graduate career. He dresses immaculatdy- he generally has money -

 

yet he obviously does little work to earn it. “Say it with touchdowns. "

After the years of competitive eligibility are over he
must crash the line of human endeavor out in the cold business and
professional world. He must of necessity start at a low salary as an
apprentice. Too much attention and newspaper publicity have made him
feel that he is a "big shot". The world owes him a living because
heretofore friends and alwmi have been generous in providing him with
credit, cash and tutors along the social and academic pathway.

This pseudo-athletic marvel obtained his prominence and
earning power through that driving piston like pair of legs that
stretched across the oe to the goal line. The brain now will
not earn as much as brawn - so at the end of his college career he turns
to the most lucrative activity that is left to him, professional foote-
ball.

It is a sad commentary on education and athletics, that
a boy would go to college four years to learn to be a professional foot-
pall player. A college man's curve of earning power should not show a
downward decent until long past sixty - yet statistics show that the

average professional football player's durability does not last ten years.
