W—With another;football season ended in all except (he ‘‘bowl” games, the ever lasting question whether college football is giviag w^y to the pn>- fesaiondl game enters into the an nual stock-taking. Three-fourths of American college students be lieve it is not, and more emphati cally, they do not want to see their biggest spoH lose b popularity. Those are the opbbns derived from the second nation-wide poll of the Student Opinion Surveys of America, organised for the sampl- bfjof opinions of ths entire col lege and university enroilment of the United States along scienti fic lines. The Battalion Is one of tki; cooperating campus publica tions in every section of the coun try. This month btprviewing be gan everywhere, including a pro- portional crose section of A. A M. students. Yearly the pro and con of oom- merciallixed football b discussed from all side*. President Hutchins of Chicago leads this time with a current magaxine article propos ing to take profib out of inter- collegeiate football, commenting that the Supreme Court b a case involving gate receipts taxation baa alrpdy indicated that the game is bumness. Coach Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, although he admits b his book “Winning Football” that tip sport is b b critical era, believes subsidisation declining and has no apologies to make for the game. Whatever the downtown barber or the sports editor may have tp say often has little bear ing on what the actual “owners” of football themselves -college stu dents—think about the mater., For the first time the Student Opinion Surveys of America have unified campus opinion on a nat ional scale. Student interviewers from Maine to Florida and Oregon to California, b every part of the country and b schools of all kinds and sizes, have asked, “Do you believe professkmkl football will some day become more popular than college football?” YKS, said lift* NO, said. 75 8% But although oat b every four believes this is liksly to come a- bout. not even that many would like to see such a condition. Only 14A per cent of the men and jaomen attending college today want intercollegiate football to loee the campus flavor, the Survey points out In the Easter and Mid- die and Atlantic states, students, 28 p«r cent of them, think the possibility of professional teams gabbg a greater following is a* cute. In other sections the per centages are much lees. “College football already is semi, professional—the trend is in that direction,” a University of Colora do sophomore declared.

They picked Jack Rhodes of Texas, and Billy Patterson aad Sam Boyd of Baylor. They have three good men there, but they certainly hurt themselves when they failed to give Dick Todd and some of the other seniors of the conference a bid The South, who is going to play a game against the North, also failed to ssk Todd to play.
