MANY SCHOOLS GET ATHLETES
BY STAKING THEM TO JOBS
Dietz' Great Fault Not So Much in Offering Stars $100 a Month but
in Not Making the $100 Contingent on Work.
BY L. H. GREGORT.
THE meps Into which Lone Star
Diets has got himself at Pur
due brings to the front the whole
collegiate system of scouting for ath
letes. Dietz Is reputed to have raised
a fund from which to pay promising
young men of football ability 1100 a
month while they attended Purdue
There have been outbursts of indig
nation from other colleges and Diets
has lost his Job. And yet
Some of these same universities
tl:at 'have lifted their hands In horror
at the Dietz revelations have athletes
slaked out at good paying Jobs in
their college towns. We don't refer
here to the traditional stage Joke of
"sweeping the gymnasium" at so
much per month, which has rather
gone out of fashion, but to positions
put at the disposal of the college ath
letic authorities by business men of
the town for the express purpose of
"taking care" of athletes.
As an example of how it works, let
us consider the imaginary case of
bill Jones, star fullback on a high
school football team. Bill is in his
last year at high school and thinks
he would like to play on a college
football eleven.
Bill's career has not gone unnoticed
in collegiate circles. He suddenly
f-.nds himself a very popular boy, does
Hill. Delegations from "dear old"
this college and "dear old" that col
lege and "dear old" yonder college
begin paying him calls. Kach sug
gests to Hill the great desirability
ot higher education, emphasizes his
chances of "making the team' and
impresses upon him, old boy, that
the college wants him.
Maybe the football captain or even
the coach himself deigns to call on
Kill, or meets him casually by pre-
arrangement. These great men have
f:attering things to say of his ability
and expatiate on the almost certainty
that he will make the team. Maybe
they put it up' to him as a matter of
slate pride and patriotism.
l;ut Bill, despite his youth and
irnocence. is not entirely unsophisti
cated i'ew high school athletes are
nowadays too many of their mates
have gone the route before them. Bill
knows what he knows, lie likes the
popularity he seems to have created;
he accepts the adulations as his due;
he appreciates the condescension of
the coach and captain and graduate
manager. But with an eye to busi
ness that docs him credit, he thinks of
his future.
"What about a Job?" asks Bill.
AJi! Now that the ice is broken, the
boys get down to business. Perhaps
you wouldn't call it bidding exactly,
but whatever It is, it's spirited while
it lasts.
Oompah college, located .in a small
tovvn. can and does offer Bill a Job
clerking for a patrotic downtown
c gar dealer out of college hours for
Jtu a month. The boys who made that
offer have misjudged Bill. He sniffs
at the 41 and Oompah is out of the
race. .
Boompah college has an offer that
sounds better. A popular dry goods
merchant of the tow n has a Job for a
crod football player locking the front

Pullman Co-Ed Hoopers Use
Colorful Names.
Basketball Team Christened for
the Members of Spectrum.
ASHIXGTOX STATE COLLEGE,
Pullman, Jan. 24. (Special.)
What's In a name? Some say noth
ing, absolutely nothing, but if you
wish the truth of the matter ask the
cub reporter on the "Evergreen,"
Washington. Stale college student
newspaper.
It should first be known that the
co-eds have been staging- an indoor
basketball tournament and that in
terest is so keen in the sport t.iat
numerous teams have entered. Miss
Mry McKee, dean of the women's
physical education department, was
at a loss for names for the squad, so
she called in her assistant. Miss Sv ie
Fisher. Now Miss Fisher is somewhat
of an artist and goes in for aesthetic
dancing, so she suggested the color
scheme of labeling the ball clubs.
When the schedule was drawn up
there appeared light blues, dark blues,
deep purples, lavenders, light greens.
dark greens and other members of
the spectrum. , So they called It the
Kainbow league.
Every ball game must have its re
porter eo the Evergreen sent its
youngest and most trusting scoop
artist to cover the contests. The
game was too fast tw get individual
names, so he compromised: "Light
blue center put o 1 on personal fouls.
Bill considers that and is on the point
of accepting but decides to wait until
he hears from Goompah. Well that
ho does. Goompah, a university in a
big city, rewards his astuteness hand
somely. "Listen," says the talented repre
sentative of that great institution of
learning. "Listen, Bill you're a
pretty good football player so we can
go the limit tor you. We have some
business men in our town who are
backing the college right. There's a
department store owner who will
give you a Job sweeping down the
fourth floor steps at $5 a week. How
does that sound to you?"
It sounds pretty good to Bill. He
accepts the Goompah Job and Oompah
and Boompah are left to mourn.
...
You think that Is piling it on a
little thick? Just a trifle, perhaps,
but not much. With various modifi
cations that is what happens in the
case of many and many a preparatory
school atlete wio looka good for a
collegiate future in football, basket
ball or track. There are not many
of the $25 a week jobs, to be sure,
but there are some. Such as there
are. of course, are all in the big
cities.
The competition between the col
leges for the star athletes is so keen
that it often becomes a scramble. A
little matter like kidnaping a prom
ising future quarterback or 10-second
man, to save him from wasting his
talents at some other institution that
he mistakenly favors, isn't unknown.
It has been done and is done.
Frequently the athlete sought by
several colleges really has his mind
made up definitely beforehand to go
to such and such a college, and there
he goes, job or no job. And by no
means all the athletes at the colleges
are there because jobs have been ob
tained for them. Nevertheless, the
tendency of the high school stars is
to put themselves on the auction
block, so to speak, and go where the
picking looks softest. The colleges
are responsible for that by their bid
ding in terms of Jobs.
Nor are all the jobs sinecures.
Flenty of them require real work and
much of it to hold them down. Plenty
of them, but by no means all. The
point is, however, that the better the
athlete the better the Job he will get.
And the youth who is merely a good
student must do his Job-rustling for
himself. Also, the coHege with the
largest collection of jobs corrais the
best athletes, if given time to get the
system working smoothly.
We are not trying to point any sol
emn moral or to stir up an issue as
to the purity of intercollegiate ath-,
letics. We merely are moved to speak
by the horror-stricken cries against
Line Star Dietz. For after all, con
sidering the evidence, Dietz' great
fault wasn't so much offering ath
letes J100 a month. If he did offer
them that, but in not making the $100
contingent on a job. He was cither
grossly careless, or Just one step
ahead of his competitors, or both.
If there is a moral to be drawn It
applies to Dietz, and is: When in
Home, do as the Romans do, 1. e..
when you are a football coach, do as
the other football coaches do. Don't
get gay and trample on established
custom. .

NEGRO'S RIGHT POWERFUL
In Only Two Rounds of Ten Did
Bantams Let Down in Furi
ous Pace of Battle.
It took more than a dose of shrap
nel to atop Babe Asher, bantamweight
champion of the American expedition
ary forces, on the battlefields of
France and it also took more than
the right hand of Danny Edwards to
stop the little fellow from Chicago
at the Armory last night. Edwards.
was awarded the decision at the nd
of 10 rounds of fighting and he
earned it. There is no question about
that.
But at the same time It must be
conceded that Asher ia about the
gamest lad that has ever faced the
negro thunderbolt. Aaher took all
that Edwards had. On top of that he
stood up and swapped blows with his
negro opponent when he was getting
all the worst of it, for Asher's
punches, although they landed, did
not have the steam, the force and
punishing power of Edwards' wallops.
Asber Weathers Storm.
Danny hit the Windy City bantam
with everything allowed in the Mar
quis of Queeneberry rules, but only in
a couple of rounds did he have Asher
on queer street. Asher weathered
the storm nicely until the seventh
round when Edwards cornered him
at the ropes, clipped him two awful
rights and headed him toward the
canvas with another right smash to
the chin. Asher was up In a flash.
dazed but game, and covered up while
Edwards held him against the ropes
and volleyed rights and lefts to his
lace.
The bell ended the round before
Danny had another chance to crash
in nis deadly right. Asher's seconds
rushed into the ring, showering him
with cold water as they ran. and
hurried him to his corner.
The intermission gave Asher a
chance to freshen up and he more
than held his own with Edwards in
tne eighth. But the ninth was an
other tough session for Asher, who
was staggered by blows to the face
and stomach.
Edwards' boast before the hn lit wnn
that if Asher would mix it the fans
would see a fight. He found Asher
more than, willing to come in and
take 'em. There was no backing up
by either boy and each boxer did his
share of carrying the fight to the
other.
Furious Pare Set.
In only two rounds did -the bov

the eighth, when both, boys appeared
cautious and sparred.
The entire card was the nest Keen
hereabouts in many a month. There
was action in every bout from the
curtain raiser in which Ernie Demp
sey and Jack Rose, willing boys, bat
tered each other to the final contest.
Battling Ortega, Oakland middle
weight, convinced everyone present
that he s still a long, long way from
being through when he punched Jack
UBvis ol Seattle into submission in
two rounds. This was the semi-wind-up
bout scheduled for six rounds, but
Referee Gruman stopped it in the
second round with Davis out on his
feet. Davis took- some awful punish

The bout started with a rush and
before many seconds had elapsed they
were standing toe to toe in the center
of the ring. Davis shook the battler
with hard rights and lefts to the head

back and gave better than he took.

Athletic Board of Control Meets,
but It, Too, Refuses to Make
Any Announcement.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24. (Spe
cial.) Glenn Warner, Pitts-burg coach,
with his wife, left San Francisco to
night -to visit a brother in Los An
geles, following a conference between
Warner and the athletic authorities
at Stanford university. As to the
conference there is no announcement.
A meeting of the Stanford athletic
board of control was held at Stanford
last evening. Whatever action was
taken, if any, was not made public.
Members of this board were ques
tioned today as regards their plans.
'I'm sorry," said one of them, "1
cannot say what will be done with
reference to the football coaching
situation. It Is true we held a meet
ing, but I camiot make any statement
as to the action taken."
"Do you expect a definite an
nouncement to be made within sev
eral days?" he was asked.
"I rather doubt it," came the an
swer. "It is more likely to be a
matter of several weeks."
From .what can be learned It
likely Warner will have returned to
Pittsburg before the Stanford people
make known their decision. Even
thoueh Warner is eventually to Join
the coaching department as its chief
the hint has come that he would pre
fer to eive the news first hand to
Pittsburg rather than let them read
the Information In tne way oi leie
graphic dispatches.
Warner himself was as much t
sphinx as the others. He declined
to make any 'Statement.
