Foot BAH a Preparation for the Battle
of Life.

5~N-N
of Life.
TO the Editor of the Press:
Permitame space to say fews..words in
praise of the fine work done by the Port
land High School football eleven as evil
denced by their superior playing this
season.
In eleven games which they have
played they have won seven and lost
four. Considering the fact that this is
the first year that the P. HIS. has COM
peted with other schools in the State the
record is one of which they may well
feel proud That this result is largely
due to the efforts of their manager and
teacher, Mr.. Simpson, all admit.
In competing with the Bangor High
School eleven they have had to play
against team two-thirds of which was
made up of graduates from that school
who to cover the letter of the law, were
granted certificates of membership in the
school as attendants on a post graduate
course. This course was Instituted for
that especial purpose, as one OF these
same post graduates was candid enough
to admit to the writer.
The game played Wednesday in Water
vile and also the one played in Bangor
were not played upon fields that enabled
the p. II. S. team to show their best abiIl-
ties as the mud on both fields was ankle
deep thereby enabling the greater weight
of the Bangor team to gain ground in
all massed plays.
AS graduate of the P. II. S. I feel
proud of the good record made by the
football team of 'e3, showing as it does
that our boys have the same laudable
desire to excel in athletic sports that
scholars have in other parts of the coun-
try.
AS parent I have been somewhat
criticised for allowing my son to play on
football team. | suppose I have as
much solicitude for the welfare of my
sons anatomy as any other parent, but
/ realize that at the age when they cease
to be boys and can hardly be called men
it seems necessary to provide youth with
some outlet for superabundance of
physical energy. From my knowledge
of football as a game it not only does
this, but has tendency to give him
aIertness, quickness of sight and judg-
ment,and besides, what is of paramount
Importance when he comes to battle in
business life it teaches him to control
his temper when rough play sometimes
causes his anger to rise.
1t must be admitted that footall is
rough game; but 1t is not brutal one
as seems to be the general impression.
A study of the rules of the game and the
character of the participants will con-
vince one of that.
If an interscholastic football league is
to be formed for the purpose of deter
mining the championship of the State
each year it would seem best to introduce
a rule to the effect that on all teams none
shall be eligible for membership except
bona fide undergraduates. If such a
rule had been adopted this year the P.
HIS. eleven would now hold the cham
pionship as all their members are I'M
dergraduates.

The football reporter of the Boston
Herald remarks that it is very unfortu-
nate that one of the Harvard football
players should receive serious injury
just at the time the Harvard overseers
were about to make an investigation to
determine whether the football game
was dangerous. It is unfortunate that the
young man should be injured, but the
time of the injury adds nothing to the
misfortune. If it had got. to come it had
better. come at this. time, when the atten-
tion of the overseers and the public will
be fixed upon it.

upon by those gentlemen before he left

this beyond all question.

Gov. Greenhalge of Massachusetts, has
decided that as soon as possible after
the assem- bling of the Fifty-third Con-
gress he will call together a conference
of the Republican Governors of New
England, including Governor CIeayes of
Maine, Governor Fuller of Vermont,
Governor Smith of New Hampshire.
Governor Brown of Rhode Island and
himself, to consider the present condition
of the country, and determine what
steps, if any, should be taken to conserve
and. advance the interests OF the New
England States. Whether such a con-
ference as is proposed would accomplish
much is doubtful. The South is in the
saddle, and the disposition of that section
toward New England is not friendly.
Indeed we are inclined to think that if
any changes are made in the Wilson bill
in its passage through the House sand
Senate those changes are likely to be to
the detriment of New England. Coal and
iron are very likely to go back to the
dutiable list at the demand of Alabama
and West Virginia, which will deprive
New England of about the only feature
in the bill which is beneficial to it.
