Chances with Yale.

Capt. Trenchnrd. of the Princeton foot
ball eleven. is inclined to til" opinion that
the football reform,rs are doing too
much. That Is the Inference to hu drawn
from a remark he made the other day
when he said that the abolition of mo-
mentum plays was about the only change
in tn rules he favored. 81 do not think
football will be any more an open game
next season u "A 1t has been" says MIR.
TrcnCnard. "and | 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

will do any work for several months yet.
