marked l?v an unusual nuinher of 1

qtlalllications for the game ami
then minutely coacjied in the
f uiida menials ol play -which in
cludes proper protection such as
knowing how to fall, how to hrad
against shocks and t h ? like.
Attain there Is the necessity of
competent trainees, expert condi
tloners of athletes whose word is
law tin all points of fitness and
when a man should play and when
he should not.
The trouble wlih football al
present is that it Is increasing so
rapidly in popularity as a game to
play us well as to watch that the
country Is filled with elevens
tossed upon the gridiron without
adequate knowledge of the game
?or any idcu of the basic elements
of self preservation which thor
oughly grounded coaches teach
first of all.
Ami the question of dispropor
tionate weight, particularly in
high school games also is a factor.
Home small half-hackc^l high
school eleven faces a tedm of a
larger and better coached school
nml the wonder always is that nev
eral of the small school players are .
not killed.
Where players are mature, un
even weight conditions are not so
important, especially where coach
ing and conditioning have, been
skilfully applied. Hut where
preparation has been Inadequate.!
it Is little short of criminal to per
mit games to he played and this
applies to colleges as well as to
schools.
What lo do about important
football games when gridirons are
practically unplayable is a ques
tion thai curiously enough has
sprung up both in the East and
West this week. It is perfectly
true that elevens play in quag
mires. elements such as coaching,
material and the llkn do not count
for much and the outcome of con
tests Is decided muinly upon

Iiik. Michigan and North western
played in a veritable morass and
Chicago and Illinois were not
inucli better off.
Pour playing conditions are as
much responsible us anything for
the present astonishing jumble
of the western conference situa
tion. Minnesota is the only un
defeated team and this would
seem to he more due to the (Sopli- j
era* light conference schedule
than to any strenKib they may,
possess. Notre Dame beat them ,
li> to 7.
The idea of postponing games
where gridirons are in terrible
shape has been suggested. I)u'. !
this could not be done* because of
the necessity of meeting other
games of the schedule. Some one
has broached the alternative of
outright cancellation of contests.
Hut this would draw loud and
frenzied howls from Hume con
cerned with the financial side of
Intercollegiate football. Of course
games falling on inclement days
might lie thrown Into late Novem
ber or Saturdays up to the mlddU*
of December but against such an
expedient the veto of the faculty
authorities might urlse. It is all
a perplexing pr?4>lom.

New York. Nov. 12. ? -Compe
tent physical conditioners in th*
boxing game say that the way I'a
Strlbling is handling Ills Hon ha*
destroyed any chance the boy ,
might have had of becoming a full |
Hedged heavyweight and possibly i
a champion. The opinion Is that
he is bring fought out.
He has hud over a huudred and
fifty battles in the four years he
has been fighting and earned
$330,000 in so doing.
Of late I'a has been picking soft
ones with a master hand for his '
son, but even so. Young Strlb-.
linn's active life has kept his
weight down and prevented him
from being the Ktalwart heavy
weight he might otherwise have
been.
He was a wearied young man I
when he met Paul Uerlenbach two j
years ago. was weary even before !
the Unlit and he was lucky that
It went over the short route.
His subsequent showing against
Ad Stone confirmed the belief that >
h<- was burning out and his fath
er did a wise thing In taking the
youngster away from the thump
ing lane and putting him back to
school for a six months' period.
Now he Is out of school and fight
ing like a slave.
The Striblings are cruising the
high roads in a caravan consist
ing of a big automobile fitted out
with living quarters for the entire
family. It is a familiar Hlght all
over the country and the elder
Stribling is taking on matches
wherever a promoter can be found
who is willing to match the j
youngster with a local product, j
Strlb lias been knocking all such !
bow-legged out West. His knock- ,
out string is growing by leaps aud j]
bounds. Kddie Huffman. the '
young Navy heavy who met Strib
llng recently out West, says that'
he wishes the light had been set
for more than ten rouhdB as the
Georgian wan tiring rapidly in the j
latter frames of their bout. If
Huffman is not talking through |
his hat it looks as though the j
time will soon come when Strlb- '
ling must be turned out to pas
ture.
