The New Football Game at Trinity
Wins Quick r'avOr.

Especial to News and Observer
Trinity College, Durham, n. c., Nov.
3O.-The new game of football which
was introduced here at the beginning
of this week is proving to be an eX-
cellent game, both to the spectators
and to the players themselves. 1t
is far from q dull game as is at
tested by the number of men out on
the athletic field every afternoon. Since
there is a minimum of liability OF in
jury in playing, it furnishes sport and
exercise to a larger number of men
than would the regular game in which
both limbs and lives are destroyed.
Consequently it is much better game
as far as purely physical outdoor eX-
erciSes is concerned.
Another new game has been begun,
also. This is hockey, or the Old-fash-
ioned shiny" The regular hockey
game is played on fee but since this
is an impossibility here, the game is
being played on the baseball field
which is as level as a floor and very
smooth. Field hockey sticks. which
are somewhat like golf sticks, are
used in knocking the ball which is
about the size of a baseball. This sport
has also created much enthusiasm
among the young men.
The debate between representatives
of Trinity and Vanderbilt University
has been postponed from December
9th to the goth The question to be
discussed is the tariff, Vanderbilt fa-
voring protection and Trinity opposing
