versity, Makes His Annual
Report to Board.
GAME HANDLED WITHOUT GLOVES
Says II Is More Brutallxing Than
Prize Fighting, Cock Fighting
or Bull Fighting.
All the Evils Of Football Have De.
scended Into Secondary Schools,
Where They Are Working
Great Moral Mischief.

Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 3.--The Am
erican game of football as now played
is wholly unfit for colleges and
schools, according to an opinion ex-
pressed by President Charles W. Eliot,
of Harvard university, in his annual
report to the board of overseers Of the
university. He declares that as a
spectacle 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 1t is childish to suppose that the
athletic authorities. which have per.
mitted football to become brutal,
cheating. demoralizing game, can he
trusted to reform It. The report de
clares that the game has reached a
point where II sets up wrong kind
of hero: that there is no such thing
as generosity between combatants any
evils of football have descended into
the secondary schools where they are
working great moral mischief.
Regarded as combat between
highly trained men," said the report
"the prize ring has great advantages
over the football field; for the rules
OF the prize ring are more humane
than those of football. and they can
be. and often are, strictly enforced.
The fight In prize ring between two
men facing each other Is perfectly
visible. so that there are no secret
denominations as in football Yet prize
fighting Is Illegal"
Continuing. the report declares that
football causes an unreasonable mum.
Der OF serious injuries and deaths
that the public has been kept ignorant
concerning the number and gravity OF
these injuries that many OF the seri.
GUS injuries are OF such nature that
In all probability they never can be
perfectly repaired; that violations OF
rules OF the game by coaches. train.
ers and players are highly profitable
and are constantly perpetrated by all
parties. partly as result OF the pas.
