FOOTBALL.

Football is gaining in favor. Per-
haps never before has the opening of
a season brought so many candidates
on the gri irons at the great univer-
sites. At Purdue University $50 men
are out for the regular team; at Ne
braska. so: at Kansas, 45; at Mis-
souri,, i5: at Ames. 40; at Iowa, 40:
at Northwestern, 80; at Illinois. A..
Everywhere the early prospects are
for excellent teams.
A few years ago the talk of abolish
ing football was strong. Columbia,
California and Leland Stanford uni
versities gave up the game. The last
two have resumed the game in mild
form and Columbia will soon again
play the regular game.
