Urges Application of Horse Sense to Athletic Evils
Will Keep College Athletics From Leaving Amateur Field and Becoming Professional
(By Henry L. Farrell, United Press Sports Editor)
New York, Feb. 13—Nothing is more practical than the application of good, old-fashioned horse sense to correct the fancied or actual tails that are found occasionally or oftener in various lines of sport.
Much is heard of the sad fate that is waiting for football just around the corner if that immense popular sport does not follow different paths.
Sage professors, heavy thinking grads and serious minded reformers think that by legislation and by conference forms of agreement, any leaning toward that standard could be maintained. That pure standards of which can be maintained.
It is a well known fact that if there is a will to get around rules, the most drastic and the tightest code of morals and ethics can be cheated. No set of rules, on the other hand, has been set, there is a will to do the right thing.
This point was well illustrated recently. Charley Moran, for many years coach of football at Centre College, resigned and accepted a position in the same capacity at Bucknell.
Players Stay at Centre College
Several of the centre stars decided that they would go along with Mormon and enter Bucknell. The couple like the idea, of course, and the purpose is a reflection on football in general.
Legally and ethically, nothing could impair those young men from transmitting along with their former neighbors. As long as they complied with the eligibility rules as they are applied to period of residence and conformation with scholastic requirements, they were eligible candidates.
Movan stopped it, however, by telling the players that he could not stop them from the pursuit of knowledge from them; he could pre-identify them from the exercise of their athletic ability and while they might be accepted as occupants of chalk in the lecture hall, they would not play for him on the football field.
Centre.
Boxing Saved in New York.
The young men decided to remain at Centre.
Boxing Saved in New York Application of some common sense, although all the traditions of practical politics were violated in doing it, recently saved the boxing game in New York.
Boxing was in bad with the politicians who used the outside excuse that the law was being badly administered. The father of the school is its responsibility and said that a "Landis" would make to need the game clean.
The game in New York did have a "Landie" at its head for several years, but its head was hugged out of of place and couldn't get their naces on the stone.
He did everything that a human being could do to keep in control the most unruly of all the apartes, but he didn't work for the interests of the "jobbers" and he was forced out of authority.
Governor Smith used some good sense when he listened to the appeal for a "Landis" and reappointed William "Duke" Muldoon to his old job.
From a political standpoint it was a heinous offense to pass up all the worthy Democratic candidates for a job that pays no money in income but from a practical standpoint is something to do and the governor did it.
Professional Athletes Approve Commenting upon the reappointment of Muldoon, Tex Rickard, the leader of the boxing industry in New York, said that nothing else but the action of the governor in putting Muldoon back in office could have saved the game.
"Muldoon is erratic." Rickard said. "He has caused me more trouble than any man with whom I have ever dealt with, or anyone in his life but death and he knows the game. I'm glad to see him back because it is only a man of his hair and rare undiagnosed qualifications who works in boxing that would stall it to death."
With many examples that could be used to point out the futility of petty wrangling and political fighting, the A. A. U. and the N.C.A.R.E. have come a severe sense soon and unit battling for the control of amateur athletes in the United States.

K. U. Boxers Will Mix With K. C.A.C. Team Wednesday, Feb. 20
Coach Dixon Believes His Team Will Win Out in Return Engagement
The first boxing meet ever to be staged by a K. U., varsity team in Lawrence and a boxing team in Westfield Wednesday, Feb. 20, when the Jayhawk leather wushers meet the K. C. A. C. Team. The meet will feature ten boutens in all weight.
"My men are working hard every day," said Tommy Dixon, boxing oach, "and although we were defeated in our last time, I expect to turn the tables this time. My men are doing wonderfully well for the short game, and I'm ready for the game, and with the experience
gained in the last meet they should do much better this time. I now feel that I have a team which I would be willing to match against any队 in the valley. The K. C. A. C. men are much more than the Komma men, but I think we stand a good chance of winning."
Those who will take part in the meet are: Junior Phillips; bantamweight; John Montgomery, light weight; Leon McKee, champion; Sylem Welter, welter weight; Leen Seelig, middleweight; Kenneth Spence and Murray Davis, light heavyweight; Dick McKeen, heavyweight. Because of their grillity two bouts will be special bouts and will not count in the scoring.
Tickets are on sale at the Athletic office. The price of admission is not discounted and will be open to both men and women.
The Angies came, saw, and were conquered—again. That eliminates another contender so far as content with Kansas are concerned. Home, Nebraska, and the Angies have not met for the last time this year.
Sideline Sidelights
Who's the Lucky Boy?
Some predict that the Oklahoma defection will be the only one. Amos has not proved herself dangerous so far this season and there is little likelihood that Grinnell will be able to upset the dope. But there still remains Washington and Missouri to be defeated again.

The Aggies played a hard game and led the Jawhawkers twice during the first half, but from that time on the Purple and White attack failed to take on a dangerous aspect. The Aggies seemed afraid to take a chance on the Kansas defense and took too many long shots.
Referee Quigley's adapetent at explanation, shown when the Aggies were awarded a free throw for an illegal substitution, was a fitting sequel to the gentle "panning" awarded the crowd at the Washington game. More of it would go well.
The Ames live, which will do battle Thursday night, got away to a bad start at the first of the season and has never recovered. An infringement of training rules caused Chouchandler to attack them; they were not permitted to suit up until an apology was made to the student body.
Chandler was not so long ago a famous basketball player from the University of Wisconsin. He played at NIL in training. While his stand might have

caused some little difficulty at the time it will be a good thing for Ames and may serve the same purpose for other Valley schools in the state.
At the Colorado State Agricultural College it was disallowed that all but three of the men awarded football letters had broken training during a game, and charged, and apologized, but their letters were forfeited, nevertheless.
