SCHOOLS BEGIN TALK
OF FOOTBALL SEASON
DEBATE PLAYING RUGBY OR
AMERICAN GAME
English Grldiron Methods Not Satls-
factory to Smaller Schools,
Although Scope of Uni-
versltIes Enlarged

With the opening of local schools only
a month away the question of what kind
of football will be played is causing
much discussion.
When Stanford and Berkeley adopted
Rugby last fall many of the local schools
followed the example of the big univer-
stiles.
Others stuck to the old game, encoun-
tering much opposition from parents and
professors.
A number tried the reformed American
game.
Now the schools are actively debating
the question and trying to agree on one
form of football for them all. The Los
Angeles Polytechnic and the Long Beach
and Compton high schools have decided
in favor of Rugby, no matter what the
others may agree upon.
Nearly all the schools of Southern Cali
fornia are preparing to adopt more
open style of playing. The open games
from the standpoint of the spectator and
Rugby Not Satisfactory
Rugby was not altogether satisfactory
last season even in the universities. Too
much depends on the umpire.
The element of chance enters to a
greater degree tnan In the ola style
game. A lucky kick by weak opponent
may undo twenty minutes of consistent
playing by the superior team.
For the universities Rugby has the ad-
vantage of enlarging the field of compe-
tition. The Vancouver team came south
to play Stanford last fall and Stanford
repaid the visit at the end of the season.
There was much talk of sending both
the Berkeley and Stanford teams or a
picked California team to Australia to
play Rugby. This dream may be realized
during the coming season If Rugby is
generally adopted in this part of the
country.
In adopting the Rugby game last sea-
son the west coast teams were decidedly
in advance of the eastern and middle
western schools, where all sorts of modi-
fications of the American game were
adopted. The rules differed so much from
school to school that they found consid-
cradle difficulty in playing against one
another.
Public opinion demands change in the
old game and the mass play. Some style
of open game must be adopted. The
schools of California should endeavor to
agree upon the same style of game and
uniform rules, so that there may be no
difficulty in matching any team against
another.
