New York. Dec. 1.-The great
number of serious accidents and
fatalities which marred the foot
ball season of 1909 has caused
great hue and cry for reforms
in the game. OF course. the whole sub
ject is up to the rules committee, which
meets in this city this month, and al
though many opinions and suggestions
have been made toward modifying the
game In order to lessen the chances OF
accidents, there seems to be general
desire upon the part ce the experts not
TO anticipate the rule makers Walter
Camp declined to make any comment
on the question of change of football
rules except to say that undoubtedly
some action would be taken at the next
meeting of the rules committee. Inc
World In an effort to find some rem
edy. prints the opinions of many ex-
perts, as follows.
Coach Daniel A. Reed of Cornell who
had charge OF the llnemen all fall, and
who. while In the university, was star
guard. says the so-called outcry against
mass play is misleading and not to the
point He states that more injuries
have occurred since the open play was
instituted than before. While in mass
play under the old rules. ill-trained and
poor conditioned men were hurt, there
was no such chance for the sharp and
head-on collision OF bodies the new
game affords. The mass play was not
as dangerous as the open football. he
said.
Expert opinion at Ithaca seems to be
that If any changes are made at all
they might be in the forward pass pom
aItles and in making the distance great
er for four downs, That would compel
open play II that is what is wanted,
but Reed says 1t Is more dangerous
than the old style.
A. A. Stagg. Chicago university
coach: AS 1t looks to me- the ways OF
remcdying the rules may be approached
as follows.
