MICHIGAN ATHLETIC,

Carnegie Foundation Publishes
Report About American
College Athletics.
PAID COACHES DEPLORED
Negligent Attitude Concerning
Education Decried by j
Foundation.
"The fundamental causes of the
defects of American college ath-
letics are two: commercialism, and
a negligent attitude toward the ed-
ucational opportunity for which
the American college exists," says
bulletin 23 of the Carnegie Founda-
tion for the Advancement of Teach-
ing, entitled "American College
"Athletes."
Micligans method of recruiting
athletes was stigmatized as being
part of a subtle, highly organized
system utilizing coordinate numbers
of agents on and off the campus.
The statement follows: "The
varieties of recruiting athlete range
from rare and casual contracts
made or directed by an individual
in the athletic- organization of the
institutions (Chicago, University o
Colorado Cornell. Washington
State College) in which the motive
may be the general welfare of the
institution of personal favor, to an
intensely organized, sometimes
subtle system that may utilize or
coordinate number .of agents oP
or off the campus (Michigan,
Northwestern, Wisconsin, Ogle-
thorpe, University of Southern Cal-
ifornia) ."
Commercialism Heavily Demanded.
The authors of the study are Dr.
Howard J. Savage, staff members
of the Foundation, and Harold W.
Bentley, .John T. McGovern, and
Dean F. Smiley, M.D., secretary of
the American Student Health as-
sociation. The foundation's enquiry
into American college sports, orig-
inally undertaken at the request of
the Association of American Col-
leges, the National Collegiate Ath-
letic association, and other repre-
sentative bodies, has consumed
more than three and a half years,
entailed personal visits to 130
American and Canadian universi-
ties, colleges, and schools, and in-
volved the cooperation of more
than 2,000 persons fully.
Commercialism in sport, say the
authors of the Bulletin, is "the
placing of a higher value upon the
monetary and material returns,
whether direct or indirect, from any
athletic activity than is placed up-
on its returns in recreation, health,
and physical and moral well-being."
Commercialism is one of the two
sources of the evils in American
college athletics of today.
Favors Larger Opportunities.
The report charges that in three
ways both the colleges and their
undergraduates neglect the educa-
tional opportunities that athletics
might afford:
First, present methods of man-
agement, coaching, and plays in
most college sports provide no
"challenge to young and alert
minds," because of the dominance
of older persons, such as professors
and directors of physical education,
paid managers, coaches, and oth-
ers, who now bear almost all of the
responsibility for college athletics.
Second, college athletics have
expanded so rapidly in the past
that few institutions have fully,
considered the problems involved
in local situations and have de-
plnded principally upon - catch-
worde, like "faculty control," or
"athletics for all," and the imita-
tion of practices at sister colleges
without due regard to their effect
upon the imitating institutions.
Third, in the field of morals and
conduct, "vociferous proponents o:
college athletics have claimed for
college athletics far greater bene-

The Occasion for Greatness
When our football team entrains tonight for Urbana, it will
be anything but a squad of 35 licked athletes. There is some-
thing about a battle with Illinois that cancels memories of past
defeats, irons the kinks out of team play, and brings to the
front the full slashing power of Michigan elevens. Last year
it was against Illinois that we found that we could play
football.
There should be optimism in the air tonight-a conviction
that a major football victory is about to be won. There should
not be over-confidence, but a consciousness of great strength
and will to win. There should be enthusiasm, for our hopes
are bright, and loyalty, for Michigan men and women are loyal.
Above all there should be a huge crowd to show the team that
victory means more to the student body than just a few dollars
bet this way or that.
When the whistle blows Saturday Michigan's team will be
underdogs, with title hopes, on a foreign field, and before a
hostile crowd. Yet we cannot feel any cause for discourage-
ment. They are game, they are good, and they have behind
them a tradition of smashing through to victory from behind
greater obstacles than these. They have proved in other years
that in the role of giant killers they are supreme.
What the student body can do is little enough, but before
the game is over it may mean a lot. The students can instill
that last measure of punch, that final urge to conquer which
may be the margin of victory. They can demand victory so

ILLEGAL
WRITER TELLS OF
PROHIBITION PLAN
Interviewing an interviewer is an
easy proposition. An interviewer
like William G. Shepherd, of
Collier's staff, who spoke in Hill
auditorium last night has asked so
many questions while in quest of
magazines material that he anti-
cipates-and his flow of informa-
tion begins at the drop of a hat.
Last night a Daily reporter dropped
his hat as he introduced himself
and Mr. Shepherd began to talk.
"If you're going to ask me how
the dry local option I mentioned in
my lecture can be accomplished in
each community," he said, "Ill tell
you. There will have to be local
revolutions. I mean that the local
government, after it has satisfied
itself that Federal enforcement will
not work in any given locality,
will get up in arms and throw the
Federal officers out of town. The
!wet and dry question will then be
in localized hands and local meas-
ures will be used.
