CFNiLEMAN'S GAME

Boston, March Charles w. Eliot,
president Of Harvard university, IN his
annual report, which win be presented
Ito the board Of overseers this week, main
tains that football, despite new rules,
remains an undesirable game for gentle
men to play or multitudes Of people to
witness. Dr. Eliot declares that football
is properly described BY the adjective
fierce" and that no game In which reck-
lessness Ia causing or receiving bodily
injuries figures or is fit for college use.
Basket ball and hockey are placed in
the same class with football. and he adj.
yises that intercollegiate contests til any
one sport be limited to two games, all
other games to be between teams made
up at Harvard. He also decries the EEK
ceases Of cheering which characterize the
present intercollegiate contests as abso-
lutely unnatural
The report says:
The game Of football was somewhat
improved by the new rules extorted last
year from its creators and managers BY
the pressure Of public opinion. Under
the new rules the game Is liveIier and,
therefore, more interesting 10 watch Ii
gives appropriate opportunities to sew
eral kinds Of natural athletes: and it
affords fewer opportunities for foul play
and brutality, whether deliberate and
planned, or sudden and accidental, than
the game under the former rules af-
forded.
Public opinion also compelled the en-.
ployment Of better kind of official, al.
though in respect to the number Of Off
cials the new rules were violated at
most Of the principal games BY consent
of the coaches and captains.
'eThe injuries inflicted on the Harvard
players were of the same character as
were suffered under the former rules, but
they wee much fewer in number. The
sP II Of THE game, however. remains an
undesirable game for gentlemen to play
or for multitudes Of spectators TO watch
mo game Is fit for college uses in
which men are often so knocked or crush
ed into insensibility or immohility that
1t is question whether by the applica-
tion of water and stumulants they can
be brought to and enabled to 90 on
playing. No game is fit for college uses
in which recklessness IN causing or suf-
fering seriously bodily injuries promotes
and 50 is taught and held up
for admiration. An extreme Teck lcssne4s
remains q grave objection to the game
Of football, and it also makes basket
