poor showing he made in his fight with
Ad Wolgast at Los Angeles, according

1t is known that Nelson trained very

that he would be able to knock out

New York City.-The unfortunate
and untimely death of Cadet Byrne
has focused American attention on
football as it is played to-day and
given to it the worst black eye it has
had in many a year. For coupled
with the West Point fatality is the
case of Midshipman Earl Wilson, the
Navy quarterback, who was probably
mortally injured in a flying tackle in
the Annapolis-Villanova game.
The unfortunate accidents have ex-
cited interest all over the country,
and the question that Is being. asked:
"Are such accidents a%yoidable?" is
being answered in the negative.
AS a result of the death of Cadet
Byrne, of West Point, and the dan
gerous injury to Midshipman Wilson,
of Annapolis, in games Of football, it
is likely some action will be taken
by the college football conference as
ISOLATION to eliminate certain rough
features of the present game.
-Four years ago, after the death of
Harold Moore, of Union College, who
was injured in a game with New
York University on Ohio Field, a cen-
ference of universities and colleges
was called by Chancellor MacCracken,
of New York University, which prac-
tically revolutionized the game. Mass
plays have given way for the greater
part to more scientific methods and
greater stress has been laid, experts
say, on speed than on. weight. 1t
was thought the new rules of open
play, the forward pass and the out
side kick would minimize the danger
of the sport.
1t has been said that the greatest
of injuries come from the bruising
mass plays, but it is pointed out in a
very significant manner by those OPP
posed to even the so-called new game,
that Villanova has a lighter team
than the Navy, and that the weight
question, therefore, can hardly enter
into the present discussion.
The opinion was general among all
the ex-college players seen that the
trouble lies not in the differences Of
weight, not in the differences in meta
DDS of training-for it is pointed out
that the best conditioned undergrad
uate bodies in the world are the corps
of cadets at West Point, and the
brigade of midshipmen at Annapolis
not in inferior football knowledge,
not in any of the usually accepted
theories, but in the rules themselves.
There W vas a harder player,
q more difficult mar to stop, or one
who knew more OF the ms and outs
of mass playing under the old rules
than Robert P. Herman, of Harvard.
In discussing the new game, as op-
posed to the old, with particular re-
gard as to whether the rules had been
really revised, he said:
They say they've opened the
game. Maybe they think they have.
But just look carefully at the penal
ties that surround an incompleted
forward pass. On the first and second
downs an incompleted forward pass
entails the loss of fifteen yards. Well,
4 teams hardly going to take a
chance on that play; then, when 1t
has, it is backed up somewhere near
its own goal line or even in its own
territory anywhere when it's playing
against an opponent of nearly equal
strength. 1t would indeed be too haz-
ardous.
Again, on the third down, if a
team tries to pull off the forward
pass and it falls to the ground1 the
