"Lone Star" Dietz, Mentor of Boston Redstins Predicts Close Encounter -- Pro Football Cleaner

"It's a pretty hard job to decide how to place the money in Harvard's game with Holy Cross tomorrow," was the verdict of "Lone Star" Dietz, mentor of the Boston "Redskins" professional football team when reached last night by telephone. "Harvard has a very good team this year but so has Holy Cross. It certainly will be an interesting match in any event."

Mr. Dietz is well qualified in football to make a guess as to the outcome of the game tomorrow, for he has a wealth of college football experience behind him. He himself played in the Stadium on Carlisle teams in 1907-11 when Carlisle won two of the games and later was assistant coach of his Alma Mater. The United States is his special territory in football coaching experience, since he has helped teams at Washington State, Purdue, Stanford and in numerous high schools.

"Professional football, I really believe, is much cleaner than college football," "Lone Star" continued in response to a query, "and it's clean for the reason that the pre players are fighting for their livelihood and any breach of the unwritten law results in the players being ganged. Among professionals there is a fact agreement not to resort to dirty factics. Because of this the coaches teach the players how to work just as effectively by playing clean. The men-cooperate by keeping in training and taking a genuine interest in the game. The result is that the game is speeded up and penalties are reduced.

"The one disadvantage of pro football is the fact that there are no built up schedules and therefore the teams are forced to play powerful opponents in the opening games of the season. We have played strong teams on four consecutive Sundays, and in several midweek games. That is too much."
