and agility and all the features Of open play is
the principle which lies at the bottom or this
game. If you object to a coach who has acted
on this principle that this sort of thing tends
to make of football a horribly monotonous
sport that it develops sided players. and
that it denies the right of spectators to see how
the plays are made, he will reply that 1t wins
games and that is his business. Well, 1T surely
has proved successful in this respect. and If
success lies only in the winning of games, the
reply of the coach is a final argument. 1t is
plain that cannot appeal to the coaches Tor

teams in ways that win matches. regardless OF
any other consideration, so long as they are al

TO be the rules committee. This BODY or men

1t is pleasant 10 be assured, a am in a let
ter from a Princeton man, who knows what the
Tiger coaches hoped and planned for this sea-
son, that Princeton IS not given over to the mass

says IAN through the preliminary season the

spicuous features in Princeton's attack. At the
same time, with a view TO all around develop

paid to close formation work, and, as the West

reached higher standard of efficiency than had
ever before been seen in a Princeton eleven.
Why, then, was the open, end running game
not worked against Yale? The answer is sim

which every lover Of football ought to read.
Saws Mr. Butterworth, in describing the way in
which football reached its present state OF
rnonotony: LAS it is impossible thing, as
rule to develop good football players IN sin
gle year these coaches devised plays which
could be taught more quickly to the individual
than the play Of position. since these plays
as rule make small demands upon football
intelligence and skill. and large acquisitions
upon weight and strength, exercised with little
prejudice against fat stupidity. Wing shifts
guards back, tackles back. first formation and
second formation plays executed with the nice
ty Of those who drilled to carry a spear
became known football: and rules were made
to cover each shake of foot. 1t is not uncom-
mon TO hear expert say that no halfback
should weigh less than IT'S pounds. and to see
them choosing a centre weighing 23O. even II
he is fat and knockkneed TO a lamentable ex-
tent, in place OF a man who weighs only 1S3
or 100. II is useless To point out that the best
players have been men iof varying weights: the
reply is that the game has changed and become
modern 1t has, sadly enough That football
has so changed is not evidence that 1t now
meets the desires of the players and onlookers,
but rather that 1t has been abnormally devel-
oped under the manipulations of those who
