CENTRAL CANCELS.
Calls Off Game With Quakers or
Account of Adverse Criticism.

Central High School has Cancelled the
game in Philadelphia November 26 with
the Central High of that city. but there
are indications that the two cities may
yet clash on the gridiron. as the Manual
Training School team OF this city Is anx-
iOus to fill the date.
Coach Kirby of Central said this morn
ing that the game was called off on ac-
count OF the rising criticism OF the game
in this city. and all things thing con-
sidered it has been thought advisable to
write the Philadelphians to that effect.
Several of the boys parents have prac-
tically forbidden their sons to play. If
the team should go to Philadelphia minus
the players whose parents object to the
game the Central High School of Wash
ington would have to substitute weaker
men and all chances Of victory would
be Obliterated.
Coach HecoX of Manual Training has
been after game i'm Philadelphia this
season. and the opportunity now offered
may result in a lively game between
his team and the Quaker city boys. A
dispatch from Philadelphia states that
the manager of the Central High School
team of that city is willing to take on
Manual Training School for November 26.

GOOD WORD FOR FOOT BALL.
But President of Virginia Thinks
Game Should Be Changed.

RICHMOND Va. November lie. A.
Alderman, president of the University OIL
Virginia. who acted as an honorary pail
bearer at the funeral yesterday alter
noon of Archie Christian, who was killed
at foot ball in the Virginia Georgetown
game i'm Washington Saturday. last night
made the following statement, in which
he reaches the conclusion that the peril
of death must be eliminated from foot
ball or the game abandoned:
Organized athletics has brought into
American college life distinct elements
of good and of difficulty, and foot ball
as the intensest form OF organized ath-
letics has brought special group OF
good things and of Objectionable things.
When the total is summed up, however,
the element of good exceeds the ele-
ment of evil
THE trouble with the game of foot
ball, to my mind. is that the risk of life
IL inordinate. Danger to life exists in
the rules of the game deliberately plan
ned and deliberately maintained. Many
of the serious injuries resulting from
playing the game are inevitable under
these rules Intelligent, resolute and
concerted action should be taken to re-
move the inordinate risks of life involv-
ed in this great sport. The intercolle-
giate athletic committee, whose function
II is to study the game and check the
dangers existing in it, has not yet struck
at the root of the trouble.
The public has a greater responsible
ity than il is aware of in this matter,
and IL must share the responsibility with
the colleges and with the committee
having it in hand to control the game.
The great popularity of the game is due
to the interest IL has for thousands of
persons. and il will never be changed as
il should, despite the desire of the col
leges and the intercollegiate committee
on rules. until the temper of the people
demands such change.
II believe il would be a calamity to
take out of college life the discipline that
springs out of such a great game as
foot ball, demanding the exercise of
splendid manly qualities, but I do believe
and deliberately declare that the peril
of death and injury inherent in the
strategy of this game should be elmi-
mated or the game itself abandoned"

For ten years Hillman has been one
of the worlds greatest athletes AS a
low hurdler and quarter-miler he had no
equal. Record after record he smashed
in the hurdle races and he ran mere
quarter miles in forty-nine seconds than
any other man in the world He won
hundreds of championships. including
Olympic, national. Canadian. metropoli-
tan and military. and his victories ran
into the thousands.
AS great as he was as runner he
was even greater i'm popularity. Never
was he accused of deliberate fouling, and
whether victorious or defeated his de-
meanor was the same. He was a good
loser. with the result that he was i'm
mensely popular with all athletes.
Hillman began his athletic career In
1899. when he Joined the 18th Regimeht'
For three years he competed for his regi-
ment and scored many victories. In l9e
he won his first championship. Within a
week after each other he captured the
national junior and senior low hurdle
titles The following year he captured
hurdle events in the metropolitans.
At the Olympic games in st. Louis. in
1904, he smashed three world records.
He was on the American teams which
swept the boards at Athens and In Lon
don. In the former he was unable to
compete On his way to Greece wave
which struck the vessel injured his knee.
At the London games he ran in the 4oo-
meter hurdle event. but was beaten by
his chum. Charlie Bacon.
With Hillman out of the ranks the
fight for stellar honors i'm the quarter
mile event is somewhat cleared. Al
though he has not been at his best Tor
several months. it was the general be-
lief that he still was the fastest man
at this distance. The fight now lies be-
tween Jim Rosenberger of the Irish
American Athletic Club. Melvin Shep-
pard, the "mid-distance king" and w. j.
Hayes OF Philadelphia. This trio has
shown great bursts of speed, but none
has ever beaten Harry when he was at
his best.

LADS LAND
IN SECOND PLACE
Defeat Western High in Hard
Battle by the Score
of 5 to o.

The most important game OF the high
school foot ball series was played yes
terday afternoon, when the Central and
Western teams fought for the honor of
second place i'm the league. The result
was a surprise to many of the followers
OF the game. as the Central team. which
for two years has tried to shove touch
down across the Red and White line, did
score being : to o.
Central scored a touchdown two years
ago on the boys from Georgetown. when
Hamilton got under a forward pass and
ran the entire length Of the field for a
touchdown. His brother, who is now cap
tain and left halfback for the Blue and
White team, carried the ball over for the
score yesterday. The score came in the
early part of the second half, and the
player was given a rousing cheer by the
large crowd In attendance.
The first half was nip and tuck. with
Western i'm possession of the ball a
greater part of the time. Central had
a chance to score I'm the first half. when
by line plunges the leather was carried
to the l-yard line, but just as Hamilton
was about to cross the line the ball
slipped from his arms and Western
player grabbed II and ran ~ yards before
being dOwned.
Central opened the second half with
an Offense which made big holes in the
Red and White line. Hamilton, on the
first run. getting through Pierce's end
for A. yards Western. however, took
brace and secured the ball on downs.
They were unable to do anything with
the Central line. and the latter team
again secured the ball.
From this time the winners made steady
ha a
to the fJ-yard line. Hamilton was then
called and carried the pigskin over for
the score.
Hamilton, Reuter- and Stack played fine
games for the winners. while Garner was
the star for Western. Guy ran his team
we'll but made a blunder in the second
half, with but five minutes to play. The
leather was resting on the 2J-yard line
when he called for a place kick, and the
ball went wild.
