The catcher can run along the first or
third base line and field short kicks. In
ground kicks the ball may be passed by
as many OF the fielders as necessary.

instead of passing it. If he desires. The
Kicker" may take as many bases on

The ball must be felded to the base
made by a kicker, before the play can
continue Then the ball is passed to the
next "kicker'' and the man on base can
not leave the base he is on until the ball
has been kicked. Double plays may be
made as in baseball The man who was
on base when the second Kicker" booted

can get. In case of a fly kick he can

caught. When more than one man Is on

the team in the field has control of the
situation and the runners would be out

but must have one foot on the base when
the ball is kicked.
Five outs constitute an inning and IL
innings are played. The score is counted

One or two officials may be used, but
they must be off the playing field
Since Professor Benscoter has been
teaching in high schools he has seen
| many students receive injuries while
playing football. What he wishes to have
done away with. is the contact which
always occurs in football, when players
come together in head-on collisions. He
does not believe the football rules com.
| mittee can change football and make II
| safe for secondary school pupils. as the
personal contact is the most fundamental
| point in the game.
Another thing he is in favor Of, Il
| athletics for high school girls. H.
thinks that il the boys did a little NOR
studying and a little less athletics. and
if the girls did lite more athletics anc
less studying. the high schools would b
greatly benefited. Union football can b.
played by girls. The Wilkes-Barre girl
have played 1t and have found 1t goo,
sport and excellent exercise.
Some OF the athletic associations Of higl
schools near Wilkes Barre have alread.
| asked Professor BensCoter for direction
| for playing the new game. They ar
greatly interested in it and are giving
a try-out.
At Wilkes Barre high school the boy
have developed fast play and have re
tired from the field feeling that the
have had much exercise as footba
would give them. And nobody is injured
