In these and similar phrases Charles
W. Eliot, president of Harvard unlver-

ton Of intercollegiate football OF the

that they will be compelled to retire from
the game are resorted to by teams, and
conditions have come to such pass tnat

''The crude and vociferous criticism,

fore young men an untrustworthy and
unwholesome standard of public approx.
al or disapproval. The risks of football
are exaggerated and unreasonable.
''The main objection to the game lies
against its moral quality. lntercolle-

which the actions of individual players
can often be entirely concealed, not only
from spectators. but even the umpire.
Coaching on the side lines, offside play,

Questionably profitable toward victory,
and no means have been found that pre-
