Rickey Decries Subsidized Athletics

Branch Rickey (above left), owner and president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, confers with Varsity football coach Dick Harlow after both men addressed the Varsity Club dinner yesterday evening.

Rickey called for a new codification of the amateur status of college football to be made uniformly throughout all conferences in this country. He cited as a starting point the proposed Ivy League rules which demand a balanced relation between college athletics and education.
