Is the first season l have seen the
men play the game to any extent.
If It seems necessary to change the
rules sufficiently TO give the plays
through the line better chance, it is
to be hoped this will be done with exs
IRENE care, in order that former con-
ditlons may not be restored.
On the whole II seems much better
TO wait and see If a style of play can
not be worked out which, safeguard
ing the players as we'll as Is now
done, will at the same time appeal
more to spectators. 1t would be GER
tain to damage football seriously If a
backward step were taken and 1t
we're found that fatalities were as
frequent as they used to be. Admit
ting that the Nunting duels and the
difficulties presented to effective OF.
fensive play make the game tanner
than It was. it is far better to go
ahead and endeavor to evolve a sys-
TEN OF attack that will be spectacular
and at the same time less dangerous
than constant resort to mass play.

NO CHANGE IN THE RULES FOR
FOOTBALL. ~ 81,

u . . q q
Contrary to expectation. the annual
meeting Of the National College Ath
letic Association, held in New York,
passed off without a ripple of excite
ment over the football rules, assuring
that, IN so far as the Association has
10 do with the matter, college games
hext year will be played under the
same regulations that governed them
this year, or at least with immaterial
changes.
Sit is somewhat inconsistent that
the demand for change to make the
game which can only be
done, It seems, by making 1t more
dangerous-comes from the specta'
tors rather more emphatically than
from those more closely connected
with the sport. Public opposition to
the old style of play-which was &C.
companied by so many Injuries 10
participants-was responsible for the
present rules. In number of States
the game was prohibited altogether
and certain colleges eliminated it aft
er students had been hurt or killed.
Speaking OF the demand for a change
in the game, the president of the As
ISOLATION said:
The football rules committee is to
be heartily congratulated on two
things accomplished:
First-the new rules have lessened
the likelihood Of serious injuries, as
witnessed by the fact that there has
not been fatality on college grid
iron this fall
second-the modified game is such
that average men and boys can and
do play 1t with some pleasure. For
instance. at Fort Leavenworth there
were half dozen or more teams that
played series OF games this fall. In
the four years OF my duty there this

NEW PUBLICATION,
"BOXlNG," APPEARS

Another indication of the growing
popularity of boxing can be had from
the fact that the sport is rapidly ac-
quiring a literature Of its own. Nearly
every big newspaper nowadays cm-
ploys boxing critic. But space in the
newspapers is expensive, and it must
be distributed among the various lines
of sport; hence some euterprising in
diyiduals have got alive to the fact
that there is room for papers devoted
entirely to boxing.
Although France was the latest
country to take. up pugilism, it has a
very able and cnterprisiug weekly de,
voted entirely to tisticuffs. England
also has lively little weekly, with
boxing as the only topic The success
of these foreign publications has en-
couragcd the publication OF Boxing, au
