Rugby field and goals are the same as
In America. The players are Is on
side as in the American game previous
to the late sos. They are eight for
serum or tho maui. (the line OF The
American game). four three-auarters.
spoken of collectively as the the three
quarter line or simply line (the Amori-
serum half and stand-off half (the
American quarterback); one fullback
who at all times fulfills the functions of
the American punt catcher. the safety
man OF the side.
Possession of the ball is not definitely
the right of one side or the other except
when run is actually In progress
TINE TO ACT.
"All nine tries (the American touch
down) were gained by the two wing
three-quarters. In one case the ball
went clear out to the right wing ana
came al! the way back across 10 the
left wing who scored by lodging two
would-bc tacklers The tries were al
most all OF tho nature of the two Yale
clean bursts through the line and do6g-
ing of the back while at top speed.
Nearly all English tries are of this sort.
They must be because there Is no inter-
ference.
Briefly, 1 can only maintain that In
Rugby drop kicks are made. not from
a formation, but while a man is running
and with either foot That all out
sides must be able to kick with either
foot while running at full speed. They
must be able to kick across the held
dropping the ball into the arms or at the
feet of one of their own Side. who can
touch it only II the kicker has run
ahead and put him on-side. That all
players must be able to pick up ball
from tho ground while running even
though the field be wet and the ball
greasy. The oxford XIV this year play
ed more than half their games on wet,
more or less muddy fields. Finally. that
all men play with bare knees and no
padding and that substitutes are not al
lowed.
Americans boast that as individuals
and that as q nation they seize on an
others good thing. make the Idea their
own and improve IT. Also that thoy
never neglect an opportunity. Here Is
the thing and now is the time. Inc
rules committee. after prodiglous labor,
Lave brought forth many mole-hlll
.chsnges' in the rules. Let them now
after 20 years, rcctify their greatest and
most stupid blunder and give US back
the game we used to have before the
runner was granted his protectlon.
II sincerely hope that American loot
ball will be born again"
