Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH IPS? The Amateur Colleges TpHERE are now probably eighl - or 10 strictly amateur colleges or universities in the United States. The others are either semi-pr- o or strictly pro in many de-tails. There is at least a taint of pro-fessionalism connected with any & r j f college that prose-lytes, solicits or gives out a scholar-ship or a dime to any athlete. Only those colleges that treat an athlete as they would a lead-ing math or Eng-lish scholar come under this heading. Which are these GrantlandRice few colleges? We first contacted Jim Gregg, an alumnus of Sewanee, the university that started the pure amateur plan. Sewanee has had its day of glory from 1892 ' to 1936. It has had its great teams, its leading stars Simkins, Lanier, Lex Stone, Harris Cope, Rex Kilpat-ric- k (brother of the general, and much bigger) Kirby-Smit- etc. "But," as Jim Gregg put it, "Sewanee decided in the win-ter of 1945-19- that 'big-tim- e football' didn't belong in scheme of scholastio life. The athlete was to be treat-ed as any other student. "Sewanee had no fault to find with other universities. We simply believed that subsidized football was not for us. Then the problem of a schedule came up. We finally lined up Centre, Mississippi college, Presbyterian, Hendrix, Maryville, Hampden Sydney and Kenyon. Only one of these failed to keep its agreement. Hendrix dropped out because the cost of traveling to Sewanee and Millsaps was added. "We tried to get others to join us such as Washington and Lee, Davidson and- the Citadel, but they declined to leave the Southern conference because they claimed they needed the money they re-ceived from big guarantees, and also they were afraid of their own alumni groups. We'll get more fol-lowers eventually. "Gate receipts are unimportant. (As we understand it, there are no gate receipts. Possibly nominal ones against the $4 and $5 collect-ed today.) Football at Sewanee cost the university $19,000 in place of the $500,000 or $1,000,000 that Michigan, Notre Dame and others earn from the sport. Foot-ball is simply treated as Latin, English and math are treated a necessary part of a university's curriculum." In other words, Sewanee's educational course wasn't ar-ranged to strengthen the Bears, Packers, Giants, Eagles, and Forty-Niners- ,- where four years of college Is a waste of time. Not a bad thought. "Sewanee has about the right idea," Johnny Kieran says. "Only if they will do the right and smart thing and abolish gate receipts you won't have to bother with foot-ball pay rolls or proselyting. Let the public in free. This settles all arguments." It is the only way that all argu-ments will ever be settled. I still don't believe college football was started to bring in $500,000 or a $1,000,000 a year to university funds, through its winning teams, frequently built up at any price. Big Ten Again? There is a chance that the Big Nine will become the Big Ten again. If this happens, the new member will be Michigan state. Why not? Michigan state today has 15,000 students. It also has one of the best football layouts in the game, a new stadium that can handle 0 spectators, the most modern one yet built. In Dr. John A. Hannah, it might also be noted that Michigan state has one of the leading college presi-dents of the country, whose slant on football is sound. The Big Nine was also the Big Nine in 1908. That is the year when Michigan revolted. The Wolverine? stayed out un-til 1917 when they finally re-turned to the fold. The Big Ten stuck until Chicago university abolished football, and ever since then there have been at-tempts by several outsiders to take Chicago's place. The Big Nine has been in no hurry to make it the Big Ten again. But, if there is any change, Michigan state is almost certain to be the one selected. Michigan state avid Michigan are something like California and U. C. L. A. The first two are state uni-versities in Michigan, just as the two others are state universities in California. Beaten only by Michigan and Notre Dame, Michigan state has known one of its best seasons this fall. It has a better team than several members of the Big Nine have, including Indiana, Wiscon-si- i and probably Iowa. t ' i (. '.-- V t' t.Iillt . .

Yule Record Begins In Fifth Century There is no mention of a Chris-tian observance of December 25 as Christmas before the fifth century. There is, in fact, no record to in-dicate what date Jesus was born. Various researchers have set the day as January 6, March 25, May 20. April 19 and November 17. In order to win Christian converts away from their observance of the pagan mid-wint- festival, early churchmen induced them to ob-serve the birth of Christ Jesus at that time instead. Thus December 25 came to be established as Christ-mas. toni- c- ' v I skitr' , esfo: nigh ; nisui j f ta--.: 1 Man! i ; si 6ira:. i4' J EJ Bi 'LB IVi ifi,. W. i v H "LOOIE" . . . Sgt.

Christmas Toys For Every Need Be a careful shopper when you select Christmas toys. Just as there are different types of toys for each age level, so there are toys that serve different pur-poses fa each age group. There are manipulative toys, toys for physical development, balance and skill, toys for dramatic, imag-inative play, toys to teach arts and handicrafts, and toys to encourage an interest in nature, science, hob-bies and pets. A child needs some of each in the form best adapted to his age level. Toys for babies should be selected primarily from the standpoint of safety. They should have no sharp edges, no loose parts small enough to be swallowed. Animals with eyes glued or pinned on, toys covered with poisonous paint or made of glass or china are taboo. The best choice is something that can be washed when it becomes soiled. Real Santa Claus A Youthful Saint The name of Santa Claus is mere-ly slurring the Dutch San Nicholas, which is, of course, St. Nicholas. American children are probably the only ones who say it exactly that way. Nicholas was an actual person. He was Bishop of Myra, in Lycia, Asia Minor, in the first part of the fourth century. He was also the youngest bishop in the history of the church. From the day of his birth Nicho-las revealed his piety and grace. He refused on fast days to take the natural nourishment of a child. But Nicholas was not a barefoot recluse vowed to poverty. His fa-ther was a wealthy merchant, and his riches enabled him to be a dis-penser of the good things of life. The feast of St. Nicholas was originally celebrated on December 6. Later, when church people in the late Middle Ages tried to suppress the festivities which grew up around the Boy Saint's day, bis festival came to be associated with Christmas day. 1 " ' ; ' I i I'. ;f - y i I ; ' J y '.V ) I 1 V ' K'r ' ' j I ?

Great Royal Feasts Once Marked Yule A modern Christmas dinner is a mere "snack" compared to the royal Yule banquets of Kings and Queens in history. For one of Edward Ill's Christ-mas feasts 2,000 oxen were pre-pared. The guests ate as much as they could and the vast leftovers were distributed to anyone who happened to come along. Edward was the first English king to em-ploy French cooks for a Christmas feast. When Henry III spent Christmas of 1241 at Gloucester, he ordered the sheriff to buy 20 large salmon to put into pies for the Christmas dinner. Richard II feasted 10,000 people at a banquet in 1399. He kept more than 1,000 cooks, each of whom specialized in one kind of food. N f" '" "" "' "" " " ""J Mill V Y--i . ; Uj, si ? V I ! STA SWELTERS . . .

Mrs. Rose Maselauskes, of Chicago, makes bird cages and geometric figures of straw to trim the Lithuanian Christmas tree, Hang Stockings For Santa Claus Why have stockings come to be a - traditional receptacle for Christ-mas gifts? Although historians can give no authentic answer, they point out that children's stockings are usual-ly hung by the chimney to keep warm or dry out, so it was natural that Santa Claus should pick them as the place in which to deposit gifts. In certain regions of France it is the shoe that is put out on Christ-mas Eve. Some authorities say that shoes and stockings were put near the fireplace for the same reason that an old boot was asso-ciated with a wedding in order to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits. 1 ft i j 6itrett Donald Langdon i ""J ll' J?
