Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 3.--''I If Har-
ward persists in its determination to
abolish football, Pennsylvania will
meet Michigan next fall, and probably
another western team said a. promi-
nent athletic authority of the Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania, who attended the
recent meeting Of the football rules
committee in New York.
=" All branches of sport save football
are losing propositions at Pennsylvania,
as at most. Of the big colleges. For
that reason the receipts from the foot
ball games must be large enough to
cover this deficit.
Without two big games a year this
would be impossible. In former sea-
sons the Harvard game and the con
test with Cornell on Thanksgiving Day
were depended upon to furnish the
means ! Of carrying on the other
branches of sports.
So. -. It has been the desire for some
time to cut Cornell out Of the schedule
but the inability to obtain a strong
attraction for that day has proved a
great drawback. Harvard g radical

the way and left an open field for
Pennsylvania to satisfy its desire for
a game with Yale and also to take on
Michigan.
Matters nave been working along
slowly, but as soon as it is positively
known that Harvard will not play next
fall, the new relations Of Pennsylvania,
Yale and Michigan will be announced y
Princeton may have crew entered
in the intercollegiate regatta at Pough-
keepsie in June for the first time since
early in the 's0's. For the opportunity
to resume rowing Princeton can thank
Andrew Carnegie, The ironmaster, who
built an artificial lake at Princeton
four miles long and a mile wide at the
broadcast point. This will place the
Htigers'' on the same footing as Penn
sylvania, Cornell. Yale and Harvard.
Ned Hanlan, the famous professional
oarsman, is mentioned as the first row
ing coach at Princeton. Altho Wis
eonsin has never won the varsity race
at Poughkeepsie, no college man will
deny that year after year the most
feared crew on the Hudson has been
the brawny athletes from Wisconsin.

Il conference, to put the snuffer upon
lot Of the football hysteria manifest
at the recent meeting in Chicago. The
dean has long been one Of the mainstays
Of football at the University Of Min
nesota, and as he has steered a sane
course in athletics his efforts should do
much to discourage lot Of the fresh
water college talk Of radical tendency.
Followers Of Minnesota football are
firm in the belief that: the brutality
should be eliminated from football and
that all muckerism should be sup
pressed. They are ready to accept any
rules which will bring about such
changes, but the thousands of followers
Of the game in Minnesota will not stand
for any such monkey business as lot
Of the fanatical ideas advanced at the
recent meeting in Chicago. The pro-
fessional coach deal was nothing more
than an attempt Of Chicago to get a
whack at Michigan, and the abolishing
Of the training table and the three-year
rule of play sound like the vaporings
Of fanatic.
Minnesota wants strong game-a
game for men-with all of it's virile
strength retained. A rough game is
wanted. Roughness does not necessarily

imply muckerism or dirty play, The
big nine representatives are largely
from schools having badly defeated
teams. These have nothing to lose by
any sort of rulings.
! These little chaps are attempting to
tell the big schools what they must and
must not do. The training table idea
is an idiotic one, as football accidents
and deaths of the past have all been
due to immature players or the playing
of men who are in poor physical con-
dition. The training table makes for
perfect condition Of players. The idea
!of a coach being member Of the fac
ulty looks like little joker, especially
when the inside workings of the con-
ference are known. It lands hard on
Yost and Phil King. It smacks Of
triekery. Trickery from high-minded
professors bent on reforming football
would not look well. ..-,
The students Of Minnesota and the
followers Of the game have not planned
any mass something's or remonstrances, as
Dean Jones has always attended, in his
quiet way, to Sitting the throat of any
fool legislation in the conference, and
altho defeated in the one semester rule
he went down fighting. The gophers
are looking for him to follow the same
| policy in regard to some Of the idiocies
Of that Chicago meeting. Some of the
requirements are sensible and Mime
sofa should concur in all that is desir-
able. When it comes to the fool moves
the gophers should buck like hy-stung
! broncho. If the dean lives up to his
| past performances in handling dreamers
the next meeting Of the august nine
| will find strenuous doings with a lot of
the fandangle resolutions looking as tho
they had been shot full Of holes with
a smooth bore shotgun. In making a
fight Of this kind the Minnesota repre-
sentative will have the whole Of the
university and some $4,000 football
rooters with him, to man. It would
be a notable victory in the face of the
small school opposition, but the friends
of the dean believe him capable of turn
ing the trick. In fact, they expect 1t.
