and the other with the purpose to force

Individual Effort.
We have team play in base ball. All of
our American athletes can tell what 1t
is and define it, but team play in base
ball invariably depends upon the indi-
vidual and not upon the concentrated
physical effort of three or four. When
we can fully OeVlSe III IoOt udii team

the great autumn sport of the United
States will be nearer it's highest develop
ment than it ever has been in the past,
and to the mind of the 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 OF the rules
committee since the beginning OF the re-
adjustment of the game.
There has been some legislation in the
past directed against the ''piling up OF
players. but, in way, 1t was ineffective,
owing to the lax manner In which the
officials enforced the rules. 1t Is not
probable that the officials were so vio-
Iently opposed to the rules that they
tempered justice with too much mercy
for the mere satisfaction of killing the
legislation, but they have been slow 70

quarters is a concession to the speed OF

with attempts to circle the ends and
plunge through the lines for sharp
gains. Some have confused the rule in
regard to assisting the man who is
carrying the ball and imagine that it
will curtail line work.
On the contrary. the game Is ex-
actly as it always was in that respect,
except that the runner must not be

by his own teammates. Openings may
be made for him to get through the
line. Interference may be employed
to assist him In getting around the
line, but the other players must keep
their "hands off, his body. So far as
the actual fact of advancing the ball
is concerned, the runner must act
upon his own individuality.
In the early part of the season 1t is
the expectation that more running
plays will be employed by coaches
than has been customary in three or
four seasons. Seven men on the scrim-
mage line may mean a strong pri-
mary defense, but it must not be for
gotten that the attack can scatter and
still be more effective than it was in
former days. because the ball can be

Merely because the rules in foot
ball have been changed, do not sit de-
jectedly in a corner and insist that
foot ball cannot be played and no
good come out of the rules because
they revolutionize some of the theories
which have been held as to the sport.
Foot ball will be played and game
will be evolved from the present rules
which sooner or later will find its ad-
vocates and admirers as previous
changes in the fall sport have FOUND
their advocates and admirers.
The coaches and players who go TO
sleep over the new game or those
who stubbornly refuse to accept It's
changes will be hardest hit at the END
of the season, and negligence on their
mart in taking advantage OF all That
is offered to them in 1910 may set
their teams back to great disadvantage
in 1911.

carefully it would appear that the

the new code will have to deal largely

weakening it seems that it may be taken
| for granted that the attacking side would
care little for that interposed rest Of
three minutes.
The difference of three minutes for rest
might upset the effort of the first fifteen
minutes. The attack might not go right
after the intermission. Players act with
unity and tremendous amout of en-
tbusiasm, when once they get into the
swing of their play, and anything which
interrupts it is likely to counteract a
great deal of the good that they have
done. The rhythm Of their attack may
be lost entirely in the three minutes OF
rest and when they take the field again
their game may develop just enough rag
gedness to put 1t off color.
On the other hand the defending side,

Teach every player on the eleven the
cardinal principles of blocking run

systems whereby the man running
with the ball may not only be attend

learn to follow his interference. The
backs who are fleet and agile and who
can dodge well are apt to make trou-
BILE in the new game.
Unquestionably there will be a great
use of the forward pass. because it
has been almost placed on a par with
punting the ball. The forward pass
will be discussed In the next article
and something Of its value estimated.
