The Football Outlook.

The Boston Advertiser. which always;
has wise word or observation ready
for changes in rules governing any
athletic sport says:
With such a unanmity of agreement
among coaches that the coming season
is to see more open football than we
have had for many years, the public
may grow dubious Coaches do rot
usually tell what they intend to do; but,
raj her. what they intend other coaches
shall do 1t is conceivable. even under
this years rules. that with one team
trained only in open play a heavier
team might make ground consistently
by modified system: of mass plays.
However. it is to he assumed that
coaches, as we'll as critics, have their
eyes open to the possibilities III that di-
rrction as well as any other. And it is
true that the rules were framed with
the idea Of bringing the play more into
the open. If they are successful III
that. football should be even more
popular than before. 1t is possible that
this may be the last year the Stadium
Will be open to the general pubic-at

past. We know, for example, that
President Eliot and the athletic COM
mittcc have urged that the mortgage
b. laid off as rapidly as possible; and
it has been the plea Of raising money
for the mortgage which, 50 far has
kept the college authorities from put

for the football games. When the

season under the old system, therefore,
may furnish an additional reason why
Harvard football will draw large
crowds in the next two months.

cuttiAd Ocean Passenger Rates.

"
No one knows where the cutting and
slashing of the ocean passenger rates
will go and probably no one outside the
steamship managers and stockholders
care, as those who can travel VIII
benefit and it makes no difference to
those who must stay at home.
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
at is difficult To see what is to be
gained by the struggle. at least for the
companies The rate war of 1904 IN
volvcd enormous lcsSes. but did not
essentially change the position OF the
competing lines at the termination ~
the trouble In the present instance the
warfare is intensified by the element OF
interna tional rivalry and by the ire
mcadouS advantage given the BRUSH
over their German competitors by inc
Government alliance with the Cu3ard
Line. 1t is this aspect of the affair mat
makes il most serious, ard there ar" no
present indications Of settlement such
rs either side would be willing to ac-
cept. The situation is one that trans
atlantic vOvagerS may view with Gem
placency, but in the larger aspect the
occa sion is one for regret and apprc-
tension"
1t also says that the origin of the
present trouble is in Obscurty but the
bitter rivalry Of the British and Ger
man lines is undoubtedly at the root of
it.
"Singularly enough. the trouble he
gan not between these two antagon-
lists, but between the Russian and Ger
man lines carrying emgrants from
Baltic and Black Sea ports. The Rus
slams began the cutting and the Ham
burg american and the Red Star fol-
lowed suit. Then came differences
over the transfer of the sailing point
of the White Star liners to Southamp-
ton and the rates established by the
Cunard for the LuSitania. According
To one authority, the German lines re-
garded the former arrangement as Il
violation of the COMPACT with the In
tcrnational Mercantile Marine and the
rates for the new CunarderS as unfair
competition. Rates for the tranSat-
Iantic passenger traffic are fixed with
regard to the speed of the ships, and
the minimum rates for both the Lusi-
tania and the Mauretania We're the
same as those of the first-clasS Ger
man vessels. although the Cunarders
make the proud boast that they are
both larger and faster
1T is alleged that the German Lines
cut :heir cabin rates with the idea of
meeting these conditions and at the
same time Of providing against the
further inrOa1S of the competition of
the large intermediate steamships put
into service by the British companies.
At all events, the cuts were promptly
met by the British lines. They were
at first confined to the east-bound
traffic. and have now been extended to
travel in both directions. Storage
rates thus far have not been affected.
but there is no doubt that if the strug-
gle is prolonged they too will be
brought into the arena of conflict"
