RELATIONS
SEVERED BY PENNSY

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.-The Of
fetal statement as to the closing Of
athletic relations between Harvard and
the University Of Pennsylvania, as given
out by Old Penn. the graduate maga-
zine. shows that the break is of wider
dimensions than at first reported. 1t
was said first that basketball only was
meant
The announcement in Old Penn is as
follows:
1T is announced that all athletic rela-
tions with Harvard University have been
discontinued by order of the faculty
athletic committee. While it has been
matter of public notice that relations
with Harvard have been very inhar-
moniOus, IL has not been possible even
for university members to know the
whole story.
The action was not taken until after
several weeks of discussion and consid-
GRAFTON, and we may be sure that the
spirit of the decision is In the best in
ierests of the university. If there are
those who regret that so sweeping
severance has been made. they will rec
ognlze that the causes which have led
10 II must have been of a very serious
nature, and we believe that IL meets
with a general and hearty approval but
az the same time with a deep regret that
II should be found eXpedient."

football season of 1896 comes definitely
TO an end.
Il has been a remarkable season In
many respects. Naturally, the matter
OF the new rules is one Of the most fruit
ful sources Of conversation among the
football men.
Broadly speaking, the new rules have
been remarkably successful. That they
are perfect or have brought about ali
the Improvement hoped for in the game
Will not be claimed by any one On
the other hand. it will be denied by no
one that the new rules have made great

much less dangerous game.
There have been during the past sea-
son II deaths and 100 serious casual
ties on the gridiron. Last season there
were IS deaths and 159 casualties.
The most significant feature is The de-
crease in the casualties among high
school players. In 1913 II high school
players were killed and A. injured This
year received injuries which resulted

This is a rem rkabIy good showing

SUMNER BALL FOR
WESTERN COLLEGES!
At Conference Meeting To-
day Subject is Being
Discussed.

CHICAGO, Dec. When the Western
college conference. which is in session
today, announces the result of its de-
liberations, It is likely that The game Of
football, which il did its best TO XIII

II seems likely that a seven-game
schedule. instead of FIVE, viii be per-
mitted, thus giving every team a chance
20 break even on expenses during the
season. II will also add to the interest
IN the game which was just starting
this year when the season ended.
Michigan and Chicago May Meet.
A AIichigan-Chicago game is likely
outcome Of the conference proceedings.
After year in which football Ian
guished because of poor schedules and
lock of opportunity for those who love
the game TO STE first-Class contests. the
conference decides that most of the re-
forms instituted have been accom-
plished
Perhaps the most nl-advised move
ever made by governing body In col
lege athletic sports was the abolition Of
me training table. The training facility
Is most sane arrangement. and one
calculated 10 avoid physical injury more
than any other circumstance OF foot
bail.
Training Table Necessary.
Giving the players a game requiring
more careful training than ever before
and removing one OF the chief essen
tials OF training was an Illogical move
The conference cannot go far wrong
in resembling this rule.
Summer baseball Will be up again for
discussion. y number Of the Eastern
colleges take a sensible view of this
sport. They say that any young man
Whp likes baseball is going to play il

athletic rules forbid him doing so. in
nine eases out of ten. he will use decep-
ton and play under an assumed name.

that a faculty has no business TO cur
tail his personal privileges thus far
