MacLean Ha. Suggestions.

IluGS.1GDuDICdn
Des Moines, Nov. 20.-How to modi-
fly the casualty record of football is
Virtually the purpose of "a. great college
conference soon to be held in the east
and it is the theme of a symposium BE-
ing gathered by Casper Whitney, the
sporting authority. President MacLsan
of Iowa State University will con-
tribute to the symposium and the uni
versity will send a delegation to The
conference.
President MacLean is of the opinion
that, among other things, it would be
possible to greatly improve conditions
by strengthening the officers of the
game on the field. "The officers are
now very hard worked" he said while
here attending a meeting of the state
board of educational examiners "They
have all and more than they can do.
1t may be best to add at least one
more. Then they should be carefully
selected and be men of good judge
ment and we'll trained. They should
be we'll paid, so as to secure the best
talent possible, and it seems to me
probable that this would go far toward
lessening the accidents of the game.
~ s'NS SAASNe ALL. h1eoS5 lleaS Su66 cSISU
some changes largely with a view to
making the game still more open. 1t is
suggested that there be only two downs
instead Of three and that the distance
be fifteen vars instead of 10, also that
the dragging of players be forbidden.
These changes would make quite a
difference and prevent so much of the
mass playing in which practically all
the injuries occur. 1t seems to me that
1t would be good policy also to arrange
it in some way so that when the officer
of the game sees that a down is in
evbtable he can blow his whistle and
stop the play before the men have a
chance to pile up on each other. That
which is done is done after a player
is down with the ball and practically
all the players are on or over him is
not science nor of interest"
In regard to the recent troubles Of
students at Iowa City over an attack
on>a theater President MacLean states
that 1t grew out of an entirely innocent
error on the part of the yell master in
making announcements that the theater
would be free to the students. But as
matter of fact the damage done was
not as great as has been represented
and 1t was due to a great degree to
outsiders.

ped from one state, territory, or dis
trict of the United States to another

of the purchase price of the liquor e.
fectually prevents any C. o. ID. BUSH

Violation Will be Costly.
The statute makes it illegal for any

ton with the transportation of liquor,
the purchase price of the liquor or any
part of 1T, before, on. or after delivery
from the consignee or any other person

Washington, Nov. 20.-Members Of
congress who have arrived for the first
regular session of the sixty-first con-
gress, express themselves as appalled,
at the increasing List of football fatali-
ties, and some Of them have suggested
the advisability Of passing legislation
Iabolishing the game at West Point and
Annapolis and at all institutions Of
learning that receive federal aid. They
believe that Uncle Sam should place
the seal of his disapproval upon the
game as at present played.
If such a step We're taken, it would
affect the agricultural and mechanical
colleges in all the states and terri
tories, which last year received $2,000,-
900 in federal aid. Some of the north
ern states have two of these inst
tons, the celebrated Boston School of
Technology being one. Sixteen states
south of the Mason and Dixon line
have separate colleges of this class for
colored students.
In some instances state universities
would be affected. In Missouri Min
nesota, Wisconsin and other states, the
agricultural and mechanical colleges
are maintained Jointly with the uni
versities. In those states where COL
leges are separately maintained, the
Universities would not be affected, ex-
cept by example.

Which has ong-established reputa-
ton as an educational institution, and
other schools of that stripe, also would
be obliged to stop playing football if

The governing bodies of Georgetown
and George Washington universities,
the high schools and other institutions
in the District of Columbia, stung into
activity by the death of Archer Chris
tan of the University of Virginia as
the result Of injuries received on the
Georgetown field Saturday, have de-
cided to get together and seriously dis
cuss the future Of football at the ma
tional capital. The popular sport is
under the heaviest fire in it's history
in this city.
The expectation is that members of
congress will be largely Influenced by
the action of Washington colleges and
by popular sentiment in this city as
well as in their districts.
