One Of the arrant bits OF egotisni
and bincombe through the campaign
recently closed has been the designa-
ton BY the insurgent element Of its
delegates as good government and
OF the delegates of the regular organ
Ization as 9machine. & The inference
sought to be conveyed was that the
machine delegations were opposed
to good government, and that the only

Statistics of the growth Of the

GAME WHOLLY
UNFIT TO PLAY
President of Harvard Condemns
Football as Now Played More
Brutal than Prize Fighting,

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Feb. 3.-Ihe
annual report of President Charles W.
Eliot of Harvard university says that
the American game of football as now
played il wholly unfit for colleges and
schools. He declares that as a spec
tacle for persons who know the game
football is more brutalizing than prize
fighting. cock fighting or bull fight
ing. and for the contestants he be-
lieves the rules governing football to
be far less humane than the rules
which govern the prize ring. He
adds that it is childish to suppose that
the athletic authorities which have
permitted football to become a brutal,
cheating. demoralizing game can be
trusted to reform it.
The report declares that the game
has reached a point where it sets up a
wrong kind of hero. that there is no
such thing as generosity between com
batants any more than in war and that
| all the evils of football have descend
ed into the secondary schools, where
they are working great moral mis-
chief. Regarded as a combat be-
tween highly trained men, says the
! report, the prize ring has great adj
| vantages over the football field, for the
rules of the prize ring are more hui
| name than those of football, and they
can be and often + strictly enforced.
The fight in a prize ring between two
! men facing each other is perfectly Wis
! ible. so that there are no secret abomi-
! nations as in football. Yet prize fight
ing is Illegal"
The report declares that football
causes an unreasonable number of Sc
! rious injuries and deaths, that the
public has been kept ignorant concern
ing the number and gravity of these
injuries, that many of the serious in
| juries are of such nature that in all
probability they eve can be perfect
" repaired, that violations of rules of
the game by coaches. trainers and
| players are highly profitable and are
/! constantly perpetrated by all parties
and that acts of brutality are con-
stantly committed. partly as n result

fighting. but often on well grounded
| calculations of profit toward victory.
ut is clearly the duty of the col
leges which have permitted these mon
strous evils to growoup and become in
tense the report continues. ito purge
| themselves of such inimoralities and
to do what they IA to help the sec
ondary schools to purge themselves
also. Intercollegiate and interscholas.
tic football ought to be prohibited un-
til a reasonable game has been formu.
lated and thoroughly exempliied in
the practice of individual institutions.
The perversions of athletic sports
in schools and colleges have tended tc
hold boys back from the university un,
til they have attained their full size
and weight. A common impression in
the minds of parents that a freshman
of nineteen or twenty has a better so
| cial chance at the university than 9
freshman of seventeen or eighteen anG
is on the whole safer. both physically
and morally. contributes to the unwist
postpOnement of entrance on college

Wrestling


Young Muldoon and Alex. Swanson
will settle the welterweight wrestling
championship tonight when they
meet at the Olympic Athletic club,
125th street and Lexington avenue.
inc bout is arousing much interest
among wrestling fans in Harlem.
where both principals in the bout live
and have large followings.
Swanson will likely weigh in heav-
Ter than Muldoon. The latter expects
to be near 142. In his lightweight
match with Bothner, Swanson tipped
the scales at IA after he had worked
hard for " weeks TO get within the
limit. 1t is pretty certain then that
ne will weigh around $50 when he
meets Muldoon. The latter, however,
does not fear the difference of q few
pounds.
The bout will be the last event on
an athletic programme which will in
clude some good wrestling prelimi-
naries.

the approval of the spectators. Blair

Buttle displayed rare form in his

Looking Into a Crater.

DR.. Hi. Bjoren has looked into the
crater of a volcano while its forces
were still threatening, and while its
fires were still incandescent. He
scaled the cone of Vesuvius and
peered into the depths Of the new
crater. From the throat Of the crater
he writes that he heard a constant
roaring, and saw that white cloud OF
vapor filed the huge hollow, but did
not see any elections of stones or
dust. The inner walls Of the crater
were nearly perpendicular, partly
overhanging, and he saw pieces OF
the narrow crater edge breaking
down, and In this way still enlarg-
ing the orifce. The bottom Of the
crater was not visible, but the walls
could be seen to a depth Of about
1000 feet. The ascent from Tore
DELI Annunziata demanded care to
avoid avalanches of stones and ashes
still rushing from the cone and
spreading over the slopes. The erup-
ton of 1905 resembles that Of rs,
which buried Herculaneum and Pom
peii, in the small quantity Of lava
elected and the immense amount OF
volcanic ash and lapilli.

Church Built of Coral.

A church built Of coral is one Of the
curiosities of the Isle of Maize, one
of the Seychelles islands, in the Indian
ocean. The Seychelles islands, which
are supposed by many to be the site
of the Eden Of the Old Testament,
form an archipelago Of ia islands, and
are situated about 1,400 miles south
east Of Alden and 1000 miles from
Zanzibar. ALI these islands are Of
coral growth. The houses are built Of
species of massive coral hewn into
square blocks, which glisten like
white marble, and show themselves
to the utmost advantage in the tinted
green of the thick tropical palms,
whose immense, fernlike leaves give
pleasant and much-nGeded shade.
