TRENCHARD ON FOOTBALL.
The Captain Thinks the Reform
ers Are Doing Too Much.
highlands Opinion of Harvard's
Chances with Yale.

Capt. Trenchard, Of the Princeton foot
ball eleven, is inclined to the opinion that
the football reformers are doing too
much. That Is the inference to be drawn
from n remark he made the other day
when he said that the abolition Of mo-
plays was about the only change
in the rules he favored. II do not think
football will be any more an open game
next season than 1t has been" says Mr..
Trenchard. 'and l sincerely hope 1t will
not be. If football is made an open
game it will become n game which pro-
fessionals and teams outside of the col
loges can master and will take to. 1t
would then be only n matter of time
when outside teams would play as well
as the college teams. That would de
tract from the interest in the college
games. and football would no longer be
distinCtiveiy a college game.
AS an illustration of this take base

with football. believe that with the
exception of doing away with the mo-
mentum plays the game should be al
lowed to remain as II Is. Men are not
apt to get hurt If they are in condition.

men only-that is, candidates for the
vacant positions of quarterback and
~full-hack. None of the regular teams
will do any work for several months yet.
