ANOTHER PLAN
TO SPOIL GAME
Nova Scotia Man Would Have
English Rugby Come Into
Favor.

New York, Dec. 29.-Englsh Rugby, not as
it is played in England in Canada. but the
style of game adopted by the opponents of the
sport in New Zealand, is suggested as sub
stitute for the game of American football in
letter addressed by Professor j. Edmund
Woodman of Dulhousie university, Halifay, n.
s., to the conference of colleges now consider
ing revision of the game. The New Zea-
land game, Professor WOodman declares, while
devoid OF practically all the Objectionable feat
ures which have brought the American game
into disfavor, possesses much of what is good
in nearly all forms of the sport. He directs
attention particularly to the absence of what
he calls ''mob tackling, with the consequent
mob instinct which it arouses among the spec
tators.
The game also would he says give Eyeli-
ness; greater variety Of possible plays and
strategic situations, and few delays by reason
of injury to players. Its advantages to the
players, in addition to these points, would he
great probability of scarcity of serious in
jury, a game as intense and calling for nearly
as much exertion, without the exhaustion fol-
lowing the American game; greatly decreased
cost, to players and clubs alike; the require
ments and development of certain fine quail
ties not called out by the other games, espe-
cially quickness Of individual judgment and
exertion
In suggesting the substitution of Rugby, Pro-
fessor Woodman says that this plan seems to
him to be the only possible solution Of the
present troubles. He believes that any attempt
to radically revise the present American game
would only result IN us oestructlon. II .

men without providing counter outlet. Slight
