The purpose of organizing a lighter football team, as suggested by our communicant this morning, is admirable. Any sport with the strong attraction that football has should be enjoyed by as many participants as possible. From the nature of the game few men of light and intermediate weights can safely or profitably play football, yet there are numerous gridiron devotees who tip the beam below the University average. Wrestling, boxing, and rowing are conducted in avoirdupois divisions with beneficial results for light men; why not football?

We pause, however, are endorsing the suggestion that an official recognized eleven be formed and a schedule for it arranged. A light team would constantly he disrupted by promotions of its mainstays to the University string. Again, its contests would have little public attraction; we doubt that it would be self-supporting. Thirdly, it is not, after all, an adequate solution of the participation problem. Only some twenty men would enjoy its benefits; it would not open the sport to the many enthusiasts that now line the benches. We suggest an intramural football league of class or other teams as more fully meeting the demand. Above all, we shy at the idea of a 150-pound eleven being established officially lost it prove an added ramification of a sport that already receives a dangerous amount of emphasis. Football fills a large enough space in the University's life as large enough space in the university's life as things stand now. Any further expansion should be kept within our own gates. The Princetonian.
