Jayhawker Coach Writes Magazine Story on Football
"Potsy" Clark Makes Plea That Gridiron Be Kept Free From "Pro"
Players
"Football must not be professionalized," said Coach George "Poty" Clark in closing an article entitled "Side Lights on Professional Football" in the November number of the All-Northeast magazine.
"All schools should 'blacklist' their athletes (including graduates) who take part in professional football games. Professional conferences have 'blacklisted' the officials who work professional games. Professional football will injure the standards and ideals of the academic games," he continued.
"Football has many fine qualities, and although it has been attacked from all angles, it continues to grow in popularity. The most serious menace to the game today is professional football. This parasite will soon injure the academic game unless the amateur sports-living public includes the college alumni, facilities and student bodies, force the danger.
Clark Questions Readers
"Athletic directors and coaches for the most part, have treated the issue too lighty; some have, unfortunately favored it; others have simply been neutral on the matter. It will be necessary, first of all, for those actively interested in the game to support it wholly."
He follows with seven questions which he throws up for answering:
1. Why permit gamblers and promoters to spoil American football?
2. Is there proper spirit behind the professional football teams?
3. Are they organized and conditioned as they should be?
4. Why make a home for tramp athletes and disgruntled college and high school players?
5. Do college stars reflect glory of the alma mater by playing professional football?
6. Is there a demand for profes
sional football when there are hun
dreds of games of the right sor
played each week?
7. Is football the right type of game for the factory worker or business man?"
These questions Mr. Clark answers quite conclusively in the negative. One of the strong points which he makes is that "the spirit behind a college or high school team is the 'do-or-die' spirit which causes the team to self-contrast with the poor spirit and brutality which characterizes the games where there is no such inspiring motive power.

Europe Likens Result of Presidential Race to British Labor Fal
English Think Coolidge Election Will Prevent U. S. Entry Into League
London, Nov. 5.—Europe generally regards the result of the American presidential election as due in the main to the same reasons which prompted the British electorate to turn out a Labor ministry and return to; the Conservatives overwhelmingly to power. The belief was generally that in England on and the continent, the United States had Coolidge and Dawes mitigates against the entry of the United States into the League of Nations.
The Evening Star, under an editorial headed, "Cool Cal," declares the belief that the Republican victory was partially due to the $4,000,000 from manufacturers admittedly collected from manufacturers interested in the tariff.
"Other causes of Coolidge's success, said the Star, were the American's fear of Bolochheim and the Republicans claim of credit for the rise of the price in wheat. "Coolidge's campaign silence," said the editorial, was "bold." He had nothing while the others perhaps, said so much."

Small Vote at Election

Beside the election of representatives, the election is also determining the question as to whether freshmen can sign some omnigrave to denote their class.
The women of the graduate school were extremely lax about voting. According to the election committee, which rat at the polls, up until 1:30 p.m. one graduate student had cast her vote. At the same time the vote of approximately ninety freshmen had been polled.
The women's Forum will hold a business meeting Thursday, Nov. 6, at 4:30 p.m. in room 210 Fraser. All members are urged to be present.

Nine Presidents Since 1828 Won by Less Than Half of Popular Vote
Independent Parties Play Important Roles in Deciding Elections
Lincoln, the first Republican president, was elected with but 30.8 per cent of the popular vote cast at the 1890 election. Woodrow Wilson defeated Taft and Roosevelt in 1912 and lost to Woodrow Hill, backing of 52 per cent of those casting a vote at the election. In fact nine of the presidents elected since 1828 have had less than half the vote a cut, according to a complica- tion made by Prof. Frederick H. Guild, head of the political science department.
"Third parties," said Professor Guild, "have had a part in this election of presidents by a minority of popular vote, but of course the chief minister is not elected. It is the fact that the United States uses the electoral college plan.
"Harrison, for example, in 1888 was elected after receiving only 47.8 per cent of the popular vote, and as a matter of fact nearly 100,000 votes less than did Cleveland. However, four years later, Cleveland returned to the White House on 43 per cent if the popular vote.
"Experience seems to have be 'n",
continued Prof. Curie Guild, "that third party movements have been followed by arduine death; and the practices have adopted the dominant issues of the independent parties.
"The major third party movements in the United States began with the Liberty party in 1840 and reached their height in the election of Lincoln and the Brokerbridge Democrats, and into the Brokerbridge Democratic union parties.
"The second independent or third party movement began with the advent of the Greenback party in 1850, in the meantime, the Prohibition and grown until it was a precisely part in the third party grouping.
"Minor third party movements included the anti-Monopoly party in 1884 and the Union Labor and the Democratic parties, of which those polled any great number of voters, but they drew from both major parties enough in fact to prevent either party obtaining a clear popular vote, for Garfield, Cleveland, or Harrison.
"Weaver, former Greenback candidate, polled more than 1,000,000 voters as Poniewitz candidate in 1892.
In "1908 there was an incerase in 'insurgency' with seven parties in the field, a manifestation of restlessness which culminated in the third party in 1912 when the Progressives polled a vote, with a 419,597 vote for Roosevelt. In addition more for the Prohibition movement, smaller candidates. The election of 1912 stands cut as the high water mark of the independent movements.
"The first minority president was wa Polk, who was so evenly matched with Clay that Birney, Abolitionist polling 02,500 cut Polk 12,000 below the majority point. Other minority presidents were Buckman, Lincoln, James J. Baker III, and Wilson. Harding's popular vote was almost 60 per cent of the total cast."
There will be a meeting of the MacDowell club, Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 7:30 in room 10 central Administration building. This is the first meeting of the year, and it is desired that all members attend in order that the program for the year may be discribed and worked out.
