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. Fighting. football all - American licking 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.

WORKS OF JACOB REISS ON DISPLAY AT CENTER National Farm School. 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.

By the time this paragraph reaches your eyes the national indoor singles junior and boys tennis championship will have been decided. Since the football season closed, this column has felt the need of prognosticating and the tennis tournament gives us our chance. We are picking two Jewish boys to reach the final round, Eddie Jacobs and Julius Seligson. Both lads are in the junior event and have come through to the fourth round without meeting any serious opposition. Seligson won the tourna- ment list year and was the only Jew- ish athlete to win or hold a tennis title in the last year.
