Captain Pierce points out that the re-

by the efforts of the intercollegiate AS

football or such changes in the rules as
Will make fatal accidents unheard Of.
The American game of football sprang
from the--pld rugby game Of England.
In the latter country two styles of game
are now played-the rugby and the as
ISOLATION. In neither of these Is tack
ling permitted. AS a result there are
few fatalities.
Now, the question Is, Are we to adopt
the foreign game and abandon our own ?
Are we to modify the playing rules OF
the American sport, or are we to permit
the game to go on as at present played
These questions can only be solved by
some such organization as the InterCol-
legiate Association This body resulted
from the 1905 agitation against football
and, barring Yale Harvard. Princeton,
