of the president constitute the athletic

slider with them particularly the morals
of the game of football, with q view
to eliminating much of its brutality,
# possible. A general discussion Of
college athletics was had, but the talk
centered around the game of football.
1t is hoped by the president that,
with the cooperation of the college
authorities and the athletic advisers,
the rules of the game may be so amend
ed as practically to do away with much
of the brutality which makes the game
Objectionable to many people. 1t is
understood that no definite conclusions
We're reached. Indeed, none was ex-
pected, the idea of the president being
simply to start the ball rolling in the
direction of modification of the rules
of the game.

arrested a week ago.
A crowd of 1000 persons had gath
cred at the union station, and they
filled the station and approaches in
every direction, intent on securing, if
possible. a glance at Grove.
A large Gordon of police opened an
aisle from the platform of the train to
a patrol wagon in the rear of the sta

tectives, with patroln1an walking
ahead and another behind. was
marched to the wagon, amid the

others. The extraordinary precaution
taken by the police department for
landing Grove safely behind the bars
seemed hardly necessary, for he gave
little heed to them, and apparently
had no wish to make his escape.

In the patrol wagon four officers and
three reporters furnished company for

he had talked two months ago, and
recalled an interview in local news

asked what his occupation was Re
plying to this question, Grove re-

and remarked that it was a fiatterine-

of its former citizens.

a sigh Of relief when he saw Grove

have enabled him to keep out of the
