The chief advantage of association
football over Rugby is that it is an
open game. Mass plays are unknown.
The players are scattered. to a cOnsid-
cradle extent and the bail is always in
sight. Also, the ball is in the air much
of the time. Association is more un-
certain, less accurate and consequently
eot SO highly developed a game as
Rugby. Generalship can be made much
more effective in the latter game.
