CHANGES IN FOOTBALL.
Chicago University Starts Movement to
Make 1t Less Dangerous.

Chicago, Nov. 1s.-Football is in for
another overhauiing. Members of the
University of Chicago board of physi-
cal culture and athletic at a special
meeting yesterday branded the gridiron
game as needlessly and prohibitively
dangerous. and started action aiming
at important changes in the playing
Jules to guard against accidents.
p The Chicago officials went on record
as opposed to the game in its present
form and instructed Coach A. a stage
to so notify the conference representa-
tives. Coach Stage will raise the ques-
tion at the Big Eight meeting to-
morrow afternoon This move is the
first of the sort taken by western
college. and is admittedly the out
growth of popular protest against the
heavy annual toll of deaths and injur-
les on the gridiron.
THE conference. of course. can make
no changes on its own authority" said
Coach Stagg. THE actual changing
will be up to the rules committee of
the United States intercollegiate asso-
citation, and I think it IS probable that
that body will act in a decisive way"
