New Rules Providing (nen) ; Play Ars Not Depended On by Coaches Tfis Fall. LAYING the first hard games of the season In midsummer hea: not suit the coaches nor the players of the big college elevens any too well, Dut at that a number of surprises cropped owt. Possibly the biggest surprise is the fact that the new open game Is nut pan- ning out as expected. The open play that was expected to be a joy to the spectator and to make the game as easy | for the player as croquet or parlor iawn tennis, has fallen by the wayside. Fallen mighty hard, too, if reports from everywhere can be believed. There is possibly one reason for this. That ts this: It ts a well-known fact that a tackle in the open fleld 1s nine out of ten times more dangerous to a ru than a tackle in a closed play forward pass and short on-side ki must, by the play itself, leave the run- ner—the man who catches the bal: protected for a moment, T! that smashing, low, diving tackle— dangerous kind—that brings down on his head and sb Ir quently it comes from behi d. often from one ide or the other, and he topples over, with the opposing players piling in on him from every side, muci us they did in the days of the old ma plays. The runner not only gets hard tackle and fall, but then has the opposing players ready to jh in on| top of him. ‘That is why the new foot being used this year to any tent.

Another reason is that the Bulldog ts a very cagey institution. | When the Blue warriors went to battle with the Army they saw the familiar | faces of Capt. Eddie Dillon, of Prince- | ton, and Coach Roper, and the features of a few other well-known enemies of Yale in the crowd. These experts were up | there to see what Yale had to offer in |the way of new fall styles, They saw [nothing more than any of you might | have seen ten years ago, before the for- ward pass and the onside kick was ever heard of. | yale played straight old-fashioned | cootball, and managed to score the only touchdown that was desired in that anner. The Army played as if they didn't dare attempt to score. The cadets were perfectly satisfied to boot the game safe. They were fighting for a no-score game. In the first half Yale didn’t dare try to buck the army line, because the ball was in the blue territory most of the time, and a fumble might have proved fatal. Army Commenced to Wake Up. In the second half the commissioners |from the other college began to see things. of the strongest lines that Oid Eli has ever turned out. They saw that Coy was a good kicker, but not always ac- curate. They saw that Biddle, the cen- tre rush, Was & very bad passer. He caused Coy to bungie up a kick on sev- occasions because he passed the high above the fullback’s heas that the Bulldog was en- the same old grit, and that when the chance was offered for touchdown the backs were strong enough to carry it through.
