FOOTBALL REFORM

PRESIDENT hOOSeVelG , elOi VI
to bring about some badly
needed reforms in college foot
ball games bids fair to succeed.
Five men who are identified with
university sports have prepared
a statement in which it is set
forth that the active coaches OF
the university teams have obll-
gated themselves to do what they
can. This assumed obligation
provides for carrying out Sin let
ter and spirit, the rules OF the
game of football relating to
roughness, holding and foul
play"
This reform can be brought
about if the coaches and the
faculties Of the universities make
it clear that such tactics as we're
in evidence in Philadelphia last
Saturday are not to be tolerated.
There is enough strenuousness
in the game without injecting a
personal equation suggesting
the manning or injury of an OPP
ponent.
By a close adherence to the
rules of the game the sport is TO
maintain its true position in
athletics. Even by a close OBJ
servance of the rules of the game
it is clear to the outside observer
that the element of roughness
exists and cannot be avoided, but
this roughness should not be
permitted to take the shape Of
cowardly kicks, punches and
thrusts under cover of a massed
play. Brutality must be elimi-
mated from the college football
games, and the coaches and the
faculties can bring about the re-
form. In other games of foot
ball brutal methods can be con-
sidered as properly coming
within police jurisdiction.

SHELLMANS LAST
WORD TO VOTERS.

Before the voters cast their ballots,
| desire to say few words to the pub
lie concerning the election.
There IS nothing III the situation ex-
cept complete victory for the entire
Republican ticket. In support of this
position, / wish to submit the follow
ing facts
Last year Roosevelt carried this
county by 3l7 majority. This year
the poll of the county, taken by care
full, painstaking men, shows a major
ity of 334 votes for the Republican
ticket. The county on fair, square
vote is Republican by fully 800 major
ity. There is absolutely no disaffection
in the party; never before was the
party as harmonious and as united as
ii is now
We have a splendid ticket which we
offer to the people for then support.
They are men of ability. fully capable
of fulfilling all the duties and respon.
sibiities of the offices to which they
aspire. They are clean men in their
private lives, and every citizen is as
sured fair and Just treatment at
their hands IN case they are elected
They have made careful canvass of
the county, meeting the voters face
to face and explaining to them their
position on all questions affecting the
interests of the county. They have
conducted a fail, honorable campaign
such as appeals to the fair minded
citizens. They have abused and Wifi
ed no opposing candidate, though
tempted to ret late In kind the abuse
and Iidicule ht aped upon them, with
out cause. They have not employed
man to write abuse of others, be-
cause they were too cowardly to as
sumo responsibility for the stuff
themselves. Nor have they permitted
any one else to do so. The people
know who are responsible for this
phase OF the campaign, and 1t will re-
col with en.told force on the heads
of those who have injected this bitter
ness into the canvass. The people of
Breckenridge county are getting ex-
treuely tired of this method of cam.
paigning. They demand an honest,
upright and dignited canvass on the
part of those candidates whom they
wish to support, but the intelligent
voters of all parties have long since
learned to place upon these impotent
vaporings their true value and real
worth. They know that it is like
a tale told by an idiot, full of sound
and fury signifying nothing
The Republican election officers
are intelligent, capable men and no
fraud can be carried through success
fully with them on guard. | think it
will not be attempted. Everything
tends to glorious victory. Take
courage Even now the battle is won
