PRESIDENT DISCUSSES
FOOTBALL ONCE MORE
"Billy" Reid and Herbert
White of Harvard At
tend a Conference. -
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.— Among Presi
dent Roosevelt's guests at luncheon to
day, were Dr.- William T. Reid Jr., head
coach of the : Harvard football • squad,
and' Herbert White, connected with . the
Athletic 'Association of the same institu
tion. ; "
At the beginning of the football season,
whlch'came to a close last Saturday, the
President had a - conference with Dr.
Reid, Walter Camp and several other au
thorities v on the game, with a view . to
such v modification* of the rules .as would
eliminate \u25a0 its brutal" features and prevent
slugging ; so far ' as possible .And at the
same * time ; bring about more open play.
It was too late at that time to make any
changes in the \u25a0 rules for the present sea
son,'but the coaches , promised to use
their : influence to -prevent unnecessary
brutality by -teams with which they were
connected and to consider, in the light of
developments, changes "in the rules of the
game. - : ..
> The conference to-day, which was com
paratively brief, enabled the President to
get the benefit of the observations of Dr.
Reid and White 'during the season, just
closed. While . nothing was disclosed .re
garding the details or the conference.; It
is stated that no conclusions of a definite
character were reached. The President
is anxious that, the game of football as a
college sport: should- not; be abandoned,
but '", he : strongly favors ; a ' modification of
the ' rules ; along . the lines ; indicated. Un
less i brutality^ and danger ' to ; the : lives of
the players Is reduced materially, ha real
ires j that ; the] sport ! Is practically doomed.
The ; President Is conferring: personally
and \u25a0> by.', letter . with > football authorities,
but is not yet able to announce ; the . re
sult of the consideration he has given.the"
matter. V'

the Professors' Meeting
BERKELEY/. Dec. 4-— Football as
played by the students of the University
of California must be radically changed
or abolished as a college game. This la
the dictum of the academic council of"!
the university as the result. of a meet
lngr held last Wednesday night, the coun
cil's action having Just been mado public
by the university authorities.
A conference is to be held by the ath
letic committee of the faculty with a
similar faculty committee from Stanford
<at which the changes necessary to t»
made In the style of play will be thor
oughly discussed. If this joint commit-
I *cc can agree upon a satisfactory revision
of the same of a character satisfactory
to the controlling powers of the Stat«
University."" the -game will continue. It
no such agreement is reached, and It
appears that the revision of rules de
sired cannot be made, an edict will issue
sounding- the death knell of football as
a sport recognized by the State Univar
sity. 3BMM
The academic council believes the Pa
clflc Coast colleges are competent to pre
pare and enforce their own football rule*
independent of any action that may b«
taken by the football powers in the East.
It is believed that if California and Stan
ford unite in adopting rules the minor
institutions of learning of the coast
where football is played will fall Into
line and regulate their contests in ac- '
cordance with the bigger institutions'
policy. '
President "Wheeler said to-day he had
not intended the action taken by th»
academic council should be generally
known at this time, but as reports had
been circulated more or less authentic
he dictated the following statement re- <.
garding the matter:
The academic council at a meeting last 7
"Wednesday called upon the athletic committee
of the faculty to make a full report of the
present status of the game, vrith recommenda
tions concerning the future attlude of the.
university with regard to it. Since that meet-
Ing President Jordan and myself have agreed
to a conference between the athletic commit
tees of the two universities. looking towan* a
later conference with experts and authorities
regarding the game. . We shall be prepared to
have this later meeting take up the work, if
found necessary, of reorganising the rules so as
to construct a game for our own use. « \u25a0
Football on the Pacific Coast has freed itseir
already of many of the evils which have at
tended it In other localities, notably In the
Middle "West. In some respects we have never
known these evils. sucW as extreme specializa
tion'and professionalism.:. We have some rea
son, looking at It from this point of view, for
moving ahead and providing a game for our
selves. It , may be found difficult or .impos
sible -to agree on a standard of game to ba
played. In that case there will be but one sim
ple and direct procedure and that is to. strike

MOULTON" IS FOR FOOTBALL.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Dec. 4. —
Trainer Dad Moult on of Stanford Uni
versity to-day stated the assertions at
tributed to him In regard to the elimi
nating of football were misconstrued.
He does not believe the great game is
to be completely done . away with.
Rather, .it Is his opinion the sport will
lons continue to be the most popular
of Intercollegiate athletics, but that the
rules will and must be modified.
In answering the objection raised by
some of the enemies of the game that
the number of men engaged in the
sport was not. representative of tha col
lege, , and that many were debarred
from participation in university ath
letics because of this fact. Moultqn j
states this is not the case. At . leasts
100 men. the heaviest and most husky
in the university, will be allowed to en
gage. This leaves many other athletic
branches open for the remaining stu
dents. Baseball, rowing. . track, tennis
and basketball* are in his estimation
ample field for recreation among all
collegians.
If the rules are to he modified the
veteran trainer Is at a loss to say what
would be inserted and "what eliminated
from, the present code. Open play has,
as ;he is , ready - to prove- by statistics,
caused more 'serious injuries than the
popular mass playing. As all . suggest
ed * modifications point to a change in
this direction some other point must bo
attacked.
"Prep school football must he cut
out.".; declares : Moulton. "The young
sters are .sufficiently matured to
stand, the* hard knocks and severe
training.- "It is largely the Injuries
of these high school lads that have
caused the comment and discouraxe
ment of the sport by university presi
dents." .- WKse
