Show Coach Predicts End of Scouting in Football Football scouting some day will be outlawed by the principal educational institutions of the country, in the opinion of Marc S. Catlin, coach of Lawrence college football. When scouting, particularly in football, has been abolished athletics will have been placed on a much higher plane, Catlin says. The present practice is not only costly, he points out, but it defeats the elementary purpose of athletics. "Athletics are intended to develop the mind as well as the body," he contends. "Under the system now employed the player does not ,have to exert his intellectual powers to any great extent. It is a battle of wits between coaches, not players." |
