REID JOINS
The KNOCKERS
Harvard Thinks She Has Cut
the Throat of Foot
ball.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov 9.-Coach Reid of
Harvard, in an open letter last night sounded
the death knell Of American college football.
Coach Reid finds the game too brutal, and
Sity to change it. The letter follows:
Cambridge, Mass. Nov. S.-To d. Merrill,
secretary, Harvard Graduates Athletic "associa-
tion, Cambridge, Mass. Dear Sir-After several
years OF experience with intercollegiate foot
ball. after careful consideration of the criticisms
which have been made of the game. and after
the many honest but fruitless efforts to change
it so that these criticisms could be avoided, 1
have become convinced that the game it Is
played today has fundamental faults which
cannot be removed by any mere technical revis-
ion Of the rules. Altho am willing to admit
that the necessary roughness Of the game may
be objectionable to some people, that appears
to me to be much less serious than the fact
that there is a distinct advantage to be gained
FROM brutality and the evasion Of the rules
onenses which, in many instances, the officials
cannot detect because they are committed wheh
the players and the ball also hidden from
the eyes of the umpire. In addition, it seems
to me that the influence of the game and Of the
conditions which now accompany the Important
contests of the season on the players, the stu:
dents, the graduates and the public generally.
is not, on the whole, an influence for good For
these reasons l have come to believe that the
game ought to be radically changed or else
abandoned I, therefore, respectfully request
your association, which represents the alumni
of the university, Immediately to appoint a com.
mttee whose duty it shall be to make a care
full investigation of the subject and either to
report such thorogoing alterations in the game
as will remove the unfair advantage now OBJ
tsined from violation of the rules vii
put a higher premium on skill, make mere
weight and strength of less value and will
produce a more scientific and interesting sport
or, If such transformation of the present
game cannot be brought, to suggest some new
style or Kind of game to take its place al
Harvard. Very truly yours, w. T. Reid, Jr.''

Northwestern Has Visions Of Re.

Last Season.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Evanston Ill, Nov. 9.-During the past two
weeks the Northwestern football team has given
many indications of completing a season very
Similar to last year. Last year, after being
decisiyely beaten by Chicago by "a score of 81
to o, the team braced up and defeated the Uni
yersity of Illinois, which in turn was able to
tie Chicago Later in the season, when North
western met Minnesota, it was in its best form
and gave Minnesota its hardest game of the
year. y,
The score with Chicago this year was but one
point less than that of last year and, with the
northwestern team in miserable condition and
undevelOped, was practically q repetition of last
seasons game. The different form shown by
McC0rnacks team during season is. accounted
for by the fact that the team is late to de-
yelop It's greatest strength. The men of the
squad are late to report for practice and IN
| stead of having two weeks of preliminary work,
as Is the custom at Wisconsin and Minnesota,
1t is fully two weeks after college opens before
there is working squad of football men. Con
sequently the men are shifted about and green
men played in the early games who cannot hold
| their places later in the season when the older
men report and commence to work into form.
| There are few men who played in the North
Division and Wabash games who now have a
position the team. -''a....5. ..t
I At present Mccormack has eight of the men
who played in the late games of last season,
| and the team will be able to put up just as
hard fight against Minnesota and Wisconsin
as In former years. Every man the team,
with the exception of Shaver has played one
!eoi VI Hiore Oh tne team. Inls IS tne IOurln
year for Scott and Carlson at guards, and they
may be depended upon. Gilbreth and Jenkins at
| tackles are playing their second year, as is
Davis at center. Shaver at left end is playing
/ his first year, while Turner at the other end
has has seasons training in university foot
ball. johnson, Granberg, .Reuber and Blair in
the backfeld all veteran players and are
i strong men, both on offense and defense. John
| son is in excellent form this year, and Is
| playing better game than last season. He
/ is the life of the team, and his work in the
backfeld in catching punts and tackling in the
open IS often spectacular. ~. -. ..~
! 1t was almost impossible to get the men il
good physical condition for the Chicago game
but since then the team has progressed rapidly
and the Northwestern supporters look for
strong finish Of the season.

Madison, Wis.,, Nov. 9.-The Wisconsin foot
ball team was put thru stiff signal practice
yesterday afternoon and nearly all of the regular
players were out. The temperance of Bertke
the star tackle, was pleasing to the rooters, and
they cheered him heartily. Other cripples will
be out today. The grounds were wet and sloppy
yesterday and fast work impossible.
Scrimmage work will begin today, Coach
King says. This is not dependent upon the
weather. 4 1niSup will take place whether the
field is covered with snow or not, King says.
Hard work is to be the slogan from now until
the Michigan game a week from next Saturday.
Trainer Kraenzlein says that the boys are in
good shape and prepared to stand stiff hard work
in preparation for the wolverine game. 1t is
said that the men enjoyed a little relaxation
after the game with Minnesota, but Of
them shows any signs of break in training.

journal Special Service,

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Stagg put his men thru stiff
signal work yesterday, and followed it up
with a lively scrimmage against the freshmen.
The freshman team has remarkable formation,
which succeeded in giving the regulars consid-
erable trouble. But De Tray, Bezdek and
Boone in the backfield had trouble in smash
ing thru the varsity line. Bezdek Is in excel
klcnt condition and hit the line in fast style.
After practice Stagg looked satisfied for the
first time in many days.
The Purdue backfeld, which found trouble
In piercing ChicagOs line last year, is making
| a grand showing under the leadership of Thomas.
Stagg has told maroon adherents not to look for
big score Saturday. Midway enthusiasts reason
that Stsgg will run risk of injuring his stars
in a minor game especially while he has a
wealth Of available men of good caliber to fill
their places. The varsity probably will start

! put in as the game grows to certain victory for

BRILLIANT PRACTICE
ON SOLDIERS FEED
Journal Special Service.


Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.--Harvard again had
brilliant practice ON Soldiers field yesterday.
Particular attention was paid to the defense.
which showed up SO poorly in the Carlisle game.
Only once did the second eleven gain first down,
altho it was given the ball repeatedly. The
varsity, on the other hand, gained at will, run
ming off four touchdowns in rapid succession.
Lockwood at fulback. the star, making
one touchdown an eighty-yard play outside
Of tackle, scoring another from the 18-yard
line and playing brilliantly at all times. As it
scrilnmage. Lockwood. however, is much faster
than Guild and fully as heavy.
Captain Hurley also put up, wonderful game,
making number of long dodging runs. Hurley's
long rest at the beginning of the season is having
its effect upon him at the present time. It is
announced definitely that Carr will not play
Saturday. but Starr would It is also possible
that Parker will be in against the Quakers. II
he does he will pgpbably play center, where he
appeared for short time yesterday.

sure to be needed before winter is over.
and much more prompt and satisfacto-
ry results are obtained when taken as
soon as cold is contracted and before
it has become settled in the system,
which can only be done by keeping the
remedy at hand This remedy is so
widely known and so altogether good
that no one should hesitate about buy
