A. G. Spalding & Bro, New York,
have issued new official football rules
Tor the season Of 1891. It is the most COM
plete book Of the kind they ever sent out,
and to those interested in the game every
page is important. Walter Camp, G
best-known football authority in Anne
lea! has not only edited the book, but HI S
written an admirable article explaining
the changes in the rules and the causes
that led thereto, and also describing in q
! Iliost interesting manner the different
MODES OF play now in vogue. He speaks
OF the origin Of the now famous 'sV''
TRICK, and also of the manner in which it
was so much and SO successfully used in
! the past season.
The famous ''wedge" trick is also
dWelt upon, and in fact every point of the
game, including kicking, passing, run
nlng around the ends. etc. In addition
to this article and the official rules for

constitution of the American Intercol-
/ leglate Football Association. The article
written by Mr.. Camp is not only cow
rlghted, but the rules themselves as well.
so that this little book is the only official
! football guide published this year
Ihe interest in football last season was
something wonderful, and there is every
promise that it will be far greater this
year. The mere fact that OH Thanksgiy-
ing Day two college teams We're enabled
TO play one game at which the cash re-
celpts We're only trifle short of $50. 600
speaks for itself.
