GIFT PLAY
REMOVED BY
SAFETY RULE
Change Considered BY New
ers as Most Important
One Made IN New Rules
~ ERNIE MEYERS
An. AAa p2Aa~ Hm1ohnek. 1o2S

Copyright, 1925, NEA Service. Inc. ;
The "take.a-chancc" style Of play
is far more interesting in football
than "safety.first" methods.
That Is one reason why ! am glad
fthe new rule relative to the forward
pass will not. in my opinion. curb that
II would have been a mistake,
think, had the 'rule-makcrs worked
out some provision that would have
curtailed the use Of footballs mos
thrilling play.
On the other hand, feel that ths
rule which now governs the making
Of safety is . distinct improvement,
over the old provision.
The reason: It will do away with
some Of the "ssfety.first" method,
that marred several big games last
year.
I have in mind the 'gift safety" .
play often resortcd to last year as q
timc-killcr and, incidentally, to kcer
the opposition from getting the ball
thereby preventing it from starting
an offensive.
Dfsliked Plays
The intentional pass is one of tht
most disliked plays in baseball. 1t il
jecrcd every time 1t is put on.
The gift safety In football has been
in as much disfavor as the inten.
tional pass in baseball. However,
feel that the new wording Of the rule
relative to a safety has removed the
value Of such . play - time-killcr
Well do ! recall game Of last fall
between two leading Teams in the
west: Going into the final quarter
one of the teams enjoyed 10 lead
The team that was trailing then start
cd an offensive that carried the ball
something like 50 yards, only to lose
it on tumble.
The eleven out In front, realizing
it was being badly outplayed and
there was q. chance the opposition
might 20 over for touchdown at any
time. resorted to the gift safety to
offset the rival teams last ditch
stand.
Getting possession Of the ball the
team in the lead made three inten-
tional safctics. Under the rules Of
last year after the making of safety,
the team SO doing retained possession
Of the ball and put il in play from the
20-yard line.
Not Smart Football
In this manner the team that was
ahead retained possession Of the ball
and used up the few minutes remain
ing to play. Since the three safcties
meant only six points, the game was
rs.
No doubt there are some who will
call this smart football. Most foot
ball fans will. am sure, take the or
positc view. II hasn't . virtue to
commend It with the exception Of the
nrotectior it offers the lead gained
by one Of the teams.
