Football Scored
as 'Big Business'
by School Paper
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 9.-(/P)-Re-
bellion against the big business and
showmanship trend in football has
flared up among college students of
the midwest.
Added to the perennial scalp
hunting for coaches of losing teams,
the agitation at this season's close
strikes at both winner and losers
and is directed at the managemeht
of the sport in general.
At the University of Nebraska,
where the 1931 Big Six tit1 resides,
the student newspaper, The Daily
Nebraskan declared editorially "The
football team has become nothing
except an advertising t agency for
the University." The editorial pleads
for reform of inter-collegiate ath-
letics, principally football.
Concern over student apathy to-
ward spectatorship and preference
for sports in which they may com-
Pete themselves was manifest at the
Big Six conference's annual meet-
ing here this week, at which signifi-
cantly, athletic budgets, were cut to
the bone to meet an average reduc-
tion in football gate receipts last
season.
Searching for reasons other than
the economic condition for the re-
duced revenues, the directors al-
most unanimously agreed that stu-
dent interest had waned and that
the "hysteria" of the prosperity
decade in athletics was passing.
A petition circulated at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma seeks the ous-
ter of Athletic Director Bennie
Owen and Adrian Lindsay, head]
football coach, after a disastrous
Sooner gridiron campaign.
Today Oklahoma football players
turned up with a petition worded
similarly but demanding removal
of Debate Coach Walter Emery and
Josh Lee, head of the public speak-
ing department, because they have
not produced winners.
LOWER J- PPIC
Tickets to Cost Seven Dollars
Instead of Ten as in
Previous Years.
In spite of protests from Hugh
Baker, '33E, chairman of the com-
mittee, the price of tickets for the
J-Hop will be reduced to $7 by a
ruling made last night by the Stu-
dent Council. The council decided
that more proceeds would be gain-
ed by this lower price because more
tickets would be bought.
f In a statement to The Daily last
night Baker said that he doubted
whether any more tickets could be
sold at the lower price. In former
years, the cost of a ticket to this
affair has always been $10.
Compulsory class d u e s, which
would place a tax on every ballot
for class and all campus elections,
discussed at the last meeting of
the council, was virtually defeated
when the matter was decided to
be tabled.
The price for tickets for the Frosh
Frolic was still a matter of discus-
sion after the proposed budget for
this affair was submitted to the
council by William Shepard, fresh-
man president. It 'was decided to
wait until it could be seen how the
Sophomore Prom committee came
out financially before any price
was set.
It was also decided at the Coun-
cil meeting that another smoker
for the freshmen would be held at

8:15 o'clock, Wednesday, Jan. 13.
James North, '32, was appointed
by president Edward J. McCormick,
'32, to head a committee in charge
of the reception of visiting teams
and other University visitors..
