 The following editorial appeared in | the Yale News yesterday:
 "The recent action of the presidents | of the Indiana colleges in prohibiting | football at the institutions they repre- | sent is significant of one thing only the power of newspaper rnisrepresenta- tion to sometimes exert a wrong inf1u- ence on the judgments of men who | ought to know better. In view of such | unfair treatment of the game from this | and other sources, it is with special | pleasure that we welcome among the | openly expressed defenders of football | one of the highest educational authori- ! ties of the country-President Harper | of the University of Chicago. In his recent report to the trustees of the uni versity he takes the position that all | outdoor sports are 'elevating' and con tribute more than all other agencies combined toward moral purity and hu- man self-restraint, and says: Woe be- tide the day when our college men, with of every kind besetting them, become so slothful, so demoral- ized, so diseased, as to lose their inter- est in athletics. The university has en- athletic sports; it will contin- ue to encourage them. We believe that this is an important factor of college and university life A statement such as this at such tame, and from such a source is full of encourag cement to all who have the interests of the game at heart"
