A MOVE AGAINST FOOT BALL.
One College Which May Prohibit the
Rough sport.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 2.-The
faculty of the University of Califor-
MIA are considering an order pro-
hibiting any more Intercollegiate
foot ball games. Those favoring the
order object to the contest because
the personal injuries that result from
the game interfere with studies of
the students, the effect on the spec
tators which they say is similar to
that produced by witnessing a bull
fight, and the greed tor gain which
is engendered by the business-like
manner in which the contests are
conducted. Foot ball, they say, has
become a business, not a sport.
Much of the opposition to the game
comes from professors who are
friendly to athletics, and who say
there is no objection to inter-colleg-
late competition in other sports.
