YORK, Dec. 26.—From the standpoint of the box- ™ office the Rose Bowl football game already is a success. All the tickets have been sold and approximately $250,000 jingles in the cash drawers. Os this sum the invading Alabamans receive about $70,000. This is what is known as a neat diw y and partially explains the eagerness with which most universities accept the annual invitation to visit Pasadena, which, I am told, is a right pretty little spot at that, except when there is a cloudburst or an earthquake. Thes remarks are more or less apropos of the statement by Dr. Ralph C. Hutchinson, president of Washington and Jefferson, that until recently the college spent $40,000 a yea on football players. To come right out and say so, this was how the coi'ege got its winning teams. In return for its investment, the college, meeting bigtime opposition in commodious temples, shared generously at the gate besides attracting no little attention to the college itself. Undoubtedly this proved to be a profitable investment commercially, however nebulous the cultuial i etui ns maj have been. There admittedly Is nothing new or shocking about the good doctor's disclosures In some form or other this same practice either is or has been m vogu* in practically every college where football occupies any great importance. • a a a nan EVEN in such instances where the college does not directly finance the football team, the alumni, usually working hand in glove with the director of athletics, succeed in achieving the same end by recruiting desirable talent and putting up whatever moneys are needed. I don t know a single exception to this practice among the big-time colleges except in some of the more ethical-minded institutions where the co-operation V* tween the athletic director and the alumni is not as helpful as is considered necessary to the development of championship squads. Personally I see no great harm in recruiting and subsidizing athletes per se, provided the young men are compelled to major in something more academically important than ear wiggling or guessing numbers from one to ten. In short, if they are forced to maintain their scholastic averages, where and what is the harm? non u n n IN the final analysis a college’s athletic situation is healthy or unhealthy in proportion to the integrity of the faculty. The situation at Washington and Jefferson was distinctly unhealthy, and there was no one to ulame but the college itself. Obviously it would have been impossible to invest $40,000 a year in football material without the presidents approval. ... j , Some colleges make a very earnest effort to maintain a decent balance between a livelv athletic setup and a fine scholastic arrangement. This explains why a football player, failing to matriculate at one college, will presently appear at another, welcomed with open arms. In such cases you can be sure the first college is trying to play the game on the level, that football Is a minor phase of student activity, whereas the second college is in the football business up to its ears. You can be sure, too, that in the latter case the football player isn’t going to be asked to strain his precious bean in the classrooms. nan a tt * USUALLY the December blatherings of the college deans who view with alarm and point with horror are nothing more than gusty devices calculated to bring the gentlemen some of the newspaper attention that is monopolized by the coach and the star ball carrier during the football season. It is a pleasure to report that when President Angell of Yale threw back his scholarly head and opened his intellectual Jaws on a recent occasion he said something; to be specific, he said he saw no reason for games between colleges that did not respect the same scholastic requirements. This, I think, puts the finger squarely on the nub of the whole situation. ana ana IF the educators got together and effected an agreement by which all future athletic rivalries would be conducted on a basis of common academic standards they would do more to eliminate the bacteria of commercialism from college sports than all the Carnegie Foundation reports that ever were penned. But this appears to be such a sensible and sane approach to a vexing problem that it probably will never materialize because it has been demonstrated in the past that the educators just do not go about such things in this manner, and I think I know the reason, or as may be the case, the reasons. First, to solve the problem once and for all, would mean that the educators would have' nothing left in athletics to criticise, and an educator reduced to such miserable circumstances would be very unhappy indeed. Second. I am not altogether sure that the educators, as a whole, are as agitated about commercialized athletics as they pretend to be.

College Groups to Take Action on Subsidization

Prof. Ora G. Clevenger of Indana to Preside at RoundTable Discussion in New York. BY LAWTON CARVER Ynited Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Doc. 26 —Football recruiting and subsidizing will be tackled as a problem requiring immediate action when four college athletic associations meet here tomorrow for annnal conferences.

PURVIS SUFFERS SERIOUS KNEE INJURY

Purdue Star Lost for Grid Fray in West Triple Threat Half Back May Not Recover in Time for Track Season. By L'nited Prut* SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. Duane Purvis, triple-threat football star from Purdue, was lost to the Eastern all-star team today through a practice injury. Purvis was hurt yesterday while drilling for the East-West Shrine game New Year's Day. The team was scrimmaging against the Cardinals, an Oakland club eleven. He slipped when tackled and his knee doubled under him. He was unable to stand. At Merritt Hospital, Oakland, doctors said he had torn the knee cartilage and bruised the knee muscles. Purvis also will be lost to the Purdhe track team, on which he is an outstanding javelin tosser, doctors feared. Ed Brominski, Columbia, was moved into the first string berth vacated by Purvis. Although he had only a second string role, Western Maryland's Bill Shepherd, the nation’s highest scorer this season, was the star of the scrimmage. The Western team worked out at Stanford. Coaches Babe Hollingbery and Percy Locey decided on the following line to open the game: Ends, Erdelatz of St. Mary's and Hubbard of San Jose State; tackles, Ullen of Washington and Theodoratus of Washington State; guards, Mucha of Washington and Harber of University of San Francisco; and center, Seimering, University of San Francisco.

OFF THEItMBIIAHD nmKmmmmmmmmmmmmmmk* by PAUL BQXVt ■in— —r

JEFFERSONVILLE has a date with Logansport Friday night, and it’s the talk of all the “court-in’ ” circles. The fact that the engagement is a “natural” and probably the most important hook-up of the Hoosier circuit to date, can not be overlooked.

The idea that the outcome of the battle v*ill offer a direct answer to the state championship puzzle is not well grounded. No matter which aggregation cops the struggle, the winner can not be looked upon as having the inside track to the Butler finals. Not in Hoosierdom, anyway! For in Hoosier basketry, as in most other sports, everything is topsy-turvy. The mediocre overnight becomes the best and the best slumps to the ordinary level. A team now plodding along in the shackles of a few black defeats may be wearing the crown when it’s all over, with Jeffersonville and the mighty Berries jolted out along the wayside. an u But the scrap is important in that it is timely, brings together the two most successful playing styles of the season to date, and will decide the top team of the Indiana crop as far as the season has gone—and I dread to hear the bursts that will come from Franklin and other undefeated friends on that! u a a WHAT have proved to be the best basket eyes of the state will be matched in the Berry Bowl tussle Friday night. The Berries have shown an almost uncanny accuracy in finding that narrow hoop, hitting more than .500 per cent of their shots attempted in some games. And, taking the Tech fray as an indication, the middle of the floor is as good as the foul circle to them. But the Red Devils also have attracted wide attention for th?ir familiarity with the iron circle. Johnson, the brilliant Demon guard, has averaged 12 points per game in six scuffles, and has dropped in 14 of 16 attempted gratis throw's! His mates are not far behind. nan The apparently easy victories over tough foes gained by Cliff Wells' Berries and their string of 28 straight wins have been heralded far and wide over Hoosierland. But there is much in the Jeffersonville scrip-book that you will want to glance over before you pick the winner. n tt n Here is the team personnel: Years Player Height Weight Exper.

the Satans' to the State last March. nan Hunk Francis employs a fast break and his boys go under the basket with lightning speed. The Wellsmen, it seems ( unless they have been holding out), are content with long range artillery, which has stood them in good stead thus far. But when you sum it all up, the Red Devils are big, husky, powerful, fast and well-trained. The Berries haven’t been beaten for a long, long time and they’re overdue to feel the sting. It isn’t a Conference game and the Berries won’t be fighting for their lead. Though few will join in this opinion, and with the general vote of Hoosier fans favoring Logansport.

Horse Racing Expands With Betting Legalized Sloane Stables Far Ahead in Money Won; Well-Driven Events Make Sulkies Popular. By .Y EA Service NEW YORK, Dec. 26— I Thanks to the legalization of betting in several states, which came arm and arm with repeal, racing roared along like Cavalcade in the stretch in 1934. It was the necessity of replenishing state treasuries that made the running horse game more widespread than ever before. It was lawful to wager on the ponies in 17 states during the past year. Massachusetts joins the ranks in 1935, and a pari-mutuel bill is expected to be passed by

the next New Jersey legislature. With bookmakers operating in the open for the first time in years, attendance leaped in New York. The two New England tracks— Rockingham Park at Salem, N. H., and Narraganset Park, near' Pawtucket, R. I.—enjoyed phenomenal seasons. There was increased interest in Illinois. The bangtails galloped for 123 continuous days in Detroit. Bets may not have been as large in the long-established centers of Maryland and Kentucky, but there were more of them made. California’s new turf deal had an auspicious beginning this winter, and is to be climaxed by the SIOO,000 Santa Anita Handicap at the new $1,250,000 Santa Anita track, hard on Los Angeles, on Feb. 23. There were so many additional meetings in 1934 that obtaining horses beeme a problem. Sloane Winnings, $251,138 Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloane’s Brookmeade Stable finished far in front in the money-winning department with $251,138. Its Cavalcade was the leading money-winning horse of the year, with $111,235. Cavalcade annexed the Kentucky, American and Detroit Derbies, the Chesapeake and Classic Stakes, and finished only a nostril behind his stablemate, High Quest, which bagged the Preakness. With Equipoise in the barn most of the time, C. V. Whitney, with $168,520, was fortunate to beat out J. E. Widener, who collected $160,125. Widener had the distinction of being the first owner to take both the Belmont Futurity and Belmont Stakes in the same year. His Chance Sun captured the SIOO,000 Futurity, while Peace Chance looked after the $50,000 Belmont Stakes. The B. B. Stable, the largest in the sport, was far in front in races won, with close to 100. M. Peters topped the jockeys with more than 200 victories, with Silvio Coucci close behind. Highest ridj ing honors went to Uncle Mack Garner, however. Garner took the most big stakes with Calvacade. Peters turned in the very lofty riding percentages of .23; Coucci, 20, and Garner, .13. Three-year-old fillies were sad, with Mata Hari, Jabot, Bazaar and Wise Daughter showing little of their juvenile brilliancy, even though Mata Hari did score a double in the Illinois Oaks and Derby. The 2-year-old crop revealed a cluster of whirlwind performers, with Chance Sun, Psychic Bid, Balladier and Nellie Flag leading the way. Most of them seemed to be suffering from leg infirmities, 1 however. Racing seemed dominated to a I remarkable degree by the Fair Plcy line. To this line belonged the 3-year-olds, Peace Chance and Discovery, and the juveniles, Chance Sun, Psychic Bid and Nellie Flag. Kentucky Steals Sulky Show Harness racing was more popular than it has been in years. Consistently brilliant performers staged bitterly fought battles. The outstanding harness performance of the year was the remarkable mile turned in by Lawrence Hanover, a 2-year-old trotter, who whirled this distance in 2:02, world record time for a colt of his age. Lawrence Hanover thus equaled the time made by his full sister, Hanover’s Bertha. The greatest contest of the sulky season was the senior Kentucky Futurity in which Princess Peg humbled a field that included Lord Jim, winner of the Hambletonian Stakes; the faultless trotter, Vitamine; Emily Stokes, 2:Ql!£, and Muscletone,

winner of the Championship Stallion Stakes at North Randall, and a heat winner in the Hambletonian. The race was won w’ithin half a second of world record time for four heats, with Lord Jim taking the first in 2:00%; Vitamine the second in 2:01% and Princess Peg the third in 2:01%, and the last in 2:08. Vitamine recorded the best heat of the year with a time of 2:00 1 2. The leading 2-year-old winner was Silver King. Doc Parshali remained the foremost reinsman on the Grand Circuit. Local H. S. Rivals Polish for Fray Shortridge and Tech Foes in Annual Scrap. The Shortridge and Tech basketball teams returned to drills today for their annual battle at the Butler fieldhouse Friday after a short vacation from the hardwood yesterday for Christmas celebration. Coach Kenneth Peterman polished his Blue Devils on offensive maneuvers. The Blue netmen were able to garner only nine points against Delphi last week. Coach Peterman is testing pivot men, with Cromer the outstanding candidate. Coach Campbell at Tech has his lineup set with the exception of one forward assignment. Meier and Frederick are battling for that position. Hutt, Mocas, Dobbs and Weaver are almost sure starters. Dobbs may be playing his last game Friday, as he becomes ineligible after the first of the year. The game Friday night will get under way at 8. A s£cona-tcam preliminary will begin at 7. Admission tickets are 25 cents if purchased at the schools, and 40 cents at the fieldhouse before game-time.

Garden May Hold Hamas to Contract By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—Madison Square Garden has served notice on Steve Hamas and Charlie Harvey, manager of the heavyweight title contender, that action wilj be taken to prevent them from going through with the Max Schmeling bout in Germany March 10. The Garden has a prior contract that calls for Hamas to remain idle until June and then box Max Baer. Harvey said he and Hamas were not interested in breaking any contracts “but we can't get any sense out of the Garden one way or another. We plan to go ahead with the bout in Germany.
