CONTEMPORARY OPINION
GAME OF FOOTRALL.


AS we have recently said, it is not
the few fatalities, but the many injur-
les. which constitute the soundest OBJ
lection to the modern style of play.
The list Of recent casualties IS numer-
ically appalling, and though too much
Importance has been caralessly or in
sincerely attributed to the length of the
catalogue, inasmuch as In a large per-
cent age of cases the hurts recOunted
are trivial and incapable of producing
lasting effects, the sum Of serious injur-
les entailing more or less interruption
of studies In addition TO the pain and
cost of cure is unwarrantably large
Moreover it is a fact not to be ignored
that an injury from which a quick and
complete recovery seems to have been
maze may have remoter consequences
wnich cannot be fOrseen on perhaps
accurately traced back to their source.
IL the notifications which are ad-
vOcared by many expert football play
ers Of former years, and by not n few
who are now members of college teams,
would make the game safer only by
destroying It's interest for contestants
and spectators, there would be more
reason in attempting to prove that It's
advantages as a means of physical de-
volopment and moral discipline out
weigh its faults But there appears 10
be little need of discussing that ques-
zion, so long as a multitude of good
| judges insist that the open game Il
moro enjoyable and not less skillfu
than the game Of mass plays.-NeV

rnIcn or rHE crrIEs HEARD.

The Post Office Department at

of the Eastern cities that the delivery
facilities shall not be curtailed- The
original order was to so into effect on
February /, but so great was the pro
test against it that It has been held in
abeyanoe. and IS not likely TO ever be-
come operative.
This will give the House Of Repre-
sentatives time for action upon post
tai deficiency, and the officials OF the
department hope that the money asked
for win be granted and thus obviate
any necessity to reduce expenses by
cutting down the force Of carriers
AS a matter of fact the order was
originally promulgated to bring more
forcibly to the mind OF Congress the
financial needs of the department 1t
was a shrewd move, and Is likely to
have the effect intended. What the
voice of the officials could not obtain,
the voice OF the cities Of the East Will
obtain because 1t has been Of such GER
tain sound that the congressman can
not ignore it.

and cost Of the carrier service has been
