COLUMBIA FIRM IN
SISSY DETERMINATION

New York, Dec. 28-Columbia' faculty seems
to be unalterably opposed to football In any
form. and, altho the students are living in
little chance Of 1t.
It is well known at Columbia that the uni
versity council is opposed to the game in any
form. 1t has been pointed out several times by
members Of the faculty that there Is a loop
hole thru which the game may be saved In. the
use Of the words present game" Since that
statement was made, however, several members
of the Columbia faculty have taken pains to
point out that the game cannot be reformed.
and among these Is Professor Kfrchway, who
makes the assertion his opinion,
1.-The action Of the committee, as under
stand 1t, is aimed not merely at football as at
present played, but at the game Of football,
however it may be played. The action Of the
university committee was not taken in order to
force reforms on the intercollegiate rules com
mittee. I do not believe any action the rules
committee may take in the future viii have the
effect Of reinstating the game at Columbia"

FED DURHAM STEER?

In the current issue Of the Manchester Col

the college, devotes much space to an article

he pays the following tribute to the state uni
versity:. IT, n ..-.. -... 90.
There is not in the whole state of Mime
sofa today a stall-fed Durham steer that can
show such huge layers OF muscle on its legs
as the athletic god Of the University Of Mime
sofa. 1t is thought that after one more season 5
coaching, dieting and rubbing at the university,
where he is hearing one lecture day, he will
have developed 80 much that 1t will be necessary
to haul his extra muscle behind him in q little
wagon made for that purpose.
I'VE used to be taught that knowledge was
power, and that old fogy, Solomon says over
and over again that wisdom is the principal
thing. But now we know better. Muscle is the
principal thing. Brute force is power. Down
