CHARGES AGAINST FOOTBALL DENIED BY PRINCETON DEAN

Dean Christian Gauss of Princeton, backed strongly by President Hibben, stood forth yesterday against the American Association of University Professors which found that football is a menace to morals and education, when he stated that, "football, properly coached and conducted, is a healthy and wholesome sport for players and spectators. I wish, we could play it the year around."

Agreeing with the professor's report that the primary aim of all colleges should be the training of the mind, Dean Gauss, nevertheless held that, "Football is one of the healthiest academic avocations, and I have known many stars who were Phi Beta Kappa men."

The Princeton dean asserted, in opposition to the professor's blaming football for increased drinking and dishonesty, that in a year as dean in that university not a single player had come before him for discipline.
