STOVE

TWO of the most talked of indi-
viduals during the interlude be-
tween football seasons will not be
undergraduates at Southern Metho-
dist, Minnesota or .Stanford, or grid
coaches whose teams have had ex-
ceptional records, for better or worse.
Rather they will be two staid faculty
men, Dr. Owen of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and Profes-
sor Badger of New York University.
For those two pedagogues have
given voice to a growing undertone
of skepticism --whether college foot-
ball can go on in its present stride
without there coming a final reckon-
ing of the trend toward commercial-
ism and professionalism among the
players.
Dr. Owen finds himself in the posi-
tion of one who knows he has a truth
and yet a truth which cannot be
proven when he charges flagrant vi-
olation of the spirit of the amateur
code in institutions supporting foot-
ball teams. It is common knowledge
that in order to have a winning foot-
ball team the present day coach
must enter the open market for ma-
terial, bidding for players with offers
of jobs and aid that they may come
to his college.
And it is not as one writer has
remarked that "everybody's doing
it but us." As one coach has said,
"you have to cheat on the exat
letter of the rules to get ahead.
I don't deny I've cheated and I
only feel that my cheating is of a
lesser degree than my competi-
tors."
There is no such thing as unsoiled
linen among college football teams,
the only difference is in the degree of
the soiling.
And it is with reference to this fact
that Prof. Badger charges that "in-
tercollegiate football as it exists to-
day will be dead in 1942" unless some-
thing is done to curb the commercial
bent of the game.
Without investigating the neces-
sary ramifications of the matter the
ultimate result may well be the tak-
ing over of the college sport by the
professionals if crowds only go to
games to see the best teams and if
the best college teams are only those
composed of quasi-professional ath-
letes.
Future charges such as have
been levied this year against Ohio
State can have but one result, a
revolt among fans, players, fac-
ulty or students which will bring
an airing of the whole system of
abuses, or if untouched, what
Prof. Badger describes.
Already steps are being taken in
smaller Conferences, notably in the
south, to lend undisguised support
to the athlete by direct aid in the
forms of jobs and scholarships, hop-
ing in that manner to avoid the sub-
terfuge which has marked the be-
stowal of the same favors under the
present system.
But even such a high-principled
theory is doomed to failure, chiefly
as a consequence of the inequality
among the schools involved. While
one school may be able to bestow cer-
tain favors, another school with
greater resources will be able to offer
more attractive grants, and the in-
equality destroys the plan's effective-
ness.
If, on the other hand, the plans
for support should be limited by
agreement it is inevitable that
subterfuge and evasion should
creep in just as it has in the
present set-up.
There is but one solution to the
whole disordered affair -that each
institution would assume full respon-
sibility of keeping its own house in
order for there is no authority exist-
ing which can possibly exert enough
influence from the outside unless it
be a universal movement to save the
college game.
It is upon that principle that the
Western Conference operates, that
each school should take primary re-
sponsibility for its own record. And

that responsibility is supposedly tak-

Vaunted Passing Of New
York Backs
U OF D STADIUM, Detroit, Dec. 15.
- Detroit took another step toward
becoming the new sporting center of
the world today when the Detroit
Lions outplaying the New York Giants
by a wide margin, added the national
professional football title to the base-
ball championship which they tucked
securely away in October. The score
was 26-7.
Sleet and rain which fell contin-
ually throughout the game made the
gridiron slippery and kept an ex-
pected overflow crowd down to 12,000.
It was the Detroit line which won the
world title for Potsy Clark and his
Lions as it swept into the Giant's
backfield to consistently smear a
vaunted passing attack which had
carried the New Yorkers to the top
of their division.
Start Early
The Lions wasted little time getting
started as Ernie Caddel took Strong's
kickoff and ran it back to his own 40
yard line. Gutowski crossed up the
Giant secondary with a long heave
to Klewicki who was brought down
on the New York 7 yard stripe. Pres-
nell carried the ball to the five yard
line and then Gutowsky, on a spin-
ner, ploughed through for the first
touchdown of the game. Presnell
kicked goal.
The Lions scored again in the first
stanza when Dutch Clark cut off his
own left tackle and behind brilliant
blocking ran 40 yards for the second
Lion touchdown. His attempt at con-
version was no good.
The sole New York score came in
the third period when Big Ed Dano-
wski got off a pass to Ken Strong who
took the ball and galloped 25 yards
to score.
Punting Difficult
Danowski and Christianson waged
a sensational punting dual through-
out the afternoon as the soggey tur
made kicking hazardous.
The Lions came back in the fourth
quarter to score twice more and pu
the game on ice. Ernie Caddell went
over from the three yard mark after
a series of runs by Buddy Parker had
placed the ball in scoring position
Parker scored the fourth and fina
Lion touchdown himself after he had
set the stage by intercepting one of
Harry Newman's passes on the Giant
35 yard line.

In Miami-Biltmore Open
CORAL GABLES, Fla., Dec. 15. -
(A) - Tall, blonde Horton Smith, 01
Oak Park, Ill., who sees no reasor
why "any golfer should expect to wir
one of these tournaments," vended
his par-cracking way around the
tough Miami-Biltmore course agair
today to take the lead at 36 holes
in the sixth annual $10,000 open.
With two thirds the scores postec
by late afternoon, it seemed certair
150, or at most 151, would be needec
to qualify for the last 36 holes.

Pneumonia Spots; No
Cause For Worry
John Gee, whose absence was felt
so much by the Varsity quintet in the
Michigan State game Saturday night,
will be lost to the Michigan basket-
ball team this week-end when Coach
Cappon's Wolverines take on Mt.
Union College and Western Reserve,
according to Dr. Frank Lynam, team
physician.
Friday night Gee developed a high
fever and Xrays show pneumonic
patches on the lung. Dr. Lynam was
not certain just how long the big
center would be confined to Health
Service, but was confident that he
would be released in time to join the
Varsity to their mid-vacation games
against Butler University and Toledo
University.
Names Seven
So far Coach Cappon has named
seven men in addition to Gee to make
up the squad which will invade Ohio.
They include John and Earl Town-
send, Capt. Chelso Tamagno, George
Rudness, John Jablonski, Matt Pat-
anelli, and Earl Meyers. The remain-
der of the squad will be chosen later
in the week.
Both the Mt. Union and the West-
ern Reserve teams rank high in Ohio
cage circles. Previous encounters
with Mt. Union have always proved
close and Cappon is expecting a hard
game. Reserve is a newcomer on the
Michigan schedule.

DURING

By FRED BUESSER }
Flashing shades of Johnny Sherf, '
of Keith Crossman and Emmy Reid
appeared in the Coliseum Saturday I
night when a black headed, lantern
jawed New England boy with a long
hockey stick, almost single handed'
beat a stronger and more experienced
London team. First he scored five
goals, just enough for victory; then,
with the team riddled by injuries and
Captain Larry David compelled to
leave the game with a torn muscle,!
Heyliger became a fighting defensive
leader as he marshalled the Wolver-
ines for their great third period stand.
Bulwark Of Defense
Exhausted from two stanzas ofj
hard play, with Dick Berryman moved
back to defense to take David's place,
and with Jack Merrill working con-
tinually at Berryman's wing, Heyliger
was forced to remain in the game
and act as the bulwark of a very
tired Wolverine defense.
Scoring more goals than any form-
er Michigan hockey player has everl
registered against a first class op-
ponent, the Concord Flash time after
time swept around the London de-
fense for shots from close in.
Heyliger passed several times when
he should not have, he failed to pass
on at least two other occasions when
teammates were in the clear, and his
penalty shot try was a mile wide, but }
these faults were excusable.
Miss Goals
Several times in the early part of
the game Vic put passes dead on the I
sticks of Berryman, Merrill, and
Fabello only to have what looked like
sure goals turned aside by the London
defense or Goalie Bennett. Later in
the game when Vic has spent his
strength in one courageous rush after
another, he figured that he could still
do better alone than by passing and
1 as a result, he was stopped by the
London rear guard.
Heyliger's performance, despite
those errors in judgment was one of
the most brilliant ever put on in the

Coliseum. Four goals unassisted, one
on an assist from Jack Merrill and
another in the first period which went
in and out so fast the goal judge
missed it, in addition to the beautiful
passes he gave his wings, is as re-
markable an offensive exhibition as
college hockey will see in some time.I
CAPTAIN DAVID OUT
Capt. Larry David, it was
learned Sunday, is suffering from
a periosticeal bone bruise in his
right shoulder as well as a torn
muscle and a severed ligament as
a result of his injury in the game
with the London A. C. Saturday
night.
Dr. Frank Lynam, team physi-
cian, made the examination and
said that David could not use his
arm for at least two weeks.

VACATION

Imbued with a remarkable sense of
timing that can sense and do in one
split second, Heyliger is at his best as
a poke checker.
Breaking up plays at center ice as
he frequently does, Vic stops a great
many opponent attacks before they
can get well started with a long stick,
that sweeps in with the wicked speed1
of a striking cobra to snake the puck
from an opponent's stick. The pic-
ture of Heyliger picking up his man
as he comes down the center ice ally
and riding him until he ties himself
up and spoils the whole play is one of
the most beautiful spectacles which
hockey has to offer.

Meet Butler
Following the Reserve game the
squad will take a four-day vacation
until after the Christmas holiday,
when it will reassemble to prepare for
the Butler and Toledo games. The
Butler contest, which will be played
in Indianapolis, will mark the home-
coming of the Townsend brothers who
attended Technical high school in
that city.
Observers believe that the Bulldogs
will provide the real test for the
Michigan quintet. Last year Coach
Tony Hinkle's team defeated Illinois,
which tied for the Big Ten title, and
also beat Chicago but lost a close
game to Purdue by a 34 to 31 score
during the vacation period, and this
year the team boasts four veterans'
of last year's team.

TYPEWRITERS

GREENE'S realizes that it is very inconvenient for you
to come home after vacation and find the wardrode
that you took home with you is all mussed and needing
cleaning; also because of your fear of fire, or theft,
while you are gone, you have not left any of your clothes
in Ann Arbor. GREENE'S suggests that you leave some
of your garments with them, fully insured against FIRE
and THEFT, to be cleaned and pressed during the vaca-
tion, and delivered to you immediately on your return
.to Ann Arbor.

en not by the coaching bodies, for
only naturally their consciences are
in their pocketbooks, but by the ob-
jective judgment of a faculty group.
Whether those faculty bodies have
taken the fullest responsibility in the
past is to say the least a matter of
question.
But the issue is apparent, if they
and the similar residuaries of re-
sponsibility for college athletic pol-
icies want to preserve their sport
they must rationalize the practices in
their own institutions first in the
hope that the common end may be
reached.
