Howard Savage of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching made a further attack on the subsidizing of athletes by colleges and universities In a speech before the Sportsmanship brotherhood. Mr. Savage declared that although the practice of recrultmg blgb school and preparatory school athletes "probably Ia diminishing gradually," the sltua· tlon atlll "Is so serious that It should engage the attention of every sport• man." "The recrultlnc of athletes Ia no simple matter and Its rights and wronp are not 10 Immediately obvious as one might wish," said Mr. Savage. "The practice seldom. and probltbly never, exists without the use of subsidles. As the fisherman balta hla book, 10 the recruiter dangles the subsidy before tbe eager eyes of the preparatory or blgb school athletes. So widely recognized are the praetl<'t!S thst a complementary practice has developed among schoolboys. known as 'shopping around,' In wblcb tbe schoolboy without waiting for overtures from the college or Ita recruiter, may offer by correspondence and even by telegraph hla athletic services to the blgbest bidder among tbe colleges." For We all catch colds and they can make us miserable; but yours needn't last long if you will do this: Take two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as possible after a cold starts. Stay in the house if you can-keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two of Bayer Aspirin every three or four ho~, if those symptoms of cold persiSt. Take a ~ laxative whe& you retire, and keep bowels open. If throat is sore, dissolve three tablets in a_ quarter-glassful . of. wate~ and gargle. This soothes inflammation and reduces infection. There is nothin~ like Bayer Aspirin for a cold, or sore throat. And It relieves aches and "pains almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer, are absolutely harmless to the heart.

CollE'ge football-the big commer· clalfzed sport of the amateurs-Is no more commercialized than are college baseball, track, soccer, boxing, wrestling, and basketball. And only basketball, of the other sports named, ever gives a college a chance to break even. But football Is commerclallzed-bJ the critics-because It makes money. Mediocrity never attracts attention, but IUCCe&f does. Were the football erowds to gradually dwindle to the size of the turnouts of baseball and track there would be a letup In the cry of the critics.
