PASSED UP.
Students from Columbia College Pro-
hibited from Playing.

New York, Nov 29.-Columbia, uni
versity has abolished the game of foot
ball, as at present played, as one of
the sports in which students of the
university will be permitted to en-
gage.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the Columbia university commit
tee on student organization last night
at the university at which were pres
ent the members of the committee,
Prof. Lord, chairman; Prof. Mitchell
and Prof. Oden, and also President
Butler, Dean KirchWey, and Pref
BogOrt, the two latter ex-chairmen o.
the committee.
The following preamble and resO-
lutionS were adopted:
Under the authority conferred by
! the university council on students or
carnations to supervise and control
all student organizations athletic a
other, which in any way represent the
university before the public it is
Resolved. That from and after De-
cember 81, 1905, the football assOcia-
ton of Columbia university shall be
disbanded, before which date all its
accounts shall be settled to the salts
faction of the comptroller of student
organizations.
Resolved. That in the opinion of
this committee the present game of
football should be abolished and the
committee respectfully recommends
to the university council that the game
be prohibited at Columbia university. .
The action of this committee is
final. The students are not permitted
to play without the consent of the
committee, and if they do they rem
der themselves liable to expulsion.
Prof. Lord said after the meeting of
the committee:
1.-THE reasons for this action need
no explanation They must be pres
ent to the mind of every one acquaint-
-n~AA y ~
by such radical action can the uni
versity and college life be rid of an
obcession which, it is believed. has
become as burdensome to the great
mass of students as it has proved itself
harmful to academic standing and
dangerous to human life"

ILLITERACx DECREASING.
1O6 per 1000 Against 1873 per 1000
in 1890

Washington, Nov. 29.-According to a
bulletin issued today by the census bu-
Feau about JOG persons out of 1000 in
the United States over 10 years old are
unable to write. which is equivalent to
about one in ten. Of The native white
population only 46 out of every 1000, or
fewer than one in 20 of the foreign born
While 12S out of every 1000 and of the
negroes 445 out Of every I 600 are litter
ate. International compilations restrict
ed as far as possible to corresponding
classes of the population are o. the
whole, favorable to this country indi-
eating that in most European countries
illiteracy is much more prevalent than
it is here, although the United States is
far behind Germany. Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, and Switzerland There is
also ground for satisfaction in the sta
tistical evidence that illiteracy is steadi-
Iy being reduced. In 1890, the number
of illiterates per 1000 was 1873 for the
total population, 81 for the native white
population, 100 for the foreign born
white and 568 for negroes, Indians and
Mongolians.
The female sex is shown to be more
illiterate than the male. the illiteracy
for females being 112 per 1000 and for
males 101 But the contrast is less
marked than it was in 1890, when the
illiteracy for the two sexes was 144 and
123 respectively.

burn and Colorado teams.
Against the heavy Denver A G.
team, Colorado college was able to
gain only IS yards from the line of
scrimmage" in the course of the whole
game. D. A. c. gained 1O4 yards from
the line of scrimmage,' thus indicat-
ing that Colorado college does not
have a very formidable Offense.
In the K. U.-Washburn game, Wash
burn gained PIG yards from the line
of scrimmage," while Kansas gained
only 127. In counting the gains from
the line of scrimmage, the long K. T.
gains on Washburn's fumbles are not
counted, and this was what defeated
Washburn. Washburn's offensive play
has showed immense power. And Kan
sas university is stronger, in all prob
ability, than Denver Athletic club.
In both of these games, it is to be OBJ
served that the team which really
gained the most ground on hard. out
and-out football was defeated. In one
case, it was the light team which was
outplayed, and won; in the other case it
was the heavy team was outplayed and
won.
In the D. A. c. Colorado game,it seems
! to have beeen pure luck which saved
| the Colorado college team from defeat.
1t was outdistanced, outpunted and
| suffered all the penalties, for a total OF
40 yards loss. And yet its one field
| goal won the day.
In the observation-disclosures game
! Washburn was beaten by its fumbles
in the first halt and except in punting
outplayed K. Z. at all other points.
These comparisons, taken in relation
! to the comparative strength of Wash
burn and Colorado colleges, are very
favorable to Washburn. Unless the To-
cal collegians have gone stale as 9
result of their Colorado trip, the dope
! indicates that they have the best OF
/ Colorado college both on offense and
| defense. Colorado college has also been
weak in its punting in previous games.
In the game with D. A. c.. c. Morgan
did the punting for Colorado college,
and his punts averaged only 26 yards.
Millice of Washburn has been averag-
ing 30 yards and over.
The star players of the COLORADO col
lege team are LoTing Lennox, the right
end, who viii be up against Haughey
or Smiley; Morgan and w. LennoX. the
halfbacks, and Morris, fullback. In
Fawcett and Southcote, Colorado is said
to have a very formidable pair of tack
les.
