But the hardest obstacle the Rugby
people had to buck up against was the
fact that reform" foot ball, the open
game. was having phenomenal sue
cess among the colleges. big and lit
tie, OF the East. Aleck Chalmers, cap
tain of Stanford's 1905 team, is dead
against the Rugby game. rs Rugby
a worthy substitute for the old game?"
he writes in response to Il request for
his opinion. IL can't say that it is.
There We're many objections to the
old game. but the only important one
is that of the mass plays They
don't appeal to the spectators, ana
much less to the player. Three hard
seasons OF such play is too great a
strain. Such plays should be done
away with, and they are done away
with in the game as it is now played
in the East.
There is no reason why this Amer
lean game can't be made even more
open than it is without further change
of rules-such as passing the ball on
kickoffs or after any kick. Its plays
and formations are more constant
than they are in Rugby. Every man
is detached and free to use his skill
as he is taught. In Rugby half of tho
players are strung out clear across
the field, while the ether half are
tightly TANNED together. heads down,
hands and arms used as ropes. one
foot for pushing and the other for
hooking the ball out. Such formal
ton is too much like mass play, with
main strength as the requirement.
I'VE changed to Rugby because the
American game was corrupted in the
East. now the new American game
has been adopted almost universally.
Why shouldn't We consider it-at least
give it one years trial?"
Others are with eX-Capt. Chalmers,
while there is a faction which is for
Rugby, fearing that if stand is made
for the other game the faculty will
put the ban on foot ball altogether.
Half loaf may be better than no
bread, but most men prefer to make
a bold try for the whole loaf. A good
argument brought forward by the
anti-Rugby majority is that next fall
the English fame will be harder to
boom than ever, because the new rules
have made good, and there will be no
such confusion as there was this year,
when the sport in any form was in
danger.

game is just as open, and-they en-
phasize this-more in accord with the
spirit of American sport, striking the
fairest possible balance between in
dividual work and team play. Second
ly, it was argued that the Rugby game
being new to the coast, could be sup
ervised from the start with the idea
of keeping out the evils of CONNER
cialism." But, is the answer, this
watchword "commercialism" is bor-
rowed from the East. and the spirit of
1t has never invaded the intercolle-
giate sport of the far West. Thirdly,
the advocates of Rugby argued that
Its adoption would do away with the
idea of sport for the sake Of winning,
and would be game for the many.
not for the few. To this the new
football people reply, with a years
experience to back them up, that this
year, as previously, the teams have
been pointed for final championship
contest, while the number of candi-
dates for the team was practically the
same as the year before.
A summary of the seasons history
shows that the attempt to introduce
Rugby into the preparatory schools
of California was a failure. High
schools in and about Frisco and the
neigh5oring cities played the game
under the revised Jules used univer-
sally in the East. In the high school
for Polo Alto, the Stanford town,
where the school authorities made q
determined stand for tbs English

Guy Haskins of Pennsylvania was the
individual star of the race. Through six
ana q half miles Of muddy going he kept
close to Whitley Of Princeton, who led
the field around the course, and in the
last quarter mile Haskins gradually drew
away and romped home a winner by 800
yards. He finished in excellent condition
IN 80 minutes l-5 seconds, which is II

P. Jones OF Pennsylvania last year over
the course.
The field was pretty we'll punched

eight who toed the mark at the start, six

What Forteney wanted was for the

FRESHMEN BEAT PREPs.
Closing Foot Ball Game Of the Sea-
son at Randall Green.

The final foot ball game of the season
OF 1907 at Kendall Green was played to-
day. when the team of the freshman
class lined up against that of the pre-
paratory schools Both teams played
members Of the GallaYdet College team
and a large attendance came out to see
tina game, which resulted in the freshmen
winning by 10 to O. It was originally in
tended that the team Of the Catholic Uni
versity should line up against Gallaudet
College. but this game was declared of
owing to the disarmament OF the Sormer
Organization.
The play today was characterized by
straight foot bail. It was expected that
the freshmen would run away with the
younger men Of the pre- paratory depart
menr, but the unexpected happened, and
the former had all they could do to make
enc touchdown on delayed forward pass
within one minute of the close of the
first half and another by straight line

half
Mosey of the college team and back
for the freshmen did conspicuous work.
while Hover was a close second. McIn-

star in the line of ground gaining for his
team, The line I'D was as follows:

MAY RESUME THEIR QUARTERS
Cavalry Apparently Not Needed on
the CHEYENNE Reservation.

In view of the general acceptance by the
Ute Indians on the Cheyenne reservation
at Thunder Butte, s. D., of the eondi-
tons imposed by the Indian agent, 1t Is
probable that the I'd Regiment of Cav.
airy now on patrol duty at that reserva-
ton will shortly be sent back to its reg
ular station at Dee Meines. Iowa. with
The exception Of one troop to remain there
throughout the winter as q matter OF pre-
caution. The Indian agent insisted that
the Utes should go TO work and send their
children to certain designated schools
They defnurred to the schools designated
on account of their distance from the res
ervation, and showed no disposition at
first to work for living. AS 1t was a
question of yielding or facing starvation
the Indians f1nally gave in. About half Of

The railroad near Rapid City, Idaho, and
1t is expected that others will follow their
example. In that event the United States
troops will be able to spend the winter in

BRooKLAND DEFEATED.

The foot ball teams Of the Rhode island

Both teams put up hard contest, and
it was not until time was called at the
end of the second half that the game
was decided. In weight the teams wero
about evenly matched, but the Methodist
team outplayed the Brookland eleven.
Time and time again the back field of
the winners tore large holes through their
opponents line, but when they got with

held.
Tie work of the officials was far from
being perfect and in consequence both
teams suffered. LIE Mat was the star
the winning team in ground gaining, as
he rarely failed to gain his distance when
he carried the ball. Palmer and Priest
also covered considerable ground. Boerfi-
