Francis s. Bangs, chairman of the COMMITTEES

interested last night in Mr.. Wetmore's state

Yale and Princeton, and they will have wide
influence on football. If there is no reform by
them doubtless many of these lesser colleges
and universities will continue playing football
in the same old way. While, If they do take
some action. these smaller institutions will at
once follow the lead.
"But the big three may say that they win
not reform, that they will continue as they
please. Well, there is then but one thing to
do. Football becomes Immediately, as it really
has been all along, a local question for each
institution to decide for itself. In the last
analysis, each college must decide whether and
on what terms it will permit the game. OF
course 1t is a great national college game, and
there should be concerted action, but the hops
for change seems to rest entirely with these
three universities that there seems to be moth
ing for the others to do except abolish the game
unless a change is made I believe that the
force of public opinion will compel change"

was obtained from several district leaders yester
day According to these men the plans of the op-

Mayor Mcclellan exhibits in the appointments he
makes
There is some talk of a committee Of seventy
well known Democrats to work for reorgapizat ton
Of the party in Kings County In addition to Con-
troller Grout, J. Edward swanstrom. former Bor-
ough President, and Henry E. Cochrane, former
McCarren leader of the 17th Assembly District,
would probably take active part in such
movement.
There is plan to force the hand of McCarren
at the meeting Of the county committee for reor-
ganizaton, next Tuesday night, which. if carried
out would give idea of the exact strength Of
the Senator The proposition is to introduce
a motion that the reorganization of the committee
be postponed for several weeks. Such resolution,

Of warm, overheated room, especially at
