CAMP TELLS HOW
HE LIKES RUGBY
Game a Satisfactory Substitute
for Old Football, Says
Eastern Expert
ISnsci,L Diseateh 70 The Call


BERKELEY. Nov. 17.-walter Camp
the famous Yale coach. who visited the
Pacific coest last month and was an
interested spectator at some of the
Rugby games played at the University
OF California and at Stanford, has given
his impression OF the Rugby games In
an article in the Yale News, the stu
dent daily at Yale university.
Mr.. Camp spoke as follows:
The Rugby game has been played
there for three or four years now and
seems to fiji the place Of the American
game very satisfactorily. It Is claimed
that Rugby draws just as large. II not
larger crowds than American foot
ball: but whether it would do so mere
i'm the east is a question. The game,
as Il is now played on the coast, is
not strictly intercollegiate one OF
the games which ! saw was between
the University Of California and the
Barbarians Of san Francisco, which is
an athletic club. corresponding to the
old OIympics who used to play Stan
ford and California
There are some very good football
men out there and the individual work
Is excellent, especially IN handling the
ball and in kicking. The idea of team
work, as that term IS understood here
IS IN its infancy. Very few formations
are used and most OF the gaining is by
brilliant individual play. Possession
Of the ball IS not nearly as valuable
as IN the American game, so that pass
ing has reached q high state Of de-
velopment. There still seems TO be q
chance OF injuries as in other football,
because men drop on the ball when
others are trying TO kick It, but large
squads turn out ana are willing to
take the risk.
Leland Stanford and the University
OF California are the only two uni
versities which play Rugby. but many
OF the preparatory schools have also
adopted the game. Athletic club teams
have been formed in san Francisco by
old English or Scotch players, and II
IS with these teams that the universi-
ties I'll out their schedules. The game
IS open and furnishes many changes,
but whether II viii supplant the Amer
ican game IN other localities has yet TO
be decided.
Several teams in California still
play the American game, while in the
northwest they are wildly excited over
It, and they succeed in turning out
some excellent teams"
