in the Movement.

aid this morning says:
with the presidents of four of the
leading western colleges enlisted in the
fight to eliminate brutal football, the

present day is doomed for a sudden
nverhauling was the stand maintained

Statements urging the immediate
revision of the mode of play were re-
oeived from President Judson of the
University of Chicago, President Cyrus
Northrop of Minnesota. President Van
Hise of Wisconsin and Chancellor
Samuel Avery of the University of Ne
braska. That the sport is fast becom-
ing a menace to the life and limb of
Ill participants is the opinion of the
educators.
ION the local gridirons Saturday
three victims were added to the list of
Injured. Captain Blinkhorn of the
Morton Grove team was borne from
he field. having fractured his collar
lone during a fierce scrimmage; James
sullivan of the Panther A. c. fractured
