MINNES0TA'S COACH
TALKED OF FOOTBALL

Dr. H. L. Williams athletic director at the
University Of Minnesota, made several state
ments Of interest to the followers Of western
football at the banquet of the Northwestern
Alumni association of the University of Penn
sylvania held at the Nicollet hotel last night.
He said that while football would always be
a strenuous game it was not nearly so dangerous
as it was charged with being, and added that a
large part Of the prejudice against the game was
due to exaggerated newspaper reports. In sup
port of this statement he pointed to the fact
that upon the investigation of the committee
which conferred with President Roosevelt, only
six Of the eighteen deaths charged to football
were traced to the game.
In speaking Of the relative strength Of the
eastern and western teams, DR.. Williams said
that he thought game between a good western
team and the best the east could produce would
open the eyes Of the easterners in regard to the
possibilities of the game, for, according to all
reports the game played in the east is slow.

ECKERSALL FOR
Old TACKLE RULE
Chicago Captain Denies Proposed
Change in Rules Will Be
Practicable.
Journal Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Dec. 19.-Captain Eckersall of the
Chicago football team, who Walter Camp picks
as the best tacker in the country, does not
think the proposed football regulation which pro-
htbits tackling except between the knees and
shoulders, will be of any benefit. The maroon
quarter, who himself also tackles above the
knees, believes the rule would be fmpracticable
by the inability Of the officials to enforce the
regulation.
THE proposed rule prohibiting tackling below
the knee would probably bring about more dis
putes than reforms in football" said EckersaH.
1T will be impossible for the officials to enforce
the rule. They can never determine where man
Is tackled except in a few cases. and If decis-
lon Is made the tackler will claim he tackled
above the knees. but his hands slipped down,
which often happens. This will lead to disputes
between the rival players and cause i'll feeling,
which will do much harm. A similar rule was
tried some years ago and proved a failure.
There were not enough injuries among the
bigger teams to warrant changing the game
much. like Mr.. Stages plan of having one
set Of rules for the college teams and another
for the prep school players" 49,. - -.
