try has been playing soccer" now
for a few years and at their official
meeting of the intercollegiate Asso-
citation this year, they have decided
to sanction the use of substitutes.
The possible substitutes are two in
number, one a regular reserve, and
another who is to be allowed in the
game only in case of injury to any
member of the regular team.
Another excellent provision was
added that the game may be pro-
longed by periods of ten minutes in
case of tie, at the discretion of the
captains. Soccer" is growing in this
