PRINCETON, Dec. 6. A protest against the methods if "present day football" is made by Henry B. Thompson, '77, of Wilmington, Delaware, a former member of the Graduate Advisory Committee of Princeton University Athletic Association, in a letter to tbe Alumni Weekly of this week. The weekly and students in general do not agree with Mr.

Thompson's views. Mr. Thompson says in part: "Football has lost all tbe elements of the game. Tbe game is so strenuous that everything must give way to meet the demand of training. The result of this is that, as far as study is concerned, it ig largely a closed season until the final football game Is Over.

Tbe ode of ethics that obtain in football is not tbe code of any other sport. In golf, a player wbo knowingly and continually breaks the rules of the game is ostracised. In football, tripping, holding and off-side play done out of sight of the officials of the game are part of tbe repertoire of a first-class football elev-eu. To do np some particular star who excels in some department of the game is part of the duty of a well-trained team. An instance in point: A player has bis shoulder injured; to protect it has a leather guard made, going Into one of the big games, the leather guard Is shift's! to the uninjured shoulder, he knowing in advanee tbe attack will be made where the injury is supposed to be.

"How to correct these evils is a problem. It would seem that the Faculty and Graduate Advisory Committee have it within their power to iielp the. situation." Mr. Thompson speaks against a "ten-dav off" the team at some mountain or sea health resort in consequence of "over-application to the duties of the 'and ends with urging some means to make tbe game more one of amusement and not to hare the men train so much with a "quixotic sense of duty towards the college and team." In au editorial following tbe Weekly shows that from statistieg at Princeton this year foothall men have had a general standing, and flBsenoy of faeulty regulations requiring that a man with even one condition cannot play on the college team the urged to do better work in the college coures than if they did not play football. Football men were found to "cut classes no oftener than other students.

The Lima Hunt ouly mustered ten riders, but as far as the sport was concerned they had a most enjoyable day.

Starting from Darlington at 9 o'clock it did not take the ten couples of hounds many minutes to get the trail of a fox. With a loud "Gone away," the horn was sounded by the huntsman. Tbe riders were soon in full cry. Master Reynard pr. ved to be the old customer which had often afforded the Limas many a good run.

He was in as g.xKl condition as formerly. Starting off at a great pace be soon distanced Ms pursuers, but then slacking up in the direction of Wawa he was viewed by the hounds and riders, but not for long, however, for this fox seems to have a delight in allowing hounds to get as near as he thinks proper, when be promptly gets a move on to safer quarters. Skirting aloug by the school house he was once more clearly viewed, lu the whole morning's run he was In sight no less than fourteen times. Mile after mile was reeled off, and it was not before 1 o'clock tiiat he seemed wearied of bis exertions and took to cover, having given tbe hunters four good hours hard riding.

This game was only introduced to Haverford last year.

but. to Judge from the interest taken then and revived this year, the game is here to stay. Last year a fair percentaee of victories fell "to the lot of Haverford. and this year, with more experience, there should be more success. Haverford plays this year in a league of the junior teams of the many cricket clubs, around Philadelphia.

To be tackled in the oien meant a slide of several yards on the smooth surface. As skates are barred in the game the players were at a disadvantage.

The cleats on their shoes did not grip well on the frozen field. It was almost impossible to get started on a run and onca Tt is a very hard task to Judge the strength of two football teams in different sections of the country, especially when they have not met each other nor gone np against tbe same elevens, writes Anthony W. Chex, coach of tbe University of Cincinnati team, in the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune. After thinking over the details of Thanksgiving Day's game and discussing it with other critics, 1 find that my opinion of Michigan has not changed I believe she has as good a team as there Is in the country. I would not say the best, because that could only be decided in a championship series.

Even though two of the so-called best elevens met, tbe winner could not fairly claim the championship unless each met and defeated the same teams.
