sport Of the United States win he nasra,
It's highest development than IL ever h..
oeen In the past, and to the mind of ths
writer the intent of the section of the
rules which has just been commented
upon is longer step In the right direction
toward bringing about such a condition
than has been taken at any conference
or the rules committee since the begin
ming Of the readiustment of the game.
There has been some legislation in the
past directed against the ''pillng up of
players, but. in way, 1t was ineffective,
owing to the lax manner in which the off,
Gals enforced the rules. 1t is not probable
that the officials were so violently opposed
to the rules that they tempered justice
with too much mercy for the mere salts
faction of killing the legislation. but they
have been slow to act on the ground that
1t might not always be possible to prevent
'piling up"
There need be no reason for delay in en-
forcing penalties this year, for the rule is
plain and mandatory, and there is no foot
ball player who is intelligent enough to
take part in the game who can plead ig-
norance where the path to knowledge is so
well lighted.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-09-24

him; then another and another, and have
seen even the fuIlback running the whole
length Of the field to throw himself On
top of all, with no more reason for doing
so than that he wanted to show that he
was In the game.
If this fooHshness can be wholly eradi-
Gated among the young players. those
who object to football tor the boys be-
tween fifteen and twenty will find that
one principal source OF danger to the boy
the ball has been eliminated.
When the boys find that 1t is against the
rules to do this, and not a part of foot
ball, desire to win will bring about a
speedy reform on their part because they
will no relish being penalized. What is
true OF the boys is also true of some col
lege players who make a great pretence
Oh being in every tackle in which several
players are involved, and it seems to
nave been very wise policy to have
Incorporated clauses in the rule which
will not only discourage the prac-
dce' but will punish it by penalty in every
way.

New Playing Time.

The division of the playing time into
quarters is concession to the speed Of
the game and borrowed from Canadian
football
1t is not an easy matter to reckon with
safety just what effect this will have on
football 1t is true that the primary mo-
tive is to afford rest for the players. Cam
adam football is so much closer to Rugby
than the American game that the sub-di-
vision of the halves is almost imperative
to give the players a moment to recuper>
ate.
Our game has not always required the
high pitch of energy that is necessary in
the Canadian game. Some Of the players
have been compelled to work at top speed
and others have not. As rule the more
important American games haye been
steady developments of a system Of play
to accomplish certain purpose.
Whether there is expected to be such
change in football this year that a rest
win be required in the middle of one OF
the halves Of game 1 am sure it is
difficult to imagine 1t would appear that
: ach might be considered to be the case.
The question as to whether this period
of rest will work to advantage in the
American game devolves greatly on what
IL made out of football in the season at
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-09-24

centre to any one of the backs. The
first coach to develop a first class centre
who is proficient in swapping back the
ball as we'll at an angle as in a straight
line, and who is equally good in holding
his own in defense, will pave the way for
system of attack which shall be as d.
verSified as there are men in the back
field, increased four fold by reason of the
changes which may be effected by alter
mating the plays.
Teach every player on the eleven the
cardinal principles of blocking runners
by the use of the body. Teach systems
whereby the man running with the ball
may not only be attended with good in
reference, but may learn to follow his
interference. The backs who are fleet and
agile and who can dodge we'll are apt to
make trouble in the new game.
unqueStionably there will be great
use of the forward pass, because It has
been almost placed on a par with punt
ing the ball. The forward pass will be
discussed in the next article and some
thing of its value estimated.

Evils To Be Overcome.

The evils which the present revision of
the rules have endeavored to overcome are
what might be called contributory causes
to injury of light or serious character. For
example, effort has been made to, do away
with the diving tackle-a dangerous and
harmful play. For young man to launch
himself headlong at running adversary
may be thrilling and heroic, but it is
fraught with grave possibilities. Players
have been seen to precipitate themselves
into an onrushing line as if they were div
ing from the ocean sand into an oncoming
breaker. In so doing they were wholly
without protection to themselves. for the
very method of their plan of defence left
them without power to care for their own
safety in mass of players in steady
motion and on their feet.
The revision of the rules this year has
also forbidden and penalized the helping of
players who are on the ground. The COM
mittee has defined as crawling" any at
tempt of the man with the ball to wriggle
ahead after fairly down. 1t was wise
legislation. A player pulled or pushed
too often is in position where muscles
are contracted or limbs so turned that
joints are likely to be misplaced and
bones broken. An effort has been made TO
bring all players to a thorough under
standing of the fact that when the ball IL
once down it is down." and the more
rigidly the officials enforce that doctrine
the less liability there will be of injury to-
the player stopped or tackled, and the
quicker the game will be rid of the de-
sire to beat the actual stopping OF the
ball with foot or two of gain by crawl
ing" over the surface of the field.
1t would appear that both of these re-
forms, which have been introduced into
the rules, are to result more efficaciously
among the younger players Of the game
than their elders

Youngsters Like to "Pile Up"

There has always been a temptation
among players in grammar and prepara-
tory schools to pile up on the man who
is down with the ball. Everybody who has
had to do with youngsters knows the i'm
pulse of the boy to throw himself into the
heap when there is general mix-up on
the ground
No better instance can be cited than the
frolics OF crowd of healthy young Amer
leans in field of newly cut grass or hay.
There may be half dozen heaps of grass
or hay on lawn or field. but II one boy in
spirit OF healthy activity pitches head
long into one of them the other boys, In
stead Of pitching into the other haycocks,
viii. nine times out Of ten, heap them
selves into q squirming mass on top OF the
one boy and into the soft pile in which he
first threw himself.
La football games among the younger
players this practice has always to be
dealt with. If player Is downed with
the ball. first one boy. who has no reason
20 become involved In the play. will jump
on the PROSTATE youth to assist In holding
