Developments in loot ball show that CO.

because of the way it has been run than
because Of any brutality in the game. This
was tipped off by DR.. Henry McCracken
chancellor Of the New York university. who
discussed foot ball at some length at the
alumni banquet held last week. He likened
the rules committee to the grand dukes
of Russia, who rule with an iron hand
without even considering the wishes OF the
common people, who in the case OF foot
ball are the players and spectators. He
said that the rules committee was prac-
tically a self-appointed body who claimed
the right of inheritance of some kind, and
now that their ground was becoming some

western gridiron championship. This an
nouncement was made suthoritaatively by
Captain f. j. Vanderboom and is confirmed
by the other members of the team. 1t is
said that the coaches were eager to remain
but remained coy for a time. until some
assurances Of increased salary were forth
coming No action has been taken on the
subject of salaries or contracts for next
year, but II is understood that Kings salary
will be increased from 5000 and con-
tingent fund Of $500 to a round $500. Holt
got 1000 for this season, and no hgure is
stated as his remuneration in case he re-
turns. But the assurance is said to have
been given him that after another year
as assistant he Is to be made head coach
when King retires for good from the game.
The coaches would like another deal. They
lost by four points to Chicago after their
team had out-played the Maroons. They
lost to Michigan by one straight touchdown
and fluke. They practically lost their
entire team. but they think that with the
material at Madison and the outlook at
the other universities, in the future they
can easily make good.

The Cornell athletic council has approved
the appointment of Glenn S. Warner, "a. as
head base ball coach for the season of 1906.
This was not entirely unexpected, as War
ner coached the team last year, though he
was not very successful. This year several
graduates have promised to return and help
him with the coaching. Last year the team
was better than any team Cornell has had
in years, but II fell short OF what was eN-

are making a railway car for use on short

the electric car and locomotive are too ex-

which is noted in connection with the COM

Manager Gillian OF the Auditorium has

ternity is divided as to the outcome. Pitt,

also defeated the fastest skater that the

the fastest men in Omaha to pace him each

that speed for two miles. The race Mon

cially in the manner in which they take
the turns at the rink. Pitt gets enormous

around the ends, while Davidson pedals all

floor, bending far forward apd thus to an

full of excitement and will undoubtedly
tax the capacity of the big building, as no

Walter Camp has been the head of this

DRY of man runneth not to the contrary
and there is a revolt against the way IN
which the rules have been changed, or,
rather, not changed. Foot ball enthusiasts
have finally settled down for the winter

way of changing the rules so that the
game may live and not be subject to so

care to change the rules, but public opln-

It would be the best policy to weaken the
defense by taking all but five men from
the line of defense and thus give the Of
fensive side a good chance to get under
way. This would make more sensational
| plays, but a man who is tackled hard in
| the open stands much more chance of in
| Jury than the man who is stopped in a
| mass play. With this latter change the In
reference would be strengthened and the
! players would be given an opportunity to
get well under way. which would make the
play much harder to stop and thus again
! make the chances of injury greater Few
! players are hurt in the mass plays, more
! being injured from a fierce tackle in the
! open field, the difference in favor OF the
! open play being that there is more weight
| behind the player in the mass play. A
| tackler in stopping line play must go In
| head first and the impetus of the men be-
hind the player carrying the ball is so
| great that the mass piles up on the tackler,
but a man is seldom injured by this piling
up In the open field the runner has gen
orally acquired considerable speed and the

report from Iowa City Thursday stated
that the machine of one Of the secret
societies had received the first setback in
two years in the annual election of officers
for the athletic association. 1t is about
time that Iowa should wake up and put
athletics where they belong, and that is on
a true merit basis without any idea as
TO the fraternity to which a student may
belong. Time was when Cornell and Michi-
gan and many of the larger universities
were governed in that manner and athletics
will not prosper unless they are on
truly competitive basis. When It can be
said that a man can't mako a team unless
he is a Sig or "Deke" there is not
much inducement for new man to get
out and try for team. The report from
Iowa also stated that another secret society
athletic combination had secured control
OF athletics at Iowa City for the next year.
No wonder Iowa cannot win any foot ball

The rough element in foot ball could no
put to the rear If the suggestion of having
more officials was carried out. With but
one umpire to watch the play 1t is an easy
matter for a player to knee another and get
away with 1t, and be able to boast after
ward that he had succeeded in putting the
star player out of the game. Additional
penalties may be added to the team that
has a player who is Intentionally rough. A
rule has been suggested to add two points
to the opponents score IL a player is dis
qualified for roughness and this would be
good thing. II is this roughness which
makes knockers on the game. Had Chicago
lost the game to Michigan there would I'M
doubtedly have been all sorts of stories
concerning the little knockout which Curtis
gave Bckersall. The Chicago papers would
all have claimed that Eckersall was not
himself after he was knocked down by
Curtis as he was about to punt the ball.
When Chicago won, even after the accident
to Eckersall, the players and papers all
came out with a whitewash for Curtis, but
had Chicago lost there would have been a
different tale. With fewer men on the line
smashing and bucking would certainly be
easier and scoring more frequent

urge that all paid coaches be abolished

the love OF their alma mater, to return and
coach for the love OF the sport be per-
mitted to coach a team. This is supposed
TO have been I'm vogue on some OF the

some of these graduate coaches have been
