COLLEGE ATHLETES SHOULD NOT BE BARRED Ann Arbor, Mich , Jan. 20. "I can hardly see tho Justice ln barring men from participating ln college athletics when they have played professional baseball, while many of the debaters on university teams aro men who have taken money on the lecture platform or ln the pulpit," declared F.ranch Rickey, former major league player and nowly hired coach for the University of Michigan, to them. "I bolleve a successful system could be devised whereby college students stu-dents could play baseball during the summer months, earn money to help them through the winter and at tho same time retain their standing as amateurs. Every man who works with university teams should, above oil, be a bona fide student That Is the primary requirement, Today many men are kept out of college athletics Just because they take the legitimate funds to carry them throuch the college year.
