FOOTBALL REFORM.

Not long since, few old fashioned
newspaper men were about the only
on0s to protest against the evils OF
football. And they too often did IL
by way OF adverse criticism OF the
higher institutions OF learning Now,
representative college men everywhere
are calling halt In present football
methods and demanding purer athlet-
les and more widespread sport. The
following are extracts from speeches
delivered nj u recent meeting OF the
Madison alumni OF the University OF
Wisconsin,
Prof. Il. S. Adams, faculty super
visor OF athletics: The masses OF the
students and Of the alumni arc diseon-
tented with present football evils. We
are fighting TO sustain the higher mis-
sion OF the university, determined
that IL shall not fall behind the moral
sentiment OF tho community, and that
II shall not forget its obligation to the
tax payers of the state OF Wisconsin
Intercollegiate athletics are
not yet abolished; that has not even
been discussed. But the brutality OF
the game of football must go; merco-
nary professionalism, immortality, de-
cet and corruption OF student sentl-
ment must go. Twelve or tiiteen men
are picked to- play the game by the
coaches who coniine MI their attention
TO the smallest possible number OF
players, and the rest OF the students
are drilled to support the team rs
rooters on the bleachers. Desire to
win leads the whole student body to
sacrifice everything to victory
Frederick j. Turner faculty repre-
sentative ut the football conference;
We have set up intorcolleg victory
as the highest aim and ambition OF
student life. At the root of the great
est evil of the situation Is the inordi-
nate, passionate, Enthusiastically
exaggerated desire TO get to the top,
The popular mind ranks II victory
over Michigan NJ II greater achieve
ment than scientific discovery. The
average college student would inf
nitely rather be sub-Quartorback
than make Phi Beta Kappa. We have
SGT up, in the first place, u wrong ideal
and then we have pursued 1t IN the
strenuous way which characteri2es us
as u people.
In his annual report President
Charles w Eliot OF Harvard lIniVcr-
sity says:
"As " spectacle for persons who
know the game football Is more hru-
taliaing thNn prize lighting, cock fight
lug, or bull lighting. And for the
contestants he believes the rules gov
erning football To be far less humane
than the rules which govern the prize
ring. He adds that II Is childish to
suppose that the athletic authorities
can be trusted to reform IL, The re-
port declares thai the game haa reach
ed Il point where 1t sets up wrong
kind of hero "Regarded ms " com
bat between highly trained men, says
the report "the prize ring has great
advantages over the football field, for
the rules of the prize ring are moro
human than those Of football, and
they are strictly enforced, The fight
in II prize ring between two men facing
each other Is perfectly visible, so thai
there are no secret denominations rs
in football. Vet prize fighting Is

Chicago June IAN advance Of almost
cents per bushel in the price OF wheat
occurred here today as the result OF ur-
gent buying brought out by numerous
reports Of damage TO the growing crop
The market closed nearly at the highest
point of the day, the July option showing
a gain OF 1kd2 cents Corn vas up 1lsEt
Ia Oats were UP q. Provisions were ~
to 255z0So cents higher.
Sentiment in the wheat pit was extreme
ly builish all day and there was a strong
demand from shorts and commission
houses The continuance Of the wet
weather in the northwest was chiefly re-
sponsible for the strength and activity Of
the market Early III the day the mar
ket was influenced somewhat by the
strength Of corn and oats, but later dam
age reports made the market independent
~ strong. AdVieeS were received that
black rust in the wheat fields OF Texas
and much damage by drought in Kansas
and Nebraska Higher prices for wheat
at Liverpool also increased the bulliSh
sentiment I'm the local market At times
offerings were very liberal, local longs
taking advantage OF the situation to Sc
gent that prices continued TO advance
steadily July opened a shade to va
cent higher at sli20S12z. advanced 10 e3h
and closed strong at S32s.
The trading in the corn pit was active
and the market was strong The chief
cause OF the firmness was that country
acceptances were light notwithstanding
the high lids that were sent out last night
by cash houses Small local receipts and
firm cables were minor influences Longs
were free sellers, but all offerings were
readily taken by shorts and commission
houses. The market closed sti'O-s and

Unusual activity prevailed in the oats
pit and the market was exceptionally
strong On initial transactions the de
msnd by shorts was so urgent that prices
showed wide fluctuations the range on the
July option being 1 cent on the opening
quotations The chief cause for the ur
gent buying was in numerous reports Of
damage by drought to the new crop. An
advance OF 1 cent a bushel I'm the price
of cash oats stimulated the demand for
options Liberal prOfit-taking caused
some recessiOns in prices but the market
closed strong July opened Is to IL cent
