WOULD ABANDON ' GATE RECEIPTS N<w York. Dec. 22 (U.R) — Dr. Nicholas Murray IT-itler recommend ed today that gate receipts be ' abolished as a means of ridding ' collegiate sports of professionalism and ether evils. The noted educator nud president of Columbia University simultaneously advocated the formation cf an “athletic league of nations.” which he believes would put undergraduate sports on a highet plane. Dr. But'er's ideas are advanced in his annual university report, and he says that “until something ■u this st rt is done. Columbia must remain one of those colleges which pay th? penalty, if penalty it he. of insisting upon the primacy of intellectual ideals and intellectual accomplishment. 1 ’ “There are some things.he observes. “more important than gate receipts." Dec'aring that the abns s of intercollegiate athletics are many and various. Dr. Butler lays no small ameunt of blame on alumni. In fact, he is strongly in favor of ca'ling on them to furn'&h the funds to finance school athl tics. I “So obs ssed are many alumni with a passion for victory at a'l costs that they are quite willing to shut their eyes to very discreditable happenings which reflect badly upon their colleges in away which no series of victories on the i athletic field can possibly overcome. "The enormous cost of these intercollegiate football contests and the still more enormous revenues which are derived from them are a constant and justifiable source of academic as well as public criticism." Colleges or universities'who try to k ep free from professionalism. the educator declares, ar- “punished'' on the field when matched against teams having “very different material." lue “whole scheme of intercollegiate ath'etjes" is threatened by abuses, he believes. , “Pet haps what is needed is an academic athletic league cf nations to take jur sdiction over the entire field of endeavor and to preserv what is excellent while shutting out what is unbecoming and unworthy,” the educator suggests. The decline of classical erjuca tion, Dr. Butler says els- where in th? report, has led to “increasing carelessness of good manners and a sorry lowering of literary artistic standards." He finds scientific study disintegrating in the same way because it is b coming too sp cialized and confusing for the average student who n eds it in a liberal education o BASKETBALL SCORES By United Press S'mmons, 14; Bosse (Evansville) 14 i triple overtim" ).

The new plan, according to Dean Chauncy S. Boucher, aims “to set :sueh a level that the average stujdent can obtain the bachelor’s de- • gree in four years, the superior stu ' dent in less time. I It is our aim and anticipation lie i added, “that the average student I will no: spend any longer time than i o. iiierly in getting an. education, ' but that he will get much more of an education in the same time. The jtime required for the superior stip 'dent to obtain an education and to qualify for degrees will be reduced 'in exact conformity with his siperj iority.” The freshman entering college I will be allowed to decide for himself what his cirriculum shall be, according to the nejv plan. This lie will do through the assistance and ) counsel of his faculty advisor, agree that he is amply prepared he will present himself for examination to graduate. The student may or may not engage iu extra-curricular activities, exactly as he chooses. The same ' tuition rate will be charged, accordi ing to President Robert M.
