MID-WINTER FOOTBALL.
The Fun Left in and the Hard
Knocks Taken Out.

AUaGh Ohs'
For those who like to play football
on the milder days of the winter, and
who want lively exercise without
roughness or danger or the necessity
of special clothing and yet with plenty
of fun and excitement, a game which
has recently been contrived is admira-
bly, adapted. It's great advantage is
that it needs no specially prepared field
or elaborate lines, and tina: five on a
side are plenty to make good sport,
while as few as three, or as many If
| the field be lar &c enough as II e.. &
side may play. Take, for example, a
game where there are five players on
a side: AS team against ks. All that
is required is a fairly level space, a
regular oval pig-skin football. and two
goal posts, the. size of the regulation
goal, but with the cross-piece only a
yard from the ground. The field for a
game of five on a side should be ap-
proximately so yards long and 30 yards
wide.
Now suppose that AS team has the
ball. 1t is placed 20 yards in front of
the goal for the kickoff. A team lines
up on a level with the ball To cover
the field WELL KS side will dispose
themselves about as in the accompany
ing diagram. A kicks, full and fair, and
the opposing team starts for the ball,
which is not in play till it touches one
of them. Suppose the ball flies toward
Y, and he sees that he can catch it
on the fly. He may now do one of two
things; either make a fair catch. or
catch and run with the ball toward the
opponents goal. In the former case, he
, calls out "Fair catch,' and if he
catches he may, without opposition ad-
vance the ball five PAGES. 1t is then
put in play for his side from that spot.
If. however, he elects to catch and
run it back, he may run with it until

touched-not tackled, but merely tagg-
ed, by any man of the other team who
was behind the ball when it was kicked
off. The ball is then down for his side.
at the spot where he was touched and
is put into play from there. If the
leather is not caught on the fly 1t is
put into play on the spot where it is
finally stopped, but cannot be run back
or advanced from there.
After the kick-off KS side has the
ball, and must return it either by punt
or drop kick. The kicking is done in
the alphabetical order of names, each
player taking his turn. The first kick
for KS side is therefore by V, and the
ball is turned over to him by what
ever player caught it or stopped 1t. He
may return it from the spot where it
was down." or from any part of the
field not forward of that line. For AS
side, B has next kick; then comes w,
then c, then X, then d, and so on. Any
player may catch and advance the ball,
but only the one whose turn it is may
kick. The object Is, of course. to gain
ground, and to return the ball into a
part of the field not covered by the en-
emy's formation. If the ball goes out
of the side lines, it is put in play from
the line where 1t crossed through the
boundaries. Presently one side will
have worked the ball far enough down
to try for goal. The trial may be either
by punt or drop kick. The ball must
go between the air space marked by
the goal posts alt any hight over the
cross bar, but it does not count a goal
if 1t be caught on the fly by the de-
tenders of the goal behind the goal line.
If the trial for goal fails the other side
punt out from their goal line. Re
member that the trial for goal may al
ways be made from directly in front. as
the ball may be carried straight across
the field in either direction after a down
before kicking. After a goal the side
defending the goal kicks off again. If
the ball is successfully carried by one
side behind the opposing goal line it
may be brought out directly in front
of the goal for kick for goal
1t will be found that after a little
practice the passing and kicking will
be very fast, and will keep both sides
on the jump to cover the field and pre-
vent the ball from being run back too
far. Ge1iekness and -eeuracy Of $udg-.
ment, surenees of catch, fleetness OF
foot. and ability to place plInts, four of
the most valuable qualities in regular
football, will soon be developed by this
game. which is lively enough to fur
nish plenty of excitement and exercise.
If desired, interference may form and
protect the man running with the ball,
though this makes the play rougher,
and is likely to result in some sharp
collisions and hard tumbles.

1t is. therefore, clearly Republican
policy to discontinue such duties when pro J.
