tends to make In the game of foot ball and
that report is approved by the board OF
oyerseers. In other words. IL the new rules

the committee on physical training, ath-
letic sports and sanitary condition of ali
buildings. After full discussion In the
board of overseers this report was adopted
The report OF this committee follows:
your committee considers the game of
foot ball as at present played essentially
bad in every respect. The method OF for
nation absolutely encourages triekery and
foul play. 1t is very difficult to see all that
IS done, even by the most careful and sharp
est eyed umpire. but the results are seen
In many serious and even fatal accidents.
II Is nearly impossible to line I'D twenty
two powerful and aggressive young men
opposite each other and not have some one
lose his self-control and do what Is wrong
Gases often occur when a foul play Is
deliberately made In order to gain some
advantage at a critical moment. the player
doing 1t running the risk of detection to
gain his point. Besides this, some coaches
and older men persist in teaching the play
ers to most effectively put an opponent
OUT as 1t Is called, in many adroit and
distinguishahle ways.
80 long as the larger universities play
the game in this way. It Is bound to have
bad effect on the schoolb0ys, ana foul
plays are absolutely encouraged In many
places. TAe resait e bad tor the mGpwiG

lies In the center of this panorama Thus
the powers of the world are gathered at
