The Washington times., 1920-12-09

Washington should be interested in
'Cahilrs plans, for the climate here
is ideal for soccer. With the closing
OF the collegiate football season. Soc
Ger might attract fans for most OF
the winter. Some games might be
bothered, even postponed, because of
rain, but Washington has little snow
and ice, and should be able to enjoy
this fine game long after the more
Northern cities are snowbound.
Clark c. Griffith, offered his ball
park to Georgetown largely that
r. Washington football fans might be-
come accustomed to seeing football
there. His wisdom was shown this
season and the big crowd at the Rex
Navy Yard game indicates the trend
of things. Give the fans convenient
location, any sort of an attraction,
and they will do the rest.
a.. . coon FOR SCHOOLS.
soccer football should be fostered
by Washington's schools. Take any
of Washington's high schoois-say,
Central. At the most less than fifty
boys are engaged in playing repre-
sentative football, mere handful
when compared with the enrolment
at. the school on the hill.
eff soccer football were introduced
at Central High School, fully a dozen
teams could be made up, fostering
school spirit far better than does the
present system of putting a handful
Of lads IN uniform and making cheer
ing sections out of the others. Sit
ding in a cheering section may pro-
vide a lot of fresh air, but running
and jumping and falling out on the
field would do the lads a lot more
good. Few cake-eaters like athletics.
but they all look alike in a cheering
section.
Soccer lacks the contact found in
our American football. Personally.
we'd rather see one YaJe-Princeton
football game than an entire season
of major league baseball. We like
the contact game. But 1t is a fact
that, only the best equipped from a
physical standpoint can engage with
safety in, our style Of football. Soc
Ger =, makes no such demand.
If a boy has two legs, two arms
and n fair sort of heart. he may play
all the soccer he Wishes. with only
good to himself. He may be a star
even though he be a midget. Some
of the best players are the smallest.
just as in baseball. Indeed, one rea-'
son why baseball is so generally
played is that the little fellow has
an equal chance with the big one.
knowledge OF the game will make
for interest in it. Interest in 1t will
make for success Of the proposed
soccer league. The Introduction of
soccer as an organized fall and win
ter sport in this country deserves
more than passing notice, and once
Cahill gets busy. it will get it.
