Brill, who bas been a wellknown figure on the gridiron for tjeHrlv ten years, at Harvard, at Phillips Academy and at the fashionable St Paula’s school on Long Island, severely condemns football. He terms it as a mere gladiatorial combat, and says that he fails to see that the gßme has the intricacies that some claim for it. “Football is war, and war is hell,” he says, “but football is worse thau the hell of war, because it has no redeeming features.”
