Talking It Over WITH JOE WILLIAMS

I'XTEW YORK. Feb. 6.—What will l-L doubtless come as a severe Ibhcck to some of the best academic ■minds of the country is the verdict Jof the Carnegie Foundation, revealed in its annual report today, that the difference in native dumbness of the average college athlete end the average college student is

so small as to be not worth going into purple hysterics about. Before going deeper in the matter, you should be told that the Carnegie boys set out some months ago to learn all about this here talk that athletic activity lessens the intellect, or noodle power, of the college youth—a move-

Williams

ment inspired by the growing fessional complaint against “over emphasis of sport.’ The first step, naturally, was to see what the colleges themselves had done, if anything, toward determining the effects °f athletic participation on the collegiate dome. tt * “It was fair to assume,” reads the report, “that there exists a body of statistical data sufficiently comprehensive to justify all arguments.” But it was found that none exists: at least, not m any of the colleges included in the survey. a a a **npHE inference is invitable that JL those who attacked or defended college athletics either have argued mainly from opinion or have ba.ed their contentions upon cases too small in number to be sigmfiant, the report commented. However, forty-four college did make for their own purpose statistical inquiry into the academic standing of their athletes, and it was from the data thus submitted, together with a study of the complete record of one particular class -that the Carneigie conclusions were reached. . Broadly, the conclusions assuie, that while the college athlete is not generally as mentally keen as Lie ncn-college athlete, he js fe y no means in comparison a thick skull. It takes him longer to get through college, he is usually behind in his work and he doesn’t, as a unit, graduate with any great honors, but even so, at the finish, he isn t far away from the other fellows.

Tris Agrees to Play With Mack’s Team Speaker to Perform With Athletics; to Report March 1. COBB MAY STAY By hiited Press MOUNT PLYMOUTH, Fla., Feb. 6.—Connie Mack hoped today to retain Ty Cobb with the Philadelphia Athletics. It had been reported Cobb would be released by Mack, but today it appeared likely he would remain at a reduced salary. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Tris Speaker today looked forward to his twentieth season in the American League. , Philadelphia Athletics. jjiThe veteran outfielder came to irTh ? onnie Mack, manager of the Athletics, over the telephone Sunday night, and will report for training camp at Ft. Myers, Fla March 1. ” Speaker probably took a cut off the salary he received c.t Washington last year in order to continue m major league baseball. He was said to have received $30,000 for last season’s work with the Senators and an additional $30,000 for signing a contract. Clark Griffith, president of the Senators, released Speaker, because he did not care to assume the heavy salary of the veteran outfielder for another year. Mack plans to use Speaker in center field, A1 Simmons in left and Bing Miller, obtained from the St. Louis Browns in right, with Walter French as first substitute. This line-up gives the Athletics a strong outfield on both offensive and defensive. Speaker played in 142 games with the Senators last season and batted .327.
