BELIEVES IN FOOT BALL.
President Gilman of Johns Hopkins
Discusses Athletics.

President Gilman of Johns Hopkins
Discusses Athletics.
President Gilman of Johns Hopkins Un.-
versity addressed large number of the foot
ball enthusiasts of the university yester-
day afternoon, speaking in favor of athlet-
les. He gave a graphic description of the
way foot ball was played on the green at
Yale in his freshman year-the freshman
class at one end of the green, hatless and
coatless; the sophomore class at the other
in similar guise, the ball IN the middle.
There was a wild rush, a hot, struggling,
swaying, kicking throng in a hot scrim-
mage; no rules on either SIDE, the only OBJ
ject to get the ball into the adversaries' ter
ritory.
Il believe in young men exercising them
selves IN healthy athletic games. To show
you how much l believe in this, I Will tell
you that recently received a letter inviting
me to accept the place of one of the vice
presidents upon the occasion of the internal
tfonal athletic contests to he held at Athens,
Greece, in the spring of 1896 and that l
have accepted the honor. There is much
that Is fine in athletic sports, ana all that
Is manly and conducive 10 a strengthening
of muscle, and sound and healthy men
should be encouraged. There are many
ways this can be accomplished. Foot hail
Is one OF the means, and When played as
cording to established ways and saney,
there Is no reason why 1t should be discouI =
aged.
"Of course. foot ball, Us eve.yrh;n:y els,',
may be abused. If played too roughly, men
are apt to be hurt, and if too much time is
given to ones college studies, will unfor-
tunately suffer thereby. But everything
that tends to the development of sound,
healthy bodies Is to be welco n, |; all Ameri-
cans should be pround of ; Ic1 triumph
as that of the Yale athletes recently over
the best athletes the University of Cam
bridge could prolu,a. l am very happy 10

While the Question did very we'll from the

But Rosebery has been what is called Q

his countrymen of his ambition expressed

accomplished the dearest wishes of his
heart for besides wedding Miss Rothschild
he has been prime minister of England and
won the derby twice.
