An ln'human Game.


Karl Brill, Harvard's famous foot
ball tackle, picked by experts almost
without exception for the All-Ameri.
can eleven, declares that the game is
brutal. He said the Yale game was
his last.
II believe the human body was
never meant to withstand the enor-
nous strain football demands" he
said, Moreover I don't believe the
game is right. I dislike It on moral
grounds. It is a mere gladiatorial
combat Is brutal throughout.
when you are opposed to a strong
man you have got to get the better of
him by violence. I fail to see where
the gray matter in man. head is
used at all.
II do not see where the game can
be reformed or remedied. Sooner or
later l believe we shall come to our
senses and abolish it from all Ameri-
can institutions of learning.

But football is worse than the hell of
war. because it has no redeeming
