Loves eompetition above erie dae else will listen to the argument
of this pseudo-coach and he will choose a college where athletics
with little work are placed above the hard grind in working for an
educations

The second reason, I think, was elaborated ee et
forcibly + the economic situation. None of us efter this war will
have too much money above bare living and life's mecessitics. We,
of course, will be able to save, but it will be a work of art and .
one of selfedenial, The fraternity beys of course will not have this
extre money and I do not believe they will vote to pay s else's
food bill, Ané naturally the fraternity life will not be the @ and
ease and overcenphecis on fraternities that it hes been in the paste

‘The third reason that you elaborated upon nicely was that
every man in the army will be in some physical castes The intra-
murals will be 30 definitely systematised and ingrained in the
youmgsters® activitios that the edecators will be quick to grasp this
plan of the army and put it inte practice in their colleges. Ifwe
go “all out for Wer" in ancther year our athletic ranks of stars will
_ be definitely depleted, and that will be the time for the educators
. %o take hold, They will control the new deal in athletics from its

. inception before it gets ahead of them as it has at presente This
huge giant tusker which the edwators have been neither definitely
' gontrolling nor guiding by wilking along with and yet fearing the
animal, will not exist in ite present forme

Mhusin 1 eve the great sulentiote und the neni vile have mdi
the reputation for tho University wderpaid proportionately, then I
believe that I can glimpse the attitude of the educators when and if
they get a chance to take a crack at this bigetime show, Certainly
eempetitive athletics as they are run in 95% of the schools and pallaese
have little or no educational values No longer do they look at a coach
as a builder of character or morele, but one of the drivers of the
‘threeering cirouse That rine has lest his prestige as a developer
and ea leader of young mone He ics just a circus trainer and the public
doesnt take him seriously except when he appears before a business
men's lumeheen or the quarterback club. And then the business executives.
take him only as an emtertainer as they would some fellow like John
Barrymore or Clark Gable. Thay Wied Vo esther seegh at hie of vive Dine
