PRESIDENT TALKS FOOTBALL

 TON AND HARVARD MEN.
His Sole Object the Amendment of the Rules of the Game So as to Do Away With Much of the Brutality Which Makes the Game bjectionabIe-NO Definite Conclusions Reached.

Washington, Oct. 9.-President Roosevelt entertained at luncheon to- day Dr. D. H. Nichols and W. T. Reid of Harvard, Arthur T. Hillebrand and John B. Fine of Princeton and Walter Camp and John Owsley of Yale. The six guests of the president constitute the athletic advisory board of the re- spective colleges named. The president desired to consider with them particu- larly the morale of the game of foot ball with view to eliminating much of it's brutality if possible. A general discussion of college athletics was had, but the talk centered around the game of football. It is hoped by the presi- dent that with the cooperation of the college authorities and the athletic ad- visers that the rules of the game may be amended as practically to do away with much of the brutality which makes the game objectionable to many people. It is understood that no defi- mite conclusions were reached. Indeed none was expected, the idea of the pres ident being simply to start the ball roll ing in the direction of modification of the rules of the game.
