COLUMBIA HAS ENOUGH.
Does Not Propose Again to Take Up
 E1nAh0Iu

New York, Nov. 29.-To dispose of rumors that the action of the Columbia faculty committee on undergraduate organizations in abolishing football at Columbia was taken merely to force the rules committee to reform the game and that the game may be revived at Columbia when such result is att tained, Dean George w. Kitchwey of the Columbia University School made the following statement today:
 The action os the faculty as under stand it is not aimed at association football or the so-called Rugby game, but at the game of football as 1t now exists in our American colleges. But this statement is not to be taken to mean that the acti6n of the committee was taken in order to force reforms on the rules committee. The truth is that the worst feat lres of the game are such as no revision of the rules will touch:the dishonest and unsportsman- like spirit which the game at present fosters.
 "A revision of the club rules can at best do TO more than relieve the g1me of some of tho dangers to life and limb which 1t now involves and to render the playing of dirty football a little less easy of coacealment.
 For these reasons It does not seem to me that the action taken by the faculty committee yesterday Is likely to be affected by any subsequent pro ceedings on part. of Walter Camp and his committee"
