How Foot Ball Is PLAYED
BY SOL METZGER-

We do not know the weights of the
various Notre Dame linemen, but none
Of them is light, in the sense of foot
ball. Weight is not the factor in the
game today that it used to be. Speed
is the element that makes a team.
Dobie told us some years ago that
the best tackle he had at Washington,
when he went seven seasons without
defeat, weighed 100 pounds. Harold
CASTOR, Penns line cotch, played
tackle on a championship Quaker
team when he weighed 1853 pounds,
but Castor was fast, as was Dobie's
best tackle.
Speed In foot ball is not the ability
to run hundred yards in fast time.
but the ability to start quickly. If
you can start before your opponent
you can spot him twenty pounds and
outplay him. Speed in the line is
speed of this kind. In the backf1eld
speed is a combination of fast start
ing and fast running. Backs who are
slow to start cannot make ground,
even If fast runners, and backs who
can get off we'll, but lack speed in
running. cannot gain the ground
that would otherwise be possible IL
they could maintain a high speed.
Speed on defense in line play is

NO. 1.-THE RULES OF BASE BALL.

nifcant periods in the making Of
. rules was in 1874, when the called
ball helped to shorten the game
often of interminable length.
And the called-ball rule sent the
umpire closer to the catcher,
where he could easily detect
good ball from bad one.
Each rule in base ball has its
history, has served to tighten the
game as bolts and nuts tighten a
steel structure. Every fan knows.
these rules almost as we'll as the
umpire, and recently an umpire
has said that when he is faced
with knotty problem, a hairline
decision, he would like to refer
it to the grandstand, relying on
their fair judgment.
Here are the first rules of base
ball: ri
Section 1.-The bases shall be
from "home" to second base
forty-two PAGES; from first to
third base forty-two, PAGES

Section 1.-The game to consist
of twenty-one counts or aces,
but at the conclusion an equal
number of hands must be
played.
Section 3-The ball must be
pitched and not thrown for the
bat.
Section A ball knocked out
side the range of the first or
third base is foul.

struck at and missed, and the

BRITONS ARE EXPECTED
HERE FOR GOLF MATCH

NEW YORK, November 23.-Return-

States Golf Association, said tt ap-
peared probable to him during his
stay there that enough money would
be raised by English amateur golfers
to enable a team to come here next
year to contest for the Walker cup.
1t had been reported that insufficient
funds would prevent the English
from taking their turn in invading
this country next year. American
amateurs went there last year.

1t would take stately sized
book to describe the evolution of
the rules of base ball. Each year
since the beginning of the game
fine points have developed which
have called for their own special
consideration. But, as Will Irwin
has pointed out, the Magma
Charta OF base ball was the four
teen points formulated by the
Khickerbocker Club of New
York in 1845.
They were not the generally
authorized rules, for every 10
cality had its own variations, and
it was this variety which led to
confusion when teams of differ
ent sections met and couldn't
agree on the strict Interpretation
OF those rules. 1t was, therefore,
necessary to adopt some sort of
an authorized government of the
game; the first official code was
published in May, 1858.
Says Chadwick: 1T was a very
crude set of regulations, and ad-
mitted only OF the playing of a
very inferior kind of game, but it
was sufficient for the character OF
the sport then in vogue, which
was simply enjoyable field exer-
else on a ball ground"
, The weight OF the ball, the
length of the bat, the pitchers
position were defined, but the
science of the game had not
raised its head as yet. Up to
1904 any ball caught on the
bound was considered out"
Then. a rule did away with that.
