FOOTBALL IS ?' ENDANGERED Commercial Spirit that Sends Two Teams a Thou |Mnd Miles fur Sake Big; Gate Receipts a Menace. 4 By JOHN B. FOSTKil X ICai?rt?ht IW Br m* A #*?*.?> new York, Nov. 18. ? The grow* ~ lug trend of commercialism in v football, which manifests ItBelf In * the playing of games by outside ? teams in great cities like New York and Chicago, in meeting with . ft growing opposition among the ^^bnservatlve supporters of the '/^fcme. One of the greatest oppo nents of these "exhibitions" has, .unfortunately been called from t'tho fray. In one or the last talks the :/?writ<?r had_.with the late lVrcy D. Haughton, Uiat great coach said: "The moment money enters In f to football contest as the objec , live, Instead of the Triendly uud [^Spirited rivalry of college against |M college, we are going to have en gendered In players the idea that Kanch contests after nil are not Rjprth while. ? "It la extremely bad policy to fm%ke college men believe -tha? V they are playing in u big 'show.' jfcThey may go along for a while. I'btit ultimately the heart will be taken out of the game and there i Will be nothing left but huske. K "Home and home gam< s I firm fly believe In ? whether the 'home 'be ji large city or a small college; * iwn.

Hut I am averse to jpfeelng a team travel 1.000 miles' ftp. meet a team which also has pn Veiled 1.000 miles, " in a city ,-hqre gate receipts alone attract tern. "Football is the only distinct ively college sport we have left Jttpleu It Is rowing. I do not mean that colleges have an ex "lu?lve right to football or lo >wlng. But unless colleges keep gbe upper hand in these sports ? id unless in keeping it they show lemselves above mere monetary tin ? we soon will have no teal ?liege sport left." BOXING MAY BE .

K>?n exclusive sources that are1 I "Tfllftble the writer has word that Ifrlend W. Richardson, Califor jfnia's Quaker governor who has .made no secret of his strong op 1 position to boxing, plans to ap ? point a commission which not only; i tnay put a discouraging damper! ! upon *be newly authorized boxing | jfinie, but may serve to prevent i ^foy "pro" bouts. [?' What would you think, broth-' Of a boxing commission coui led of a prominent clergyman id an equally prominent Y. M A. worker? It would not be th" irt of body under which profes mal boxing would flourish. >uld it? rfe fact, since mutches must b inctioned by the commission and ipttnlBslonors one- appointed iOt bo removed, even by the 'frnor. for a period' of four trs, It is possible that Governor Icunrdson's appointees may pre in t any "pro" boxing of aliy sort. BY LAWRENCE PERflY <C*?yri?kt. l*2l. B, TM A?mbm> | New York. Nov. 18. ? Princeton j beaten by Yah* after the Tigers' hud swamped Harvard with an ex hibition of flawless defensive and : offensive football; Minnesota vic ?tor over Illinois with nothing at , jail to show, so fur as preceeding [games were concerned, that the. Gophers had the ability to cause such nn upset; Columbia holding the strong Army team to a tie;; Auburn holding Georgia to a sin gle score. Centre defeating Ala bama! ? ? The present season is showing convincingly what other seasons J since modern football was played have suggested ? that the outcome of no gauie may be predicated up- ' on mines that have been played. | The whole thing is sheer guess | work and conches and others close to football outfits have to guess as much as any one else. Minnesota answered the ques tion "who can slop Orange" and in answering it affirmatively not only won over llllni but justified the splendid material which ral-j lied to the Crimson and Cold standard this fall as well as the untiring effort expanded in devel oping It to the heights of Its pos sibilities. Dill Spauldlng. the conch, has needed Just Ruch a game as this to place him where he belongs. ,i For the Gophers meet Illinois instructed in the various problems they would encounter and versed superbly In mithcds designed to take advantage of the shortcom ings of the frbanna combination. So with the Vale team ut Princeton. Here was a triumph of skilled coaching based upon tin* shrewdest sort of scouting. Yah s line had th" strength and ability to stop Princeton's rushes. Just ns the Tiger fnruards wire able to hold the Ell line sufficiently in. check to prevent scores being made. Yale won h. cnu.ie she had learm-d how to check Princeton's overhead sysf m and because Princeton bad not learned how to hi op Y .lie's overhead game. Princeton had not learned this be cause in proceeding games Yale had not shown her hand in for ward passing. What problems Yal" Submitted to the Tigers In this respect had to be solved out on the field in the course of the game. And this is always n ter rific handicap to a team. Again. Yah' had the advantage of a vast punting superiority. WliHii you hav<- to face high booming punts dt? p in your terri tory and in turn ran answer this artillery pssault only with guns of smaller Calibre and less power the handicap is very material. Yet Princeton played good foot ball. It was a Irani thai had glv- j en its all against Harvard and the effects of that contest were seen in the comparatively slow down-. Held play of Prlncclou against Yale and the sluggish manner in I which the attack was started. A ' complete contrast. After a bottle of champagne has been opened and the cork again inserted no 7est will be apparent in that bot tle when once more it Is un corked. As the late Tow Shevlinn re marked aftrr the Yale 1915 team hail defeated Princeton and then been snowed under by Harvard. "You cannot make two glasses of lemonad" out of one lemon." So with Princeton. Her men tried hard and played well, but the le thargy of the play and the troup Ing of regulars off the field as the game went on lold of the absence of the vital spark. The Yalo team impressed the writer ns approaching the form of 1 the 1D23 eleven, better in fact. In the department of overhead play. It has but to def? at Harvard by a airger score than Dartmouth made against the Crimson to stand out ns lh? leading team of the Last.

There has been hold ing Is ;he play culled back to the original line of scrimmage and the penalty inflicted from there? 4 Answer ? it depends upon where the foul .occurred. The penalty Is always applied from the spot of the Sierra Neradas and since It is : understood the South Benders will go to the Pacific slope this wln-l t**r the Indiana eleven has such opportunity an no eleven Iirb had to stnnd out as the nation's great est. ?
