President Butler and Faculty Against
Naturalization of Game.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3--Letters which
have recently passed between the stu
dent board of representatives of Co
lumbia university and President Mich
olas Murray Butler of the university
relating to football have been made
public
The student board wrote that IL had
been decided at meeting of that body
to petition the president to permit a
series of interclass games of football
under the new rules. to be played this
fall, because the sport had been fun
damentally altered since last year.
President Butler replied that the re-
quest was beyond his power to grant,
because the intercollegiate game of
football was abolished in Columbia In
consequence of the action of the COM
mittee in student organization and of
the university council.
President Butler further said that
those responsible for the universIty's
action in the matter "are sincerely
convinced that neither the game Of in
tercollegiate football nor the influences
that surround and accompany il should
again be introduced at Columbia.
There are many and admirable forms
of sport, more interesting, more manly
and more healthful than intercollegla ate
football"
