...present intercollegiate organization. In fact he bases his whole case upon the contention that more emphasis rather than less upon football would be the result of the Dartmouth plan. In other words he is against Mr. Hopkins constructive program because he is in sympathy with the desire for reform which actuated that program...
...highly encouraging one. It seems to justify the contention made yesterday that the time was ripe for definite and constructive action. The important thing is not whole hearted support for the specific proposals of President Hopkins but general agreement with his fundamental contention that steps should be taken to reform abuses in intercollegiate football.
