! Management W
Football tfets
Blame, Jacobs
By Dillon Graham
ATLANTA, Jan. 29 The trouble
with football is a vicious system or
management rather than the grant
ing of scholarships in the opinion
of Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, president
of Oglethorpe university.
"Tho fault lies in the vicious sys
tem of allowing Alumni, students and
'outside business men' to operate
and control the athletic programs.
Consequent lack of interest in author
ity over athletics by the college fac
ulties Is' at the bottom, of all so-
called evils of the game," Dr. Jacobs
believes. ,
'f'Theso schools would not consider
turning over the operation of their
chemistry department to students
and alumni, but, evidently, think
nothing -of placing one of the most
important ana most popular depart
mentft in their hands.
"Tho department of nhvsieal eul-
; ture, incoming intercollegiate and
t intra -mural sports, should come un
tier the faculties the Bame as any
utner ciass or suoject. witn ine coacn
naving direct supervision."
Favors Heholnrshlns
I Dr. Jacobs favors the awarding of
scii-ncip scnoiarsnips to students,
athletes or non-athletes, who heed aid
to finance their way through school,
i ' "I don't hesitate to offer a schol
arship to a nood violinist to studv
here and play in our orchestra, so
why the objection to making the
same proposition to tne atniete," he
says. "Any other attitude In the
matter is hypocritical. If this is
Subsidization, you can soy Oglethorpe
university is In favor of It.
"A college athlete receiving help
should not bo regarded as a profes
sional. He is as clean on amateur
as any. He receives less for his par
ticipation than the so-called amateur
In golf, tennis and other sports not
connected with collegiate sport."
Dr. Jacobs soys there Is no such
thing as over-emphasis In football.
"It may be that other departments
are undcr-emphaslzcd but certainly
tho physical culture division is worth
an the attention given to It. An
i nthloto gives less time to his game
lhan'to any single subject of his
