OF FOOTBALL. The annual arraignment of football for various high erimes and misdemeanors is this year rather more sav- age, if anything, than usual. As fer its crimes, has it not killed fourteen and In- Jured an unparalleled total of 206 players? The Evening World has no desire to extenuate this formidable show- ing of the Kami's dangers except to note that they apply chiefly to the very mostly make up the casualty list Dut grauting its perils to players better adapted young and the inexperienced, who physically to golf or tennis, what ground 1s there for Bupt. Draper's indictment of the sport as “breeding loat- ing, gaming and drinking” and militating against living?” It is difientt to follow the critic's argument, A sport which encourages a fine spirit of manly rivalry, which furnishes a keen Incentive for the athletic training discouraging vice as “sound which, makes for a sound body, physically harmful, would seen to make for good morals also, To compare its obvious beneficial influence with the malign effect of the gambling-house and the saloon betrays curiously illogical reasoning. Possibly Prof, Draper's idea js that as only few take part jn the game It ts for the ma who ae {t a spec tucle in the nature of a horse race or a prize fight, There fs a widespread misapprehension as to the general par- ticipation of college students in the heavier athletic games, Yet of the 331 students composing the present freshman class at Yale 196, or 60 per cent. hed taken part in “team athletics,” in football, baseball, &c,, pre- vious to entering college, In the last Harvard report It was noced that one-third of all the students who took regular oxercise directly participated in the sports which are popularly supposed to he played only by the chosen tow. A game which engages the manly activities of thou- sands of youth the nation over and draws to witness It audiences of hundreds of thousands of a class constl- tuting, as was said of the Army-Navy game and is true of all college games, “a social function,” ts hardly to be viewed as a menace to morals, Undoubtedly the sight of an injured player borno from the field on a stretcher is to be doplored. further allegations, it is culpable for student youth to Wager thelr dollars on the outcome of the game. Per- haps it is bad that the game should “gather more money | than ovght to be under the contro! of students,” though a8 a matter of fact that control Is vested in graduate of- ficials, Nevertheless football has become an American nstl-| tution, one promoting manliness and morals and unde- serving of a censure which could more profitably be directed against less meritorious developments of na-| tional life. Children, Parenia and Pant Tt Is to be wondered whether any of the Ittle sons and daughtors of the Women who trampled one another in foolish panic at the Harlem Opera-Howse matines have been pert enough to explain to their mainmas how much better they act In school under the fire driil, Within two weeks there have | been two cauceless theatre panics and three examples of | school children in a at jon of danger either marching coolly out of the school-house or calmly keeping thelr seats. The honors are decidedly with tue children. WALKS THAT MOVE IN A DREAM, New York is a hustling city often prosaic, It has mever been able, in planning its great public works, to, look far enough ahead to catch the meaning of its own Progress. It outgrew the Subway even while that splen- did bore was being pushed along. And it has outgrown almost overything else—even (ts own main island—quite Qs persistently and amazingly But the city is neither without imagination nor with- Out a delicious sense of pleasure in having its imagina- tion tickled. it likes to contemplate fresh pictures of “something doing.” It derives new ideas of \ts own im- portance from tho apparent fact that people sit up nights planning surprises and blessings for its hurrying popu- lation. And sometimes the blessings really happen At the moment, New York {s asked to shut its eyes Weal hard and think of a series of underground moving sidewalks, making crosstown transfer routes from all the stations not only of the present Subway, but of what- ever subways may come—under Sixth, Seventh or any other avenue. Such a vision is good enough to fall true ‘And for possibility'’s sake, indeed, the proposition, so far as it relates to a walk under Thirty-fourth street, is about to come before the high municipal powers Before the foreshadowing of a finish, let us say that, at any rate, the general scheme is “something like.’ A TAVERN ON NEW LINES, From far Winnipeg, !n Manitoba, comes news of th @ontemplated establishment of a great moral drinking somewhat on the lines of our own Subwoy Tavern iprocity with Canada, at least to (ae extent of un- ‘teriffed ideas in reform, may therofore be considered as }, But the Manitobans will go New York better by sev- For these the Subway offers no substitute.
