SPORTS AT COLLEGE CRYING EVIL
SAYS ELIOT, FOOTBALL BEING THE
LEAST USEFUL OF THE ENTIRE LIST


Cambridge, Mass. April 17.-In the
opinion of President Charles w. Eliot
of Harvard university as embodied in
his annual report to the board of over
seers. the exaggeration of athletic
sports in schools and colleges remains
a crying evil.
In general criticism of college
sports he reiterated his previously ex-
pressed opinions regarding football.
CHASING it as "the least useful of all
the games.
"The means of repressing the pre-
vailing exaggeration of athletic sports
are obvious, as was stated in the. last
report" says President Eliot. THE
number. of intercollegiate contests
should be reduced to two in each
sport during any one season. the rest
of the competition in each sport being
exclusively home competition.
Resulf In After Life.
THE American modification of Rug
| by football have now been played long
enough to make possible a judgmen
as to the success of eminent football
players in after life, and the verdic
lis what might have been expected.
