Tn REGARD to collegiate football for tho
L fall campaign. we are possessed of an
idea which at least seems TO carry n fair
amount Of reason The idea is this Since
most Of the regulars upon varsity clevens
have left college, why not build up teams
to consist entirely of men who have never
made the first eleven?
This arrangement would serve two useful
purposes. It would. first. yield fine ath-
lctic opening for those who have remained
upon the side lines or have adorned the
scrubs In the second place, it would even
up matters and prevent any one college
from having a big advantage by returning
seasoned material to play against some
rival whose regulars had gone to war
Under this system freshmen would, of
course, be eligible What few first team
regulars were returned could act as assist
ant CoaChcrs All teams would start from
tho same Spot-thcre would be fine develop
mcnt of new talent. and those who need eX-
CCse most would get their opportunity with
out having to compete in vain against sea-
suucd material. This would solve the prob
lem which seems to nave upset Yale. 1lar-
ward ana Princeton. The game would then
he carried on by those who need the work
and the recreation ana the inspiration of
their colleges There could be
no collision with military duty, as most of
these would be the younger men not yet
ready to enlist.
If colleges are to b. opened and students
are to come, football will be needed. Foot
ball has sent more wcl-traned men to the
army and navy than any other sport There
can be no manner Of successful football
training without competition.
The Government wants football to go on.
The system suggested above should solve
