The article reviews the arguments as pre- sented by the heads of the universities | and attributes the objections raised by many of the enemies of the sport mainly to ignorance of the game. It also agrees with many of the critics in censuring the game in the preparatory schools. The editorial in part follows: The main argument advanced by the ordl- 1 is that the game is brutal and o life. It has already been admit- ted that foot ball is not for weaklings. It bas | also d to be a child's game, and here is Nine-tenths injuries from football which are reported every vear in enlarged form the dally papers resuit to players of high athletic ciubs and small colleges of rank of a good high school. is here that persons physically unfit to y are allowed to take part in the game. There is no standard of training and in many cases there is not a spirit of fair play prevall- It is in these lower schools where the ormers can do their best work. In the igher colleges the injuries are comparatively i apd the lasting injuries are practically at feast on The pas only noticeable difference between the football man and the non-participant is | that the former is generally of superior physi- _|cal build, partly due to his participation In the game. That football of the right kind— | and ‘this means clean football—develops the character, has generally been accepted. The intercollegiate record of California and Stan- ford during the last few years shows small | orportunity for the desirability of a change in the rules. The conditions in the East, e the prevalling spirit is anything to win, by the athletic authorities versities. nse the sport of ite profes- and instill @ spjfit of fair play they complish 10 a large extent the abolish- real evil of the game to-day. Stan- alifornia, instead of being classed with the Bastern coileges in the way the game is played, stand out as a goal to be reached by the colleges, which is possible without a | change in the rules. The game, as played between the two big Institutions of the State, needs no chanze. | | | S SRS | COACH LANAGAN RETURNS. | i In His Opinion Stanford Eleven Gom- peres Well With Big Eastern Teams. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Det. b.— James F. Lanagan, head football and baseball coach at Stanford University, returned to-day from an extended trip | throughout the Eastern States, where |he went to witness the closing big games of the football season and inci- dentally absorb Eastern ideas on the game of football. Mr. Lanagan says that in his opinion Chicago had the fastest football eleven |in the East and outclassed Michigan In every branch of the game.

The most exciting finish at Oakland track yesterday was reserved for the con- cluding mile purse run, when Celeres, ridden by Radtke, witn the colors up of Edwin Gaylord, the Denver turfman, de- feated Dr. Rowell's Corn Blossom, the fa- vorite, by a neck, the distance being covered in 1:40. Last spring Celeres gave every promise ot developing into a sptendid three-year- old, but went amiss, and up to yesterday's race had failed to show his true form. Perhaps the riding of Radtke had much to do with the improvement displayed by the Maxio colt. Of this there can be no doubt, for a stronger finisher than Loague, astride Corn Blossom, would un- questionably have reversed the positions of the two horses at the finish. Radtke took Celeres out in the lead at the start and, once in front, Radtke is a ‘slippery young man to overhaul. JOCKEY RATDKE IS CLEVER. He unwinds kis little ball of yarn with skill and care, and when it appears as if his mount would take the count the Keene lightweight usually has a knock- out left. Loague rode a good race on Corn Blossom, but is still a trifle weak et finishing. The winner was well backed at 13 to 5. Corn Blossom cut off Selable on the far turn, after which the latter fell out of the running. Barney Schrei- ber's Buchanan ran third. All trace of mud had disappeared and the track presented a superb appearance. A large crowd fllled the betting ring, and as but two choices won, the layers could not complain of hard times. Rosaro, & 16 to 1 shot, owned by Bflly Engstrom, the bookmaker, took the in- troductory two-year-old scramble in a driving finish from Queen Rec. The lat- ter filly closed equal favorite in the bet- ting with Bertola, the Schreiber entry. The show went to Lovey Mary. Clark and Bertola were prominent for a short while. SUCCEED IS FAVORITE. Anything ridden by Radtke the book- makers handle with care these days, for which reason Succeed closed a 7 to § chance for the second two-year-old num- ber. The filly won cleverly from Jillette, after trying to run out on the stretch turn. J K F, a 30 to 1 shot, ran third. Jake Ward, a St. Louis product, played down from 7 to 18 to 5, proved to be the mellow one in the five and a half fur- long selling affair. Patsy Phillips got him away sailing, and at the wire he downed Sir Christopher, a 60 to 1 shot, quite handily. Frank Neil's Distributor ran into the show. General Roberts, the | compared favorably with the big elev- ens of the East in so far as speed of play and effectiveness nof formations were concerned. 2 Regarding the present day agitation to modify or abolish the existing style {of play, Lanagan says that both Princeton and Yale officlals are em- | phatic in their opposition to any change and that Coach Yost of Michigan told he considered it within the prov- of university faculties, and not coaches nor players, to advocate any changes in the rules. ——— DISTANCE CYCLERS ARE FAR BEHIND RECORD | LONG NEW YORK, Dec. 6—The tie of the twelve teams which still remain in the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden was broken shortly after mid- night, when the Bedell brothers, riding as the Long Island team, began a spurt which finally landed them one lap in front of their nearest competitors. At 1 a. m. the Bedells, with 837 miles 8 laps, were two laps ahead. At 8 o'clock to-night the men wers 121 miles behind the record for the forty- four hours of a six-day contest, which is 889 miles, made by Elkes and McFarland in 1900. A feature was the continuous riding of Arthur McDonald of the Galvin and Mec- Donald combination for nearly nine hours. Some of the watchers at the trackside de- clared McDonald was almost twelve hours on his wheel. This the manage- ment denied, saying such a continuous stay upon the track would be contrary to the rules. The riders of the other teams reheved each other regularly, but Galvin had been ailing and McDonald pluckily maintained the team’s position for first honors. Dussof, of the French-Swiss team fell early to-day and was said to have frac- tured a rib. He was on the track again to-night, however, and his manager de- clared the injury would not prevent his remaining in the race to the end. . YOUNG CORBETT COMING WEST. Expects Matches With Herrera, Han- jon and Other Lightwelghts. NEW YQRK, Dec. 5—Young Corbett left for San Francisco this afternoon. He will probably stop off at Chicago for & few days to visit friends and will then continue his journey to the coast, where he expects to engage in several fignts Corbett is determined to get back into his old-time form, and has planned a | programme that will keep him busy for a few months. His first opponent will be Herrera, the Mexican fighter, whom he expects to meet in a twenty round bout. Eddie Hanlon will probably be next on his list. Corbett has several other matches in view, but just what they are he will not know until he reaches the coast and has a conference with the matchmakers. p { ! I —— O P s — Professional Golfers in Session. NEW YORK, Dec. 5.—The executive commitice of the Eastern Professional ! Golfers’ Association met yesterday and drafted a constitution and by-laws, the latter to be presented for adoption at { & general meeting of the association to | be held on December 1%, Article 5 of | | the constitution provides for an ad-! { visory board of amateur golfers, to be | j elected at the annual meeting of the association, and this board shall have the right to offer advice as to the affairs of the assoclation. Advisory members will have no voting power id will be exempt from payment of dues. | The annual meeting of the associa- [ tion will be held the first Monday in - June. The objects of the association-| ‘are to foster the game of golf, to ele- | vate the professional standard and to provide a means of disciplining such of its members who might be guilty of conduct harmful to the professional golfers as & body, i3 favorite, cracked no ice whatever. Played down to 4 to § In the betting on the mile and & sixteenth selling event, Possart, the black horse, again ran up against a stone wall. Christine A, whose odde dropped from 6 to 4, made all the pace, beating the favorite at leisure in 1:47%. Fastoso, from the Baldwin sta- ble and 60 to 1, ran a close third. By an exceedingly narrow margin only did Titus IT beat Pickaway for the second five and a half furlong spin.\ The former sprinter had a slight call in the ring, and with Lloyd Fountain up, just nosed Pickaway out, after the pair had see- sawed almost from the start. Loague landed the small end of the purse with Sterling Towers. NOTES OF THE TRACK. Radtke piloted two winners. Frank Prior, a capable rider, broke the ice when he placed Rosaro over the plate first. Dr. Rowell's apprentice Sandy for- tunately escaved with a slight bruise or two when Lord Nelson was thrown. The two-year-old was caught in a jam soon after ine start and Sandy was tossed over the fence, landing on the inside track. Jake Ward is the first horse from the stable of Lee & Son to win a purse. The doings on the St. Louis sprinter were large and successful. Jack Case, owner of Possart, hiked the selling price of Christine A from $400 to $800 after the mare had beaten the black horse. T. A. Davies re- tained Christine A, and retaliated by claiming Possart for $725. Jimmy Scanlan, press agent for the association across tae bay, is laid up in the Pacific Hospital at Los Angeles with a threatened attack of pneumonia. His friends are hoping it will not be serious. Harry Mack recently purchased St. Flour from Jack Keene. Keene cut down his big string still further yesterday by disposing of Bird of Passage, Joe Ross and Louis Schumacher te the Del Monte Stable. George Wentworth has Shell Mount in training again. ————— HAGGIN THOROUGHBREDS ‘ Four Sprinters Fight Tt The Call’s Racing Form Chart| g phees, "6 o, OAKLAND, Tuesday, Dec. 5.—~Weather fine; track fast.

SMYTH COURSIN WEN ARE RESIGNED Union Park Officials Will Not Contest the Action of San Mateo Supervisors ENLARGED STAKES HERE Ingleside Management Will Endeavor to Absorb All Greyhounds in Training The officlals of Union Coursing Park decided at a meeting yesterday not to attempt to promote coursing in the of the recent ordinance passed by" San Mateo County Supervisors prohi! ing the sport. They were informed by their legal ad- viser that the ordinance was unconstitu- tional and that they could secure an in- Junction and continue to run pending its final decision in the courts. It was de- cided this would be unsatisfactory, as the owners of greyhounds and intendins spectators would always be in doubt as to the prevalling conditions. That the park officlals anticipats a change of heart on the part of the Supe: visors within the next few months is indi- cated by the fact that Harry Edell, the secretary, has been instructed to maintaix the park office in the Flood bulld: this city. James Dennis, superintendeni of the park, has also been instructed te keep the .—ru.nd.nmd the kennels and the grounds in good order. With coursing shut down in San Mateo County the followers of the game across the line will turn to Ingleside Park. Man- ager O'Shea sald recently that If th patronage warranted he would promots coursing three days in the week—on ‘Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. This will tend to keep up the majority of the greyhounds in training. It would also ralse the class of the Sunday stakes, as the other events would absorb the slower dogs. _——————— SAN FRANCISCO WOMEN PLAY IN A TEAM MATCH Home Golfers Gain Lead In First Half of Home-and-Home Contest at Ingleside.
