BY the Associated Press
PROVIDENCE. r. l.. January 20
The criticism of foot bali that de-
clares the game too interesting to
he tolerated" Is answered by presi
dent w. H. p. Faunce of Brown
University with the assertion that
America will never condemn any
kind of work or play because 1t Is of
absorbing interest"
When all studies shall make clear
appeal to the youthful love of ad-
venture and games shall be used not
for exploitation of a few students,
but for the training and development
of all, the present artificial antag-
onism of study and sport will quietly
fade away" says his annual report.
Tendency of alumni to make side
shows swallow up the circus" will
be restrained at Brown by an
athletic council, which will fix sched-
ules, engage coaches and control ex-
penditures.
