The matter seemed to be one Of n
importance one way or another ~
the rugby game until one year Jack
Outland, for the Pennsylvania team
showed a wondering world just what
could be done in he way Of kicking
a ball lying rome on the ground, He
and a member of the opposing team
we're about neck and neck in pursuit
Of rolling ball nd Jack cav that
If he dove for It at that breaknecil
speed the chance of his making good
on the difficult feat of securing it was
mighty slim. Jack had the advantage
in that the ball was rolling toward
the other fellows goal and they were
running toward that goal after it.
AS they rapidly bore down on the
poor, harmless thing Outland got his
inspiration. The other chap Stacked
little to steady himself for the dive,
but not Outland; he raced on into the
ball as fast as a streak, and by so
doing got to It Just one step ahead Of
| the other fellow. That one step was
sufficient to give him time to put his
| truSty right into it's ribs, and down
the field It sailed toward the oppo-
nents' goal.
Meanwhile another opponent over
took him and now they started out
after the ball afresh. Again Outland
got there just in time to give it an
other kick and seLd it across the OPP
| position goal line, where Outland fol
! lowed after and fell on 1t before his
| opponent could recover his wits. 1t
was declared a touchdown, for IN
| those days any man behind the ball,
| including the kicker himself was on
side, and a Jack had been behind T.
| al the way down the field there w le
no disputing the fact that he was on
| sde and as eligible to make a touch
| down of the kick as anybody could
| be.
For the rest OF that season the
| Pennsylvania team practiCed the play
| = I'd with much success; but the next
| season the rules committee cut Il out
| by this special legislation. Their idea
| was that to '-rmi' promiscuous kick
| ing Of his sort was dangerous and
would result in many man getting
! kicked in the head or face as he was
| diving for the loose ball.

BY J. W. Heisnlan

q ECTION 2 Of Rule " says;
- Whenever the commencement
of a game is so late that in the
opinion of the referee there is any
likelihood of the game being inter
fered with by darkness, he shall, be
fore play begins, arbitrarily shorten
the four periods to such length as
shall insure four equil periods being
completed
This rule was adopted after the fall
of 1899. and as the result of an en-
barrassing situation that arose in the
Thanksgiving Day game in Atlanta
between Auburn and Georgia. The
game started late and ran into dark
ness Auburn was ahead and had
asked something like FIVE minutes be
fore the time would expire that the
game be called, but the referee re-
fused to call it. Within one minute
of the expiration Of the time, how
ever, he did call it, and set the score
to 90, on the ground of the game
not having been completed, when the
score at that time really stood 11-6
in favor of Auburn which team had
possession of the ball on Georgia's
FIVE yard line.
This ruling raised a perfect storm
of protest. and the Red and Black
freely conceded the game to Auburn
in spite Of the referees ruling The
whole matter came to the attention Of
the Rules Committee, and II was for
the first time recognized that there
should be something in the rules re
gardng this matter OF darkness in
terfering with the conclusion Of a
game. The rule above cited was the
result.
THIS however, is a very lame and
insufficient arrangement in the
case Of a late beginning to a game :
| for what referee or person on earth
! could possibly fOresee Just how much
| time will be taken out by the two
| teams in a game, how many players
will become injured, and how often
| And If lie cannot fOresee these
| things, how can he possibly tell
ahead Of the game, whether it ought
| to be shortened. and HOW MUCH TO
/ shorten it in order to ENSURE the com
pletion of four EQUAL periods?"
In my opinion il would be much
| better to leave the whole thing TO the
! discretion of the referee, and let him
arbitrarily shorten the remaining
| time when he sees that it is getting
! too dark to play longer with acCura
cy. He could give both teams warn
| ing that on account If the darkness
! he would permit but so many more
minutes of play at the conclusion of
NMch time he would call the game
regardless. This was actually done
