Washington. March H1.--Charles

Football Season
Should Be Long,
Saws Bill Roper

Princeton, n. j., March 27.-In-
dorsement of. the spirit Of editorial
writer's of the undergraduate daily
newspapers in Harvard, Yale
and Princeton, in connection with
their suggestions for re-vamping of
the present college football program,
was contained in a program issued
today by Bill Roper, Princeton's head
coach.
Roper, who came here for meet
ing with his 1922 football squad
candidates, said he thought that
many good points had been made by
the writers, but that some of their
suggestions could not be made ef-
fective.
"Thcir recommendation that there
shall be no football practice before
the formal opening of college in the
autumn is theoretically sound but
practically the reverse" he said
because of weather conditions in
| the cast, the playing time of football
| is confined to two months. Other
college sports have practically un-
limited opportunity for practice"
ITO expect football team to be
developed in six weeks without tre-
mcndous hazard to those playing Is
nothing short of an abSurdity. No
young man should be permitted to
play such n strenuous game without
ut least three weeks preliminary
| training. and even this is much less
| than that given candidates for the
! crews and the baseball teams"
Coach Roper said he had never
I been in favor of intersectional games.
'Trhcy cause a distraction and tur-
MOL in the whole college vastly out
! of proportion to their Importance,
! ne declared. The more we confino
all sorts of athletic competition to
logical and natural rivalries, elimi-
mating long. tiresome and unncccs-
| sary trips, the better it will be for
everybody
The suggestion of a joint COM
mittcc on eligibility. with all the
cards on the table, is an admirable
one. y

DEATH CIVIL WAR
VETERAN IN ARGENTINA A

Buenos Aires. March 27.-(By A. P)
Henry w. Rich, the oldest American
in Argentina and a veteran of the Civil
War, died here yesterday at the age of
ST. He was born in New York and
served in the United States navy
throu gkout the Civil War and until
1869, when he contracted yellow fever
aboard his ship while visiting RIO ia
nciro.
Recovering from this malady, Rich
came to Argentine in 1870 and became
a teacher of mathematics in an Amcri-
can school. He never received n pen
sion until after former President
Roosevelt came to Argentina and
heard his history. The former presi-
dent insisted that the American nation
owed a pension to him. especially in
view of his declining years. He took
up the matter at Washington and the
pension was granted.
Rich still carried a Civil War bull
let in his hip when he died.
