If they remain active, they can accomplish something ‘worth while. “It must be done, The game of football must not be murdered. It is a great game, wonderful as a character builder. “However, you can break down character just as. easily as you can ‘build it. You do that when you give boys-money for playing what is supposed to be an amateur game.” \d » » THE “grand old man” is still proud of the fact that he never had to pay athletes at the U. of C. “We took the boys who came our way,” he recalls. “Of course, we did some Trecruiting.

he recalls. “They met and for-

among athletic directors of that
