nine football player occurred during

Aroused by the appalling record of
the year. movement has been inaugu-
rated by the faculty of the University
Of Pennsylvania to inject tame spirit
into the sport. The U. Of P. came out
the other day in favor Of a strict revi-
sion of rules and will seek the cooper
alton Of all the colleges throughout the
country.
kilograms recently received from
presidents Of many Of the colleges in
dictate hearty support of the movement.
In letter sent out by the q. Of p.
faculty to every college in the country
a rule is recommended preventing the
procurement of good players from 9TH
er colleges ''by social or money induce
ments;" also the players must in fu-
ture be genuine students of the colleges
they represent. No student who has
taught athletic sports for pecuniary
profit shall be allowed to play on
college team. Rules are recommended
inficting penalties for unnecessary
roughness, piling up, the use of the
open hand and elbows, smuggling, kneel-
ing and other equally unsportsmanlike
conduct
Any player who after being suspend
ed for brutality shall repeat the offense
shall be dismissed from college. The
Rules, if Endorsed by all the colleges,
will go into effect next season.
The death Of Harold P Moore of Og-
densburg, n. Y, the other day in New
York will have the effect, according to
| WOIu lldC HIS DCCu TGCO1VOQ, OF dDOl1S0-
Ing the game at Union college, where
he was a student. President Ray
mond of that college has long been an
ardent supporter Of reform in football
tactics. This year he has expressed
himself vigorously against the brutality
manifested in all the college games.
After the killing Of Moore, Chancellor
MacCracken Of the New York univer-
eity, impressed that some stringent ac-
ton should be taken against football
brutality in future, sent a telegram to
President Eliot of Harvard asking him
to take the initiative. His telegram
stirred the president up, but not in the
direction the chancellor had expected.
"Why should he ask me to call
meeting of college and university presi.
dents?" demanded Professor Eliot.
I'm not the one to do this thing. It
should come from a body Of men rep
