Kansas City, April 18.-One of the
questions to be decided by the annual
Swedish Lutheran conference now III

any more football at Bethany college
at LindsbOrgs Kas- There is feeling
among some Of the members OF the eas
ecutive council that football at the coll
lege should be abolished because they
believe that the game is not only brutal
and dangerous, but that it is unchris-

time away from their studies
The agitation against football began
at last years annual conference A.
that time the abolition of the game was
brought before the board. which effect

effort would be toward the defeat of the
