Chicago University's Reasons. CIICAGO University's faculty, un- der stress of strong criticism, has condescended to explain Its position in refusing to let its football eleven oppose the Michigan University team in a military service benefit contest. The reason was that, had the game been played.

If it were held indoors we have the splendid Coliseum, capable of seating an estimated persons one of the largest halls in the country and admirably adapted for the purpose. If held in the spring; or summer, there Is no place better salted than Sportsman's Park, where a steel grandstand, seating nearly lO.OOO, augmented by ringside seats on the ground, would afford, a close view for over 15,000 persona. St. Louis has held no military sporting benefit of an important nature and therefore is overdue to contribute something in which sporting men play a part.

That is not considered at all an outlandish weight for a man 6 feet 7 inches tall in his bare feet.
