Football’s Dirty Linen Shows Itself
Seventy-five years ago this autumn, a group of Cornell University students asked their famous president, Andrew Dickson White, if they might be excused from classes to journey from Ithaca, New York, to Cleveland, Ohio, to play football against a team from the University of Michigan. After due deliberation, President White replied. “I will not permit thirty men to travel four hundred miles merely to agitate a bag of wind.”
Present-day football enthusiasts often quote President White’s famous remark, but they do so with the superiority of amused tolerance expecting, and usually getting, the belly-laugh they feel his decision merits. A few more thoughtful citizens, however, are sometimes assailed by the suspicion that perhaps President- White came far closer to putting a just value on college football than have his critics.
Certainly President White, were he alive today, would be appalled by the testimony of Mary Stuhldreher—wife of the University of Wisconsin’s Athletic director and head football coach—(which appeared on page 22 of the Oct. 23rd issue of'Saturday Evening Post). Mrs. Stuhldreher—who writes more penetratingly than even she may realize—has documented the current status of college football with almost alarming clarity. The picture she paints is not pretty. Gone are the heroic overtones that once marked amateur athletics. In their place, in her account, is the stark factual record of what happens to a coach and his family when the coach has the effrontery to produce a losing team.
Taken by itself, the Stuhldreher story might be passed off as an amusing account of the tribulations of a football coach. But it cannot be so interpreted. Rather, it is still another manifestation of the moral paralysis which has ' made college football at most institutions a frankly professional enterprise. How else can one explain such facts as these?
For more than ten years every literate American has known that college football stars, despite purity codes and pious protestations to the contrary, are paid for their sendees either by the college itself or by alumni groups. Almost without exception, institutions that deny the charge are either woefully ignorant, painfully sanctimonious or non-participants in big-time football. -
For more than twenty years* at least fifty college football factories have been far more deeply involved in staging commercial entertainment than most Broadway promoters. Apparently these colleges see nothing paradoxical about asserting their simon-purity, while at the same time they frankly commercialize their “amateurs”, by selling radio and television rights, advertising, maintaining press agents and otherwise stimulating the “gate” —just like other carnival hustlers.
* For almost as long, college officials have tacitly admitted that football coaches are hired—not to “build character” but to win football games. Losing coaches, no matter how good their personal reputations or how potent their benevolent influence on their players, have beeft fired at the conclusion of “disastrous seasons,” while winning coaches—of whatever background, breeding or personal standing—have been wined, dined and sought after.
In the last few years a good many coaches have demonstrated that they understand this cynical philosophy They have learned to ignore their contracts with the institutions they serve yvhenevq^aj^ttqjr yf^w^comes along.
A contract between a coach and a university, it Seems, is binding only on the university; the coach often assumes he can break it at will.
The “loyal alumni,” of course, have long been party to the professionalization of college football. They were among the first to realize that a social stigma is cast on everyone associated with a losing eleven, and they have supported their conviction both orally and financially. Now, apparently, even the students ha^ been infected by the same virus. As Mrs. Stuhldreher so eloquently illustrates, today’s crop of undergraduates are willing “to die for dear old Rutgers” only during winning seasons. Football is no longer a game in their eyes, but a yardstick by;which their school is judged.
Perhaps these symptoms of moral delinquency are unimportant. Perhaps college officials, pointing to attendance figures, are right in believing that “the public likes football the way it is.” Perhaps it is too late to reexamine the circumstencaa-~that led to the building of million-dollar stadia, jtothe conniving for players, to the paying of bigger salaries to football coaches than to professors of physics, to fciowl games, souvenir hawkers, gambling syndicates, and to the exaggeration of the importance of football triumphs to higher education.
Maybe so. But from where we sit, it appears that college football has grown far too big for its britches. No one believes that we can turn the clock back to the .days of Andrew Dickson White, but it does seem odd that the very institutions that are supposed to instruct our young— to teach them integrity of thought—should lend their names and their resources to the kind of chicanery that seems to go with the Saturday-aftemoon agitation of a bag of wind.

'Students Give Opinions of MC
The Hitching Post
The time has come for this sheet to carry a few Ideas of fellow Mac students on Just what should be done to Improve life at McPherson College. Your rambling reporter has chosen this as the topic for the question of the week, and has interviewed a few of the students to see Just what can be done to make McPherson College a more desirable place to pursue their higher learning.
Of course. In any poll of this sort you are likely to run across a few ideaa which are highly questionable aa to the actual good they would do for MC. Several of these suggestions were received this time. too. It seems as if everybody wants escalators in Harnly. more blackouts, pudded fire escapes, knobs on the outside of the fire escape doors. We even found one lonely soul who wants supervised necking In the S. U. R. These ideas might be passed on to our Student Council, hut I doubt whether they will take prompt action on any 1 of them.
Now to the more constructive phase of our little poll. We found the new freshman from Kansas City. Dorothy Little, relaxing In the S. U. R. one afternoon and asked her for suggestions. Her qnswer was rather a unique one. Dorothy seems to think that college life would he improved if they would exchange boys and girls dorms for awhile, and let the girls enjoy Fahnestock.
Next we saw Marx Jonrs. He would like to see the student council sponsor school dances. He hastened to add that he didn't mean folk games hut regular ballroom dancing. This idea seemed to make a hit. for severel students nearby put their ok on it. too. and
seemed enthusiastic aboht the
whole thing.
Another .freshttan. Miriam KHtn, would like very much to see the student council take actios os the lawn situation at MC. She thinks the lawns look like pastures, Maybe this Js a sound suggestion. and .MC students could help this by picking np all junk, to keep the lawn looking better.
Word got around thajt. this poll was being conducted, and Wilbur Heuttle came up and wanted to put his two cents' worth in. too. He says his car Is about to full apart, and he'd appreciate It If the driveways could be repaired a hit. He also reminded ns that when winter comes the driveways always seem to deteriorate all the more, and he hutes to think just what they will be like next spring.
Rovrens Xeher didn't even have to stop to think when we asked her opinion. She emphatically sta^ ted that college life for her would bo Improved . 100 percent ir they would have skating In the gymnasium.
Bill Saul and Gene Relnecker both wanted to see more coopeya-tlon botween the college and tpe athletic department and also between the town and the athletic department.
Maybe this will give you a general Idea of what MC students want in their college life, and who knows what effect this may have on bringing about some improvements. Anyway, we're enrolled for the next eight months here, and for better or worse we stay, and the biggest Improvement we can make, individually. Is a cherry smile for our fellow students whenever we see them. ThlSj will improve MC 100 percent.

Homecoming Is Over (Sigh)
A week ago today. McPherson College stodents yvere not so calm, and collected as they are today, for ut that time the student body was htsy prepnVlng for homecoming. ‘
The homecoming- began Friday morning with chapel, presented for the students by the alumni of the college.
Next on the agenda was the Queen's Pep banquet. M. C.ed by Don Helm. The program Included the campus entertainers Max McAuley, Rowen'n Neher, and Miss Sherfy. ,
Saturday’s events started with the parade in the morning, which was rather disrupted by a windy day. Next came the football game which was cold and windy. Bo-fore the kickoff. Queen ‘Bonnie wan crowned and installed with her court.
During the half, the band and Barkerettes surprised and pleased everyone with their formations and marching ability. •**
Saturday night was the alumni dinner. The dinner was M. C.ed by Royal Yoder of Conway. Kansas, und Included Gene Crnbb. Holland Plasterer, and a group of short entertaining speeches by arlous alumni and faculty.
After a weekend of activities and work the would-be decorators decided that one thing which McPherson had at* homecoming and which very few other schools have was wind.

SPORT SHORTS
Sometimes time writes a curious finish to a sports story. This tale of two pals, but a hundful of years ago, took the sports trail in search of fame and glory In such a story. Frank Sinkwlch and George Poschner were pals, kids in high school at Youngstown. Ohio, they played together on the football team. Frank Slnkwich whs the more spectacular of the two. He was a dazzling, flashy halfback star who could run. kick, weave his elusive way through the tiniest opening for sensational touchdowns. And he could throw a forward pass like a baseball player. Whenever Frankie fired u paBs It was always a sure bet that his pal and team-made. George Poschner, would pop up to catch It. for George was n good, reliable end.
Frankie created such a wide reputation In high school ns a star football player that talent scouts from nil over tho country came to try to convince the youngster to enroll at their respective universities. Finally Frankie was prevailed upon by the representatives of the University of Goorgiu to give his all on the gridiron for the Bulldogs. But Frank Sinkwlch refused to go south unless bis pal. George Poschner. also was given a scholarship. And. although the Georgia scout didn’t consider Poschner much of a prospect, ho finally yielded to Slnkwlch's request rather than lose a potential star.
Frank Slnkwich and George Poschner became roommates and teammates ul Georgia. Inseper-ablc pals, they began their march up foot bull's glory road. But it was Frankie who bogged the headlines. He became one of America's greatest and most publicized football stars.
George Poschner was not envious of his buddy's reputation. In game after game, Slnkwich would throw those long passes in the clutch und his* pal, Poschner, would catch ’em. The two Ohio Yankees turned the Cotton Belt grid circuit upside dowir. Always, though It was George I’oBchner who tackled ull over the field und
caught the passes his buddy threw. It was Frank Slnkwich who grabbed all the headlines. Tho headlines never mentioned it, but It wns Poschner who helped make Slnkwich the great star he became. •
So it was all through the football days of the two buddies. But -time has a habit of passing in a hurry nnd swallowing up the sports heroes of yesterday. There was u long silence. And then, one day. the newspapers carried two separate Items about the two buddies. One read:
Quarterback Frunk Slnkwich, ex-Georgia All-American and high priced professional star, has been awarded the "Carr Trophy,” given annually to the most valuable professional player In the Xatiounl Football League.
The other item read: George
Poschner, former star end of Georgia, has been Invalided home from tho Western front in Germany—with both legs amputated because of wounds.
Frank Slnkwich and George Poschner. two pals und football buddies of yesterday and today. Fate surely plays struuge tricks on the humun race!

If you see girls coming off the football field, panting and laughing. dressed in jeans, sweat shirts, and knee pads, you will know a strenuous but enjoyubie game of hockey has been in progress.
You will probably also hoc thos’e girls who were not so fortunate in securing leg pods to protect their ankles and shins from hockey sticks and that hard bail, rubbing their shins gingerly in tuuo to woeful moans.
The girls in physical education have named their teams and elected their captains.
First hour "Tho Demons” — captain. Miriam Keim. "Shin Barkers” — captain, Bonnie Martin.
Second hour; "Hockettes” — captain. Nancy Carter. "Bull-ettes” — captain. Rowena Nehor.
Third hour: "Hot Shots"—cap-tuin, Doris Blocker. "Hotter
Shots"—captain. Jean Evans.
The above teams will play during the Becond six-weeks period, rain or shine. It is a new game for most of tho girls, and they are all getting a big bang out of it (in the shins, that is).
