FOOTBALL TO Be
REFORMED AGAIN,

New York, Nov. 16.-The seasons
grdiron fatalities have started more
or less agitation among football men,
and according to Captain Palmer E.
Pierce, president of the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association of the United
States, there is likely to be some fur
Their reform in the game when the as
ISOLATION meets in this city Dec %.
Captain Pierce points out that the
reform from the dangerous mass play
to more open football was brought
about by the efforts of the Intercolle-
giate Association in 1905, and he be-
leves that if the game is to be made
still safer it will be this same organi-
cation that will have to do it.
Captain Pierce does not hesitate to
state that the list of accidents this
season shows that changes in the
game, which will insure safer compe-
titiOn on the football field, are desir-
able, and he even goes so far as to say
it is not out of the question 10 adopt
style of football which will eliminate
tdcking, as in the English game.
THE recent serious accidents result
ing in the deaths of several players
have" says Captain Pierce, again
focused public attention on the game
anG started a new agitation for either
abe abrOgation of the American game
of football or such changes IN the
rules as will make fatal accidents UNI
heard Of The American game of foot
hall sprang from the old Rugby game
OF England In the latter country two
styles of game are now !iayed-the
Rugby and the Association. In Meth
er of these is tackling permitted. AS
a result there ore few fatalities.
"Now, the question is, are We to
adopt the foreign game and alb .ndon
orr own? Or are We to mOdiiJ the
playing rules of this 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 organiza-
ton as the Intercollegiate Association.
This body resulted from the 1905 agi-
tation against football. Barring Yale,
Harvard, Princeton and Cornell near
ly all the colleges and universities in
the country where football is played
have become identified with the asso-
citation. 1t is not improbable that these
four will also send delegates to the
coming meeting"
