HAT’S a beautiful ne ‘Phog’’ Allen has aed
Like everybody else, standing along the sidelines of Pier
Six, I am enjoying the brawl, no end. Whether or not the

good doctor of physical education at Kansas U. proves his

charges of ‘‘thrown games’’ in Madison Square Garden—and
Allen, according to pews. association reports, has telegraphed names to
Madison Square’s Ned Irish—he has, from all evidence in so far, put his
finger on something mighty sericus.

Suppose we just leave “Phog” out of this entirely.

Let us take the experience of Vadal Peterson, coach of Utah uni-
versity’s N. C. A. A. Invitational champion while in New York. Let
us add to that the experiences of Ev Shelton and Hilton Davis of
Wyoming when they took the Cowboys back to the Garden.

These esperiences have bee: set out in detail in these columns

in past days. You know how beth clubs lived in an atmosphere in

which it was necessary to have the rooms occupied by the players

guarded by minions of the law st all times; how Peterson had to
have the telephones cut off f:c:a his team’s quarters; how, accord-
ing to Buddy Hassett of Georgetown U.—Wyoming’s opponent—

(as quoted by Shelton) a proposition was made to two Georgetown

players, Krauts and Mahnken.

Then read Lawton Carver, International News Service sports editor,
in this issue of THE POST—A witness against Allen, by the way—who
' nevertheless tells how Madison Square is infested by gamblers, cluttering
the aisles “bickering and dickering” over sports events.

HERE is a body called the National Collegiate Athletic association—
the N. C. A. A. It is headed by Prof. Philip O. Badger, assistant to
the chancellcr of New York university. Its secretary-treasurer is Maj.
John L. Griffith, conference commissioner of the Big Ten. Its vice presi-
dents are John M. Harmson, Boston U.; William A. Read, Colgate; Dean
A. W. Hobhs, University of North Carolina: Prof. George L. Rider, Miami
U.; H. H. King, Kansas State; Prof. J. S. McIntosh, Southern Methodist;

Watch for This; It Will Be Good!

Mr. Jack Carberry, Sports Editor
DENVER POST.

. Dear Jack: This is to follow up my press wire sent you Friday
night. I am very much interested in the many different questions
‘raised by Dr. Forrest Allen’s letter and am planning to write at
some length in an attempt to cover most of them. I am leaving
‘for the east and will not be back until Oct. 30, which means that |
‘I cannot send you my full opinions until about that time. Mean-
while, suffice it to say that Dr. Allen has hit at some of the basic
difficulties of intercollegiate athletics, and I want to congratulate
you on airing these ideas thru the offices of your paper.

Sincerely yours,
HARRY CARLSON,
Dean of Men and Athletic Direc-
‘tor of the University of Colorado.
