Major Griffith
Scored Allen

(By HUGH FULLERTON JR.)
New York, Dec. 9.—(A. P.)
—Next to picking a successor
‘to Judge Landis, about the
hardest sports job of the com-
ing year will be to select a
Western conference commis-
sioner who can_fill the place
of the late John L. Griffith.
. . « Some folks will tell you
:| the major didn’t have any
real power, but-he had plenty
of influence and a common-
sense way of using it....The |:
‘last letter this department
had from Griffith commented —
of Fort on Phog Allen’s. proposal to
son saw appoint an athletic czar:
“First, you can’t make people
‘| good by legislation, and it is
2 White foolish to make laws before
S. Navy there is a demand for the
2al old- laws. Second, our athletics
can be controlied better by
: erowd local groups than by a na-
"-A-V-Y, |=]. tional organization.” ... By
way of illustration he added:
cer of “We do not deal with this
mets problem’ of recruiting and
subsidizing as tho it were a
matter of ethics or morals,
but rather from the stand- |
point of fair competition. Our
men are agreed that they
want to conduct athletics on
a nonpaid player basis and
while, now and then, some-
body may help an athlete, we
feel that we are handling our
own problem pretty much to
our own satisfaction.”
