...press of the country has voiced a general demand for revision of the football rules. An undue number of severe injuries and the preponderance of mass plays are the features of the game which are most severely criticised. In the months following the season of 1905 a similar protest caused the Rules Committee to make radical reforms in the game; It seems likely that some changes must also be made this year to meet the expectations of those who are dissatisfied with present conditions...

Is the man who runs on the track every day during the winter supposed to do his college work conscientiously, while the basketball player neglects his? Such a supposition is ob- viously absurd. Either both athletes will study, or both will not do any work.
