...Spoladic reports last fall from Ohio--where commercialized football has taken deep root--gave hint of what might happen with the professional system flourishing on a large scale. Collegians, still in college, but having completed their three years in football, played under assumed names, and the fame of certain gridiron heroes was exploited with nothing but gate receipts in mind. One of the leading conference coaches recently expressed to me his theory that Wisconsin's chances had been injured by the fact of some of Withington's assistants running off each Saturday evening to play Sunday football with professional teams...

...matter, for not only students, but hundreds of thousands of men who earn their living by travelling, lose a vote enlightened by wider observation of conditions than is possible to their stay-at-home neighbors. But the solution does not lie in permitting them to vote wherever they may happen to be, even for President. The voters of Cambridge will on next Tuesday cast a ballot not for the Presidential nominee, but for an elector pledged to vote for a certain Presidential nominee, and for electors at large from the state. The elector chosen for the district in which...
