who annually turned away from the big games
show that the public Ikea the game it is now
played under the present rules. Ons OF than said
to-day:
All this talk about changing the rules is pure
rot. The rules all right II there is less open
play than years ago don't know it and think
that the game played is more fun for the
men and has chances of accident than the old
fashioned running and kicking game, where man
might be thrown his neck any minuts when
going at the rate OF a hundred yards in eleven
seconds The rules committee this year legslated
against stealing the ball That is going TO have
the effect OF cutting down the chances for loss OF

So much for the coaches and PLAYERS point OF

strong. Among those who attend the big games
there Is q strong sentiment that the game ought
to be opened up and made interesting by long
runs and attempts to dodge through a line instead
Of the old-fashioned style of mass play that Yale
has used and Harvard and Princeton. for the last
ten years It is felt. and widely expressed. that
the game has become tedious and scientific, inter

weight that IS slowly but surely driving lighter

many OF US love the same Of football and

 Furthermore, stand ready to meet any white man in the world" he con tinues. These statements came from Marvin's home in Louisville, and there is strong suspicion of the press agent about them. But If 1t be true that he made the statements, then let us say to 3Ir Hart that he has seen his start and finish as pugilist, for after he gets through with Jeff, or, rather, after Jeff gets through with him, he will no longer care to enter the roped arena.
 Jeffries, when informed of Hart's in tentions, said: T cannot believe that Hart made this statement, but if he is sincere I will step back into the ring simply to give the people an idea oi just what the Louisville boy is.
 Hart is a husky fellow and ought to put up a good fight" said Jeff.
 Gardner, Root, Willie, Schreck and several other heavyweights will only be too anxious to give Hart battle.
 "As for Fitzsimnlons," said Hart, T do not for a moment think that he wants to fight me. He is looking for advertising for his show and he is getting it. Fftz has been great fight CT, but he has long since seen his best days, and no one knows this better than Bob."

GOLDEN GOOSE DYING.

San Francisco, Oct 16.-The boxing game may die in California. The fail ure of the supervisors to grant the monthly permit is looked upon as bad omen by the local promoters and is causing much suspense in boxing circles. Many of the boxing fraternity see in this promise of the total collapse of the sport in San Francisco, coming as it does upon the recel. Billy Nolan disclosures.
 Two promoters, Alexander Greg gains and James Coffroth, had sought the October date, hut as matters now stand it looks as though this months plum will not be shaken down.
 Greggains had intended to put Kauf- mann on against Jack Jeffries or Mike Schreck or to arrange for return match between Nell and Tenny.
