WHAT IS KII4EING FOOTBALL.
Necessity for Giants the Chief Cause
says Coach Mccormack.

Says Coach Mccormack.
Chicago, = Dec. 9.-Walter e. McCor-
mack, the retiring coach of Northwest
ern university, who directed the Dart
mouth team for several years, gives an
interview on the faults of the football
game ind suggests that the entire
trouble in university teams at present
lies in the necessity for big men,
Remove the absolute necessity for
giants he declared, land you will rem
edy the two causes Of much of the
criticism of football. These are the
danger of physical injury and the graft
paid, directly or indirectly to the ath-
letes. To eliminate the demand for
weight means broad changes in the
rules, but its effect win be two-foId in
its great benefit to the sport.
"Commercialism or, as it is called,
graft does prevail throughout the
country, no matter how many denfals
of this proposition may be made. As a
general rule, no money is Maid directly

this or that school with promises that

take all his time, but will pay him
WELL
Mccormack refused to specialize in
making these charges. the first of the
kind ever uttered by a prominent coach
but he asserted confidently these con-
ditions exist in almost every university
in the country.

PROF. JORDAN on FOOTBALL.
Frisco Educator Talks of Remedies OF
Games HI Features.

NAf-sAAI > HI Nr+ANAAL6s
san Francisco, Dec. s.-President
David Starr Jordan has writ
ten an article on the evils
Of football and their remedies
that probably comes closer to voicing
the general sentiment among. the college
men Of the west than anything Of the
vast amount of literature on the sub
Ject put forth during the present out
burst. He says in part:
While men are sometimes killed at
football, and sometimes manned for life
such things do not often happen out
side of raw. beginnings Of unframed
secondary schools What is called bru-
tality Of football is greatly exaggerat-
ed in current criticisms. Brutality is
by no means inherent in foot ball. For
that matter, rough play wins no games.
Yet we must confess that brutality is
too often present.
1T is very doubtful whether a more
open game would be less dangerous.
Most serious accidents occur in the
tdckling of swift runners in the midst
of his interference. the very play that
is most interesting to spectators.
As matters are, the game
is too beefN. There is too great a.
premium on mere muscular force and
too much stress on ability to hammer a
weak place in the line, until a last it
gives way through sheer exhaustion.
The remedies for actual brutality
or dirty football are mainly two: The
direct penalty, and elimination through
scholarship and other academic tests Of
dirty men. who make the games dirty.
The direct remedy is in the hands of
umpires. Dirty play at football stands
in the same category as cheating at
cards. It shows the offender to be a
cad. mucker. a thief. who has no rights
in the presence of gentlemen. To be
convicted of dirty football should bar
the person in question from all future

request of NJ. !. Kelley to set aside his
sale by the St. Paul club to the St
Louis club of the American league. It
was claimed by Kelley that he was
not subject to reservation because his
contract with the st. Paul club was

Whether the district attorney will at

in the circuit court to recover patents
alleged to have been issued on fraud

That the case will amount to some
thing more than a proceeding in equity
to set aside title, however, is shown
by the fact that United States Attor-

THREATENED BY THE N. p.
Grosscup Warns Lumbermen Rate Will
st Go u, if Bill Passes.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Feb. 17.-C. S.
Grosscup, general western counsel of
the Northern Pacific, declared before
a meeting of the senate committee on
manufacturers that if the lumbermen
should persist and succeed in passing
their reciprocal demurrage bill the
roads would raise the lumber rates
and throw the extra charges upon the
shippers. He declared So per car would
suffer during car stringency.
These costs are charged up against
the operating department and in the
long run the shipper must pay Them -
he declared.
The ultimatum was delivered in an
answer to an argument by Victor H.
Beckman that the railroads were not
supplying enough cars to handle the
trade Beckman' quoted from the last
reports of the railroads to prove his
assertion.
The demurrage bill was held for a
week and in the meantime Beckman
and Grosscup are to confer and try
to reach a solution of the matter.
Grosscup claimed to the commit
tee that his road had orders out for
$1,000 new cars and would probably
get 5000 of them this season.
The committee will probably find a
compromise for the bill demanding
that the roads furnish side and end
stakes for lumber shipments. It is
probable the roads will concede one
thousand pounds of the weight of cars
and the mills will continue to furnish
the stakes. Heretofore the mills have
not only furnished the stakes, but have
also paid freight on them.
A favorable report on the passage of
bill permitting discrimination in the
distribution of cars for non-perisha-
BILE contents is probable. Very lit
tie opposition developed to this meas
ure, BY the terms of the bill the rail-
roads can give perishable products the
preference.
The manufacturing committees rec
commended the Palmer bill prohibiting
boycotting, blacklisting and ticketing.
The bill is also particularly aimed at
