only TWO makes OF the American machines
shown. the Pope Toledo and the Oldsmo-
pie. so far there has been no announce
ment that n American cars will he

talk going on in local automobile circles
mat 1t Is probable that several Yankee
makers Will decide TO have their cars com
pared with the remarkable exhibits OF the
Frenchmen.
"A majority OF the American agents for
French cars will go over TO attend the
exhibitions, for they must keep up with
the progress being made constantly by
the Europeans. A large number OF

pose.

but only a very few of them have had the
hardihood TO make any suggestions as to
the lines along which reforms should he

coaches, players and the public alike
would like 10 see reforms, but what IS de-

Dean Meiklejohn OF Brown University is
opposed TO the sentiment now prevalent
concerning tho abolishing OF the game OF
football and from his position as Dean OF
the Faculty and for several years Presi-
dent OF the Brown Athletic association he
IN we'll fitted 20 speak with authority upon
the subject.
Not only does Prof. Melklejohn disap-
prove OF the sentiment 10 abolish the
game but ne comes forward with several
suggestions as 10 changes that might ms
prove the game aud mako II stil more
popular than II is at present. lie believes
that the abolition OF the game would DC
n serious hindrance TO the wholesome
growth OF college life ana the stucen'
body as well as annimilating some OF tho
sturdiest qualities that 30 10 make up
true manhood, so much needed In after
life by those who leave colleges. his
statement is as follows:
IF II should become necessary 10 abol-
ish football student life In American col
leges would suffer a serious loss. More
than any other game IL develops courage.
cooperation, self-control. strength OF
purpose and generous enthusiasm.
Tive charges are commonly made
against the game: "a a IL Is often bru-
tai and tricky; co that IL is dangerous.
The first charge cannot fairly be made a
specific complaint against football, be-
cause IL applies TO the other college games
as well. The trouble Is, not that football
IS brutal, but that upon all the teams.
baseball n tracks as well as football,
men are playing who ought to be exclud-
ed The chief source OF this trouble is
that men are hired TO play, and that they
are I'm some cases brutal and tricky I'm
character. The remedy for this evil is not
the abolition Of any particular sport. but
y vigorous reconstruction OF the whole
athletic system along lines which will in
sure clean play and the right spirit In
every branch OF sport.
'"The second charge. that OF danger, Is
n fair one. The essential feature OF foot
rail. THAT wtfci1 Etves ttsuch a hold upon
the imagination of the college boy. Is the
physical clash and struggle Of opposing
forces. This must always involve more or
less risk OF injury. But the risk can be
reduced. the rules can be modified IN the
direction of open play without essentially
changing the game, play can be made
cleaner, better officials can be provided,
training methods can be improved and ex-
tended.
I'm spite OF these charges. il has not
yet been shown that football should be
abolished. What Is needed in all college
athletics IL decisive action 20 SO reshape
their spirit and management as TO pre-
serve their value while destroying their
evil influences. The special need I'm foot
ball is the limitation Of tho element OF
danger as strictly as possible without the
loss OF those features which make IL the
snost characteristic American sport"

Jiu-Jitsu, championed by a typical
Frenchman named Regnier, has beaten
the French method OF boxing represented
by "a professional. Dubois. The match was
held this week.
Champions OF French boxing for weeks
had been demonstrating on paper that
j~iu-jitsu was no good against a kick. be-
cause the latter keeps you, so to speak,
at legs length.
The encounter was short and decisive,
lasting only one minute. Dubois aimed a
fierce kick at Regnier's chest. The latter
avoided IL easily and closed at once. In
an instant Dubois was down. his arm
pinioned n twisted, and a second later
he was shouting his surrender.
