COLLEGE COACHES ARE OUT AGAINST PROFESSIONAL BALL
By FRAVK O. MEKE Great gosh! It's happened! The college football coaches have come right out In opposition to professional football! They just couldn't stand the Bight longer of their students going out. after the college days were done, andi earning as much for playing a dozen' games as the coaches get for a whole season of coaching. And so they've all gone on record as being fearfully and unalterably opposed to professional football, while the Western Conference radicals hav proceeded so far that they've resolved along these lines: "Any member of a conference college team who plays professional football before graduation day will lose his varsity letter; and, furthermore, any football official who act3 in such capacity for professional football games will be barred from officiating hereafter in conference games." Can you beat It? Killinger Case . Consider merely the case of Charlie Killinger. whose college, fortunately, 1 not listed with the Western Conference, as a sample of the injustice th.it such a rule would provoke. Kjllinger. as quarterback for Penn State, established himself as one of i the greatest players of all time. J When State's last game had been played in the seoson of 1921, all that he ever could do actively for Penn State had been done. The boy had put his heart and soul into the task of Tnaking Penn State a wonder team and he succeeded. He brought to Penn State more laurels than the college has ever gathered together in one season of play. Soon after the college season was over, Killinger, who graduates in June, got an offer to play with a "pro" team. The exact sum involved is not public property, but it was said to be $1,000. Killinger accepted, played the game and got his $1,000, or whatever it was Was there anything wrong in that? Was It Worse? Was it any worse for Killinger to sell his football brains and football power than it would have been for him to sell his services in a temporary capacity -as a civil engineer, or a chemist, or a mechanic? Would it be any more heinous for "Bo" McMillan, of Center, to accept an offer of $15,000 to play "pro" football next fall than to accept an offer of $10,000 to coach a Texas college next year? When Charlie Brickley finished at Harvard and became coach of a foothall squad for $5,000 or so annually everybody including the narrow-mind ed coaches said it was all right. But when Cholly formed a "pro" football eleven and began playing the "pro" game himself the coaches shuddered in horror. Is it any worse for a collegian to play professional football after his college days are over and garner from $3,000 to $7,000 annually than It is for him to become a college coach and perform more work for a lesser sum of money? ' What's the real difference? What About It? Is there any logical person in the world that will prove it's a fair rule to deprive a collegian of his letter earned a thousand times and over pimply because he earned a few hundred dollars by playing "pro" football at a time when he could play no more for his college? Quite a few of our noble coaches perhaps will shriek in wounded pride if it were intimated that they probably are opposing "pro" football because they hate the thought of their students going out and making more money in one season than they can make in two or three years as coaches. But perhaps such an accusation would not be very far from the truth. No definite reason for opposition to professional football has been given by the "holier-than-thou" coaches, be yond the one that some day "pro' football might become croowed.. Along the stfme line of reasoning, no man should be appointed secretary of the T'nited States treasury because some lay he might become dishonest and walk away with a few trillion dollars. Why don't the coaches wait -until "pro" football is of proven dishonesty before they start to condemn it if the fear of possible dishonesty is the only motive that prompts the frowns they now cast upon the "pro" pastime?

Yankee President Denies Baseball Negotiations CHICAGO, Jan. 17. Colonel Jacob Ruppert, president of the New York Yankees, who is in Chicago today said that he came here on private business and with no baseball affairs In mind. It was believed that Col. Ruppert might have come to see Judge Landis about Babe Ruth suspension but he bod no information in connection with the home run hitter's case. Before starting back to New York, Col. Ruppert said, he will talk with Ban Johnson, president of the American league and also see Ruth who is playing a vaudeville engagement here.
LOCAL "HI" TO MET TOUGHEST OPPONENT IN NET GAME FRIDAY Local high school basketball lads will journey to Rushville Friday night for a contest witn the high schoolers of that place, which, without doubt, will be the hardest to win of any which the locals have run up against this season or will play in the future. Rushville has been playing basketball in true form this year and has always been more or less of a foe to Richmond "Hi" teams which have in vaded that territory. The playing! floor is of the size of the local high school gym floor and should not hand icap the locals as far as that is concerned. .Richmond will be forced to call upon every inch of reserve basketball know! edge and ability to bring this contest out of the fire. Three years ago, a Richmond high school team went to Rushville to play them and were decidedly stronger than the Rush ccfunty lads, but, for some reason or other, the local men did not have the fight which is necessary to win, and were defeated by a three point margin. Jean Graffis will be back in the line-up this week after having experienced the thrill of bIng kept out of the game on account of ineligibility. Harkins is also expected to be in good shape for this tilt and his basket eye is looked to for the major portion of emergency points. "Whitey" Kessler has been showing such marked improvement In recent contests, that he will gain consideration for a regular berth at every turn, and whenever the question comes up as to who will start the game. Kessler has proved himself more valuable as a utility man upon whom the coach can depend, than a man to start every tilt. Little can be learned from Rush county as to the strength of the Red and Black crew, but, they have defeated the strong Newcastle outfit this year srnd with this carefully in mind, the local Red and White will have something to remember. The contest will not come back to Richmond, if the locals do not go down there with the determination to enter the game with light. HIGH GRID PLAYERS ARE GIVEN LETTERS Awarding of football letters and gold football charms to 16 members of the 1921 football squad was the feature of the special chapel exercises in the high school auditorium Tuesday morning. Coach Stenger was called upon to give a talk on the season, which was so successful for the Red and White. He told of many incidents which happened during 4he season.

Mike Gonzales, the Cuban catcher who figured in the trade whereby Heinle Groh became a Giant, is mighty h fu, tha w ngw berth wm ,ye him chance to ply his trade that of catching. For a super-abundance of mitt artists on the Giant staff forced Miguel to warm the bench the greater part of last season. Gonzales is , one of the few nativeborn Cubans to become big league ball players. He was born in Havana on May 13, 1892. His spectacular playing with the Havana Red3 in 1912 attracted the attention of big league scouts and he signed a contract with the Boston Braves for the 1913 campaign. After a brief tryout he was farmed to the Long Branch club of the South lauxauc league.While he was getting his education there the Braves turned his contract over to the Reds, where the Cuban played the following season. In 1915 he was sentenced to the Cardinals in the deal whereby the doughty Reds obtained Ivy Wingo. And it was in the town of tail-end teams that Gonzales really got his chance. He proved to be a good catch er so good that McGray purchased him in the spring of 1919. The presence of Earl Smith, Frank Snyder and one or two other good backstops on the team since that time prevented the Cuban from getting steady work, however. Charles H. Sabin. the New York financier was talking about Germany. "Germany," he said, "seems to think that, sanctions or no sanctions, she Will get out of her obligations. "Germany is Tike Ihe naughty little girl. " 'Come,' said her mother, taking her by the hand, 'you have been very naughty, and I'm going to lock you up in the chicken coop.' " 'All right,' said the naughty little girl. 'You can lock me up in the chicken coop if you want to, but I ain't going to lay no eggs.' " Coach Mowe's Earlham college net artists are scheduled to batle the Wabash five on the Coliseuhm floor Friday night and one of the best games of the season is predicted. Earlham held the famous Scartet five to a 20-to-14 score at Wabash early in the season and it would be no surprise if the Earlhamites would take the number of Hippo Vaughn's coherts. High school five will also face a stiff proposition when they stack up against the Rushville high five at Rushville Friday night. The Rush county lads have been stepping along at-a lively rate of speed and the Stengerites will! have considerable trouble in bringing back the bacon. The revamped Iegion squad will tackle the Shelbyviile Legion five on the Coliseum floor Wednesday night, and fans are promised 40 minutes of lively basketball. The Shelbyviile lads have a classy organization and are playing a fast brand of game. The Community Service basketball League will get into action again Tuesday night, and some lively competition is promised. Practically every team in the league has been strengthened and the competition will be much keener during this round. Purdue captured her first conference game of the season when they wal1 ( 1 V) .

White, the clever floor guard of the Purdue five, is going to hang up a record throwing foul goals this season. Practically every game in which he plays he very seldom misses more than one or two free throws. This season he has I thrown as many as 14 in one game and very seiaom gets less tnan 9. His foul goal pitching will win many games for the Old Gold. Letters Bring Good Cheer to Pacific Coast League (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17 Three J letters brought good cheer to the San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast league yesterday when a single mail produced checks aggregating $75,000 as payments for players sold in the east recently.

WABASH MAY EXPECT BATTLE; IF QUAKERS " HIT THEIR STRIDE: The next encounter of the Earlhara basket quintet comes Friday nlghti when the Quakers meet the Wabash i Little Giants on the Coliseum floor. The Wabash fivo already have won a victory over the Quakers, having defeated them on Dec. 22, at Crawfordsville, by a small margin. If the Mowemen are able to hit their stride which they missed last week in the contest with Butler, the game should be the best that has been played here this season. During the week Coach Ray Mowe will attempt to overcome the faults shown in the Butler fray with the hope that his men will redeem themselves when they meet the Little Giants. The Scarlet team from Crawfordsville has been traveling at a rapid rate this year and has wins over most of the best teams in the" state to its crediL Franklin same near spoiling their record last Tuesday night, when they forced the Little Giants to the limit to get a one point margin victory. Weil-Balanced Team. Coach . Vaughn has a. well-balanced team this year, every, man a basketball player of sterling ability.. He also has a list of substitutes who are 1 most as good as his regulars and who can be counted on 16 enter the' fray at any time and keep things going. The lineup that has been, starting the. games recently consists'of Adam and Crane, forwards; Peare, center, and Goldsberry and Grater, guards. But this lineup is subject to change at all times,, and it Js seldom that the Wabash coach does not get two complete teams into the game. The Quakers expect to go through a hard week in preparation for the contest. Monday evening they practiced in the Earlham gym and received instructions on their offensive play. Tuesday evening they will practice atthe Coliseum and it is probable that they will scrimmage with the high' school quintet. Coach Mowe has cut his force to 14 men. Seats for the contest are being re served by Mowe," who expects a large crowd. They are on sale at the btarr Piano sales rooms. NOTRE DAME RALLY BUTLER FIVE SOUTH BEND, Ind.. Jan. 17.
