Says the Stanford Committee.
Associat. res. llsuatcn ur rt.ciai wires
Stanford University. California. Jan. 10.
The faculty athletic committee has
made public its annual report 20 President
David Starr Jordan on the condition OF
university athletics
On the subject Of football reform. the
committee submits as its opinion that
close formation in play should be abol-
ished; that the modern game has deteri-
GRATED from O sport to a business; that the
game is exclusive, since only men Of heavy
weight can participate, and that the game
is no longer in any sense a college sport
since students do not organize volunteer
teams to play for the love Of the game.
Dealing with the game of baseball. the
committee declares that baseball is on a
distinctively lower level than any other
college sport, both as regards the spirit Of
amateurism and Of courtesy and fairness
Of play.
The faculty investigators commend
tennis, track work and rowing TO a more
liberal participation by students, as being
helpful and manly sports.
