The most conspicuous charge at present football is intolerably rough.

FEW HURT IN COLLEGE GAME. When record is analyzed, it is found one of the victims was a girl, and almost ery ome of the others ‘a member of a prep- qui aratory school or a scrub eleven. Strictly college football has claimed a very smail number of victims the country over. When the record of the last ten years of football on the Pacific Coast is examined, it is at once epparent that the serious {njuries received by players have been very few. Recent games have been almost without accident, though played with great spirit and determination. There s no doubt that football is rough. The facts seem to Indicate further that It is in- tolerably rough for untrained men and un- seasoned preparatory school boys and giris. They do not, however, warrant ite withdrawal, on the same sru\'u.!, from its place as a (‘OIIEFQ contest. Proposals have been made to mitigate the roughness, which must be a necessary part of the contest, by so modifying the rules as to compel a_more open style of attack and de- fense. Whatever the advantages, especially to the epectator, of open play, the testimony not only of the recent history of football but of football men themselves demonstrates that a Jarge proportion of the injuries result from open P . A tackle in an open fleld most football men desire to avoid Danger lurks wherever the ball is carrfed, Until that feature of (he game be eliminated (and with such elimination American college footbail would cease to exist) the contests will not cease to require men who are well trained, skijlful, courageous and indif- { ferent to hard knocks. In on: particular, however, the severity of the clote formation may be lessened. It is possible under the existing rules to form heayi- Iy behind the line for a momentum play di- rected hard at a smaller number of men in the | opposing team, This play nas in it the germ of unfairness, because one man is literally pit- ted against several who have the further ad- vantage of knowing where the attack is to be made, If the same man be attacked Iy it is only & question of time until the defend- ;‘ ing player is rendered physically Incapable | through exi on. | So far, the physical, t_of roughness in | contest has been dis The moral aspect, involving the pirit of true sportsmanehip, s of far greater importance. Slugging, kneeing, neck-twisting, putting a goed mah out of the contest by vicious attacks even when such at- tacks contribute nothing to the success of the play then in progress, are practicés which can. not be too severely condemned and nished. Rules which are properly framed should be en- forced with the utmost vigilance, accuracy and | dispatch; and additional ties beyond what | are now provided should be imposed. Such pen- |‘aities may be not only removal from the con- | fest, but disqualification for the season, or per. manently.

Good college sportsmen are bound to be better sportsmen in business life than men who are only in- terested in resulte. Your committee does not belleve in the em- ployment of forelgn coaches. First—Because they work dlstinetly as pro- fessionals and cannct have the general wel- fare of the student body or of the university at_heart. Second—They are chiefly concerned with the result of the contest and are considered large- ly responsible for it. It s their victory or ll}n«ll" defeat quite as much as that of the col- Third—The college occuples the position of! hiring an outsider to win the game, a thing which {s distinctly unamateur. RULES COMMITTEE ATTACKED. The present agitation against football we believe to be due to the following: First—The fact that under present condl- tions there ig government without representa- ton. That is repugnant to the American mind. A practically selt-constituted and seir-perpet- uating committee of meven (i) assumes to con- trol these contests all over the country. Some of the members of this committee are dis- tinctly professionals, Second—There is the feeling that the large gato receipts ofter an opportunity for the un- lair manager to use untair means in getting coaches and men who will themselves be unfair in order to bring the victory that they have been paid to help get. It would appear from some "of the recent articies in the public prints that this feeling is not altogether with- out foundation. However, no such charge s made egainst California and we know that no_such charge- could tfuthfuily be made, Third—It has been sald that the contest, as fl"‘ p.rzemm.uxnm m.bec!en %pporhmmxy ugging t cannot seen by the of- mu . Cértainly ne such opportunity has Imé‘n taken advantage of by 'any California con- w00 ready to charge been done was done. Fourth—The contests are sald to be brutal. They are rough, and sometimes accidents oc- cur. but we submit that we have not in years seen any brutality on a football field. Brutal- ity lies in the inient to do harm. Such intent does not exist in California contests. Fifth—There s personal danger to those par- ticlpating in the contests. But, no danger, no courage. It is sald, and we believe it, that no one has ever been killed or been seriousiy injured in_any of the ‘“‘big games’ of the country. The dangers of football are not so great 2s the dangers of mountain climbing. For example, in Switzerland the deaths from mountain climbing are from 3500 to 400 per year. Nor are the dangers of football so great as the dangers of yachting, of swim- ming, of automobiling, or of roller skating. The greatest likelihood ‘of physical harm comes to boys of high school age. They have grown | beyond their strength. They are apt to less carefully trained, If tralned at all, they are inclined to be reckless. Sixth—The preparation for the contests ab- sorbs too much of the time and the energy of the participants and of the Interested non- participants during the eight or ten weeks which precede the “big game.” The commit- tee feels that too much timd is devoted to th: preparation of a team. But thére s something of value in it as a lesson in special preparation looking toward the attainment of a definite result. We belleve that football tends to di- minish loafing and loaferishness. Its Influence is decigedly agaiust any and all forms of dis- sipation and what is sometimes called ‘‘rough- housing.” NO SUBSTITUTE FOR BIG GAME. Your committee believes in football. There are always two sides to a question, else there would be no question. Some ch spectacular contest_seems useful in such s community as ours. No satisfactory substitute has been pro- posed. We belleve that modifications can be made that shall diminish the evils without de- stroying the virility of contest In favor of which very much can be sald. We are of the opinion that rules governing the spectacle may be so framed as to do away with the prepon- derance of mass play; to diminish the ten- dency to fake injury when rest and comfort is what is wanted; to diminish the opportunity for unfairness; to present a spectacle that shail’ not be tiresome, and to have simpler and bet- ter codified rules. We believe in a representa- tive -government, and in having alert and un- biased officials. And we believe in the en- couragement of games which are not so stren- uous and not so dangerous, Some of the modifications that we would suggest as looking toward the desired end, if mere modifications are to be made, would be: Require that at least seven men of the offen- sive side sball be on the line of serimmage, Diminish the time of each half to thirty min- utes. Establish fifteen minutes as the maxi- mum aggregate time to be taken out for the benefit of either team. Return to the old bar cleats on the shoes.

WOMEN GOLFERS OF STATE SELECT INGLESIDE LINKS First Tournament of California Asso- clation Wil Be Held Over Con:v of San Francisco Club. Although the votes of all the mem- bers of the executive committee of the California Women Golfers’ Assoclation have not yet been received enough are on hand to decide that the first annual tournament will be held on the links of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club at Ingleside. The directors of the Claremont Country Club werc desirous of having the tournament held on the Claremont course. While it was evident that the Claremont Country Club, with its well equipped clubhouse and excellent culi- nary arrangements, would be well adapted to the purposes of the golfers, it was felt absolutely necessary that a tournament in which forty to fifty players will be engaged should be held on a full eightéen-hole course. The second nine holes of the Claremont course have been laid out, but the sec- retary of the California Women Golf- ers’ Association and the ladies' captain of the San Francisco Golf and Country Club, after playing over the course, came to the conclusion that it is not in proper conditlon for a championship tournament. The Ingleside course is a full eigh- teen-hole one and is improving rapid- ly in condition. The rain has caused the grass to sprout and in another month the links will be covered with a green carpet. - Though the internal arrangements of the Ingleside olub- house are not yet in so good working order as those of the Claremont Coun- try Club, the club will be able to fur- nish bedrooms to those who may desire to make the clubhouse their headquar- ters, and to supply luncheon to the contestants dally. The tournament begins on January 22 and ends on the 27th. Circulars giving the detafls of the competitions ate nearly ready to be issued, having been delayed only by the uncertainty as to the course on whieh the tourna- ment would be held. —— Bunko Men Arrested. Three bunko men were arrested by Detectives Bunner and Freel yesterday afternoon. They have been hang- ing around the leading hotels and getting vietims, so the police say. They were pointed out by R. C. Trask, a com- mercial traveler, who said they had fleeced him out of $190 in July, 1902. Trask wanted to swear to a warrant against them, 'but District Attorney : Byington told him that the offense was outlawed. Their names are William A. Davis, Carl 8. Price and Willlam L. Barnett. They are known as “poke sharks.” R —_———— ING muu‘rcr. LATE Sl ARRIVED. N "Tei Vi . uxnmr vie Viken, Gulliksen, 98 hours Moinnich, 116 days trom | 11 OOTBALL At i i EDITED BY R. A.SMYTH PINKERTON DEFEATS NEDA LEE FOR THE OCTAGON HANDICAP. Sensational Filly Is Heavily Backed by Talent. Entre Nous Loses to Escamado in Hard Drive. g BY FRED E. MULHOLLAND. Just when ft looked possible that she might go down the line and become queen i of the far western turf, Neva Lee was j brought up with a round turn in the Ogflgon handicap yesterday at Ingle- side, The crack three-year-old daughter of El Rio Rey was asked to concede Pin- kerton eleven pounds. Barney Schrieber” black colt, with Radtke up, led through- out, and beat the filly two lengths over the Futurity course. The race was not a true run one by any means, the ragged start cutting a big flgure in the resuit. The betting favored Neva Lee to a pro- nounced extent, and there was a great deal of grumbling over the send off she recetved, and not without reason. ASSISTANT STARTER AT FAULT. In an attempt to let the favorite break out of hand, one of the assistant starters made a ‘‘bloomer” of it, and as a result her chances were reduced fifty per cent at the. start. Chris Miller, who had the leg up, rode a persevering race, but could not run down the bchrelber en- try. Delagoa, almost left at the post, lost the show to Princess Wheeler. Taken with the farcical showing made by Tocolaw, the handlcl? proved a most unsatisfactory one. For an off day the attendance large, and the betting spirited. favorites were successful. The Trojan, a member of the Jennings string, took the opening scramble for maiden two-year-olds, starting an 11 to § favorite. Knapp rode the colt and was hard pressed at the finish by Sea Lad, only winning by a nose. Santa Ray ran third, after cutting out the early pace. MY ORDER IS UNPLACED. Dr. Rowell's My Order, a Ilukewarm choice, ran unplaced in the five furiong selling event. The winner turned up in “Lucky” Baldwin's Escamado, played from fives down to 18 to 5. It was a close thing at the finish, McBride bring- ing the Baldwin sprinter from a rear posi- tion and heating Entre Nous by a head. Grabham on Forerunner finished third. ‘What a sorry exhibition the two choices, Rey Dare and Epicure, made in the mile selling fixture. The former carried a sub- stantial stable commission and. could-not untrack kimself, even with Knapp in- the saddle.

Well handled by McBride, Matt caught the pacemaker, Procrastinate, In the run home, scoring easily. Hipponax lost the show to Mrs. Rob by a narrow margin, Corn Blossom, at 4 to 5, looked like money from home to take the last, a mile purse run, and he did. «with a little shaking up from Knapp he led Bannock Belle out a couple of lengths: The show fell to St. George Jr. NOTES OF THE TRACK. “Big Bill” Knapp ahd McBride each piloted two winners. Abe Levy and Bd Gaines, two New York bookmakers, are recent arrivals. Jack Case bid up Escamado $500 over the entered selling price of $400 without securing the Baldwin entry. Captain Rice's Lone Wolf was boost- ed from $500 to $1000 by Jim Neil, trainer of Ethel Abbott. The stable re- tained the gelding. ——— TWO-YEAR-OLD HANDICAP INGLESIDE'S FEATURE.
