Athletics Big Business
Figures recently released by ath-
letic of
Notre Dame University reflect the
statement that athletics, at least at
that school, are really big business.
and school authorities
During the past fifteen
Notre Dame has profited by some
three and a half million dollars
from its athletic program, most or
all of the profit coming from foot-
ball. That amount of athletic profit
has been spent for additions and
improvements in the physical plant
of the school.
Last fall Notre Dame took in
over $524,000 in football receipts
and other income will swell that
total to some $560,000 for the cur-
rent school year. It cost the school
approximately $312,000 to run its
athletic program, leaving a net
years
profit for the University’s general!
¢fund of nearly a quarter million
dollars.
Notre Dame officials made the
frank report to dispel the idea that
the athletic program “Made a mil-
lion a year”. Notre Dame is the
best drawing ecard in the United
States and perhaps takes in more
money from football than any
school in the country.
It should be remembered that
football paid for all the other
Notre Dame athletic and physical
education program, with the ex-
ception of scattered additional re-
ceipts. Additional football profits
have gone into the building and im-
provement of a great educational
institution. That’s another mark
on the credit side of the football
ledge. And congratulations to
Notre Dame for making its records
public.
New Coaching Line-up
Athletic Director Homer Nonont That leaves the line-up as fol-
has announced the new alignment
of his coaches to fill the gaps left
by the departure next fall of H. R.
”Hub” McQuillan and Harry Faulk-
ner. McQuillan had been coaching
varsity basketball and freshman
football while Faulkner handled
freshman baseball, the “B” foot-
ball squad and a big slice of foot-
ball scouting. McQuillan was also
one of the football scouting main-
stays.
Marty Karow will move from
varsity baseball to varsity basket-
ball as head coach, with Lil Dim-
mitt taking over the baseball
reins. Manning Smith and Charley
DeWare will act as co-coaches of
freshman football, basketball and
baseball. That part of the football
scouting formerly handled by Mec-
Quillan and Faulkner will be divid-
ed among other members of the
staff next fall.
lows: Varsity football, Homer Nor-
ton head coach, Bill James line
coach, J. W. Rollins end coach
and Marty Karow backfield coach;
Basketball, Karow; Baseball, Dim-
mitt; Track, Rollins; all freshman
sports, Smith and DeWare. Dim-
mitt will continue to serve as train-
er during the fall and winter.
Both Karow and Dimmitt are
experienced in their new sports.
Marty won cage letters at Ohio
State and coached both freshman
and varsity basketball while at
Texas University. Dimmitt has
been closely connected with base-
ball for many year, coaching teams
at Southwestern University, Beau-
mont High and Lamar Junior Col-
lege. He was secretary of the Beau-
mont Texas League baseball club
for several years and has scouted
| for the Detroit Tigers.
New Rules — Old Basketeers
“What would one of the old bas-{
ketball stars of twenty years ago
do under ptesent court rules,” writ-
es an inquiring fan. It’s a hard
question to answer, particularly
since this column believes that in
general present day athletes are
far ahead of the older stars. Not
‘that the older Ten lacked physical
ability, but their training was not
as intense and usually started af-
ter they entered college whereas
today’s star usually starts in gram-
mar school under good coaching.
Moreover, he HAS to be better to-
day to make good, and that’s a
powerful stimulant.
But basketball may be a little

different because the rules today
are mostly in favor of the offense
and particularly in favor of the
“Hot-Shot” high scorer. A. L.
“Todda” Forbes, '21, was a ter-
rific scorer back in the days when
everything went but the strangle
hold. His old teammates believe
he would ring up & new scoring
record under today’s rules where
a hard look means a personal foul.
Or imagine them letting Gene Dar-
by, ’25, stand out around the foul
line and calmly take his shot. He
was “deadly even further out on
the floor back in his playing days.
~ Basketball is far more skillful
than of yore, and one handed push
shots are entirely new to the old-
er generation of players. But there
were a few high scoring hot-shots
a generation ago who might make
today’s scoring record look small
if they had the kind of protection
today’s rule interpretations give to
| the offensive man.
