AGAINST FOOTBALL.
ACTION TAKEN BY LEGISLATIVE
BODIES ON THE NATTER.
CANNOT BE PLAYED IN GEORGIA
WHAT GOVERNOR JONES, OF AR
KANSAS, HAS To SAY.
The Question Regarding Its Suppress
sion by Law IL One That IL Be-
ing Widely Discussed in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Long Ago.
CANNOT BE PLAYED IN GEORGIA

The question of whether football is bru-
tai to an extent that will warrant its sup
preston by law is one that is being dis
cusseG and argued from one extreme OK
the country to the other. 1t is one that
has been brought up again and again with
III the past few years., and it Is likely to
keep up.
Football Is, has always been, and always
will be. a rough game. Properly played.
and devoid of all foul play, it is a game
of hard knocks. bruises. strains; Il game
requiring good physical qualifications,
cuickness. grit.
Agitation Not New.
That the agitation against tho game Is
not new is shown by the following acts
of the Scotch parliament, which were
passed in 1857 and 1881:
Decorated and ordained that the fute-
ball and golf be utterly cryit dawn ard
"Futeball and golfe forbidden. Item. it
Is statut and ordainit that in ma place Of
the realme there be usit futeball. collie or
luther six Improbable sports . under
parliament, 1i91.
Governor of Arkansas on Football.
One of the most recent utterances on the
subject is from Governor Jones, of Ar
karsas. He is the first chief magistrate
to disapprove of the game of football: In
II " u -. ~. DuSiltiLidA vi tiiO
state university at Fayetteville. he takes
the recent game between the Fort Smith
and the State University teams as a test,
and strongly condemns the sport as bru-
tai. and recommends that there be a stop
put altogether to the playing Of the game
by the students of the state university.
The governor is ex-ofiicio president of the
state university board of trustees. In his
letter to Mr.. Buchanan. Governor Jones
says:
Il think the game of football as now
MA we'd iS :. hrllfal snort fronphf u-tfh rI1Ph
danger to those playing it, and altogether
out of harmony with a proper educational
s. stem.
I'm my opinion the higher civilization
which We profess. is entirely inconsistent
with the federation of such a game. and
therefore it being expedient to call a meet
ing C: the board of trustees, I deem it my
duty to call your attention to this matter
and respectfully suggest that you put a
stop altogether to the playing of this game
by the students of the state university.
The best interests of the university, I
think. clearly demand this, and l hope
you will take this matter at once into Sc
r.ous consideration
