New York. April s--Football came

although the game of football has

former foul play has been prevented
by the neutral strip and other de-
vices. the game still remains unfit Tor
college uses, affords a demoralizing
spectacle for the immense crowds
which gather to witness the CHER
games. and still provides on a great
scale the opportunity for that variety
of gambling called betting.
