The gamz2 was not decided until the end, however, for the Centrals got a vod fighting chance when Casey’s men Joosened up in_the seventh and again in the ninth their chances of pulling out ahead looked bright for a momant. The Norwich Towns started off strong in the first, two free passes by Burdick, with a wild throw and a couple of errors, followed by Dugan’s timely hit, giving them a lead of four runs. When the Centrals camg to bat in the sevemth the score was 9 to 3 against them. Nichdls opened with a safe one and Burdick followed with a bant. There was some loose playing during which Nichols, attempt- | ing to steal home. was touched out by Ryan midway between the plate and hird. Gleason singled, bringing in Burdick. a fielder's choice. After Kane flied out to Dugan. Bill Austin was safe on Mur- rav's fumble and then Murph rolled what appearad to be an easy one down to first. It got away from Croker, hawever, and before things cleared up tiree tallies had been marked down Tn the ninth, with two men out. Mur phy brought in Austin. but the trals’ hopes werz dashed to the ground when Penney sent out a fly to George asey. There was an attendance of about 250 at the game and the league schedule opened quite auspiciously.

Football ecssentially is a game of strategy, more elastic and profound chess, only less elastic and pro- found than_the tactics of actual waf. In.the radical and revolutionary re- vision of the rules presente! for 1910 football tacticlans, players and spec- tators will find & new game. Statisticians “of the gridiron con- tend that football is no morc danger- ous than baseball and they point to the fact that the fatalities upon the diamond during three: weeks of last April equaled the record -of football last autumn for 10 weeks, while for minor injuries the record of baseball is as high as 25 to 1. Notwithstand- ing any such comparison the rules committee of football resolutely de- termined to reach and eracicate the dangers of its own game. This task®the committee has pe formed, instituting a reform the most 4 e which football yet has encouh- In this re fon the committee did mot work upon theory. It had before it precise and accurate data as to the cause of the injuries that marked the season of 1909. This data indicated as the offending features mass play, interlocking interference, flying tackles and the recovery of for- ward passes. The dangers of the flving tackle were not difficult to remove, since it was possible to remove the flying tackle itself without any effect what- ever upon any other play; as tackling is_a separate feature of the game and not connected or correlated with any other playing systems. The commit- tee simply has ruled that hereafter no player shall tackle an opponent with- out having at the time at least one foot upon the ground. It was the mass play and the forward pass that occupied the committee for seven days and a large part of the intervening nights. Princeton, with the University of Chicago, proposed as remedy for massed interference as extension of rule 17 so as to require seven men of the offensive side to stand upon the line of scrimmage and to prohibit play- ers of this side from aiding the man carrying the ball or ome another by hands, arms or body, either in pushing or pulling, thus eliminating the famil- iar spectacle of 20 years' standing of a -player being whirled through the line. After prolonged debate and consid- . ment, George H. Deneke, a check for erable experimentation this proposi- : : tion was adopted. This radical change | 100, 14 be divided equally among the means the return of that style of game |\ s FoXie Fogin: company and the which characterized the late '80s. “The | MYSE 0K 7 it M rush line will probably play a widely extended line this fall, and the man with the ball at all times will be in full view of the spectators. With the abolition of flying tackles, line plunging will be the same as end running, a quick dash through an open line. It was obvious to the committee that A g t Ostervill £ this drastic change would reduce the | ONFINVS Mass G o offensive strength of the game more | yjisg priscilla Billings at North Ston- than haif, and that it was ircumbent | g 8% P to restore in some way the equilibri- | "gyron Rijlings of East Lyme is in um of the game, which must main- | ,un for a few days with his family. tain at all times so far as the rules |"OpT 707, @ yet CGRys WItH I8 famiy are concerned, a fair struggle oetween | "ol S B JROPIASOR OF FEW the offence and the defence and whus | "nfigs Anna Collar of Elizabeth, N. J. prevent scoreless or heaviiy scoring games. This condition the committee met by removing the restriction upon the forward pass and the quarterback run, which hitherto has required each of these plays to be executed five vards distant from the centre. The effect of the second of these changes means the disappearance of the position of quarterback, since un- der the new rules any back may carry the -ball through the line at any point upon a snap direct from center. If the quarterback goes the present method of snapping the ball will go. Snapping the ball is defined under the rules as “putting the ball in play with a contin— uous motion of the hand or foot.”” Since the quarterback will be found this fail in the line or group of backs, it is cer- tain that the coaching genius of the country will devise a better way of sending the ball back from center than the present method, which has existed for 31 vears. This change means a fast, open and running game, in which the premium no longer will be placed upon players of gigantic build. - The investigation into the accidents of last fall disclosed the fact that many were due to exhaustion. This presents a condition that !s beyond rule makers to remedy, since it devoives wholly up- onl players, their captain, coach, traig- er or medical supervisor. The commit- tee, however, has aided these men in the performance of their duties by abolishing the famous “halvesy of foot- ball and substituting instead four quar- ters of minutes duration, thereby reducing the playing time of a game by 10 minutes and giving two addition- al periods of rest This is the custom of the Canadian game. In connection therewith the committee has provided that a player once removed may return once again to play. It is believed that this priv— ilege will prevent a good man from playing to exhaustion rather than leave the game to which he cannot re- turn. Nor is it new. This also was in the original Rugby game, and was not abolished until the convention of March 27, 1390. In the matter of the forward pass the committee faced a difficult problem in- decd, The injurious effects of this play in the last three vears have been two- fold. First, it has subjected the pla. ers recovering the pass to violent per- sonal collisions, and; second, by forcing the secondary,defense to play at least 10 vards behind the line of scrimmage to protect forward pass zone it has brought upon the unsupporied tackles the dangerous continuous mass plays. The specific problem before the com- mittee was to protect the men recover- ing the pass and still not disturb the very foundation of the game. You may say, as many have suggested, “Simply forbid a player to interfere with an- other while recovering the forward pass.” But this brings up the query “How can the player on the defense know that the men coming down the field are to take a forward pass?” They may intend to recover a Kick or they may be leading a running play. Thus it became obvious to the com- mittee that one rule must be found which would take into consideration all three contingencies. This has been done by prescribing that the players on defense may try to catch a ball when passed forward, and that any interfer- ence by them which is incidental to a bona-fide attempt ta get the ball shall be permissible, but that no jlayer shall be permitted to ignore the flight of the ball, and violently ‘Put his opponents out of play, as heretofore. This idea of an incidental interference obtains in the Australian game, where it has worked successfully. In order to balance up the equilibri- um of the game, and_also to prevent the long forward pass from displacing the punt, it has been found necessary to establish a 20 yard zone behind the defensive rush line, forward passes to be recovered within it, onside kicks to be recovered beyond At. These numerous changes in the of- fensive game will bring about auto- matically corresponding changes de- fensively. Thus it will probably be found that seven men are no longer necessary to maintain the defensive rush line, and that one of these men may be fransferred 10 the back fiekl.
