WHEELER DON'T LIKE GAME
President of Berkeley Says College
Football VIII Have to Be Modi-
fled or Else Stopped.

Berkeley. Oct. 21.-"American football
as il is played today will have to go or it
will have 10 be more modified than 1t
ever has been" said President Benjamin
lde Wheeler of the University of CalifOr-
mia to students assembled around the
bonfire on the college campus last night
in the big '-senor rally in honor of the
freshmen football victory. The view ]
give you OF the game is now rapidly being
accepted throughout the country as being
the only logical solution of the problem
which has been reaching head Tor many
years. The game in its essence is too
good to abandon entirely, and the thing
for US to do in the immediate future IS
10 change its nature RADICALLY so that II
will come within the pale of other college
sports. where highly specialized training
costly equipment, unnecessary chances
for serious injuries and a minimum o.
participation on the part of the student
body are absent.
II have long favored such revolution
in the game" he continued 1T is not
right that this sport should be confined
TO q mere handful of players. while the
greater part OF the student body is rele-
gated 10 the bleachers or behind the
fence. The game, IL should never he lost
sight OF was originally designed for eX-
ercise. and not solely for q victory over
a rival college. We need a game that
many can take part in, and the football
rules should be so altered that many stu
dents. at present listless, may get a
chance TO participate

worked uD as the films rolled OFF is
putting it mildly
The mother of the Battler presented
a picture that was little less wonder
full than those thrown on the canvas.
When the Battler was being slammed
by James Edward her facial cOntor-
tions were amusing. Although the
fight has passed into history, even the
show pictures were so lifelike that Mrs.
Nelson showed about as much excite
ment as if the actual fight were just
being fought. Her facial expressions

being thumped. to unrestrained JOY,
when Nelson was in the lead.
Frequently during theNtight she was
heard to encourage her son to pound

When the films showed the knockout
Mrs. Nelson was almost overcome with
joy. and just the suspicion of tears
could be noticed in her eyes as in a
husky voice she declared Battling was
always such d good boy, and he did
just right when he beat that saucy
Britt, who punched him so many
times"

sail, ChicagO's quarterback, today for the
third time brought victory 10 the Uni
versity of Chicago football eleven by a
score Of 1 TO 0. Three times, with the
ball within scoring distance of the Wis

goal. The third trial was successful the
ball sailing squarely between the goal
posts and placing four points to the
credit of the maroon team. This was ali
the scoring done by either team. Three
times the Wisconsin team had the BAH
within twenty yards of Chcago's goal
line. Once Ii rested on the tsn-yard line.
But with defeat staring them in the face,
ChiCagO's line men dug their feet deep
into the soft ground and threw back the
Wisconsin backs.
The struggle was probably one OF the
fiercest ever seen on western grldlrOh.

Wisconsin fumbled twice. Outside OF
this the play was clean and sharp. Fully
