TO ELIMINATE COMMERCIALISM
IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS; PLAN
URGED BY UNIVERSITY DEAN
CHICAGO, .Inn. 1C.— Grottier con- j
trol of athletics by the faculties 01
colleges, was urged in a report made
today by Doan Douglas Anderson of;
Tulane University, to the Associa
tion of American Colleges, in session
here. The report was made follow
ing a survey of a large number of j
leading colleges and universities,
“Among the leading abuses which
the committee discovered were com j
mcrcialism, excessive expenditure oil
money, scouting for athletes in pre-|
paratory schools, too much newspa-i
per publicity, gambling and th • over;
‘emphasis on the part of alumni and!
the general public of the relative im-j
parlance of athletics," D“an An
derson stated.
“The first step in eliminating
these abusos,” declared Dean Ander
son, “is to give the faculty control j
not only over the eligibility of play
ers, entrance requirements and'
scholastic training, but also over f.
nances, schedules and the cm;;’,
incnt of coaches. Bach coach would
have the standing of a full professor,
under the plan.
“The average expenditure of south
ern colleges for athletics is |24,33t
per year,” the report said. ‘ One in
stitution last year spent $109,797 for
athletics. The great, and ever in-;
creasing cost of conducting sports i-,
one of the gravest phases of the
problem. It exaggerates the relative
Importance of athletics. It should be j
the serious business of each inslitu-]
tion to reduce these excessive cost.'.
A suggestion has been made that
gate receipts be eliminated and ad
mission to games be made strictly
a matter of invitation.”
TWO UTAH FAMILIES
HAVING BATTLE OVER
ATHLETIC SUPREMACY
SALT LAKE CITV, Jan. 33.—The.
Romney family of Salt Lake City and j
the Conroy family of Ogden are;
having a merry battle for the family]
athletic supremacy of Utah, hut the
Romneys appear to 'have a safe hold j
on the honors because there are
more Romneys than Conroys.
Three Conroy boys have gained
fame as football players and one Lj
a college wrestler while, the five1,
Romney brothers specialize in grid
Iron work.
Vincent Conroy, captain of the,
1922 Navy eleven, is the most fam
otis member of the Ogdon family.
Next comes Tod Conroy, who won
intercollegiate wrestling honors at
Cornell, and following him is R
Conroy, who captained the 1922 Utah
Agricultural College football squad
Bringing up at the tail end is young
Louts Oonrov, who lias been elected
captain of the 1923 Ogden High1
School gridiron team.
'Four of the Romney boys are hold
ing down positions as coaches after
brilliant careers as football playe-s
and the fifth is just starting out on
the gridiron.
G. Ottlnger Romney is football
mentor at Montana State Callage; It.
Lowell Romney teaches football at
tile Utah Agricultural College; Wii
ford Romney is football coach a' the
Logan ( Utah l High School, and Mil- (
ton Romney, who starred with the1
University of Chicago football squad
of 1921, is gridiron coach at the
Texas 'Agricultural and Mechanical
college. Floyd, the youngest Rom-,
tiey, is a freshman at Montana State'
College, and he plans to play foot-1
ball next fall. Last season he starred
with the University of Utah team j
here.
The Romney family's claim of hav-1
ing furnished more football coaches
than any other family in the United'
States hi3 gone undisputed for some
time.
