konetchy's Major Career Ends

Philadelphia. Jan. 1S-Big Ed.
konetchy has been sent adrift by the
Phillies. The veteran of Is years in
the National League will be sent to
the minors as soon as the club can
place him.
Big Ed. came to Philadelphia from
Brooklyn last year. carrying a good
sized contract, and as the Phillies
had no desire to meet these figures
this year they have decided to let the
vteran slide out of the big show.
Managr Wilhelm is going to take a
chance on Leslie, a first baseman,
bought from the New Orleans club,
and if he is fiivver. Cliff Lee, all
round man, will be given a chance to
make good at first base. The Phillies
go to Leesburg, Fla, the last week
in February.

RAPS FOOTBALL
(continued from Pace One)

ell. land Is not based upon any.
principle recognized as imperative
by faculties. alumni and spectators.
The public interest in the sport, as
a spectacle, should become general
over the country. and has increased
markedly since the war. It has tend
ed to give excessive importance to
college athletic contests.
THAT intercollegiate matches have
a distinct value in stimulating
sports. which are the best form of
physical exercise in youth, few peo-
pie would be inclined to deny: but
the single boat race between Oxford
and Cambridge on the Thames, the
cricket match between those uni
versities, supplemented In each case
by a series of intramural contests,
has been enough to stimulate I'M
tagging interest in those sports
among students. Judging from the
effect of the race at New London
one may ask whether or not the same
plan would be sufficient in football.
The necessity of maintaining for this
purpose a public spectacle attended
by thousands of spectators every
Saturday throughout the autumn is
certainly not clear: and whether it
ought to be maintained for any other
object is a mater worth considera-
ton.
Although the severity Of the in
juries suffered, and especially the
danger to life, however materially
diminished by the changes in the rules
made a dozen years ago, football re-
mains a rough and strenuous sport in
which injuries are often received that
impair the efficiency Of the players
for a couple of weeks or more.
TN order, therefore, to keep them
in good condition for the two priMci
pal games with Princeton and Vale
at the close of the season it has been
the habit to keep out of the games
with other colleges some, or in many
cases all of the members of the first
eleven. playing in fact second team,
This has been q source of complaint
To arrange match with another
college and then not put on the field
our regular team, but an eleven COM
posed of substitutes, has been criti-
cized as unsportsmanly; and yet
what else can be done for to play in
these games is almost certain to
cripple some members OF our team
before it has reached it's maturity of
training?
Criticism has been directed also
to our refusal to play games off our
own field except with Princeton and
Yale. Such a policy has been alleged
to be exclusive if not arrogant.
Baseball? Same feeling is the de-
mand that Harvard ought to play
with more teams from other parts
Of the country.
IF, like the professional baseball
leagues, the objects of the college
football teams is to carry on a con-
test for national championship it is
not quite clear how these demands
can be proved unreasonable. But the
faculty. assuming that education is
the prime object of the college is of
opinion that the members of the
team, their substitutes, managers.
etc. cannot be absent from Cam
bridge more than they are now with
out detriment to their studies.''

Bowlby of East Orange, N: j., OF
the permanent committee on Sabbath
observance. Bowlby is secretary OF
the committee and also, head OF the
Lords Day Alliance.
The Saturday half-holiday was en-
dorsed and protest against CONNER
cialized Sunday uttered, in the reso-
luton.
DR.. Bowlby's committee urged the
10000 Presbyterian churches Of
America to continue the fight to
"Save Our Sabbath" Enemies of
the Sabbath were reported routed in
the defeat Of attempted legislation in
New York, New Jersey, New Eng
land, Maryland and Virginia, but the
Presbyterian Church was warned
that next year the friends of the
Christian Sabbath will have to COM
bat trap &C ious commercialism"
which seeks to destroy the Sabbath
in AZ states where the legislatures
will be in session.
