ly nobody else. For the last two
years she has been souudly wal
loped by Harvard at football. and
Colgate, Maine and Washington and
jefferson have also made life any
thing but a bed of roses for the dark
blue. In the intercollegiate basket
ball league she has not flushed
higher than third in the last seven
years, and last season she finished
sixth in the intercollegiate field and
track meet.
Now, Yale used to be supreme on
the football field, on the water and
on the track And previous to
l906-07 she had also won three
championships in basketball. This
year she is falling down again in
basketball as well as in football

New Game
Void of
Roughness.


They may not run with it as in foot
ball, nor is there n scrimmage line
up. neither is interference permit
ted, nor tackling below the waist.
Thus rough play seldom enters into
the game, and there is lite chance
of any one getting hurt, all of which
adds to the enjoyment of the game,
and keeps the men at It, at the same
time giving them legs and lungs.
The only scoring in the game IS
by drop kick over the goal and be
tween the posts, or by a forward
pass through the hoops This makes
for the development Of drop kickers
in football and also fosters accuracy
in making forward passes. As II is
not permitted TO kick the ball when
lying on the ground (the same as is
the rule in footbalO everybody play
ing must learn how to snatch Il up
quickly and punt OF course either
a punt drop kick or forward pass
may be intercepted IL possible. and
a player with the bah in his posses
sion may be seized and held above
the waist, or the BAN may be
blocked
II is plain to be seen that there is
a lot of running, kicking passing
blocking gooduatured scuftling and
scoring in the game. II should prove
OF immense help in keeping the foot.

ting some good work out Of many OF
the boys The sport Is designed to
afford recreation for. and be physi-
cally beneficial to, the large mum
Der who play neither basketball nor
baseball Thus far some 40 or more
men have gone into the game, and
their testimony IS that It IS not only
highly exciting, but most enjoyable
as well A little later on quite n
number OF these men win go IN for
track and field sports and in the
meantime this game Is putting them
In splendid preliminary shape for
just such work
The game itself is played out of
doors upon field 200 feet long by
100 feet wide.s It has the usual
football goal posts erected at either
end. and, in addition. a hoop about
three feet in diameter is suspended
from the middle of each cross bar.
SO that the lower edge of each hoop
is about seven feet from the ground
AS many men as please may play at
one time, though the number Is. of
course. equally divided between the
two sides. In this respect the game
slightly resembles the old-time class
rushes; but in other respects It ap-
pears to be compromise between
