Cambridge School Decides to Bar Al
Contests Till Rules Are
Changed.

Cambridge. Mass. Nov. 2S.-The de
finite. positive statement is made that
last Saturdays game of football was
the last To be Played under present
rules and conditions on Soldiers field.
The Harvard athletic authorities
have carefully analysed the Yale-Har
ward contest. which everyone who saw
it says was as clean and sportsmanlike
as any football game ordinarily is. and
they are not changed in their former
opinion that the present game must
either be radically changed or abol-
ished.

Harvard; in fact. lost ground Not I'm
til the Ellis changed their tactics were
they able to stop Harvard, and the
opinion here is unanimous that the
promise of Walter Camp TO revolution
ize the offensive game was not full
filled.
In the future there may be football
games at Cambridge; not necessarily
the "socker" or the English Rugby
game, but a game so totally different
from that in vogue at present that it
hardly will be recognized as the de-
scendant of the game which $4,000 PEG

Yale VIII Decline.
New Haven, Nov. 2S.-Yale will de-
cline the invitation of Chancellor Nc
Cracker of New York university to
take part in a general conference of
college presidents and officials. as Har-
ward has done. Yale football men will
cordially cooperate in the movement
of the playing rules committee to re-
form the game. and Walter Camp will
take the lead in the matter.
II is felt at Yale that if Mr.. Camps
suggestion of requiring 10 yards to be
made in four downs to hold the ball,
had been adopted last spring the game
would have been decidedly opened up.
Mr.. Camp has some other radical
changes TO lay before the rules commit

The %changeable weather OF spring.

that Hyomei, the only guaranteed

CASE BALL ENGLISH.

The Kansas City Journal makes a
defense OF the style OF It's base ball
reporter who Is severely taken TO
task by m eastern editor for the
reckless employment Of such words as
~''Oozned," solitaire" "~purloined," to
let" In his description of a game. The
Journal editor seriously declares that
the poverty OF written language Is
such that it is impossible through
the agency OF Apostle words 10 ex-
press human emotions. Therefore he
justified the linguistic vagaries and
complex ~phraseoiogy OF the average
base bali reporter and would have
us believe that as he rides rough shod
over precedent and regard for literary
finish and gaily sails out into the
boundless realm Of his red and green
imagination, he plucks the choice
flowers OF idiom as he fits about In
the glorious gardens Of budding syno-
nym and blooming metaphor.
The defense Of the Journal Is about
as illfounded q n as ever was made

and misuse our long suffering Ian
guage. Our language loo poverty.
stricken to express human emotions.
What rot, Shakespeare and MIL
ton and Spencer did not so find II.
The trouble is not with the language.
but with the user Of It. And The more
ignornant and ill.furnished he is, the
more he resorts to misapplied phrases
in which TO attempt the expression OF
ideas.
Does the Kansas City Journal man
Lnow where his picturesque reporter
gets his vocabulary? Does It indeed
come irresistibly, ready-made to his
pen. under the stress Of emotions that
are fresh and startlin? Not at all.
In the seclusion Of his own room he
diligently cons his book Of synomy-
mes. II his brother reporter the day
before has made some particularly
glaring misrepresentation Of words, he
must Guido him or die. The reporter
does not invent new words TO expess
base ball ideas. He simply misuses
old ones. through the agency OF all the
synonyms he can master. The de-
gree OF similarity between the word
applied and the word that should be
applied may be the slightest possible,
So much the better. A jiu iitsu ex-
ponent twists his opponents arm.
A base ball pitcher wishes to send a
twist ball. therefore he jiu jitsus the
ball.
II Is a mistake to commend those
who write for wilful crimes against
the language. The nearly the
word fits the actual idea
to be conveyed. the better
the writing. And language
Is not figuratire but absurd when 1t
expresses comparisons that are not
exact. This deliberate attempt to mis-
use language In base ball and sporting
and other departments is doing mis-
chief and already the most intelligent
editors of the country are sternly sup
