Proposes Limiting Football Schedules
And Reducing Period of Eligibility
CLEVELAND, O.—Limitation of in
tercollegiate schedules, reduction of
intercollegiate athletic eligibility to
one or two years, organization of
two or more teams in each sport, and
endowment of college athletics were
proposed as possible means of reduc
ing emphasis on intercollegiate foot
ball by Prof. Joseph E. Raycroft,
speaking before the American Asso
ciation of University Professors
here.
Prof. Raycroft, chairman of the
association’s committee on student
health and athletics, admitted none
of the proposals were original with
him, but said he believed them the
best of the many solutions being of
fered in the widespread discussion of
the problem.
He indicated little alarm over the
situation, saying there was a general
decrease of interest in intercollegiate
football on the part of the under
graduates themselves, who often pre
ferred other diversions while big
games -were going on.
“I think the next five years will
find considerable improvement in the
condition,” he said, “ as is already
being evidenced in a number of in
stitutions.
“The plan of Dr. Nicholas Murray
Butler, of Columbia university, to
have the alumi endow undergraduate
sports, both intercollegiate and intra
mural,” the Princeton professor said,
“ was an old plan 30 years ago. It
was then proposed by Dr. Charles R.
Harper, the first - president of the
University of Chicago.
Although the organization took no
official action on Prof. Raycroft’s
suggestion, there was considerable in
formal discussion of the entire ath
letic situation.
Discover Dinosaur
Tracks In Canada
OTTAWA, Canada-—Discovery of
footprints of dinosaurs along the
Peace River in British Columbia,
among the foothills of the Rockies,
is believed here to throw new light
on the life and habits of these prehis
toric monsters.
The footprints were of five different
species of the animals, the animals
ranging in size from 12 feet long to
35 feet long.
At that time, when the animals liv
ed, the section in which their foot
prints have been found, was tropical
in climate, and was on the shore of a
great salt water sea which stretched
northward from the present Gulf of
Mexico to the Arctic Circle.
The discovery was made 475 miles
north of the international boundary
line.
