Columbia Misses Football.
The Columbia Spectator, the COL
lege organ, has made certain very
clstlnct changes against the present
dthletlc system in vogue at the UNI
versity. They find great fault with
what the students get out of the Ath-
letic Association, also that the meth

ing squad for Coach Rice to get re-
suits from, and. finally that there
is room for much more getting to-
gether. They confess at the outset
that without football the problem
is difficult one in any institution,
and, of course, realize that what
would help more than anything else
would be the revival of that sport
This is not entirely on the financial
side either, but on the side of COL
lege spirit. And they are right, for
| it should be remembered that there
| is the biggest university in the coun-
| try, in the point of numbers, with a
splendid location. and their position
in athletics should be high. The stu
dents have elected a committee for
the investigation, consisting of Neale,
the baseball pitcher; Rother, a former
crew man; Graham, the business
manager, and McCarty, the chair
man of The Spectator.
Washington and Jefferson made a
fine showing with their football team
last year and their tie with Yale will
bring another test this fall.
While Pittsburg is known as the
home of the steel industry as well as
sponsor for Washington and Jeffer-
son and the University of Pittsburg,
it is not generally known that we
have this same city to thank for the
Introduction of the present game of
football which attracts so many thou
sand players and spectators through
the fall season. Dave" Schaff, of
that city, was the man who first in
troduced really organized football at
Yale away back in the early sew
entities. True there are other points
at which the game was just begin
ming also-at Michigan, Princeton and
some other sections-but Schaff had
the advantage of having played foot
ball in England and he consequently
was able 80 land more definite ideas
which eventually developed into fruic,
the stimulus coming from Harvard,
whose teams had learned still more
of the English style of Rugby through
matches with Canadian teams.
Schaff was the forerunner of line

Baseball relations between the tvs

Yale has also added the Indiana
University team, Notre Dame, to her
list for next season. This is one OF
the best elevens in the country with
a record, not of last season only when
