You are displacing the elements Of speed. deft-

generally DO not seem to realize the fact that
football Is not game for boys. Boys are COM
ing to play IT more and more every year But
1t is a great mistake to allow them to do IT.
Football IS a strenuous game under the most
favorable circumstances. But it should never
be played by a growing lad, unless he is far
stronger and more powerful than the majority
of his fellows.
Occasionally one reads a dispatch relating
how John Smith, halfback of the Oshkosh
Young Mems Christian Association football
team received injuries in a football game to-
day from which he died in few hours" The
chances are about fifty that John Smith
a hardworking clerk, who spent hfty-ohe
weeks each year in employment that gave him
muscles like a jellyfsh and who in this condi-
ton went out to play our severest game Such
lack Of Judgment invites an unumely end. and II
is likely that Smith would have met T. elsewhere

But there are charges against the game othe s
than those which relate purely TO the way IN
which il is played. one Of them Is that the
sport is growing too big, has assumed an M
portance out Of all proportion to its real value
a an element Of college life. The critic again
comes TO the fore with the statement that in
stead of being a legitimate sport, helpful to the
physical wellbeng Of a large proportion or the
undergraduates, il is really nothing but an eX-
cuse for revealing on large scale, oel'lns on d

BRONX BUILDINGS BOOM.
Ground Broken IN $500 900 Deal
for SeUen Flathouses.

Ground has been broken for the erection of
a row OF seven hathouses at the northeast cor
ner of One-hundred- and-seventy-hrst-s and
Westinghouse. The erection of these build
ings is one of the largest Jobs of the kind I'M
dertaken in The Bronx in many months 1t is
al least 100000 building project The owner
Of the property is August Jacob He is also a
builder, and will have personal charge OF tse
building of this interesting and important fiat
house row. Plans for the houses are ROW at the
Tenement House Department, and will be made
public In few days. The houses will be five
stories high.
The plot 10 be improved has frontage of
40 feet in Observation-Disclosures -frst-st
and 240 feet in Westinghouse. A better idea
Of the size of the plot may be had by comparing
1t with some landmark parcel like the Wander
bilt property at Fifty-seventh-st. and Fifth
ave. The Vanderbilt property has frontage of
2OO.1O feet in Fffth-ave the length of the block
front. In Fffty-seventh-st. the Vanderbilt par
eel has a frontage of 125 feet. and the frontage
is 135 feet in Fffty-eighth-st- Thus it will be
seen that the Jacob plot is somewhat larger
than the Vanderbilt parcel
The size of the largest house to be built by
Mr.. Jacob on his plot will be 40 by 116 feet, and
of the smallest $40 by 50 feet MIR. Jacob re-
Gently improved a plot opposite the he is
now building on with a five story ffathouse. 1t
is said that the carrying out of such big Bronx
building project is made possible by the fact
tnat the city is underbutlt in hathOuses OF the
modern type
The Bronx building boom is OF the most
pleasing features of the present season. Build
ing activity in The Bronx is greater than at any
time since 1899 Realty statistics show that for
buildings to be erected in The Bronx for which
plans were filed was 100. and that the approx
mate cost of those buildings was 50 2S9 S75.
This record does not equal that of 1899 but II
surpasses any similar Bronx record since.
