POLITICS IN FOOTBALL REFORM
College Graduates in Philadelphia Raise
Question on Amalgamation.
tBy Telegraph to the Tribune. ]

Philadelphia, jan 10-JuSt now the foremost
question in football legislation among well known
college graduates here is not SO much what shall
be done as who shall do it. Shall there be a pre-
ponderance of influence in the rule making body?
is asked. In other words If there is union Of the
old and football rules committee shall four OF
the fourteen men be Yale graduates?
The general public has paid little or no attention
10 the institutions from which the chosen football
legislators were graduated. The same can be said,
in all probability, of the New-York conference
which selected a committee of seven. The men
were picked from the institutions they are now
identified with and are listed representatives Of
these institutions.
College men who have been identified with foot
ball In one way another have been thinking
over the matter, and, there is politics in foot
hall the same as in other branches of college and
university activity, they guard lest some
institution gets a balance of power The result is
that some alumni of Princeton, Pennsylvania and
Cornell in Philadelphia have pointed out that Yale

other institution. 1t is recognized by them that

QUIT OLD COMMITTEE.
HARV4RD AND YALE OUT
VIII Join Nese Football Committee
at Nert Meeting.
[Ry relegranh to rhe Trihnne. l

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 1o-The Harvard
athletic committee tonight, after passing a
resolution that it was unanimously in favor of
a continuance of intercollegiate football pro-
vided satisfactory changes can be made in the
rules, decided to withdraw from the Football
Rules Committee and send a representative to
the National Intercollegiate Football Rules Com
mittee, which called by Chancellor Mac
Cracker of New-York University.
In a statement issued after the meeting the
committee announced that Harvard withdraws
from the old committee in the hope that other
colleges will do likewise and so leave but one
football committee, which shall fairly represent
all the colleges in the country.
No statement was made relative to the report
of the graduate special committee, issued last
night, suggesting numerous changes in the rules

mittee this evening. will not be represented at
the meeting of the old committee in New-York
tomorrow night 1t is expected that the sug-
gestions of the graduate committee will be sub
mitted to the new national committee at its next
meeting.
The following is the statement made by the
Harvard athletic committee tonight:
Resolved, That the unanimous opinion of the Har-
tnuance of intercollegiate football at Harvard. pro-
vded the present rules and regulations under which
unsatisfactory be changed in such way as to be
Resolved, That the national football rules COM
mittee be Informed that Harvard intends to send
representative to the national intercollegiate foot
ball committee, and that it withdraws from the old
committee, with the hope that the other universe
ties there represented will do likewise.
THE proposed rules of the Harvard graduate
committee would not make feasible game of
football. So far as 1 they are hopeless,
and the suggestions of the committee entirely
inadequate"
This is the opinion expressed by Charles W.
Eliot the president of Harvard University. to-
night, of the reforms in the game of football
offered by the Harvard graduate committee, Of
which William T. Reid, jr. is chairman. The
executive head of the Cambridge university was
most positive in the expression Of his valuation
of the work of the Reid committee which has
been at work the football questions for the
last six weeks.
President Eliot's attitude may be the undoing
Of all the work of this committee The Harvard
athletic committee is the body which will ultt-
mately say whether these new rules are to be
Harvard's final stand. The athletic committee,
in turn. will act under the direction of the Har
ward corporation, of which President Eliot is the
head. If the latter has his way, Harvards stand
will be for something more radical than the Reid
committee advocated.

YALE FAVORS COMBINE.
WI Yote for Amalgamation Of

New-Haven, Conn, Jan. 10-Yale will recede from
the position thus far taken antagonstic to a COM
bination with the conference rules committee to
meet on common grounds in football reform. and
VIII instruct Walter Camp to vote for amalgama-
ion Of the two committees at the meeting in New
York tomorrow night.
Ths is the plan advocated by Mr.. Camp from the
start, but he has not been able to secure the sup
port of the Yale football undergraduate authorities
The Yale midwinter recess came during this discus
sion but the opening of college to-day the foot
ball men agreed 10 empower Mr., Camp to cast
Yales vote for amalgamaton. This is regarded as
a strong for Yale TO make. Mr.. Camp said
tonight that he did not know how the other col
Ieges represented on the football rules committee
would act. He added:
1 myself have believed all along that there should
not be rules committees and the confusion and
division resulting from such conditions l have
tried impress this the Yale authorities. with
the result that Yale is willing TO act in har-
mony with the other colleges.

Tigers. For Brown, Chase played good defensive
game and scored two of the four goals for his side
