FOOTBALLS FUTURE
HANGS IN BALANCE
Sport S Continuance Demands
Lessened Danger to
Players.
NEW RULES ON TRIAL
Game Once an Amusement
Now Specialty-Chance
for Light Men.
NEW RULES ON TRIAL

During the next two months football
will be on trial for its right to exist
in colleges and high schools. Abol.
ished there the game could not flour
ish, and one of the best of American
sports would fall into disuse.
In spite of former efforts to Jesse,
the element of danger by changing thu
rules, football has steadily become
more hazardous to the players. The
keenness of college and high school
rivalry and the spirit which is bring
ing business and industry up to its
highest possible development are un-
doubleday the causes.
The game which one ranked only
one of q score of student amusements,
practically open to all, is known no
more. Now it is a specially. In
structors are employed at good sala-
ries. The men capable of acquiring
the greatest efficiency are sifted from
among the students by series of tho
most eXacting tests.
The best thought of some of the
brainest young men in the country is
given to the devising of new plays and
new schemes of defense. With the
increase of efficiency in the players
the danger, very naturally, has in
creased.
Last seasons record of fatalities
and injuries made the college and
school authorities pause aghast. Some
of them were in favor of prohibiting
football then and there. But in the
main the sentiment was for the pres
ervation of the game. and at once the
work Of changing the rules to insure
safety was taken up again.
The new rules, it is claimed, make
mere size and weight of less impor.
lance than they were and open up
possibilities for speedy and agile men
of lighter build than were formerly &C.
cepted. If this proves to be the case
the game will be the gamer thereby.
The results in match games are
what will count in the test this fall
The players should bear in mind that
thorough tactics may put an end to
the sport, at least temporarily. They
can i'll afford to roll up record of
deaths and serious injuries this year.
1t is to be hoped that they will eX.
ercise due caution. for football is too
good a game to be in disrepute.-

TEACHERS OUT OF JOBS
Trained Men and Women Doing Men.
iaI Work in England.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS evidence Of
the extent of unemployment among
college-trained teachers, and the pit
liable straits to which many of them
are reduced, is forthcoming in the
information forms which are now
being returned to the Unemployed
Teachers Committee at its new Offices
in High Holborn.
! The forms reveal new condition
of things that is little short of scan
dalous," said Mr.. Burrows, of the
Teachers Committee in a recent in
,terview. In London alone, of $50
students trained largely at the ex-
pense of ratepayers, who finished their
course of training in the London
County Council Colleges last July, only
ninety-five have been placed on the
college list. The rest have been
turned adrift to take their chance,
and very bad chance it is.
Here are a few answers We have
received from various teachers to
whom We sent information forms.
They are typical of the rest:

made 351 vain applications for EN-.
ployment as teacher.

Bob Edgren of the New York
Evening World again has stirred up
the story that there was "some-
thing doing" in the Jeffries-Johnson
affair.
1.-THE faxed stories about Jeffries,
published after the fight" he says,
ARE somewhat amusing to those
who knew the inside facts. Jim
Corbett, for instance, tells how JEFF
fries sat up in window all night
before the scrap, shivering in his
nightie and worrying himself sick
about his coming defeat. That is
rank nonsense, like all the rest of
the inventions.
"Jeffries did not sit up in his win
dow. He slept Is hours, and in the
morning they had to wake him.
There was a reason for that
and perhaps Corbett knows what it
was. But he doesn't tell it in his
monologue.
'Corbett gets off some other SEN
timental slush about Farmer Burns,
and how the Farmer. realizing that
Jeffries had broken down. stood
sobbing at Jeffries' side in his
dressing room before the fight.
Farmer Burns was the man in
Jeffries' camp When Corbett was
lying in bed in the morning or sit
ting around playing pinochle, or
playing handball, Farmer Burns
was up before daylight and out on
the road with Jeffries. never saw
Corbett on the road with Jsffries.
That was real work. Burns was
with Jeffres, faithfully, morning,
noon and night. He ran every mile
that Jeffries ran and even at night
he was often prowling around JEFF
fries quarters like faithful watch
dog, to see that nothing disturbed
the champions sleep.
Some of these days q few hither-
to unpublished details concerning
the defeat of Jeffries and the "a
hours that preceded 1t will be in
every paper in America. They will
make good reading, too"
Edgren may have something un-
der his hat. but he is dead wrong
when he denies that Jeff was not
awake a great portion of the night
preceding the battle. Mrs. Jeffries
herself ia authority for the state
ment that her burly husband paced
the floor until far past midnight and
that he stopped occasionally to emit
a groan.
Il don't believe Corbett knows
any more about Jeffries' collapse
than l do" said Sam Berger today
when informed Of Edgren's story.
"If Edgren's story is intended to
cast reflection on Corbett. then it
is entirely unjustified.
For the two nights preceding the
fight Corbett did not stay out at the
