Quakers Look Strong.

Pennsylvania should be a strong factor
in football all the season judging by last
years results. There are many who
think that outside of Yale football
elevens Of 1904 were not UP 20 the stand
ard of some other years but Il seems rs
IL this were rather unfair to Pennsyl-
vania, which played an earnest and con-
sistent game from the time that the
men finally found their own strength
until the very end of the year. Penn
svlvania was aided largely by Steven
son. a good quarterback, who ran the
team In admirable fashion. and he will
be back with the red and blue this year
The greatest loss is Piekarski, who
played the game Of his life last fall,
and II is a hardship TO be deprived of
the services OF Smith. Still, Pennsyl-
vania has some strong reserves upon
which TO draw, and the team may be
expected TO be up well all the time, and
particularly with Mike Murphy han
ding the players and giving the coaches
the benefit Of his advice on the field
There is much to hope for at Cornell.
Glenn Warner will be able 10 get more
out OF the eleven this year than he did
last. His experience in 1904 was OF great
assistance in getting the men impressed
with his ideas and fitting them for the
football work OF 1905. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Cornell will be harder by
20 per cent 10 beat this year than last.
This will make the games with Prince
ton and Columbia especially interesting.
Five of last years team are likely to
make the eleven and will probably be
given their old places. They are all
strong, and Warner believes they will
play better football than they did a year
ago.
Cornelrs back field has an abundance
of candidates eager to get positions on
the eleven. anc at no time should the
ithacans feel concern as TO their ability
to hold their own behind the line.
Columbia's 1905 future is largely A
matter of conjecture. There are very
few men left for the eleven. and Captain
Thorpe will be compelled to depend upon
new material to help him out. A heavy
task is ahead Of this ard-working play

Ardent longing for real football

Stringent Rule Adopted.

There Is a new ruling in the West
which will make great difference with
the eleven of the University of Michi-
gan, in that its coaches will not be able
to take advantage of any new material
which shall enter the first year at Ann
Arbor. The Western collegiate confer
ence agreed that no student may play
on football team until he shall have
resided in college SIX months. In a
measure. the one-year eligibility rule of
the East corresponds TO this, although
not nearly so stringent or so far-reach-
ing in its provisions
1t Is true that many OF last years
Michigan eleven are eligible to play
this year. but 1t is the theory of Yost
the coach OF the team, to impress con-
stantly young talent. and while he may
have some players working for him this
season with a view TO using them In
1906. he will be compelled to depend upon
his old men to pull through the cam
paign of 1905 q.
In addition to Captain Norcross. the
Michigan football squad will include
Curtis, tackle: Thomas Hammond. half
back; Schultz, guard; Harry Hammond.
end, and Longman. fullback. These
players are seasoned and capable, and
constitute a nucleus of itself strong
enough to beat most teams opposed to
it. The general impression is that
Michigan Will win in the West with the
same dash and style as have been char
acteristic of the team in the past With
such a strong personality as Yost at the
head OF the football squad there is no
question that the players will be made
to do their best from the beginning TO
the finish

Notwithstanding the great demand
on the part Of the critics and the spec
tators for more open game, the rule
makers did little which tends to that re-
suit. The rules are practically similar
TO those of 1904, and whatever tendency
may be had toward a more open game
viii result from the style adopted by
each eleven in play.
For instance, Yale may not be expect
ed to play an open game. The theory at
New Haven has been. especially in re-
cent years. for close play and slight but
steady gains with the ball Princeton, on
the other hand, would fall very readily

r. shall be brought back and not be re-
garded as in play or the scrimmage

centers who were very clever last year
with their false motions. and the Off
Gals were compelled frequently to eau
tion them. This year penalty attaches
to the false motion.
No man is allowed to be out of bounds
this year when the ball is put I'm play,
except the man who is holding the ball
for q place kick. This Is a rule which
should have been on the books long
ago and strictly enforced. In the last
two years the players have been alto
gether too careless in assuming their
positions on the field and keeping them
after they got there.
Immediately the forward progress OF
the bali is stopped the referee must
blow his whistle. The rule is imper-
ative. There have been too many feet
gained by failure of officials to assume
arbitrary action regarding the progress

No substitute is allowed to go on

Murphy's Resignation a Body Blow.

A greater blow to Yale than the grad
uation OF football players is the with
drawal of Mike Murphy as the trainer
for the university. Murphy always has
had the players in the best Of shape
to compete in the football games, and
1t is seldom that a Yale man has been
pulled out of the contest because Of
exhaustion. Murphy has left New
Haven, believing that the climate was
rendering a throat affection with which
he is bothered steadily worse. and will
be the trainer for Pennsylvania this
year.

owing to scholarship penalties. and as
they are two of the best men on the
team, it will be NO easy task to replace
them.
Princeton undoubtedly believes that
the magnetism of Cooney, this year 5
captain, will go great way toward
assisting in building together a strong
eleven in 1865. 1t is known that some
players from preparatory schools OF
prominence have signified their inten-
ton TO attend Princeton, and Il is very
likely that all of them will voIunteeI
for the eleven.

Growing Slowly.


From 1850 to 1890 there was always
football in the United States. but little
was heard of it except in college CEN
tiers. 1t was long way from becoming
Il sport which was some day to COM
mand thousands of columns of attention
from the newspapers of the land. After
1890 the big games between Harvard and
Yale and Yale and Princeton and be-
tween other colleges IT prominence be-
gan TO be witnessed by Systematically
increasing crowds. 1t was discovered
that men were travelling from one limit
of the United States 10 the other to be
present at the annual football game be-
tween their alma mater and some uni
versity dearly loved as an enemy As
the crowds swelled and their interest
waxed, the game was forced more and
more on public attention, but IL is only
within the last five years that football
has attained anything like the popular
ity of baseball. and now. considering
the brief time in which il is possible to
play, II is a question If, all things con-
sidered, II does not outstrip baseball in
the fever.sh anxiety of its votaries to
make the most of their opportunity.
When il is known that the output of
factory furnishing football supplies is
now twenty times greater than il was
five years ago, some idea may be had OF
the increased number of football players
in the United States. The output Of the
same factory is almost fifty times
greater than 1t was twenty years ago.
1t was once computed that If the uni
formed football elevens should be aver
aged at two to a county throughout the
United States, il would be a fair esti-
mate. Now there Is some talk about
three uniformed football elevens to a
city as an average In any event the

PRESIDENT vs.. DIVORCE.
Calls Attention to Lack Of Statistics
on Marriage In Message to Congress-.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 31.-The
President sent a message to congress
yesterday calling attention to the fact
that no statistics on marriage and di.
vorce have been collected since 1886
and recommended legislation.
The President sent a message to the
senate yesterday. calling attention to
the laxiety of corporation laws in the
District OF Columbia and the need OF
legislation in that connection.
Following is the text Of the message
on divorce statistics:
ITO the Senate and House of Repre-.
sentatives:-I call the attention OF
congress to the fact that no statistics
have been collected by the federal
government upon the subject of mar.
rage and divorce since the year 1896,
and that but few of the states have
provision for the collection Of such
statistics.
THE institution of marriage is of
course at the very foundation of our
social organization, and all influences
that effect that institution are OF vital
concern to the people of the whole
country. There is a widespread con-
yiction that the divorce laws are dan
gerously lax and indifferently adminis-
tered in some of the states, resulting
