INTERFERENCE MISSING.

Lack of interference was a notable
drawback to the football season just
closed. No eleven in the city displayed
anything approaching success at this
department OF the game. And even
the machines that did threaten to EN-
ploy it, went about the job in peculiar
manner.
Not all Of this can be. blamed upon
the coaches, for extracting blood from

MEANT TO PROTECT

Interference is developed to establish
protection for the man with the ball.
Successful interference is of the rolling
type, wherein the tackler is bowled
upon his dome and thereby sidetracked
for the moment. Unless he is knocked

least to dump the Understanding the

In the games this year there was
