Action on a rushing code for 1933 was also* postponed until the College com mittee on Freshman Week makes its report. )R SPORTS \EZDEK STATES Finance Need Named as Cause for Shorter New Schedules athletic director said in accounting for the shortened football and basketball schedules. The smaller schedules are also in line with the economy pro gram, he admitted. Pointing out that other colleges and universities whose football teams boasted better than ordinary records, had suffered decreases in financial returns for the past season, Director Bezdek maintained that a winning team is only one factor in large gate receipts. The general economic con ditions, weather, radio broad casting and development of .other in terests have affected the attendance at intercollegiate football games the past-two years, he said. Abandonment of varsity basketball, baseball, boxing, fencing, swimming, cross country, tennis and golf as well as most or all freshman sports has been the answer of many colleges and universities to decreased financial re turns this year.
