A Bill Against Football.

Yesterday in the State Legislature, D. A. Buckley, of Cambridge, introduced a petition for legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of football and such "as will prevent the slugging or roughness of said games when played between teams representing colleges or other educational institutions."

A bill accompanying the petition provides punishment for any person "who takes part in a game of football when a game is played in the presence of persons who have paid an admission fee to witness the game, or who promotes the playing of a game of football when money is charged for admission to the same, or who offers or sells a ticket of admission to a game, or who while a student in an institution of learning and while engaged in a game of football, beats, strikes or intentionally wounds or bruises another person engaged in playing such game."
