What Football Needs.

Football is skirting the ends OF
railway rate control and the insur-
ance investigation, and. though it's
run is likely to be short, is for the
moment in the lead down the field.
A dozen colleges are considering
motions to forbid it. A thousand
preachers are inveighing against it.
The papers have all printed tabula-
tions OF its casualties. Everywhere
cries OF down" go up from men
who would hardly know a goal il
they saw it. and could not distin-
guish between plunge through center
and place kick.
Yet those who know football best
will do well to heed this growing
protest The game is in great danger.
Legislatures have responded more
than once 10 public cries not half
so distinct or-be il said in al frank
ness-half SO well founded. The
President. having seen the danger.
has set his influence TO help find
remedy. II the leaders in behalf OF
the game are wise they viii be quick
to follow suit.
For no game is worth twenty men
a year and scores upon scores of in
juries. If the choice must be be-
tween that much mayhem and
the game, the American people Will
not choose the game.
But the choice does not, of neces-
sity, lie in that direction. Practical
measures TO sopen" the game and
lessen the number of Injuries have
been proposed in many quarters.
And football has not been improved
as sport, either for players or
spectators, by the development of
the close play which occasions
nineteen casualties out of every
twenty. AS the contests are now
played, not 100 persons out of 80
600 can follow the plays separately.
All that the mass OF spectators see
Is a sudden upheaval among two
lines Of players-a lunge-a stop
doctor running out to the melee
and then a player carried TO the side
lines, or the same performance with
out that variation. Rare runs about
the ends and rarer kicks are the
only features OF real interest to the
average onlooker.
Were the game TO be "opened'-l
as, for example, by removing the Of
side restriction when the bail is
kicked and by increasing TO ten the
number Of yards TO be gained on
downs-the authorities of the sport |
would not only meet the greatest
and best-founded adverse criticism |
OF the game, but double the public |
pleasure in il. This Opening" pro-
cess is distinctly footballs most
urgent need In America. 1t is also
the games last resort. In the light !
Of those facts. every college which |
permits It's students to play football |
including George Washington and
Georgetown in the District Of Col
do well TO lend its in
huence to start a movement toward !
opening the game. or, If the move |
ment has already started, TO push |
its shoulder hard against the wheel |
