President Robert M. Hutchins of
Chicago U. announced that the
university was getting along quite
well without intercollegiate foot
ball. But the game continues to
thrive in nearly every other uni
versity and most of the smaller
colleges. Furthermore, the sport
as it exists today has the approval
of nearly nine out of every ten col

collegians would substitute the big
time games with an intramural
program, it is found in a study
conducted by Student Opinion Sur

weekly poll of college thought
sponsored by 150 undergraduate
newspapers including the Daily
