DEFENSE OF FOOTBALL.
Sport Is Generally SIisjudged by
Those Who Do Not Understand.

From the Kansas City Journal.
In the course Of a football season.
when the list Of injured begins to grow.
there annually arises a query as 10
whether football is not as brutal IS
prizehghting. Men whose knowledge of
the college game is limited, and whose
comprehension Of II is modelled upon
lines along which they are accustomed
to think, are all too ready to declare
that the ring contest IS chHd's play, as
far as brutality Is concerned. when COM
pared to the battle on the gridiron. They
are decidedly wrong. Two teams IrOt
out upon the field determined to uphold
the glory Of their alma mater to the
full extent Of their ability. They are
there to play football. and not to iniure
an opponent OF course. there are men
hurt, but IL Is rare indeed. when the
number Of players is considered. that a
coliegian Is seriously injured. However.
whether or not accidents Of this nature
occur, the fact remains that they are
purely accidents When an injury is due
10 any other cause.-The game has ceased
to be football, using the collegian's un-
derstanding Of the term.
In the prize fight, two big men, one
often considerably larger than the other.
enter the roped arena, each with the ex-
pressed and avowed intention Of delib-
erately hammeriHg the other into in
Sensibility- One heavy weight may weigh
225 pounds, another $50 pounds, or they
may be practically even IN the matter
of weight, but the fact remains that il
is the purpose of each to use his strength
in hurting the other as much as posi-
Bile. TO deface the features, to draw
blood. The stake Is a cash one That
instantly separates the sport from the
gridiron game Sport for sports sake
removes the taint Of brutality.

PREDICTS BANNER SEASON.
Coach Stagg Sees Great Year Ahead
for Football

Chicago. Sept &-Footban through
out the country will break all records
for highly developed play and public
interest this season. according TO Coach
A. a. Stagg, Of the University OF Chi
cago, who returned TO the Maroon
camp yesterday from Battle Creek.
Mich, where he has been preparing for
the gridiron season. Coach Stagg de-
clared that the game would reach its
highest point as the result of the new
rules and a great reaction in public
sentiment
The Maroon professor believes that
the football situation in both the East
and West is the best il has ever been
in spite Of the reform" laws Chica-
go's prospects are excellent and the
Maroons are assured of team. the
equal, if not better. of last years
combination, he declared.
Public interest in football this fall
Is going to break all records" said
Stagg- The people all over the coun-
try are football crazy as the result
of the taste Of the new game they got
last year near the close of the
season. There is going to be a big
reaction from last year. when many
believed football was about to step
down and out
The forward pass Is responsible for
the public's great interest It viii be
highly developed this year. and people
are waiting 10 see what can be done
with IT, It's possibilities are practi-
cally without limit. and the game viii
be spectacular in the extreme for the
spectators.
''Our prospects are anything but
gloomy, from the present outlook We
have not suffered any more than the
rest of the schools by loss Of stars.
Purdue and Illinois have more old men
back than we have. but the rest Of the
colleges are not fixed any better than
Chicago. The conference teams will
be more evenly matched than they
aave been for years. I believe. and all
the games viii be just that much more
interesting.
our team will be just as good as
last years team 1 don't like 70 put
IL any stronger than that now. but we
are sure not to take a slump. l have
been out Of touch with the other
schools all summer and know little
about their new men. I expect TO
have a big squad out next Monday.
and we will go TO work with a rush"

INTERNATIONAL SERIES WON.
Knowles Il on Way Here 10 Arrange
Games for English Teams.

New York Sept 2S.-New York may not
have a post-season series for the cham
pionship of Greater New York. but there
is stir in the breeze just now which
may bring something ten times better.
r g. Knowles, founder Of baseball in
England, is now on his way 10 America
with documents on his person which seek
T. bring about "a series Of games for the
International championship between the
best clubs IN England and America.
Mr.. Knowles. who is a prominent lee
tUrer, went 10 England sixteen years ago.
and being as crazy about the national
game as Louis Mann and Jim Corbett. he
couldn't do without it. So ne put a base
ball notion into the heads Of Great Brit
ain, and to-day there are more than tweu-
~ clubs IN England. formed into three
leagues, drawing crowds of from 1900 TO
l00c0 a day. He says some OF these clubs
can play fast article Of baseball. They
have been thoroughly coached by Ameri-
can players. and have learned the fine
points Of the game almost as well as the
better minor league clubs in America.
Mr.. Knowles thinks the time is about
ripe to have one Of the English clubs
come over here and tackle the winners Of
the worlds championship, as We call IT in
this country. If that cannot be arranged.
he wants an American team to invade
Europe and show the English people just
what science the game has really attained.
Mr.. KnovAes is candid enough to say
that he does not expect an English team
90 win. but he believes they will put I'D a
hard fight He says they are a little crude
yet in base running but in hitting the
Englishmen are very clever.
Mr Knowles will make a tour of the
United states while over here, and he ex-
poets 90 talk baseball wherever he goes,
with the hope of ultimately bringingabout
an international series every year.

dressing for a society function, rather
hurriedly as it happened, and did not
have time to select a tie. His habcr-
dashery like that of all literary men,
is frequently in disorder. The bunch
of ties happened to be in a dark place,
but that made no difference. Mr. Nor
gan's green tie and fiamboyant thatch
made a combination that got all the
prizes at the function, and he wasn't
aware that he had made the fortunate
selection until he got in the glare of
