they are duly accredited members OF
the team.
The Rugby rules permit of only
three substitutes during an entire
game. Thus, If more han three men
are injured and removed a team Is
compelled to play out h game with
a short team"-that is, with less
than the specified number of players.
The Rugby costume, consisting Of a
light jersey (Which pride usually pre-
vented from being "upholstered'), a
pair Of short canvas running pants,
ankle-high stockings and calfskin
shoes-lald the players open to many
injuries which are guarded against
under the American rules.
The American player, If he is wise,
will wear all of the protective para
phernalia permitted. These consist OF
leather head-and-ear guards (nose,
too, If desired), shoulder and collar
bone padding, leather pads on the
elbows and knees. felt uphOlstering
at the front of the leg from hip to
knee, and "shin-guards' when neces-
sary.
The claim Of more open play
made for Rugby several years ago is
no longer j|ustihable. Uunder the new
American rules the mass play has
been almost entirely eliminated while
the forward pass" which can only
be successfully executed by q team
which is "sprcad-eagled" over tho
field. is coming to be of more and
more Importance every day.
The main fault with Rugby-out-
side Of tho fact that 1t laid the play
ers open TO more frequent and serious
injury than our game-lies in the fact
that 1t presents little or no oppOrtuni-
ty for teamwork, save in the passing
of the ball from n teammate to an
other. 1t depends largely upon the
individual backs TO make star plays
and win games.
In the American game every player,
whether a lineman or a back, has a
crack at handling the ball. Further
more, there are splendid opportunt-
ties to combine as guards, or Inter
ference" around the man carrying
the leather; or to attack in groups
when on the defensive.
Take it all in all, there seems to be
no comparison between the two
games, from the American standpoint.
The California public and players
tried hard to ike Rugby and gave 1t
loyal support while It was on trial
but everybody I have talked to seems
to welcome the American game back
again; and California, Washington
and Stanford are getting ready for
the biggest crowds they ever handled
for the big games" on the Pacific
Coast.

Neither the American public nor
the student bodies of the Jour educa-
tionaI institutions in question reacted
to Rugby. 1t was at once too rough
and too gentle a game. Its passing, in
favor of the new American i~ntercolle-
giate game. will be marked BY an al
most total lack of mourning.
Rugby, especially when played on
green turf fields, by gaily-clad ath-
letes, is a pretty game II a witty
game. 1t gives a fast, light team
or less OF an even break with
a slower, heavier outft-at least,
that was the case until the latter
learned how to smear" the little fell
lows when the referees back was
turned and weaken their offensive by
what We commonly term dirty
work"
The American c~ollegian does not
resort 10 SuCn taCllCS unuer ordinary
conditions; but the opportunities to
'lay out" an opponent were so many
and the rewards so satisfactory, under
the Rugby rules, that there was q
growing tendency toward r~oughness
during the seven years that the Eng
llsh game was played in California.
In the first place, the Rugby game
provided for fifteen men on a side
with only one official to watch them
and with authority to penalize them
for unsportsmanlike behavior. The
Observation-Disclosures rules call for
eleven men on a side and three main
oflcials-umpire referee and head
lineman-each endowed with the pen

If a man is laid out while playing
the American game a substitute can
