FOOTBALL not A
GAME FOR BABIES

THINK AGITATION ABSURD.

tforcement of Dirty Play Is All That
Us Necessary, Tho He Favors More
Open Play-Lying Down Habit Fools
] spectators-Others' Opinions.

Minrea politans who have achieved
glory on college gridirons are united in
their condemnation of the present agita-
ton against the great college game of
football. TO man the former stars
stand up for the game. They contend
that, played according to present rules,
it Is anything but brutal, and that
it develops the. best that is in a man
mentally and physically. Some Of them
admit that some changes should be
made in the style Of play, while others
believe that in its present form the
game Is at its best. ~. ~
Any number Of games are as much
If not more dangerous than football, -
said "Pudge'' Heffelfinger, Yale's ia
nous guard. "People have obtained
wrong idea of football. This is due
to two things. In the first place mean or
rough play Is the cause of many injuries
and results in much adverse criticism, as
it should. Hard play is not mean play.
7 believe in hard play, but mean play
should be stopped by the officials at all
costs. A mean player should not be
tolerated. We don't want that .kin>
of football players. A man who inten-
tionally plays dirty ball should not
only be ruled out the game in which he
is playing when detected, but should be
ruled out fall games for the season or
forever, depending upon the seriousness
Of his offense. Strict enforcement of
such a rule would materially lessen the
number Of INJURIES Non enforcement
of, the rules against mean players Is
largely responsible for the wave of feel
ing against football.
fEThen the habit players have of. ly-
ing down after every play has given the
public the idea that many more men are
hurt than is the case, think penalty
! should be administered to the team a
member of which takes more than thirty
seconds to get ready for the next play.
If man Is hurt 50 that he needs more
time than that, he should be taken out
of the game. I think it safe to say
that if penalty was attached to this
resting, ,nine-tenths Of the men who now
take time out would not lie down at
all, and the erroneous impression that
many men were injured would not be
given. .......... g., -+sls.
IT am personally in favor of more
open play. I believe mass plays should
be abolished altogether. In opensplay
perhaps as many men would receive in
juries, but these injuries would be OF
more trivial nature. It is the mass
plays that result in the severe injuries

mass plays are pulled off under different
formations just the same. While foot
ball as 1t is played today in our colleges
is not brutal game, think it could be
improved by the abolition of the mass
plays
Alf' Pillsbury, one Of the great
est halfbacks who ever wore a Mime
sofa uniform, is in favor of the game
as it is played today. Football is not

is a man s game, and it makes men out
of those who play. it. It is anything
but brutal if played according to pres
ent rules. I have played a great deal
of football, and / played it under rules
that allowed all the old mass plays in
which the whole eleven formed and
hurled its united weight against the
opposing players. I came out of it all
right, and 1 know of very few who
didn t: It's the unframed boys teams
that suffer injuries. When trained men
play football they don't get hurt Sc
riously, and this agitation against the
greatest of all college games is absurd
and wrong.
AS to- amending the rules to make
the play more open, am in doubt as to
the wisdom of such a step. An open
game is better for the spectator, but [
think it results in more injuries. It is
the running tackles that break legs
and arms, while the mass plays, altho
they are sometimes uncomfortable for
the players, do not as often result in
severe injuries or fatalities.
William G. Leary, another Of Mime
sofas star halfbacks, said: II can't
understand this wave of football reform
that is going over the country. think
the agitators are wrong and Z feel sure
that the authorities Of Columbia col
lege will regret the step they have
taken in abolishing football.
"The game as it is played today is
not a parlor entertainment, but it is
against rough play, smuggling, kneeing,
in the recent Chicago Michigan game,
and the players are trained men, foot
ball cannot be improved. A few such
actions on the part Of officials will
do much for the game. It will make
the players know that rough play will
not be permitted, and that will rob the
game. of it's one bad feature.

efficacy. My personal experience has
been that injuries are most frequent and
serious in open play. I received the
severest injury Of my football career
while making a flying tackle, and I
have found that my case is no excep-
ton to the general rule.''
Walter La Fans, star backfeld man
and also tackle Of ability a few years
ago, said: "The enforcement of the
rules against rough play will do more
than anything else to make football
better game and to remove from it the
stigma that some people now attach to
it. Football is hard game, but for
men trained and taught how to play it,
the danger is not greater than in many
other forms Of sport. I do not think it
needs many changes, or that many can
