President El;ot's fine distinction be-,
tween foot ball and prize fighting Is
worth noting. while the vein Of sarcasm
should not be lost sight Of, either. Ha
says in his annual report: "As spec.
tacle, for persons who know what the
game really Is, foot ball is more brutal
izing than prize fighting, cock fighting
Or bull fighting. Regarded as combat
between highly trained men, the prize
ring has great advantages over the foot
ball field; for the rules Of the prize ring
are more humane than those OF foot
ball, 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 foot ball. Yet
prize-fghting is Illegal The inference
is that President Eliot calls for the en-
actrnent Of law making foot ball H.
