In thirty-five- minutes of play yester-' day afternoon tho Sophomores defeat ed the Freshmen by a score of flvo to nothing. Tho first half was a stand off, neither side scoring. A very en thusiastic crowd saw the contest, and during the last fow minutes of play became quite demonstrativo. The Sophomores had an organized rooting squad with a leader, and did some very effective rooting. The field was a little too soft and slippery for fast playing, but other than that the conditions were good. The Freshmen kicked off at 2 o'clock and the Sophomores, by a series of tackle- bucks and mass on center plays, took tho ball down to tho thirty yard line whore they fumbled, tho Fresh men securing tho ball. After making two fair gains, tho Freshmen were forced to punt, but Porrln, the SophB' center, broke through and blocked Benedict's punt. Benodict fell on the ball, and the Freshmen failing to gain again, he punted to tho Sophomores lp tho middle of the field. After two good, gains -by tho Sophs they were forced to punt. Howard punted und tho ball went over tho Freshmen's goal line, where Rjjll downed it, mnk ing a touchback. The Freshmen then kicked out Trom tho twenty-five yard line, tho. ball being downed lxuUie cen ter of tho ilold After two smalligains by the Sophomores, time was cafted. for the half with no scoro on either t side. . There were no changes in tho line up at the beginning of the" second half.

Although tho sensational ac tion of Colurnblahas been repeated at no other institution, tho feeling that tho game must bo played under re vised rules or abandoned, entirely seems to prevail almost universally among Eastern universities, and tp some extent among those of tho West. The latest developments In tho situ ation are at West Point and Washing ton. In his letter to tho University of Now York accepting tho invltutlon Is sued by that school to a Joint confer ence -on football reform to bo 'hold In New York next week, Brigadier Gen eral Mills, commandant of West Point, says that while tho faculty of tho mili tary academy Is In favor of reform, It Is strongly oppbsed to nny attempt at abandoning -the game, At a mooting of the Athletic Association, when dole gates to tho conforenco wore appoint odjv the following resolutions woro drown up and adopted: "First That tho present game of football should not bo abollshdd, but should be reformed. "Second That, we bellovo that the game can be reformed "only by repre sentatives of colleges prominent In foqtball, annually electing, a responsi ble rules committee of nlno members, who shall formulate tho rules undor which tho game shall bo ployed. "Third Thnt tho HneB of reform should bo ns follows: "To malce tfio gamo less dangerous to the player and more Interesting to tho spectator, to" make changes whlclf will result In tho cortaln "detection of foul or brntaj playjj.vlth tho end that mass nlays.bo eliminated."

Whllo nothing was dis closed regarding tho details of tho con ference, it is stated that tho president is anxious that tho game of football should not ho abandoned, but that he strongly favors a modification of tho rules. Unless tho brutality and dan ger to tho lives of tho playors Is re duced materially ho realizes that tho gamo Is doomed.- It Is said that the president Is conferring personally and by letter with football authorities rola tlvo to tho actual facts of tho game and what, in their opinion, will bo the best reformative methods. The Three-Year Course. President Clark qf Clark University, In a rccont discussion on tho throo year collego course, now being dobated by Eastern educators, says: "J have" no patlcnco for any effort to oxcuso the fourth year at collego, which is dofended by collogo authori ties TTfT'tho best yeaY.of a student's collego life' a year whlch-Js known among students as tho ioallngyoar.' "Tho most, vital question Involved In a policy of tlmo shortening is not a quostion of materially reducing tho standard, but of producing an environ ment In 'which collego life shall bo shorn of tho hindrances that nillitnto now so offeciually. agalns't lutoflectual attainment. Such Internal conditions In cpllogo life have produced not mere ly U raco of students whose general quality of studentship has been di luted by an Infusion of Irrelevant In terests, but havo brod n race 'of peda gogical sophists, ready to defond a life of luxurating colloge influences, which has, of course, to bo mudo long to provldo against Its thinness.'1 Among tho "hindrances that militato now so effectually against Intellectual, attainment," By. Clark emphasizes Jn particular university athletics.
