THE FOOTBALL CULT: BY AN UNBELIEVER.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You report President Patton as saying that In
his opinion PrncetOns universally large freshman class
of the present year represents increase largely due
to the success Of the football team last fall THIS
opinion seems TO me doubly unfortunate one, as
not at all representing the facts, and as anything
but credtable, IL true.
The glory of football is mere scab, which will
soon drop Off, and which at any rate is glory OF
most doubtful character. The presumption that 10
means manliness will not last long. The opinion
that 1t physical culture will be proved ridiculous
whenever the study of physiology reaches clear
view of what real culture Is and what sham physical
culture.
The sham conld not be worse than In tho
brutal excess of injurious exertion required by
football as the college teams play tia Wild
West show Of outrage upon both athletic and gen.
tlemanly culture. 1t would he difficult to invent a
method Of going double quick to the devil, body and
manners certain than this ferocity Of competl-
ton on the football field, which admirable college
presidents like Dwight at Yale and Patton at Prince
ton become ecstatic
1t Is peculiarly absurd, either at Yale or at Prince
ton to point to football in any way indicative Of
the position Of either COLLEGE. The two institutions
stand together representatives Of extraordinary in
tcectual manliness, without the smallest reference
TO football, to that other scuie OF barbaTisn IN
sport, baseball The refinement and ethical purity OF
this manliness. as yoa may note It IN any great
with football and will not go when football shall
have ceased to deude and dsfgure and degrade.
The problem Of athletics is not yet solved. An
eminent physician, whose condemnation of the exist
Ing system Is distinct and sweeping, has said with
substantial justice, that "Outside Of movements to
expand the lungs, gymnastics are positive injury"
II may be most reasonably doubted whether the sys
tenn would sacrifice human health and life more than
IL now does If football team simply meant that the
men should draw lots for life to be offered TO
the Internal gods. The heroism called for would be
terribly genuine well as fearfuy pagan, and might
be thought to have drawing effect where 1t was
most conspicuously shown. But, happily, we are not
pagan. and there Is valid reason for our being
semi-barbarous, through vulgar sport utterly con-
trary to sound knowledge of the human body and its
laws. EDWARD I. TOWNE
