FOOTBALL IN AMERICA.
COMBINATION OF BRUTALITY AND PUGILISM. Boston, July 5. Denouncing college football as a combination of pure brutality and pugilism, David Starr Jordan, president of Leland I Stanford University, led in the discussion ' that followed the repbrt made to-day by the committee on moral education in public schools at the National Education Association in convenion here. The game, he said, arouses the same love-of-the sordid that focused the interest of the country in "a ring away out in far Nevada, where a black man and a white man were pounding each other yesterday." President Jordan favored the substitution of the English game of Rugby. At almost all of the eighteen departmental meetings of the convention there was at least one advocate of the introduction of industrial training and agriculture in the secondary schools.
