Then, again, the knowledge that foot
ball is not so dangerous as in recent
years will make possible the playing of
hundreds of able men whose families
formerly kept them on the side lines
for worriment, and thus, following the
dissipation of their objections. many
desirable recruits will don the mole
skin.
1t is a noticeable fact that accidents
this season up to the present time have
been fewer in number than in years
past. The game at the same time has
not suffered. However, the rules COM
mittee has gone far enough. Should
the members of this august assernblage
decide to make the game even less
strenuous than at present they Will

The fate of basket ball should teach
the football dignitaries a lesson. Once

to q state that attracts only schoolgirls

Football *
And Trofffr,6

TVHE opening games of football
have proved conclusively to the
coaches that the changes in the
n rules have brought results
which, while opposed in some
quarters, are of benefit TO the game.
That the mass game has gone into a
partial eclipse few broad minded people
Geplore, and now with the new dispen-
sation OF open play between the tven-
ty-five yard lines we may expect TO see
football more popular than ever before.
The reasons why the revised rules
should make the game more popular
are very plain. First. the layman will
be able to go to a contest and derive
from it a measure of pleasure denied
TO him before. During the vogue of
mass plays games would be played in
which both bail and runner We're hid
den from view most of the time. The
men would lire up. tumble themselves
together like flock OF frightened
sheep and suddenly lunge forward
making, say. a couple OF yards at a
time. Now, TO the expert this IS all
very well. He can read something in
every move Of the huddled bunch OF
dirt bedaubed warriors. He knows
who takes the ball through what part
Of the line the play is made and just
who is to blame for missed tackles.
fumbles, etc. But to the uninitiated all
is q hopeless puzzle. The open game.
however, gives chances for long runs
that any one can appreciate. The play
ers, too, benefit through the fact that
they now have double the opportuni-
ties for brilliant individual plays. More
responsibility rests on the individual
now than heretofore, and this change is
well liked by men who are not afraid
of hard work and have nerves capable
of standing q strain.
