FOOTBALL RULES HAVE
JUSTIFIED THEMSELVES"

NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. IS
Discussing the results of the football
season, Walter Camp in The Yale News
today said:
THE rules Of 1912 have produced a
game that gives every opportunity for
developing an all-around attack, at the
same time promising positive relations
in the shape of scores for that attack.
In advocating the change in the
rules, the idea expressed was if team
be better than another let the rules so
stand as to show this on the field ami
on the score board.
THE rules have justified themselves
in this respect and have produced a
game that pleases the public, the play
ers and so far as may be those who
formerly criticised, for it gives an hour
OF exciting, strenuous play, with plenty
Of chances for exhibitions of individual
skill and team work OF a high order,
and finally thus far the casualties have
been les than for some seasons"

bout was only q four-roun affair,
and was arranged in order to test
the Michigan Wildcats" strength.
No decision was given, but the
majority of the critics at the ring
side stated that Richie had the
better Of the mixing, He kept after
his opponent from the tap of the
gong and gave him a terrific beat
ing.
That was seven months ago when
Ad was just regaining his strength
after being operated upon. The
distance Of the bout was also four
rounds. Richie is a product of the
four-round route, while Wolgast
has always done his best work in
twenty contests.
If Wolgast is at his best. he
should defeat Ritchie today. He
will have to be at his best, how
ever, as the latter is one of the
classiest FOUNDERS in the land
and is just chock-full of grit and
ambition, two essential qualifca-
tons for ring success.
The Mandot- Rivers bout should
also be a stirring affair. When
these men last met Mandot won.
but Rivers is confident that he will
reverse the tables this time.

Brickley played a wonderful game
and was directly responsible for
fourteen of the twenty points
scored. His drop kicking was the
best ever seen in a Yale Harvard
game and his general headworN on
the defense and GOODNESS stamp him
as being a great football player.
He ran well with the ball, hitting
the line with great DRIVES, ana
showing some great form in end
running. In fact, the playing of
the whole Harvard backtield often
sively and defensiyely could hardly
be improYed
