KEEP COLLEGE
FOOTBALL POPULAR

By Btadeat Opiaion
Harveys ef America
AUSTIN, Texas, Dae. 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.

The West team which plays the

when they made their selections
of Southwest Conference men for
the charity fks(f.
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.
J. T. Lang appears to have wea
