Collegiate Football Not Strictly Professional So Declares Many Editors of Southern College Papers As a result of the Carnegie reports and other more recent criticisms of college football, various organizations have conducted surveys concerying this sport. A recent survey of student editors in the South brought forth some interesting statements on the hue and cry that has been raised of late regarding overemphasis of college football. The comment of all was surprisingly alike in opinion. For instance, Editor I)ugan?>f the North Carolina Tar I led, says, "I think college football in general is tending very definitely toward the professional," and this from Editor Say re of the University of Virginia College Topics, "Here, all extracurricular activities are on a strictly amateur basis." Editor Moore of Georgia's Red and IUaek says, "College football is becoming professionalized gradually, which is certainly unfortunate because of the ill feelings aroused between non-subsidized athletes and subsidized athletes, scholarly athletes and the morons." Editor Harris of the Athena rum of the University of West Virginia, states, "I wouldn't go so far as to say that football has become professional, but it is certainly reaching a stage which borders t>n professionalism, and unless something is done to curb this trend, it will be there soon." Mr. Harris thinks modest scholarships should be sanctioned for unusual football talent because of the competition. The editors arc unanimous in their desire for the best possible coaches. They fire divided on the question of "player control." The majority favor a shortening of the long schedule, and also favor a continued method of letting the public mcw the games. Some of the editors, how;vcr, arc in favor of moderating this omewhat, mainly by eliminating the high VV - s- ? 4 ? ii.*- i .-.*i " L$* ITCH OMING TERM MUSIC SCHOOL PLANSMBT Violin Recital in Chapel Nex' Saturday; Tannhauser Given Soon The music department, -under th direction of Felice de Horvath, is maV ing plans for two concerts to be pr< sented in the near future.

In the South, more than any other sec lion of the country, does one notice ths the personnel of the athletic teams o the colleges truly represents not onl Southern men, but in most cases, me from the State in which the college i located. There is a certain pride in th South which is shared by all college me who have been reared there. And, more over, the boys there take their footbal seriously, as is evidenced by the numbe of good teams which have been consist ently produced in the last few years. To sum up, the editors seem to war the sport as their own game, with th best coaching hut without alumni inter ference; they want good teams but team of students, without subsidized players they don't ban the public from viewinj their games, but don't care to have th games played primarily as public enter tainment. 11 1 1 With this issue "The Gamecock" is experimenting with a I plan that has been advocated by * many for some time?the abolishing of the co-ed page and the substitution of a society page, which will contain appropriate r? news concerning such activities S of both sexes. Other news formerly placed, under the co-ed head will be scattered through the paper, being placed in such positions as the relative importance of the articles deserve. The editor will be glad to receive criticism, favorable or ' otherwise, upon the new system. I The old style will be resumed if it seems to be more in accord with the wishes of the student ts u-J , u ?y ' C. P.

Wolfe lanky forward, looping in shots froni all angles to account for 18 points, Was easily the outstanding star. Playing a much faster brand 0f ball o* their own court than they did when trampled by the Biddies at the Uni. versity field house earlier in the season the Triangles jumped into an early lead and ran the score up to 10-0 before the Biddies located the basket. Fighting doggedly and guarding closcly the frosh soon pulled up to even terms and the half ended with the score deadlocked at 12 all. During the last half the superior speed and height of the Biddies began to tell and they soon jumped into the , lead, never to be headed. For the Triangles their center, Metts, was outstanding, scoring 12 of hi* j team's points and playing a fine all- \ round game. Gooding and Willard did i some fine work as guards for the Biddies.
