It's only natural the veteran alarmist would view that fact with misgivings. Where, he mutters, does that money go? He, as a taxpayer, has a legitimate question, and one that should be answered for the fu ture welfare of the game. To begin with, football is frankly commercial. All college athletics at which gate admissions are charged are commercial. Anything that costs money to conduct is commercial. And it does cost money to promote and further college athletics. Granted that it didn't cost the Big Ten $2,000,000 for football in 1938. But every penny of the money taken in at stadium turnstiles last fall is going back into athletic programs. The only sources of income for the athletic department are the receipts of athletic contests. Of those sources football Is the only sport to make any appreciable profit. Basketball, over a course of yean, may hold Its own, or even do a little better than that Occasion ally at a school some other sport may end up In the black as a result of some unusual local condition. But the rest of the intercollegiate program track, swimming, wres tling, baseBall, tennis, golf, etc. are almost entirely dependent upon football receipts for maintenance. The sports dependent on football for their existence are the ones that provide competition and healthful activity for the thousands of stu dents who are not football players. Many will answer this argument by saying that those sports would not be nearly as costly if they were conducted on strictly an intramural basis. This does not necessarily hold true. Golf courses, tennis courts, intramural football fields and baseball diamonds must be built and maintained for the benefit of the student body as a whole. In many schools football also supports the general physical education pro gram. Commercialism is sometimes a condition to be welcomed, even in scholastic circles.

It was on February 5, 1918, on the army cargo transport U. S. S. Hatteras that it happened. Jim Evrard had joined the navy as a radio operator in 1917, and here he was on the Hatteras, somewhere out in the Atlantic ocean. The Hatteras had sailed a week or so before, from Hampton Roads, Va. A few days out of port she had run into a bad storm that had wrecked her steering gear and left her wallowing The captain had dropped both of the ship's helplessly in three-to- n anchors.

That's where Jim Evrard comes Into the story. Jim was a radio operator, but in a pinch, aboard ship, everybody turns to and lends a hand. And Jim was sent down Into the chain lockers with a lad named Pierey and another lad named White, to lay anchor chain. I guess that sort of calls for a word of explanation. The chain lockers on the Hatteras were a couple of rooms eight feet square, just below deck, up at the bow of the ship. They were used, of course, to stow the anchor chains In while they were not In nse. Up on the deck, a big winch was hauling in the starboard anchor, and as the chain came In, It was passed through a hole In the deck, down into the chain locker. Well, sir, if that chain were just allowed to lie in the locker any way it landed, it would tangle and snarl next time the anchor was dropped. It had to be laid in a neat coil as it came down, and that's what Jim, and Piercy, and White were doing down there that fateful February day that Old Lady Adventure had picked out to give three sailors the scare of their lives. A Choppy Sea Made Footing Insecure. By that time, all three of them were pretty tired. The chain, with its big ten and a half inch links, was heavy. The sea was still choppy, making their footing none too sure. But they worked away at the port chain until the coil rose high in the locker. Finally the chain stopped corning in. They could tell by the size of their coil that the anchor was up and out of the water and ready to be heaved on deck. The three lads had stopped work, and leaning, each in a different corner of the cramped locker, bracing themselves against the pitching and tossing of the ship. "We were waiting for orders to go baek up on deck," says Jim, "but the order was slow la coming. Imagine our surprise when we saw the anchor chain begin to pay out again. It moved slowly at first, and then quite rapidly. After several seconds of watching It Increased its speed, we realized to our horror that the chain was running wild!" j And those lads had good reason to be horrified. Great loops of heavy chain began whipping In long swings, striking the sides of the locker. Faster and faster it went, and wider and wider were i the loops that lashed out on all sides. was with terrific "It force," says Jim. "If it hit us, It swinging would break our bones like cardboard, or crush our skulls as if they were egg shells. And there we stood, not daring to move out of our cornerswondering when the flying mesh of steel was going to whip in after us wondering when a chance lurch of the ship was going to throw us off balance out into the path of that whirling mass of metaL The Noise of the Links Was Like a Death Knell. "The din was terrific. Our prison waa small, and we could feel the wind on our faces as the chain flew by. In wider and wider arcs it swung. The links, as they hit the walls, sounded like the beats of a death knell to all of us. I wanted to faint, but I didn't dare. Powerless to do anything at 'all, I kept my mind on the one thing that might save me standing right where I was in the scant protection the corner of the room afforded me." Loop after loop whipped Its way around the little locker and spun on np through the bole In the top. Only a few more of those loops to go now. Then they'd all be safe. Jim watched those last few loops go, and breathed a prayer of thanksgiving. They WERE safe. Over in their own corners stood White and Pierey, chalky-facebut unhurt. Then they called to the officers np on deck, who by that time, doubted If any of them were alive. The cause of the trouble,' they had found, had been Old Man Neptune himself. A roll of the ship had thrown over the anchor chock, and another roll had caused the engineer to slip and throw the anchor winch out of gear. "The anchor had to be raised again," says Jim, "but we weren't sent down to lay the chain.
