Colorado stat. Norma, Notes.

OHuSai interest has been mani
tested among the young men Of the
institution this year in football,
which can be largely attributed to
the efforts OF Prof. John T. Lister,
director OF athletics. 1t takes time
to develop football team and in
the future the Normals expect to
make good record on the grid.
iron.
The question of athletics is one
OF great Importance in educational il
institutions. None are so narrow
in their views as to wish to pro-
hibit athletics entirely, they all see
the necessity of some means OF
training the physical, as well as
the mental powers of the student,
but the important point is, how far
shall athletics be carried, and what
shall be their charactere
Perhaps one of the reasons for
so much agitation on this question
Is the apparent danger involved in
football. From every quarter, and
especially from rural districts, we
hear the cry condemning it. Some
people who perhaps never saw a
game have COVE so far as to call il
prize fighting, and to censure it as
they would Ancient Gladiatoral
contests. These charges against
football are not just--it is not more
dangerous than other games, nor
is 1t more demoralizing in its nature
At least nine-tenths OF the time
taken out in a game is because
someone is "winded," and If a
man has to leave game, it is usu
ally because he has exhausted and
not because he is injured. The
pharaphernalia OF football teams
to-day is such that it protects the
players, SO that serious injuries
are few.
Some say that football is a sport
which tends to degrade the moral
nature; that its influences lead to
immoral dissipation. This is not
true. Ii is well known fact,
recognized by the best players that
\ man cannot be dissipated and
make a success in football. Many
cases may be cited where a stud
ent immorally inclined has been
led from his evil ways by submit
ting himself to the rigid discipline
of director. 1t is the professional
player that is bringing the game
into disrepute-he has nothing but
individual reputation to gain and
maintain, while on the other hand
the student has the honor of the
institution at stake. He must con-
duct himself in a manner that re-
proach will be cast upon his
school.
