FU0TBALL.

No doubt there are serious objections
to the game of foot ball as it is now
played. Those of us, whose boys are
masters of this game here, and in
America, are not satisfied with it.
Harry Beecher,, one of Yale's great
players and the Captain of his team
says it should be modified. He says in
the World, that foot ball has been
ever-scienced, plays are attempted
which are perhaps too onerous for the
human frame to stand
Although the mass plays, and the
struggle for the pigskin could not logi-
cally find one enemy. How is this to
be done? Very easily. Forbid inter-
ference that permits of bodily contact
and raise the tackling to the waist :;
the remedies are simple, but it needs
a unanimity of college feeling to put
these reforms into execution. These
rules were prevalent and in force not
many years ago, and the game that
resulted was not only more pleasurable
to watch, but far more interesting to
play"
In presenting the arguments for, and
against the game, one paper parallels
two opinions, as follows:
In the game, mind, muscle, patience,
and forbearance are all brought to
the front, and the greater the player,
the greater the man. Look at any one
of the captains of the big teams, and
you will find gentleman of the
highest attachments Theological stu
dents are apt players and good ones.
The brutally of football exists almost
wholly in the brains of the football
fanatics. Let the game go on. Men
are wanted with strong bodies, bright
minds, and whole-souled natures
Buffalo Courier Record.
The most exciting feature of the
annual football game between Wes-
leyan University of Middletown and
Trinity College, played on Trinity's
grounds here Saturday afternoon, was
the smuggling of Townsend, Wesleyan's
left guard, in the first half. He
seemed to have lost his head entirely,
and was set down by the spectators
as a man who had been training for
the prize ring. Johnson, unable to
longer endure the punishment, was
returning a blow, when the referee
looked that way, and both men, to-
gether with Captain Young of Yves
leyan, were removed from the field
by the referees orders. Townsend is
a Methodist clergyman in good stand
ing. He lost control not only of his
muscles, but of his tongue, and verbal
ly castigated all Trinity College in
way which made people shudder.-

Prof. Shaler, in discussing racial
questions, says it is surprising to see
how naturally and strongly we develop

on the subject, but it is not difficult
to see that public opinion calls for
some change in the game.

We print elsewhere a brief ac-
count of Booker T. Washington,
called by many "the foremost ne

own salvation. This rule of life he
learned from his HAMPTON teacher.
The men who now deal most in

THE PRAYING CRIMINALS.

Some of the testimony in the
late trial for murder, furnishes an
interesting psychological study.
The prisoner. Kapea, now convict
ed of the killing of DR.. Smith, tes-
titled that just before proceeding
to commit the murder, he and
KaiO and Iosepa, engaged in
prayer in Kaio's home. Kaio, now
convicted as an accessory before
the fact, offered a prayer in the
native language. The nature of
the prayer we do not know. But
Kapea testified that he repeated
the Lords prayer. He said that he
knew of no other prayer. He had
received some Sunday school edu-
cation. The interesting question
is, and it is not without value,
what were the mental processes
that lead up to such a singular
act? There was no evidence that
Kapea was in any way morally
irresponsible" On the contrary,
he had shown his clear sense of
the crime by trying to conceal it
afterwards. What then was the
mental process by which he and
Kaio fortified themselves with
prayer, and especially the Lords
prayer, before committing a most
revolving crime? There must have
been some vague purpose in it.
We may call it a perverted
moral sense" but that does not
explain it. There was no reason
ing power displayed. That is GER
tain, and yet, the men had reason
ing power enough to know that
they had committed a crime. We
suggest the case as most inter
esting study in psychology.
