COLLEGE SPORTS

Football and Its friends may now be
said To have won Il substantial victory.
The complete reversal OF the radical
faculty representatives of the Big
Nine of the Middle West, together
with the very sensible reforms adopted
by the intercollegiate Rules Committee
now ending its sessions, marks n prog
ICss which fully rCfutCs the dire prOph-
.ccics of evil made by certain OF oUc
most eminent educators not long age,
For once hystgrin seems to have dis
appeared ana the conscientious men
who have been selected to leigslatC the
welfare Of the game have been able To
reason together without the threatened
suspension OF the game hanging over
their heads. There are bound TO be
serious differences Of opinion regarding
the wisdom Of certain changes made IN
the football rules But the public de.
mands changes. Now II has them a
plenty, Let II make the best of them,
With the new rules under which the
game is to be played virtually agreed
upon, there will be unusual activity In
spring football practice, Heretofore
this preliminary work has been held
or omitted according to the needs OF
the various universities and colleges.
This year there is no institution espCc-
tally amongst the larger ones, which
would dare to risk its success In the fall
without long period OF Spring train.
ing, This is necessary for two reasons.
First, the adoption of q rule making
freshmen and first year students incl
igible for Varsity teams, limits the
candidates for the 1906 clcycns to the
students now in college minus those
who graduate In June and those who
have reached the limit of their ellglbll-
ity. Second the changes in tho rules
prevent vast number of problem9
which can be solved only by actual

Cornell always in the lead to cnCour-
age rowing, has planned the novel
scheme to further COON this sport. 1t
Is now proposed to organize crews In
all of the departments Of tho univer.
siiy and then to set aside one week for
a series Of inter-dcpartmCnt races. with
preliminary, scmi-llnal and final heats
for the determination Of the univcr-
sity rowing championship. This is an
Improvement over the dumping races
introduced at Harvard last fall by
Capt. Fillcy. But the scheme should
not only he confined TO rowing. II
should be extended to all major sports,
not only ut Cornell but all the uni
vCTsitiCs of both East and West. This
would certainly rebound ~ the physical
