lite tj dai GRIND cr Ji I elf M Ol tj SUPPLY AND DEMAND There was a time and it wasn't I long ago when the government beg began n regulating this that and ande e everything because ot of war time ex- ex sumptuary regulations were re made b by law the bemoaned the fact but voted for them because they were war time measures Quite rec the they h have ve refused an all such laws on the thea a I grounds that the they are not based on th the law or of supply and demand ince sumptuary legislation has hasl l hg since gone one out ot of stYle It Is rather odd and Interesting to note that Representative t. t G. G Tolton of B Baver aver county has protested upon the floor ot of the house or of representatives ot of Utah the salary being paid I. I J. J Armstrong coach or of the or of Utah His chief I b basis ot of complaint Is that It Is equal t tb the he amount being paid the governor governor gov- gov or of the state and probably greater than the amount being paid or of the states state's greatest edu- edu c tors lt Jt would be folly rolly to say that ed edit edit- cation Is not necessary and that the educators re not worthy or of a reward vard fItting their services Jt H Is just as foolish to say that because ai- ai educator Is paid a certain amount that an athletic coach Is worth just so m much or or ch-or possibly a bit less It Is just as much out or of the way to gauge the salar salary ota ora coach by the salary salar or of a pUblic official They have no relation different duties are entirely There Is no kinship between the I two jobs Coach T. T J Armstrong Is paid a acar year car because his servIces have luwe been such that he Is worth that amount to the University or of Utah and nd to the state lie He has earned It b great work at hIs chosen profession proCession and b by the fact act actS S that he has made himself so valuable alu able t to the state that he can demand demand de- de mand that much money It Is the theold old case or of supply and demand there Is some merit to e Tolton's argument It Is a a. sorry state of affairs that a coach In a a. state In- In should draW as much as the governor or of the state lut why wh blame the coach The TheS S s salary lar or of the governor Is set by the I I te legislature If Ie he isn't worth more than In their delibera- delibera I certainly It isn't the fault Armstrong I if Armstrong Is worth a year ear and the governor Is worth more more then give the tho governor more The boys arid and girls of Chicago have been organizing Slow clubs Probably all ll of o our r favorite jockeys jock jock- y eys at TiJuana have joined up THE HEAVYWEIGHTS Despite the gradual elimination of the heavyweight towards a bout with Gene Tunney worlds world's cham- cham pim some time this summer on ones one's s 's mind Is never fully cleared of doubts Sharkey beat on a a. fluke Jim Maloney Malone beat Jack Delap De- De lap e fairy fairly enough but everyone knows that Delaney Is a bett better r boxer than Maloney ever hopes to ta tabe be be At the same time Gene Tunney t tots the country In vaudeville and de l res that he is willing to meet the logical challenger at any time antI and any place Just who is the logical challenger Is tle question The They have counted out and Maloney l and Sharkey Sarkey in The whole hole mess doesn't measure up to much Shades of John L.
