Show Is College Football Failing? Football has come to be almost the excuse for the existence of some institutions and a winning eleven the aim and object of the aluminl of many institutions. Hn fact, given a winning gridiron season, the year has been classed a success by those operating some of the colleges and universities of the land. With this general statement of the regard in which triumphant pigskin activities are held it comes as a surprise to hear that St. Marys College, made famous by Its football teams, which have travelled trav-elled from one side of the continent contin-ent to the other, has been soldi at auction because of its inability to pay interest on a debt of $1,370,500 since 1934. Incidentally, it is announced that the college would be leased to its present management and that the football coach would be retained at a salary cf $7,000 a year, plus ten per cent of the gridiron receipts. This shows that, after all, the college col-lege has not lost everything. |
