Paid College Athletes.
Dr. Homer E. Work, president of
West Virginia Wesleyan, seemed
very much shocked and slightly in-
dignant when he learned that the
members of the football team repre-
senting the university were paid. Let
be. known that these boys were not
given a wage but were the recipients
of a scholarship that included in its
terms room and board. Where the
professor has been the last 10 years
is hard to imagine, because this col-
umn has been aware of the paid col-
lege athlete. In our personal ac-
quaintance we number at least 10
Jewish boys who made their way
through college because of their ath-
letic ability, In such a system we see
no crime. After all, the boys more
than repay their respective institu-
tions. It is no secret that the first
thing a college does when it is mak-
ing a bid for recognition is to get to-
gether a good football team. Why
not reward the boys who make such
a thing possible?
A flat sum of money is not given
to the average college athlete for his
services. He is given free tuition
and a job. If the college does not
sanction conduct of this kind, rich
alumni will always be found ready to
help a deserving football player
through college. One of our greatest
football stars of the last few seasons
was supported through the first few
years of college by a wealthy gradu-
ate. Wherein lies the harm? A boy
who is willing to risk his neck and
life is entitled to some consideration.
Find us the college that will take
care of the athlete who has been crip-
pled for life.
The simon-pure athlete is a myth.
It is possible for an athlete to re-
main an amateur in the full sense of
its meaning only until he gets into
the expert class. As soon as this
happens its. is impossible, unless the
man Is unusually wealthy. It is nec-
essary for the athlete to give up
everything but the sport in which he
is participating. Wealth and athletic
prowess do not follow In close order,
so that it often happens that the ma-
jor portion of the star performers
are not financially independent. To
overcome their inability to "make
the grade," clubs pay expenses and to
throw in a little pocket change is not
considered bad form. As long as an-
letics pay and bring money to the col-
lege associations and clubs that pros
mote them, the athlete, if he wants
it or needs it, will receive financial
aid.

tennis started it all. There now
seems to he an orgy of "pickin' lon."
The latest stunt in this expert's pas.
time is picking fighters on a point
basis. The bantamweight lighters
were recently chosen by a committee
of tight experts, promoters and
sportsmen. Leading the list is
Charlie (Phil) Rosenberg, who con-
tinues to hold the title regardless of
the action of all the boxing commis-
Fiona in the country. Number six on
the list is Abe Goldstein, who is
closely followed by Johnny Green.
Honorable mention was given to
Jackie Cohen and Al Goldberg. A
pretty good representation for the
Jewish boys.

our better intentions
which were aimed at purposely neg-
lecting preparatory school athletics,
we find it necessary to comply with
the request of Sam Samuels, athletic
director of the National Farm School
and a star hack of the Massachusetts
Agricultural School. Mr. Samuels is
asking the world and prep schools in
parteiular for games to fill the foot-
ball schedule for next year. A warn-
ing is sent out advising future op-
ponents that the National Farm
School team scored more points- last
season than any other school in Penn
sylvania, and that the team for 1927
is to be made up of veterans. Inter-
sectional games, although not desired,
will be considered.
It seems us though the school
wants to raise a fund and among
other things it was thought that the
best way to do so was to get a good
football team and win sonic games,
which, of course, brings the public-
ity. This column thinks the premise
is correct and we sincerely hope the
money is raised.
As our readers know, the National
Farm School is a privately endowed
agricultural school. The students are
n11 Jewish boys and come from hte
cities. Tuition, room and board are
free. The course is for three years
and consists of a training in scien-
tific and practical farming.
