There was much talk about purifying football at the conven tion of the National College Ath letic association this week Some of the talk was noble but there was little action Even the NCAA admits it do much Many of the faculty men talked of abolishing gate receipts ending athletic scholarships and abandon ing recruiting but the meeting closed with no change in the sit uation Root of the Evil It is difficult to take seriously the talk of high ideals of faculty men whose colleges continue to charge $330 and $440 for tickets to their football games If money is the root of all evil it goes double for football orget about gate receipts or charge a nominal fee like 50 cents for football games and most of the abuses would dis appear But that be done They have stadia to pay for salaries to defray elaborate ath letic programs to be financed ootball is big business Approach Not all the colleges are looking for leadership Some of them are facing the issues honestly and try ing to bring intercollegiate ath letics into the proper focus A typical example is Texas is trying to bring about a sensible solution to this complex problem Bible who coached foot ball for 27 years at Texas A and Louisiana State Mississippi college and Nebraska before going to Texas is trying to raise the standards of his institution in a common sense way ought to have a level and all stay Bible said along will come a fine fullback and the first thing you know the level will be raised I do not think it is wrong to make it possible for a good football player to receive an education I think it is wrong to give an athlete a personally conducted tour through college We strive to have college men playing foot ball rather than football players incidentally going to school Good Training realize it may be difficult on a boy to play football work and study hard all at the same time But I firmly believe that any boy who devotes himself conscientious ly to all three programs will find it much easier for himself after he finishes school think there is too much stress being placed on ease before ac complishment We in Texas en courage our athletes to give of themselves for their university not only on the football field but in the classroom were given much credit for handing Texas A and its first defeat in two years but I want to say that our boys deserved that victory because they really gave unstintingly of themselves Preparing Youth were all proud of them be cause they proved on the football field that they had learned the lessons we are trying to teach them After all college and foot ball are doing nothing more than trying to prepare a youth to face the realities of Purdue (41) Rlanlrpn I'Sprowl Oi Galvin OJHoffman 1 Weber Nuetzel Korschot Riley Blemker Conrad Caress Basket Ball National Industrial at A 7:00 Nor Nat Gas vs Neb Pow Plant Paxton Mitchell vs Metro Utilities 9:45 Corn State vs Headquarters ed Ld Bk vs Commercial Ex Church League at Main Center 7:00 St Paul Lutheran vs Westminster Yeomen vs North Christian 8:30 South Christian vs Imm Baptist Cross Lutheran vsNorth Presby 10:00 Covenant Presby vs 1st Christian Blue Bel!

stroke away from his pursuers and this stroke will be worth $2500 the top harvest for the ultimate win ner This margin likely will he provided by some healthy putt of 20 or 30 feet that just hap pened

close the finish will be and the nerve strain that goes with every putt Among the high and the low a putter can grow hot or a put ter can get cold and one way or another that usually tells the story

winning chance or example such fine wood and iron players as Nelson Snead Little Hogan and De maret to mention only a few have a distinct edge on many others who are not quite so long and sure from tee to green But faulty putting can blow this advantage in a hurry a vast difference be tween a one putt and a three putt green Not only in the scoring but in the effect upon nerves The Tough Test rpHIS famous Riviera course has been ranked by experts among the first five in the world It is guarded by killing bar rancas from 15 to 25 feet deep that flank fairways and protect greens It demands not only distance off the tee but also accuracy It is no paradise on an off day in direction Penalties take too great a toll It also demands fine iron play through scylla and Charybdis to sloping greens It takes part of the premium off putting for one must first reach the green before the putter gets to work The Defending Champ fTHE A Open defending champion this year also hap pens to be the United States Open champion Lawson Little They are still talking about final 65 through a driv ing rain last January It was victory in this tourna ment that spurred him along for his winning thrust at the United States Open championship over the Cleveland Canterbury course "All I have to beat for that $2500 Lawson said a lot of fellows by the names of Nelson Hogan Snead De maret and maybe 20 more who are almost as tough This is one tournament in which you have to get hot and stay hot You can beat par all four rounds and still finish in around sixth or seventh Budweiser 3 Swanson Holmes Rec
