FOOTBALL CODE
IS INCOMPLETE
Former Star Says Value Of
Touchdown is not Great
Enough.
(By Bert Barry. Former Syracuse
Football Starr

Football Starr
Are the new football rules a sue
cess?
Have they accomplished the pur-
poses 1t was thought they would when
the rules committee adopted them last
winter?
With but a week of the football sea-
son OF l9l: remaining and most Of the
moro important games disposed of, we
are again asked If the expectations Of
the public have been fulfilled.
Last years code was severely criti-
cised by the general public as we'll as
by meany coaches because Of the weak
offense afforded teams. It was nearly
impossible for evenly matched teams
to cross each others goal line. ana to
the average fan. as we'll as to most Of
the players. the touchdown has ever
been the favorite method Of scoring.
Wishing to encourage this play. the
rules committee added Its increased
scoring value until it equalled two field
goals. thereby adding to the attrac-
tiveness of the touchdown.
To be sur a field goal from the
54-yard line Is spectacular. but 1t only
calls for individual praise. while the
struggle at the goal line in which the
back, Is the result Of the combined
efforts of each team and brings fame
to the entire eleven and more salts

Apparently the rules committee
have failed in their purpose. We need
only to refer to the Princeton Yale.

luck.
The same condition has prevailed
o m many gridirons in the middle west
and the Boulder-Utah contest can be
taken rs a fair example Of the same
situation.
Evenly matched teams with power
full attacks have thus far been little
better able to produce what the stands
call fora touchdown"-this year
than they We're last. and in my judg-
ment. the rules committee still has
work ahead OF it when it meets In its
annual winter session. If 1t lie to pro.

ers was Piggy Page. now In the South

1t vas Wilson Matthews who engi-
necred the deal that placed Raymond
In the National league. Matty told
Raymond nothing about it until an
hour before train time. After break
ing the news he helped the pitcher get
his belongings together. There was
quite a scene at the parting, one that
Matthews says he will never forget.
Here is the way Matty described It:
Bugs had everything packed up
and we were riding in a cab to the
depot when he suddenly clutched his
watch pocket. He pulled out a dol
lar watch and removed from 1t the
fob. He rendered 1t to me with the
following words: 'Matty. I certainly
appreciate all that you have done for
me. I haven't much to give you 9TH
err than this piece Of jewellery. but
please accept this and wear 1t al
ways
after the train had whirled Bugs
out OF sight. I looked at the fob. 1t
was an advertising souvenir from a
Jacksonville liquor shop. worth ahou,
q nickel a thousand. 1t was nothing
but a piece Of greasy leather With q
chunk Of brass at the end. Bugs gave
1t to me in all sincerity. however. and
I have the thing yet"

yond a few simple rules which are
good for every one. He has to use
judgment and At his system to the
needs OF the Individual. System is a
athletic training, but common sense
is a still greater thing. and where
system crowds out common sense 1t
is time to call a halt.
Every trainer has his own ideas of
what is the best diet for his men. In
most cases his ideas are the result of
his w experienced based upon what
suits. Trainers opinions differ like
the opinions Of people Of n other
profession. Personally. l have never
favored vegetarianism. Some people
consider that this is the best course
to pursue in athletic training. but I
do not think so. l have never found
it so in my experience.
1t is r that there are some ath-
letes who arc known vegetarians and
who are successful in their profess
sion. But where there is one such
athlete there are easily a hundred who
cat meat more or less. I do not think
that n special kind of diet is re-
quired to bring a man into the best
possible shape. 1t is probably true
on n kind of reasonable diet. He
has to use brains. Of course. and take
the right kind Of exercise. So far as
! am concerned. the more meat foot
ball players eat within reasonable linn
its. the better I like 1t. have my
fads the same as every one else.
I always the men to eat
ice cream. I think 1t is very bene-
fetal to them. and for the same rea-
son 1 discourage the drinking Of al
coholic liquor. 1 will not allow the
players under my charge at West
Point to drink coffee. Coffee is o so
injurious as liquor. but It is along the
same order. 1t affects the nerves. and
football players have to keep cool un-
der difficult circumstances.
A trainer sometimes has trouble in
enforcing his commands. I can say
one thing in favor Of West Point.
Football players give the strictest
obedience to orders. The army dis
cipline permits Of no infractions. and
the men who are trained In its hard
course are always easy for the trainer
to handle.
men. no matter how foolish 1t seems
to them. they go right ahead and do
without any questions asked. They
never think of complaining or argu-
ing. but take my orders literally just
as they would obey the order Of a su-
perior officer.
People talk a good deal about the
Harvard-Ya game. 1t is a big game.
there is no doubt about that. but I
do not think it the equal Of our own
annual game with Annapolis. More
people urn out to see the Harvard
Yale game. and they take in more
money at the gate. but there is no
crowd at any athletic contest in the
whole year like hat which gathers at
the West Point Annapolis football
game.
The president and vice president Of
the United States. all prominen cab
tives and all high officials of the gov
eminent. with all the leading officers
in the army and navy. make a crowd
which cannot he equaled, in my opin-
ion. at any other game.

Football and Baseball
Trainer Tells What He
Does With His PLAYERS
(By Harry Tuthill. trainer at West
Point and Of the New York Giants.)

(By Harry Tuthill. trainer at West
Point and of the New York Giants.)
In talking about football. most peo-
pie think only Of the players on the
two teams. or. II no that. at least Of
the coach. The players do the work,
and whatever mention comes their
way is deserved. 1t is right that they
should be written up in the papers.
and that people should be interested in
them. It is also fair that the coach
should be appreciated. for most of
his hard work does not show up very
prominently.
The coach Is a very important man,
and 1t is not too much to say that a
good coach makes a winning team out
Of a failure and that a poor coach
would fail with q winning team. 1 am
not criticising the attention which has
been given to players or coaches. for.
as I have said. they deserve all they
get in the line Of the public's appre-
citation. But there is one man on
every important football team whom
few people know much about. and
that man is the trainer.
The work Of a trainer during the
season is rather important and occu-
pies his time fully. His work goes
hand in hand with that of a head
coach, but does not conflict in any way
with the duties of that official. The
coach is interested only in teaching
the men how to play the game and di-
He takes such material as the fielder
gives him and from this material
builds up the team. The trainer. on
the other hand. is not concerned In
the least over what football knowledge
the men may have. Often he does not
know much about football himself.
and l am free to confess I do not.
The trainers whole work is con-
fined to the physical condition of the
men toward getting them into proper
shape for the strenuous and some
times dangerous combats on the grid
iron. He decides absolutely whether
or not a player is In At condition to
take part in any given contest. He is
responsible for the condition Of every
man in the squad. and sees that they
keep in proper training during the
football
In order to do this he has to pre-.
scribe even the diet of the football
squad. He also has to supervise their
personal conduct to q considerable eX.
tent during the season.
In my own experience I have lever
given too much importance to the
theories Of diet. Nowadays it is a
common thing to see a great deal in
print about courses of eating and
drinking and exercise. There are
many people who think they can de.
termine by a set rule just what is the
best u for a person to follow. !
do not believe It can be done. at least
mot to any considerable extent. There
are some things which every one
ought to do. and some things which
every one ought not to do.
1t is impossible to work out a sys.
tenn which shall apply to every per
son in every particular. for no two
people are alike. Fol that reason.
