HAS FOOTBALL REFORM FAILED

OOTPALLi has been having a hot
light with politics for the prize
of public popularity and atten
tion but now that the gridiron
game has swung to Us greatest height
admirers of It feel that they have Dual
ly succeeded lu gaining the suprem
acy
Particular interest attaches to the
present football season owing to the
new rules governing the game which
are now for the first time thoroughly
nw
THE TANDEM TIiAY
understood throughout the entire coun
try and have for the first time been
put in universal use in an intelligent
manner The previous play under the
new regulations designed to do away
with the deadly nature of the game in
the past proved more experimental
than otherwise and resultautly this
year the public and the critics can au
thoritatively consider whether or not
the new rules have effected their in
tended purpose In other words is re
formed football a failure or a success
The reform movement was based en
tirely on the demand from thousands
of people prominent and otherwise
that the number of dangerous acci
dents must be decreased and the foot
ball dictators produced what they
proudly term an open game a stylo
qf game intended to do away with the
crushing mass plays of a few years
ago But the so called open game is
open in name only in a great many
vital respects The rules do not do
away with mass plays at all lu actual
practice they merely limit the manner
of their formation and cause more
time to be consumed in their forma
tionthat is tho rules put certain
technical difficulties in the way of
forming mass plays and coaches and
captains have found ways of circum
venting these obstructions in material
details
A large number of injuries have oc
curred this year not solely among care
less and untrained young players as
the football rulers would have the pub-
EDDIE COT
lie believe but among the strongest
aud best trained men on the gridiron
Furthermore many of the accidents
have resulted in mere practice games
where the playing is not so continu
ously violent as in actual contests and
where the players make a special point
of avoiding injury
In three days of practice play by the
Yale varsity team at Xew Haven
no less than four men were so badly
hurt as to ueee itare treatment at the
hospital Captain Durch had to retire
from the game for most of the season
Field and Beinecko received dangerous
wounds on their heads and 3Iersereau
sprained his ankle siid tore ligaments
loose from the bone The second day
after Annapolis played Harvard only
two members of the regular Annapolis
team were able to report on the field
for practice Just what benefit these
injuries to eight or nine men will give
to Uncle Sams naval cadets in their
preparatory work to become officers in
the navy it fc difficult to imagine
Slingluff center aud Eighton right
tackle were the only two of the fu
ture admirals able to respond Many
other instances of a similar uature
could be ciled
Probably the mes5 striking lllustrr
tion of the workings of the so called
open game is alforded by the much
talked of contest recently played at
Schenectady X Y between the well
trained teams of Union college and
Wesleyan university A dispatch sent
out by the Associated Press said Sev
enteen players were rendered uncon
scious during the game and five of
them were so seriously hurt that they
were removed to the hospital Most
of the seventeen had to stop playing
Tho officials united In saying the
game was the roughest and most hard
fought they had over witnessed Tot
ter sustained a broken collar bone and
Hammond a slight concussion of the
brain
The game had to be stopped time
and again when the players were in
jured or knocked senseless After
nearly every scrimmage some one was
found to have been hurt so seriously
that he could not arise from the
ground
The whole trouble in the failure to
get real reform in football lies in the
desire of many colleges to secure ad
vertisement and students through the
popularity of football and the game
will be highly popular among the
youth of the nation say manj only so
long as the dangerous elements are re
tained Therefore the rule makers try
to please the spirited daring combat
loving American youth and at the
same time convince the public that
football has become a milk and

KICKESO GO All
ter pastime safe enough for anybody
to play nowever this much must be
said for the reformers By introduc
ing the forward pass the onside
kick and requiring teams to gain
more distance than formerly in scrim
mages in order to retain possession of
the ball they have contributed to the
spectacular value of the game
But not even the football rule mak
ers can wipe out the bone breaking
features of the game by substituting
one kind of danger for another

Cause For Gratitude
One third of our counti s nro without
prisoners in their jails or paupers in
their poorhouses one half of our coun
ties contributed no convicts to our pri
son population tho last year and one
half of our prison inumtoH never lived
in Kansas loig enough to gain a resi
dence horo Onr educational institu
tions wero never ho flourishing Our
churches novor so strong and tho spirit
ual outlook more hopeful Tho saloon
has boon practically baniHhod from our
state and its baneful influence almost
entirely eliminated From tho Thanks
giving proclamation of Governor Hoch
of Kansas
Tho ontertainment given by tho W
T C U Nov 21th was more of a suc
cess financially than was expected for
which wo aro thankful Wo aro sorry
that through some mismanagement
thero wore somo persons who failed to
receivo any refreshments but judging
from tho amount of sandwiches and
cako found on the floor in the neighbor
hood of where soino young men sat tho
causo was not lack of eatables but waste
Whenever a city through tho licenso
system puts every man woman and
child in tho city in direct partnership
with the saloon element whenever you
so establish tho saloon system that every
man woman and child in jour city re
ceives directly his proportion of tho
profit you aro establishing a system in
herently and eternally wrong You aro
trying to palliato tho evil You aro try
ing to greaso your conscience so to
speak Men everywhere aro doing it
Tho peoplo of this great Republic of
ours through their Federal government
have established what they call the
license system and our states have fol
lowed tho example and our counties
have followed it and our cities have
followed it It is the old old effort to
take money from an evil and transform
by that means an evil into a thing of
good The peoplo of this Republic are
selling indulgences to sin just as they
were sold back in tho black dajs of the
past Your liconso system is inhorently
wrong though you receivo millions in
revenue from the liquor trnflic though
every city is made rich by the money
that comes from it it can never change
an evil into a thing of right
