Football Hero, Not Professor, Keeps '
Modern College On Solvent Basis
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YOR K, t.V One of the thlngi missing from football thli
season la the old atmosphere of moral outrage.
The two big controversies of my reportorial youth were:
1. Are wrestling matches fixed In advance?
2. Are college football players subsidized?
Todav these two questions
seem about as Important as the
debates among medieval philoso
phers over how many angels
could sit on the point of a pin.
Right or wrong, the sports-lov
ing public years ago decided
that, yes, most rasxlin' exhibi.
tions are prearranged entertain
ment, with the winner picked
ahead of time. And it also has
pretty well made up Its mind
that college football players are
subsidized. The only question re
maining is whether the right
man gets enough.
In the old days groups of an
noyed professors, indignant at
the realization the football coach
made more than they did, led
the attack on the game. They
fomented against the payment
of college athletes In the form
of scholarships, salaries, Job
sinecures, or gift automobiles
(torn alumni.
It was a losing battle. A losing
team can't draw the crowds to
pay off the bonds on a stadium,
nd a winning team can. Ana Hi
many, many cases college presi
dents found they had to wink at
the subsidization of athletes bv
coaches and wealthv alumni in
order to keep their education
factories solvent.
Sport No Longer Gratis
The days when a moleskin hero
would break a collar bone for
nothing were over. Football be
came a big business, and it had
to function like big business. It
had to fork over the going price
tor the raw material muscle and
speed.
now tne issue appears settled.
The Institutions that didn't want
to go into football on an Indust
rial basis simply had to drop out
of competition. At the llnlver
sity of Chicago they study the
great books. Oiher ivory towers
still keep the turnstiles clicking
at the gridiron gate.
The professor labors alone. In
his laboratory to develop the next
wonder drug. But It's the young
man who can throw a forward
pass who is paying oft the debt
on the field house.
This hero In pigskin not only
packs the stadium he fills the
barrooms which tune In on the

game by television. A multitude
of workers in other fields from
spcrts manufacturers to the fel
low who paints the goal posts
depend upon him. In big cities
he iven supports scores of book
ies who take bets on the score.
AII Yaar Activity
Football used to be a seasonal
Industry, like the Santa Claus in
dustry. It has become an all
year round thing. Spring train
ing is of rising importance, and
the earnest coach beats the bush
es and the byways looking for
autumn material. The search for
talent, too, has become a com
petitive science.
Naturally the players themsel
ves put a price on their services.
And, by and large, the public
now appears to see that as okay.
It Is part of the American theory
that a guy with something to
peddle Is a dope to give It away.
The whole outlandish enter
prise may be slightly immoral in
pretending to adhere to Its ama
teur standing, while operating on
I principle of professional ef
ficiency but the people like It
all but the professors.
You couldn't break up collsre
football today with an anti-trust
suit. The fans wouldn't stand for
It.
