TOO MUCH RISK IN
FOOTBALL GAME
President Alderman Advocates
Changes In Rules
THE PUBLIC SHOULD ACT
Not Only Colleges but the American
People Must Take Action to
Eliminate Danger in Football
Says Alderman.
THE PUBLIC SHOULD ACT

Richmond. Va, November 16.-President
Alderman OF the University of Virginia,
made statement of his views on the sub
ject of football here today, in which he
says in part
Organized athletics has brought into
American college life distinct elements
of good and Of difficulty, and football, as
the intensest form of organized athletics,
has brought special group of good
things and of Objectionable things. When
the total is summed up, however, the
sum of the good far exceeds the sum OF
the evil.
1.-THE trouble with the game is that the
risk of life inherent In ii is inordlnate
II is perfectly clear that intelligent, reso-
lutte and concerted action should be taken
to remove this inordinate risk. There ex-
lists an intercollegiate athletic commit
tee whose function 1t Is to study the
game, to the end that 1t may constantly
check the dangers existing in It, The COM
mittee has not been idle, but II has not
yet struck at the root of the trouble. The
authorities of American colleges should
stand behind this committee and Insist
that it find and remove the elements of in
ordinate danger in the sport. The Amer
lean public should also take similar
stand In this matter.
IL believe it would be a calamity to
take out OF college life the discipline that
springs out OF such great game as
football, but | do believe and deliberately
declare that the peril and injury inner
emit in the strategy of this game should
be eliminated or the game itself aban-
doned."

| PEERS TRYING To
REJECT BUDGET
Premier Asquith of England Is
In Very Tight Place
HE CABINET WILL STICK
What Steps Asquith Will Take Are
Not Known Except That He viii
Fight Lansdown's Move to
Finish.
HE CABINET WILL STICK

London, November 1.-THE terms OF
Lord Lansdowne's motion to reject the
budget, of which he gave formal notice
In the house of lords that 300 peers will
municated TO Premier Asquith at an early
hour and discussed by the cabinet coun-
ell during the course of the day. The
unionist anticipate that 800 peers will
support Lord Lansdowne, while the sup
porters of the government in the house
OF lords number only 40.
On the rejection of the budget bill 1t
is expected that the premier will move in
the house of commons a resolution
strongly condemning the peers action, af
frming the sole right of the house Of
commons TO deal with the matters Of
taxation and declaring the peers at
tempt to force dissolution to be un-
constitutional.
What further course Premier Asquth
Will take Is not yet known but II is quite
unlikely that the cabinet Will resign UNI
less the government is defeated at the
elections.
Mr. Balfour. the leader of the opposition
in the house of commons, is to believer a
speech at M0ncnester TOMORROW HiBht,
and will probably outline the unionist
party election manifesto In the mean
time. Winston Spencer Churchill is first
in the field with a manifesto from the
liberal standpoint
In letter on the situation he claims
that the power TO force dissolution is tho
prerogative of the crown and that finance
is the exclusive power of the house of
commons. Therefore, he argues the re-
lection OF the budget Is a double Invasion
by the lords, both of the royal preroga-
tiyes and Of the common privilege, and
that further. If the lords establish at the
general election their right to control
the countrys finance they will make
themselves the predominant power In the
state by their ability to destroy the
budget, stop the Kings revenue and force
the dissolution of parliament
The liberal newspapers this morning
November 10 describe Lord Lansdowne's
motion as an act of war. The Daily
Chronicle In an editorial declares that not
since the revolution Of 1858 has the right
of the commons To control the finances
of the country been challenged.
THE lords" says the paper, have
chosen the way of destruction. 1t is as
though some malien influence has been
at work TO bring the house of lords be-
fore the peoples gaze with all Its inn
PROJECTIONS on It's head. Bold and un-
ashamed, It Is standing forth as the
selfish defender of privileges In land and
liquor and the champion OF taxation on
food. A more shameful conspiracy
against the commonwealth has never
heen unmasked +"
