SOME WAYS TO
TAME FOOTBALL.
Suggestions That May be Of
Value TO ReViSerS Of the
Rules

It IS now practically certain that
the game Of football as played by the
American colleges will be revised so as
TO make it less dangerous to the play
ers who participate. Just what these
changes viii be is problematical. Wal
ter Camp, who is the foremost expert
on the game in this country, will be
one Of the revisers. and his opinions
viii probably carry great weight with
the others.
But Mr.. Camp. as has been proved
In past years. is not a conservative
reviser. No Yale team in recent years,
under his tuition, has quite gotten
away from the old mass play idea that
has caused so many broken bones and
deaths. Yale's eleven made open play
under the new rules very dangerous
during the past season by having an
end Of the Fitzpatrick type who invar-
/ iably tackled the man who caught
! Capt. Coy's punts with such force as
/ to practically knock the wind out Of
/ him every play. Bergin, Of the Prince
| tons, was handled so roughly that he
! broke one Of his ribs but, despite his
! injury he failed to muff a single punt,
! thus upsetting the Yale plan Of battle
a bit.
One Of the rules which the Revision
Committee should put into force is the
one affecting this very thing. No
tackler should DO allowed within three
feet of the man who is catching the
ball until the catch has been actually
| made as is provided for in the rules of
the Canadian game, exploited on sat
1 urday afternoon in Manhattan before
a committee OF experts. 1t would be a
very good rule TO make every catch
q fair catch. under which the catcher
is immune from tackling.
The Canadian rule prohibiting offside
interference will probably never be
adopted in this country. as interference
of the American sort is half the game
as played from a scientific point oi
view Two good ends on either clever
that played Saturday could have made
it practically impossible for either team
to score. It is not surprising that the
experts who saw the Canucks perform
Saturday went away disappointed anC
convinced that the Canadian game vii
not do for the American colleges.
one suggestion that the revisers viii
probably take into consideration is on,
that will probably do away with masi
play with all time. 1t is to the effec
that while any number OF men ma.
precede the runner with the ball. onll
one may follow after him. BY thi
rule a single lineman, a guard or {
tackle, will not be subjected to th'
impetus of from three to six men, hit
ting him with the force of an auto
mobile exceeding the speed limit.
Another suggestion is that some o
b the limitations be removed from
quarterback runs. Under the presen
rules "a quarterback must run fiv
! yards to one side before he can ad
, vance with the ball, and he must ais
{ move as many yards TO the side befor
B he can deliver a forward pass. Wer
he allowed to stand in his position an

COLLEGE BOYS In

ware College.

throw such a pass or advance with
the ball the game would lose none of
its science and would be opened out
considerably.
A rule prohibiting two men from
tackling the same man at once would
also be a very good one. Tackle Tied
Lilley was put out Of the Yale-Harvard
game in the first few minutes Of play
from being tackled viciously by two
Harvard players. His body was bent
forward and back at the same instant
and the breath was knocked completely
out Of him.
Some one has suggested that the limit
of yards to be made in three downs be
increased fifteen yards. This, it is
pointed out, would make sustained
rushing less profitable and force
elevens TO employ forward passes and
onside kicks more than has been the
case. Another man has come forward
with the suggestion that teams be al
lowed only two downs in which to
make the required ten yards. Still
another man has suggested that the
fullbsck and the quarterback positions
be abolished, the ball being passed
directly from the center TO one of the
two halfbacks, who are the only ones
allowed to carry the ball under this
scheme.
Still another freak suggestion Is to
the effect that when man is seriously
/ injured, the man who caused the in
| jury be removed from the game as
we'll as the victim. The exploiter of
this rule thinks that It win tend to
make players more careful than here
tofore He points out that the Yale
/ coaches, for instance, with such q rule
/ in effect would be very careful to have
/ their star men act IN ladylike man
ner toward opponents IN order TO pre-
vent being lost themselves to their
team.
Heretofore there has been no general
rule regarding the injury to players
except that time must be taken out
whenever a man is hurt. It is sug-
gested that a rule prohibiting mar
who has been dazed or painfully in.
jured in a scrimmage from playing any
longer be put into force. The ad,
vocates of this rule declare that haC
Cadet Byrne been taken out OF tn,
West Point Harvard game when h'
was first injured he would have es
capped serious injury.
Hundreds Of suggestions of the kin,
shown in this article are being made
every day and it will soon be up to tn
experts 10 take some action. Anothe
year under the present rules IS not a
all probable.
