MINNESOTA is FIRM
FRIEND OF FOOTBALL

Sentiment among faculty members and stu
dents at the university is unanimously opposed
to the action which has been taken suspending
football at Columbia and Harvard, and there is
no possibility Of drastic measures in regard to
the game at the University Of Minnesota. In
fart, many of the university authorities look
the Harvard and Columbia actions as grand
stand' plays, and predict that both of these
institutions will be represented by football eleV-
next fall.
In support Of the theory that the two eastern
institutions do not intend under any conditions
to abandon the game one Of the leading men
in the university faculty called attention today
to the fact that even at Columbia President
Butler had gone before his students and assured
them that the Columbia action did not mean
the adjustment Of football at that institution.
It is also pointed out that in the cases Of both

There are members Of the Minnesota faculty
who believe that football should be abolished.
but they are greatly in the minority. and owing
to the strong sentiment in favor of the game
among the instructors and authorities there will
be no movement toward reform measures other
than have already been taken.
The situation at Wisconsin is Of more interest
to university people than the situation in the
east, and there is general feeling that there
is no possibility Of the adjustment Of the game
at the badger institution. The Minnesota Daily
this morning printed the following from the
Cardinal, the Wisconsin daily publication which
expresses the feeling Of the Madison students In
regard to the game: .s-
Football has developed loyalty to Wisconsin

cliques; football has held us together under one
