FOOTBALL HAS FRIENDS
Railroad Man Says Game Is Doing

Every time a football player is in

noble sacrifice to a more vigorous men

in the result OF this development, which
means that those inoculated with the
football germ viii represent the highest
class of men"
These are the words OF Warren ].

New York Central lines west &C Buffalo
Mr Lynch is a philosopher; ne usually

is going up against il he strikes a unique
line of reasoning
I do not favor football because IT
means excursions for railroads, for if the
leather We're laid on the shelf some other
game would be substituted and we would
do business just the same. But I be-
leve IN football for what it means TO
the youth of the country. Instead OF
looking at an injured player as a hor-
riblc example. ] view it as a sacrifice
"a a principle, instead OF mourning for
the VICTIM he should be hOnOTed as a
martyr, a man who suffered that the
youth of the land might be stimulated
by his example to become clean, Vigor-
Gus and aggressive. The public thinks
only of the eleven playing the game.
overlooking the millions of bows and
young men who are being stimulated TO
possess clear brains, strong bodies and
honest forcefulness in dealing with op-
ponents through life. There may be room
for changes, but the game should not
be abolished, for of all the plays IL is
the particular, shining one that teaches
the youth TO strike the line hard through

DARTMOUTH MEN

TEN YARD RULE IN FAVOR

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Feotbal was the chief
topic OF discussion last night at -
bi-monthly dinner and smoker Of the
Dartmouth Alumni association. CoGen
Mccormack OF Northwestern. who IS a
Dartmouth graduate, predicted a ten
yard rule as the principal change in next
years football regulations.
We near a good deal OF talk against
football lately he said, but the game
Is too good a one 10 so. 1t Will remain
IN America as "a Sport for the next cen

have talked the matter over W-,n Walter
Camp and l know that teams will be
required next year TO gain ten yards
in four downs. This VIII neccss.tata a
set OF light backs. No team can gain
ten yards IN four. downs by rushing. or
course, there are dangers in football and
l don't think danger can be eliminated
from The present game. But fatalities
can be and they will be.
Chauncey Cotton, Dartmouth '03, who
played on the Northwestern team for
two years, attacked the western system
of coaching
The eastern colleges and universities
have coaches who are graduates OF the
institution they are working for he
said, but out here the schools. almost
without exception. have professional
coaches. who work for their own repu-
tatiOn and not for that of the school,
and the teams are known as such and

bowling since the season opened. Its lead
over the crescents. however. is but a
single point, which indicates a remarkably

Crescerts are at the top of the column
with games won and lot, having taken
the position held by the TuXedos since

The two tai end teams. the Brilliants

there is some talk Of either reOrganizing
these teams or dropping them altogether.

at the top of the. players column. by

week ago. The race between this pair
is close Smith having twenty-one
points to his credit. This week saw

year ago, IS claimed TO be a world 8
record BY Coach Yost of Michigan. Ben
Mon is also rated as one of the best foot

ably better posted on the rules than any
player in the state. He first learned
the game under Coach Harvey Holmes.
