E. K. HALL'S REMARKS WIN ALUMNI APPROVAL
March, 1926

Alumni publications throughout the country have been printing in its entirety or partially the address given by E. K. Hall '92, Chairman of the Football Rules Committee, at the dinner given by the New York Sun to the members of that paper's "All-American" football team. Among the many editorial comments on Mr. Hall's remarks, the following from the Columbia News is reprinted here as representative of the appreciation expressed:

Football's .Real Champion

"The ghost of football walks again in this week's NEWS. It is a substantial ghost this time because Mr. Hall, the author of the article which we reprint, is now and has been one of the men who, believing in the inherent value of football as a game for college boys to play, has guarded its reputation and protected it against assaults from its enemies. He is typical of. the best exponents of the sport; as anyone who reads this article will speedily discover. Anyone who, invited to speak at a dinner in honor of an "All-American'' team, has the courage to tell the promoters of a popular idea that their efforts are against the best interests of the game, and to attack everything that the dinner itself typifies, is a real champion. If football had more of his calibre on its roll of proponents we would hear less of its 'evils.'"
