STUDENTS AWED
BY FOOTBALL ACT
Columbia Adjustment Scheme
Arouses Amazement and Or
ganization Of Opposition.

New York, Nov. 30-Columbia students were
amazed when they learned that football has
been abandoned at the university. 1t is no
eXaggeration to say that 199 undergra duates
out of 200 are violently opposed to giving up
football altho hardly per cent Of the students
actually play. ". 4
The board Of student representatives-the
presidents of the four classes in college and
in science-hastiy came together and agreed
to hold mass meeting next week to discuss
the football problem. All the prominent old
graduates favoring football who can be found
will be asked to speak, and the faculty will be
petitioned to rescind their order abolshing foot
hall and join movement to modify the rules.
Action Not Unanimous.
Professor George Clinton Dinsmore odell, a
organization. which killed football, was greeted
with much stamping before he lectured his class
in English.

mittee." r" ~. 4
This was the first intimation the students
received that the action was not unanimous,
and they derived what satisfaction they could
from it. = J.. H. ..

The Minnesota football squad, accompanied BY
Coach DR.. II. L. Williams, Manager Frank Reed
and Dean +. S. Jones, left last night for Chi
cago to see the Chicago Michigan game as the
guests of the Chicago management. ~ ~
Dean Jones and Manager Reed have little
harder task before them. Dean Jones will repre-
sent Minnesota in a meeting Of the '.big nine"
conference which Will be held at the Victoria
hotel Friday, while Manager Reed attends a
meeting of basketball managers called for the
purpose Of forming basketball league. -
The work Of the conference this year will be
devoted principally to football, that is tire
sport which has the greatest hold upon college
athletics at present The recent attacks upon
the game will undoubtedly come up for discus
sion, but this year. as last, the freshman rule'
will furnish the main bone of contention.
Certain Of the conference colleges. notably
Wisconsin, wish to have the time of residence
extended from one semester to a full college
year. This would cut freshmen. who enter in
the fall out of baseball, track ard other spring
athletics, and prevent those who enter at the
opening of the second semester playing football
in the following Fs-.
While Dean Jones has not expressed himself
In regard to this rule there can be little doubt
about his attitude. Minnesota opposed the one
semester rule and will oppose the Stwo-semester
rule even more f6rcefully.s ,-.."
Wisconsin has another rule upo1, which she is
determined to insist. 1t is that the certificates
of eligibility exchanged before a game be &C.
companied by lists of the studies pursued by &u
the players that the opposing school may judge
for itself whether Or not, they are bona fdc
students. t-
