so SAYS PRESIDENT ELIOT OF
HARVARD IN HIS ANNUAL
REPORT.
WORSE THAN PRIZE FIGHTING
And Lot of Other Fighting-Gives
Many Reasons for Taking
. q. sIf
....~. Such Stand. ....r

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 5.-The
American game Of football as now
played is wholly unfit for colleges
an schools, according to an opinion
expressed by President Charles Eliot
Of Harvard, university in his annual
report to the board Of overseers of
the university.
DR.. Eliot declares that as a specta-
Gle for persons who know the game
football is more brutalizing than
prize fighting, cock fighting, or bull
fighting; and for the contestants he
believes the rules governing football
to be far less humane than the rules
which govern the prize ring. He
adds that it is childish to suppose the
athletic authorities who have permit
ted football to become brutal, cheat
ing, demoralizing the game can be
trusted to reform it.
The report declares the game has
reached a point where it sets up a
wrong kind of hero; that there is nc
such thing as generosity between
combatants, any more than in war
and that all the evils of football have
descended into the secondary
schools, where they are working
great moral mischief.
"Regarded as a combat between
highly trained men," says the re.
port, "the prize ring has great ad.
vantages over the football field, fol-
the rules of the prize ring are more
humane than those of football, and
they can be, and often are, more
strictly enforced. The fight in q
prize ring between two men facing
each other is perfectly visible, sc
that there are no secret denominations
as in football. Yet prize fighting is
illegal"
Continuing, the report declares
| that football causes an unreasonable
number of serious injuries and
deaths; that the public has been kept
ignorant concerning the number and
gravity of these injuries; that many
Of the serious injuries are of such ma
ture that in all probability they new
err can be perfectly repaired; that Vi

ADDITION TO PRESENT: JAIL

The County Commissioners were in
session yesterday at the Court House
to consider the plans and specifica-
tons which have been drawn up for
the women's Jail. All three of the
members were present, and although
nothing was decided at the meeting
yesterday /, the Board of Charities
wishing to present plan, the Com
missioners discussed the question as
to the location and it is understood
that it is their intention to build the
new Jail as an addition to the pres
ent Jail building this plan being con-
sidered the more expedient.
Elwood Clark, Commissioner from
the Western District, said last night
that the Commissioners would meet
with committee from the Board of
Charities next. Wednesday afternoon
at the Court House and at that time
the matter will be definitely settled.
The Board of Charities is in favor
of having the Jail located on ground
belonging to the Home for the
, Friendless and to be under the same
management. It also contends that
there is moral question to be set
tied in having the women prisoners
under the care of sheriff.
The commissioners feel that in
building a Jail on ground not beling-
ing to the County they would be Ii
able at some time to lose possession
Of the building. According to law
this may not be allowable, and as it
is not their purpose to buy the lots at
the Home for the Friendless, they
think it better tothave the women s
Jail near that used for the men, and
appoint a matron to have charge.
While this would be an added ex-
pense which would be done away
with at the Home for the Friendless
there would never be a question as to
the ownership of the building.
As soon as the location is decided
upon, an appropriation will be made
and work commenced at once.
