Caspar Whitney on Football Season 90
Harper's $ Weekly.

The football season of '96 provided in
teresiing and brilliant illustration of the
impossibility, under the present rules,
OF insuring an open game. And yet the
rules of '96, revised under the auspices of
the University Athletic Club by a most
competent committee, wsre the best rules
which by the light Of the past expert
ence could at that time have been made.
American football, however, is continu.
ously growing, and we must keep pace
with it's development oy accepting the
lessons of each seasons play, and by
recasting our rules in accordance.
For several years the tendency to more
or less close play has been marked; two
years ago mass plays were the rule, last
year much of them was eliminated, and
this year the nve-yard rule abolished
actual mass formation, but left abundant
room for close play, and failed to open the
game, as most of Us had wished 1t might
do.
The lesson taught by the '96 season is,
therefore, that the rule reading.
Whom the ball Is put In play, at least FIVE
men must be on tho line of the scrim.
mage. IL, when tie ball is put In play,
five players, not including the quarter
back, be behind the line of scrimmage ana
inside of the positions occupied by
players at end OF said line, then two Of
these players must be at least five yards
back or said line,
has partially failed in its purpose, and
that IL does not entirely prescribe mass
formations, por give US the open games
80 very much desired.
Ii would be unwise, I think, to go
further in prohibitive legislation In 20 far
ss the formation of the eleven is con-
cerned. IL seems to me the captain
should be bound In that respect to no
greater extent than the present rule holds
him. Moreover, we do not wish the
strategic element Of foot ball destroyed,
because II Ia one OF its most fascinating
qualities. Unless very radical and alto
gether undesirable rules were made, ii is
more than probab BILE the ingenuity OF cap
tains and coaches would devise means
Of getting around any rule In favor OF
some pIsy which relied for its success
largely on mere physical exertion. Nor
would II be desirable, In my opinion, for
ever to exrel clio play from the captains
cst'loguc.
What we dn wish Is to make the plsy
more open. Not because close plsy is
more fr, ful Of Injury, nor because IL Is
not scientific, but because II rsthe. makes
of mere brute force on ascendant quality,
and tends TO the Introduction q plays
ttst show too wido discrepancy be-
between mind and matter.

cverpowering advantage ought to have
secured Murdoch the victory. but his
bad subsequent play. by which Price

efforts. Later on, however. Price
blundered and lost the game after 43

Southard seemed well prepared for a
Scotch gambit, offered by Young, for
after Whites firth move the Harvard
man proceeded with an almost ire
slstable attack. Young's attempt to de-
fend the onslaught proved a complete
failure. and after he had made 13 moves
only, Southland announced a mate In
three moves.
On the first board Seymour and Parker
discussed a Dutch opening, which ran
evenly from beginning up toward the end
OF the game, and although both tried
hard to get an advantage II was de-
cidedly close throughout After IS
