TOO MUCH TRAINING.
EX-CAPTArN EMMoNs THINKS THE STRAIN

EX-CAPTAIN EMMoNs THINKS THE STRAIN OF
FOOTBALL AS NOW PLAYED Is TOO GREAT
Boston, March If the game of football IS 70

Graduates Magazine" out to-day, the colleges
must begin It's reformation Immediately. The needei
reforms. he continues, must be conducted aohS

reduction Of the notorety. publicity and expehd-
ture and elimination of the Objectionable FEATURES
of the game Itself Excessive training is defined as
playing hard" football for month in the spring.
q fortnight In the summer and for ten weeks In the
fall. This. he saws should be- abolished with the
exception of ten weeks work in the fall. AS a
remedy for the unpleasant notoriety, amounting
almost to professionalism. the tendency Of which Is
10 bring the game into the same place with the
prize ring. he suggests that the games be made ex-
elusive No should be sod TO any but college
graduates and undergraduates or to those holding
some sort Of guest tickets while the college matches
should be held on college grounds for college people
Extravagance from start to finish. he depores as
wrong and particularly where a team clears
$4,000 and spends $1,000 during fall.
Regarding the Objectionable features of the game
itself Mr. Emmons says the game must be rough
one and NAV be brutal But roughness. ne
declares is only Objectionable in so far as 1t leads
serious injury. As for brutality, intentional
vicious roughness, that is Objectionable at AL times
Tho playing rules must be reformed, but no amount
of reform can accomplish anything until the rules
are efectual and better provision Tor ther ENFORCE

As a remedy for brutality the penalty should be
immediate disqualification. This DISQUALIFICATION
should last for year at least until revoked py tne
athletic committee of two colleges. or course, no
amount of ruling will do away with viciousness.
That can only be done by the spirit OF far play
