Danger In Striking Head.
Some OF the rulemakcrs and others
would have us believe that all the for
mcr dangers IN football came from the
old mass plays, They set about TO
change the rules. The first thing done
was to eliminate the guard back, tac-
kle back and all that class of plays
That were formed by playing more than
three men back of the line. They then
Instituted the forward pass. which was
Intended TO keep the ball In the open
and, by scattering the men over tho
field, prevent injuries from those grind
Ing scrimmages that formerly made
the game such tumble to the spec
tators
These rules We're all well intended
They made the game much better for
the spectator, and the sport naturally
grew into greater popularity. But It
did not eliminate a particle of danger
II mass plays were as dangerous as
some persons assert they can be played
under the present rules with Just as
much danger as they could under tho
former laws Harvard has play over
tackle that brings nearly every man on
the team through the gap.
There Is no way that danger can be
eliminated from football by changing
the rules. They might change the game
so that IL would be altogether different
IN principle, but then it wouldn't be
football
When the rules OF football were
changed Il was with the idea that the
sport should be made more open and
that an eleven need not necessarily be
coached "a believe that an hope Of It's
success depended upon retaining the
