SEASON Of 1917
NOTABLE ONE IN
FOOTBALL World
Game Has Been Improv3d
From Spectators Stand
point and Public Shows
It's Appreciation.
By W. J. Macbeth.

New York, Nov. 30.-Tocay's big bat
tie at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, be-
tween the Army and Navy. wound UP
the football campaign for 1912. The
season just closed was an exceptional
one in many ways and doubtless the
most pleasing of many years.
The success of sport depends direct
ly upon it's popularity and in this line
there was nothing to be desired. Never
in the history of the great gridiron
competition did such crowds manifest
their enthusiasm. 1t was treat just
to watch the magnitude and eXuber-
ance of the crowds that cheered on the
combatants in the Harvard Princeton
Princeton Yale, Yale Harvard, Penn
Michigan and Army Navy battles. Ir
none of these contests was there va
cant seat and every field was packed
for every battle throughout the sched-
ule. The multitude at the Yale Har.
ward game would have reached hun
dred thousand, doubtless, If the New
Haven stands could have accommo-
dated that many. The crowds as 4
rule in every game played i'm the cas-,
were limited only by the stand
capacity.
All of which is a tribute to the
genius of the rule makers. They have
saved a game which five years age
appeared certainly doomed. 1t took
a great deal of tinkering and expert
menting with the rules to, restore the
big autumn sport to it's former popu-
larity but that happy condition seems
to have been accomplished. Football
as played now seems to be safe and
sane competition in which brain power
counts even more forcibly than pure

the system adopted by the American
jumpers, and according to results, the
latter is the superior of the two.
An American jumper clears the bar
first with his legs and drags his body
over by the natural swing. This
method prevents any waste of energy,
something which foreign methods still
fail to follow.
