Big Business
Intercollegiate football has been
taken away from college men and
the spirit of the game kidnapped
from the players as a sacrifice to
victory and box office success, Or.
William S. Carlson, president of
the University of Delaware told
the Middle Atlantic States Col

Both football and the colleges
themselves, with endowments,
assets and budgets in the billions

Ted Payseur, Northwestern's
director of athletics and the golf
secretary of the N.C.A.A., led
the move to place the meet at
Iowa State. The reputation of
the college for handling such
large events was a determining
factor in Paysfur's choice. Most

London games. "

lieve that it is incumbent upon us
to maintain certain standards that
other merchants of entertainment
don't have," said Carlson.

It Troubles Trouble
Tins newly developed electronic tester looks for
trouble . . . discovers trouble before it becomes
serious. With it, ever7 telephone line in a Central
Office can be checked and tested at the rate of
5,000 per hour. Breaks and weaknesses in wire in
sulation can be spotted miles away and the trouble
eliminated before it interferes with telephone
service.
In the telephone business the search never ends
for new equipment and new methods that will help
make good service even better and keep it low in
cost. That's why America enjoys the finest tele
phone serv ice in the world.
