The DID, Timers Slant at Football

fCo~ti..sd from page tAree)
midnight, in October of 1900, the
Carolina team boarded a day
coach out At the station now
known rs Carrboro. There were
20 men altogether, besides the
coach and manager, and they
were booked to play Tuesday
and Thursday in Tennessee and
Saturday in Georgia. A Pull
man hadn't been considered; We
thought we were reveling in
luxury to have a chartered day.
coach that we could stay in all
the way to Knoxville We
sprawled over the seats and
slept as best we could.
On that trip Carolina met
Tennessee in Knoxville Tuesday,
Vanderbilt in Nashville Thurs
day. and Sewanee in Atlanta
Saturday, winning the first two
games and tying the third 1t
did not occur to US that three
games in five days was any
thing to complain about. Such
trips were the custom. Football
was rougher in those days, too,
than it is today, as is evidenced
by the record of injuries and
fatalities. There were more
mass plays-"guards back" and
tackles back" formations, with
q whole team concentrating upon
one place in the line. Then there
was no ban on pushing and SHOW
ing-the referee did not blow
his whistle as soon as the ball
was halted. The opposing teams
pushed and showed for all they
were worth, and sometimes you
would see both teams, clinging
together as a single mass, NOV
ing slowly in one direction or
the other according to which
team exerted the greater force.
Only when the man with the ball
was brought to the ground, or
when there was an obvious dead
lock, would the whistle blow.
There was more brute force,
less fnesse, than there is today.
There was no such thing as for
ward passing-the rules permit
ted passing only toward the rear.
Thus the lighter team had less
chance; and, generally speaking,
the defense was stronger in re-
lation to the offense than it is
now. There were five yards to
20 in three downs instead Of ten
yards in four downs Yet there
are some plays now that have
much the same look as the old
plays. For example, the conven-
tionaJ end run, with the ball
toter preceded by his inter
ference, is familiar to the old
timer; but in those days the de-
fense did not have to keep men
standing back to look out for
passes-only the quarter back
stood far back of the line.
Of course the training meth
ods-the care of the mems ply
sique, and the conservation OF
their energies-have been vastly
improved: and, all in all, be-
lieve that a football team Of to-

day is a machine far superior to
a team Of corresponding rank
thirty years ago. Which is
reasonable enough-the present
day team embodies accumulated
knowledge and experience. Even
if forward passing and other in
novations were ruled out, l have
little doubt that any colleges
average team between 1925 and
1880 would wipe up the ground
with that same colleges average
team between 1895 and 1900.
A friend of mine, a Virginia
alumnus, was telling me last
year that the Washington and
Lee game seemed to be stirring
more interest among the Vir-
ginia students than the Carolina
game; and in the same way, here
in Chapel Hill the Duke game
seems to be taking on a greater,
importance than the Virginia
game. When you think about it,
this is natural. In this state,
Carolina and Duke students are
living in the same cities and
towns, mingling with one an
other all the time, talking with
each other and the neighbors
about the athletic competition of
the two institutions. This tends
to keep the rivalry always alive.
And in Virginia the same fire.
quent contacts between the Uni
versity of Virginia and the
Washington and Lee students
produce the same situation.
When Johnny Smith of Carolina
goes home on his Christmas va
cation and meets Tommy Jones
of Duke on Main Street, John
ny is much more interested
in how the Duke-Carolina game
turned out than in how the
Carolina-Virginia game turned
out. Johnny probably does not
see a Virginia student from one
end Of the year to the other
Virginia is a long way off but
Tommy Jones of Duke is around
all the time, and Johnny has no
relish at all for the idea of Tom
my's "crowing over" him.
+ In this connection, append a
paragraph from Robert Quillen's
Fountain Inn Is. CO. Tribune:
Zone of the South Carolina
newspapers, observing that
crowds are larger when two
home teams play than when a
famous eleven from outside the
state appears to lock horns with
a home eleven, interprets the
fact as an evidence of love for
our own people. 1t is bad psy-
chology. A row between rela-
tives is always the worst kind of
row. A game with an outside
team attracts few roOters be-
cause nobody hates the outsiders.
Crowds attend a game between
two home teams because they are
partisans. They fight in the
stands and drink corn and howl
for blood and have grand time
because they are taking part in
family fight"
