County Attorney Alben Barley
filed an ex parte suit in circuit court
this morning to construe section 1S6d
Of the 1909 Kentucky statutes. The
statute relates to the requiring Of the
county road supervisor to make a
bond of twice the amount OF the mon
ey in the road fund, but under the
new law the money is not in his
hands. and some of the officials think
a stipulated sum as bond will suffice.
An effort will be made to have Judge
Reed pass on the suit at once.

BITS OF GOSSIP IN
THE SPORT WORLD

Football is a game for little boys,
not a paStime for powerful men," says
Dr.. Charles w. Eliot, president emeri-
tus of Harvard. Once more DR.. Eliot
has shown that he is not in touch with
young America Little boys like foot
ball so well that they make careful
study of it's possibilities when they
become powerful young men. Having
retired from active participation they
follow it in the newspapers and watch
it with enthusiasm from the grand
stands every year. Those who speak
of football as a brutal game use ad-
jectives recklessly. They are like the
agitatOrs who address crowds on the
street. The appeal is made to the pas
sions, not to the intellect. In all the
diatribes against football not one of
them has been based on a fair state
ment of facts. If you grant false prem
Uses you can get any old kind of a
conclusion.

Medical Man For
Football Official

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-The remedy
for football does not lie in the abolition
of mass plays as they are now execut-
ed, nor does suitable protection for
young athletes necessitate the aboli-
ton of the game itself. There is moth
ing seriously the matter with the game
as it is played today, but there is
something seriously the matter with
the chances eager coaches permit their
players to take.
A capable official with a medical
training and with authority to remove
from the game man who is physical
ly and mentally unfit to play longer
contest. A constant. close range OBJ
servation of the men should be his
valve for the ambitious and gritty
young fellows who would rather fall
helpless in their tracks than give up
voluntarily
The coaches who have the interests
of the players at heart are too far
away to judge always of their condi-
ton, and the judges of play are too
busy with their manifold duties to sec
the signs of collapse in player, as

BILE fioht is ridiculous. There is plenty

come together before the. danger point
is reached and in the majority of cases
the men know just how to receive the
shock
But the situation is entirely differ

and it is no credit to the sport to say
that players often go through a game

that they We're out on the field to op
