JANUAIiY 20. IMHS.-PAGES NINE TO SIXTEEN. Harvard from Intercollegiate football, foreshad owed by the recent vote of the board of overseers comes under conditions which strain no friendship and threaten no rupture; so that it leaves us tree to deal with the real problem of football, unham pered by the tension of a same, which, while it arouses the treated athletic Interest of the year for that very reason stimulates thoso prejudices and Intensifies those feelings which make a solu tion difficult. Walter Camp followed President Hartley. Mr. Camp said that football was going to be "made over," as he- termed it, but whether it was going to take on entirely new principles, he could not tell. He declared that it wag impossible to make rules that would eliminate the mass play as well a? Impossible to devise rules that would eliminate the possibility of accident. '•Th? game Is necessarily rough." lie continued, "and there will always be more or less accident?. However. I think the danger is greatly overrated. All last year there were at Vale only twenty-four accidents, of which seventeen were nothing worse than sprained ankles. The worst was where a man had several of his ribs fractured, and there was only one case of that nature." Norrki O. Oeborn wae received with applause. He said that the Yale Idea should be placed to the front— an Idea which was essentially different from a Vale victory. It was, he said, an idea which meant that a college should stand for the training of a young man so that when he left college he should have an intellectual and moral equipment that would enable Mm to take the lead in all uaths of progress. Amr>s P. Wilder and Dr. Battershall also made brief speeches. The captains of Yale's various athletic clubs, who were all present, were intro ductd to the diners and were received with great enthusiasm. LEHIGII MEN DINE. New-York City Alumni Honor President Henri) S. Drinker. The Ijehigfa University Club of Greater New- York honored Dr. Henry B. Drinker.. the new president of the university last night by a dinner at the Tlotej Astor. Bishop Talbot and other trustees of \h* university and alumni were among the quests. When Dr. Drinker was introduced he was greeted with a cry tif welcome from th<* students. Besides Dr. Drinker, the speakers at the dinner were President A. C. Humphreys of Stevens In stitute, President J. Huston Finley of the College of the City of New-York, chancellor MacCmcken Of New-York University, Professor K. H. Williams. jr. William H. Maxwell. City Superintendent *>f Schools of Now- York: Bishop Talbot mid James Gayley. first vice-president of the United States Steel Corporation. ' Emil Diebitsch was toastmaster. Tetters of re gret were read from .T. Pierpont Morgan, Dr. Lay man Abbott and President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton University. Bishop Talbot. of Pennsylvania, who has been Identified In many ways with the university since be first wont to Pennsylvania eight years ago. was the first speaker. He said that he had known every president since the college came into ex istence. Tic said in part: I tell you this to show what a young col lege we are—y oung and vigorous as our new presi •lent Dr Drinker Our work is just beginning, our big work which we are tr> accomplish. X fpw months ae;i« when we first had to consider cutting a new president. Dr. Drinker and I, as trustee, searched far and wide for a successor to our late beloved and lamented president. We finally narrowed our search to two or t href emi nent men wh*n suddenly pome one FUgsrestort Dr. Drinker This came to m* an.l the other trustees almost as a shock. As a trustee we had come to be bo familiar with his brilliant and marvelous work his infinite capacity for detail. That we bad never thoueht of him in any other capacity. Jne moment the suggestion was mado there was one preat demand that h» be th* man— and better choice could not have been made. Dr Drinker has reached the heart of thf student body and wo have one now at the heart of our college who has a deep and abiding interest. Sucli h man is pure to Rend out good m«»n. Whatever be your personal religious convictions, you must all hf glad that Dr. Drinker Is not only a scholarly. intellectual guide, but a friend to all the young men and a brilliant moral example. DR. DRINKER SPEAKS In introducing Dr. Drinker, who followed the Bishop, th*» toastmaster, when the rhe»>ring had subsided, said it would bo useless to Introduce the next speaker as one who had always worked for T^high and had its interests in his heart above all elae, as h« would be. sure to be interrupted with cries of "Drinker. 71!" He was. He said, when he could be heard again, that Dr. Drinker had succeeded already in three professions— as a tunnel engineer and the author of an engineering classic, as a corporation lawyer, and now as a college president. After the Lehigh yell had died away Dr. Drinker spoke. Iff said, in part: Although discussions of our finances are forbidden at our alumni meetings. I would lik* to transgress the rule so far as to say that the results this year have been as good end perhaps a little better than last y f ar Lehigh is on th«» uptrack. and financially will soon be in smooth waters, I hope. Bishop TalliM has just said that 1 was a friend of the young. I am. 1 love th<rn. and I could find no belter young men in the world than thorp are at J.ehiph" When 1 first took office alir.opt the first thing I had to deal with was the chapel rush, h"rp the sophomores make the freshmen run the gantlet when they first go to chapel Not wishing to begin by having to discipline some student for an accident which might have occurred. 1 called the presidents of the threw upper classes and a=ked them to forego th*> frolic They unanimously agreed to do so. Then I got a memorial from the sophomores saying that they not only appreciated my views In the matter, but thoroughly agreed with them, ending with a request to be allowed to make the freshmen run the gauntlet at the gym nasium. I could not countenance this by giving my per mission, and I did not want to forbid the boys. for self-government has l>een our rule at I,ehlgh. I told the boys that 1 would leave It to them, and they voluntarily and unanimously dropped their fun. ATHLETICS AT L.EHIGH. Thl* leads In a way to our position In athletics at Lehigh. We received Chancellor MacCracken'a circular, hut replied that we would rather defer taking a definite stand until we saw what the olfl rules committee did. When the conference was ■ ■ailed by Chancellor BfacCracken we w»-re repre sented. To our minds nt T.ehlgh the question is now whether Lehigh shall remain a day college or be come a college in fact We have plenty of college spirit, hut we must pet the students together, con centrate th«*m on the college ground*. We should house the men on the campus. We must promote college spirit and morality. This is so compara tively smfill a matter, tills housing problem, that I am astonished that it has nol b«*en accomplished already. Th*-re is nothing the matter with our courses at Lehigb. No man leaves J^high or is dropped be cauM of failure to reach h certain marking. If a. man shows that ho has made progress, if he shows thai '•• 1M Interested and wishes to go on with his work, lie can Stay. He will not be dropped except when it is for his own good. The entrance system is our only trouble. The trouble, too. is much more the fault of the parents than Of the preparatory nchools. Parents *ak'- their pon^ to the schools and practically order the schools nol to make their sons fit to go through college, but merely lit them to enter. Chancellor MacCraeken was ita< next speaker. }{<•• was invited to talk on football, but confined moat of his remarks to high tribute to Dr. Drinker. I!*- said: Or Drinker is unique among college presidenta In that he if a lawyer.

The dinner was held In an upper dining room of the University Club and was attended by about two hundred Brown graduates. Norman S. Dike, former. Sheriff of King* County, presided, and among th« other speakers were the Rev. Dr. W. H. P. Faunce. president of the university, and Mar tin W. Littleton, ex-President of the Borough of Brooklyn. Others present were W. W. Hoppin, Congressman H. K. Porter. T>r. George L. Porter. Dr. W. W. Keene. Frank Mauran and Arthur How*, of Philadelphia; Oscar 8. Straus. Hermann C. Bumpup, Horace White, Hammond I>amont, S. H. Ordway. Gardner Colby, A. B. Meacham and Austen G. Fox. When President Faunc* was introduced as the first speaker, ho said that he intended to talk on three things— the university library, football and the moral duty of Brown men toward the world. He then announced, as told in another column, that Andrew Carnegia had given Brown $160,000 toward a library building. In regard to football Dr. Faunce said that he believed that the moral evils of the game were worse than the physical. Men were injured and sometimes killed in football, he said, but so were they in many other sports. The rules of football should be modified to prevent young men from breaking their bones or losing their lives, yet the game should not toe "devitalized" too much. It was necessary to have one rough game, The chief evil of sport, however, could not h« cor rected by a mere change in rules. Then he added with emphasis: What we should exert ourselves most to * ra r di £ a in football is professional. "We ail to» "£j college athletics are more or less honej combe a with the abuse of using money to get good play on th« teams. Money is paid the B^^.^ ,, 0 / preparatory schools to come to this or that uni versity. Rules were made which are not obser\ea. When Charles E. Hughes was introduced he was received with cheers. He said in part: T have come before you somewhat weary and worn, somewhat battered and torn, and am hard in condition to express my appreciation of our most cordial greeting. I have come to enjo> for the first time in many months a few moments or dI rhave- learned a great den! in the last few months by asking questions, and I ha }° £l*? learned certain things by not asking an>. I regret my inability to speak on the subject that *"1" 1 all know to be uppermost in my mind, in fact, soieij in mv mind. But th« work Is still unfinished and I will be unable to discuss It in any detail at this time. Speaking of college men in practical life. Mr. Hugnea gavo some consideration to the value of ideals. He said he had never been able to under stand how college men. after their four years of lif- in an atmosphere of culture and high ideals, could come out of college, as so many of them do. -and become the lickspittle of a political boss." Then he added: You may look into our insurance companies into our legislatures, and I am sorry to say that. jou will find college men trying to get their share of the -Kraft" with the rest of them. I thank God for the example of the men on th« faculty of Brown University.

Western Conference Favors Game's Continuance in 'Modified Form. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Chicago, .Tan. Alter twelve hours' delibera tion behind closed doors to-day, nine professor!". representing the colleges of the "Big Nine," failed to report a death sentence on football, as had been expected. In fact, the game won in the first day's scrimmage, and. unless the conference com mittee shows a better article of team work to-mor row, one will be able to recognize football next fall as something akin to the old game. The Wisconsin proposition to abandon the gam* for two years was advanced early thin morning and Immediately sent to cold storage. IJttle. more was accomplished In the day session than to hear the various suggestions read Rnd to classify them. In the evening session an attempt was made to give each of them some consideration. A A. Btagg. the ' 'hicago coach, did not attend the meeting of the committee, but sent to the meeting the suggestions for changes in the rules which lied been sent to him by various college athletic authorities. Dean Harry Pratt Judson. of the University of Chicago, offered two suggestions, one extending the freshman eligibility rule from half a year to a full collegiate year, and the other for the total abolishing of gale receipts. A sug gestion was also made to abolish professional coaches Illinois had a suggestion for considera tion which called for a regulated scale of yards to be pained In three downs by teams having dlf ferent average weights. It was the opinion of one member of the com mittee to-night that the meeting would adjourn after suggesting that the games be made more open, by requiring greater distance to be gamed it three downs and the line of defence weakened; hit two umpires be added: that a penalty of a.bso lute exclusion from football for any player sus pended for rough tactic? be imposed; that th" freshman eligibility rule be extended to a full year; that admission reea and the salaries of coaches be reduced: that graduate coaching be adopted, and that athletics be out on an endowed basis, tne same as other departments.
