we are to have a revival
oi the so-called "Summer Ball" ques
tion which has perennially stirred
the athletic committees of the col
leges for over a decade. Until the
mo tfer "takes on more definite shape
it is futile to discuss what rules
could be i.ucpted that would permit
of an amateur ploying for money and
k ill lenminirc an amateur. But
(hero is one point brought out quite
clearly, and that is that the athletic
nnmmiitpes will have to answer
charges that are being so freely made
to the effect that they are making
no effort to enforce their present
rules.
Hugh S. Fullerton, the baseball
scribe, says: "Every college man
knows, or should know, that four
fifths of the college baseball players
aro professionals under any strict in
terpretation of the amateur rules.
The director who desires this fact
either is innocent to the point of im
becility or worse than the players.
In fact, It forms by all odds the
strongest argument in the case
against the college ball player for
permitting him to augment his ex
chequer openly by playing for money.
In other words ,the charge Is that

Athletic Board Blamed
It seems Impossible that men of
the standing of the chairmen of our
nthletlo committees at our institu
tions of learning are guilty of such
luxlty as is described. There have
been and always will be cases that
may escape any ordinary inquiry and
hence lay open to suspicion the good
faith of the best men; but when the
charge Is that men are not even
asked by the athletic committee to
sign the usual papers or to make a
statement that they have not played
for money, that charge grows very
grave and reflects upon the bona
fides of the entire body of alumni
of the university, and should be
promptly and squarely met before
any consideration of future rules or
regulations. If the existing rules arc
Ignored or allowed to stand as dead
letters, v'th no effort nt all to even
ask their enforcement, what mn?t be

fessors? Moreover, If present rules
are not even put before the students,
what assurance is there that any new
rules would share a better fate; and
why should there be any more hypo
critical placing of them upon the
statute books of a university?
