this point he reduced his selection to

FIGHTING OVER FOOTBALL.
Hiekering Of Students May End in De-
stroying the Game.

In the uproar raised among college
students and alumni of the middle
West by the action of the recent fac
ulty conference on football reform
there seems to be general overlook
ing of the main point, says the Chi
cago Tribune. From practically every
university belonging to the big nine, -
and some which do not, have come pro-
tests against this or that recommends
tion. So far as the students are con-
cerned there is unanimous approval of
none of the recommendations, but
their protests are directed at different
angles, according to how the reforms
will affect their own institutions.
1t is forgotten, apparently. that the
rae faculty representatives voted
Unanimously to recommend the aboli-
Lion of the game of football as 1t has
been played, and that several, at least,
of the universities will stand by that
action.
The faculties are weary of the pub
lies impression that universities are
founded to develop football elevens,
and that men go to college to earn
varsity sweater instead of degree.
They are weary of having great institu-
tions of learning lowered in dignity by
the prominence of game into which
so much is evil and unsportsmanlike
has been allowed to creep through the
overpowering desire to win.
They have determined to dethrone
the king of college sports by depriving
it of it's greatest attractions for the
public by cutting down its immense
revenues and permitting only limited
number of intercollegiate games in
year so as to prevent the deciding of
championship" If possible. They have
determined to reform the game until 1t
is so different its present admirers will
not like 1t. And the students and
alumni will find, when it comes to a
show of hands, that these faculties
will have the final say. Students and
alumni, who are bending all their eff
forts toward warding off some reform
which does not suit their own individ-
ual ideas or colleges, would do better
to direct their forces toward saving
some part of football. The retention

In winter the air of the close rooms in

lungs to burn out the foul matter in the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-

with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off. Relief can be had only
through the use of n remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and

adapted for this purpose is the great
