but there should be limit to sthel rough

but there should be limit to uhes rough
ness. What the limit is it is hard to de-
ciGe. The way to get rid of the unneces-
sary roughness and foul tactics, and |
think the main way and the best way and
only way to eliminate it, is that in COACH
ing teams the players shall be taught, and
it should be insisted upon, that ali the eff
fort should be directed to legitimate foot
ball and that they should restrain their
tempers.
by this 1 do not mean to be under
stood to say that it necessa riiy follows
that man INDUCES II roughness. But
the man should restrr in him self and
should be made to restr IN himself from
attempting anything of the sort. 1 think
1t all depends on the individual player
himself, despite the coaching and every
thing else.
Then, again, there are few points as
regards the rules that might be changed
little, or at least insisted upon stronger
than they are, which will help to elini-
nate the disagreeable feature of the game
One OF them is in relation to piling on
man when thrown. The rule requires
that when man is tackled and thrown
upon the ground the referee shall blow
his whistle, and after that any piling on
by other men IS penalized by fifteen
yards. The object Of this rule as | have
understood II, is to prevent any unneces-
sary pillng on and the piling on with the
deliberate intention to injure man.
This rule has worked pretty well this
year, because it has prevented good
deal Of this piling on when the man is
thrown. But it ought to be insisted on
even more strongly than it has been dur
ing the past year. do not think the rule
needs changing ITSELF but the umpire
and referee should be made to enforce it
more strongly.
Then there is one feature of the game
which is disagreeable to the spectators
and has the appearance OF roughness in
1t, and that is the interfering with the
center while swapping the ball. The rule
TINS year says the center shall have full
possession of the ball and interference
with the ball by his opponents shall be
penalized.' l think the rule ought to be
made to read, Interference with the CEN
