Says School Athletics
Should be Supported
aDHYEß
Not another in the
world like it
University of Oregon, Eugene,
Ore. Feb. 14—Competitive athletic,
between colleges should be foster
ed, there should be no commercial
ism or professionalism, and all ath
letics should be under strict fac
ulty control, declared Captain John
J. McEwan; head football coach,
in an interview today.
“I pity the book-loving student
who spends four years in a uni-
| versity without any physical de­
velopment,” McEwan said. “The
men on our athletic teams are not
the ones who need physical de­
velopment.
“Athletics should be developed
because they create an interest in
the sport, they foster Institutional
rivalry, they are inspirational, they
advertise the college, they arouse
college spirit, which may be nar­
row-mindedness but so is patroit-
ism, love for one’s mother, and
love for a wife.”
McEwan is at present interested
m watching the development u>f
the athletic problem at Reed col­
lege, which he characterized as “a
fine little college without intercol­
legiate athletics.”
