AN INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER FOR BEGINNERS.

It may seem encroaching on space that might be otherwise better filled, to devote the introductory chap- ter this year to some of those points which have been stumbling-blocks to men entering upon a foot-ball career. But it has been suggested that there are so many newly lormed teams and inexperienced players that a few woras o? explanation upon gRch points would be of interest and value, and old players will therefore pardon what may appear trite in the next few pages.

A beginner in foot-ball should do two things. He should read the rules and he should, if possible, watch the practice. If the latter be impossible he and his mates must, after having read the rules, start in and, with eleven men on a side, play according to their own interpretation of these rules. When differences of opinion arise as to the meaning of any rule, a letter addressed to some one of the players upon prominent teams will almost always elicit a ready and satisfactory answer.

The first thing to be done in starting the practice, is to provide regarding the accessories of the game, which in foot-ball are of the simplest kind. The field should be marked out with ordinary lime-lines, enclosing a space 330 feet long and 160 feet wide. While not absolutely necessary, it is customary to mark the field also wi*h

4 INTRODUCTION".

transverse lines every five yards, for the benefit of the referee in determining how far the ball is advanced at every down. In the uiiddle of the lines forming the ends of the field, the goal-posts are erected, and should be 18 feet 6 inches apart, with a cross-bar 10 feet from the ground. The posts should project several feet above the cross-bar. The ball used is an oval leather cover containing a rubber inner, which is inflated by means of a small air pump or the lungs. The regula- tion ball is the Intercollegiate Match Number J., adopted by the Intercollegiate Association, and made by A. G. Spalding & Bros. The costumes of the play- ers form another very important feature, and should be of a proper and serviceable nature. With the exception of one or two players, who will be later mentioned, every man should wear a canvas jacket. This can be home-made, or purchased at a small expense from any athletic outfitter. It should fit closely but not too tightly, and lace up in front so that it may be drawn quite snugly. Some have elastic pieces set in at the sides, back or arms, but these additions are by no means necessary. The trousers should be of some stout material, fustian for example, and well padded. This padding can be done by any seamstress ; quilting in soft material over the knees and thighs or, the regular athletic outfitters farnish trousers provided with the padding. Long woolen stockings are worn, and occasionally, but not usually, shin guards by men playing in the forward line. The most important feature of the entire uniform is the shoe. This may be the ordinary canvas and leather base-ball shoe with leather cross-pieces nailed across the sole to prevent slipping. This is the most inexpensive form, but the best shoes are made entirely of leather, kangaroo skin preferably fitting the foot firmly, yet comfortably, lacing well up on the ankle and the soles, provided with a small leather spike which can be renewed when worn down.

INTRODUCTION. 5

Inside this shoe and either attached to the bottomof it, or not, as preferred, a thin leather anklet laces tightly over the foot, and is an almost sure preventive of sprained ankles. The cap may be of almost any variety, and except in the cases of half-backs and back, does not play any very important part. These men should, however, have caps with visors to protect their eyes from the sun when catching a long kick.

Underneath the canvas jackets any woolen under- wear can be put on, most players wearing knit jerseys. As mentioned above, there are two or three players who can, to advantage, go without the regula- tion canvas jackt t and wear a jersey in its place. These are, first, the quarter-back, and sometimes the centre- rush or snap-back, and finally, the full-back, if he be a kicking full-back only, that is, one who does not attempt to do any running.

The team of eleven men is usually divided into seven rushers or forwards, who stand in a line facing their seven opponents ; a quarter-back, who stands just behind this line ; two half-backs, a few yards behind the quarter-back ; and finally, a full-back or goal-tend, who stands a dozen yards or so behind the half-backs. This gives the general formation but is, of course, dependent upon the plays to be executed.

Before commencing practice, a man should be chosen to act as both referee and umpire, for in practice games it is hardly necessary to have two officials. The two sides then toss up, and the one winning the toss has choice of goal or kick-off. If there be a wind, he will naturally and wisely take the goal from which that wind is blowing and allow his opponents to have the ball. If there be no advantage in the goals he will choose the kick-off, and his opponents in that case take whichever goal they like. The two teams then line up ; the holders of the ball placing it upon the exact centre of the field, and the opponents being obliged to stand

6 INTRODUCTION.

back in their own territory at least ten yards, until the ball has been touched with the foot. There are now several methods of starting the play. Primarily, how- ever, the ball must be hit by the foot of the man mak- ing the kick-off. He may kick the ball as far as he can down the field, or he may merely touch it with his foot and then pick it up and pass it, run with it, or even punt it himself. The method most commonly practiced now is for him to touch it with his foot and then pass it to some runner of his own side behind him, while the other forwards mass in the form of a wedge in front of this runner, and the entire body of men, with the run- ner well protected in the midst, then plunges ahead as far as possible into the ranks of the opponents. This play is called the V or wedge, and is affected by almost every team, although the methods may differ slightly. As soon as the ball is touched by the foot, the opposing side may charge, and the rushers, therefore, spring at this wedge-shaped mass of players, and get at the run- ner as speedily as possible, bringing him to a standstill. As soon as the ball is fairly held, that is, both player and ball brought to a staiidstill, the runner must cry " down " and some one upon his side, usually the man called the snap-back or centre-rusher, must place the ball on the ground at that spot for a " scrimmage," as it is termed. The ball is then put in play again ( while the men of each team keep on their own side of the ball, under penalty of a foul, for off-side play ) by the snap- back's kicking the ball or snapping it back, either with his foot, or more commonly with his hand, to a player of his own side just behind him, who is called the quarter-back. The ball is in play, and both sides may press forward as soon as the ball is put in motion by the snap-back. Naturally, however, as the quarter-back usually passes it still farther behind him to a half-back, or back, to kick or run with, it is the opposing side which are most anxious to push forward, while the side

having the ball endeavor by all lawful means to retard that advance until their runner or kicker has had time to execute his play. It is this antagonism of desire on the part of both sides that has given rise to the spe- cial legislation regarding the use of the hands, body and arms of the contestants—and beginners must carefully note the distinction. As soon as the snap-back has sent the ball behind him, he has really placed all the men in his own line off-side, that is, between the ball and the opponent's goal, and they, therefore, can theor- etically only occupy the positions in which they stand, while the opponents have the legal right to run past them as quickly as possible. For this reason, and bear- ing in mind that the men " on-side " have the best claim to right of way, it has been enacted that the side hav- ing possession of the ball may not use their hands or arms, but only their bodies when thus off-side, to obstruct or Interrupt their adversaries, while the side running through in the endeavor to stop the runner, or secure possession of the ball, may use their hands and arms to make passage for themselves.

The game thus procuresses in a series of downs followed by runs or kicks, as the case may be, the only limita- tion being that of a rule designed to prevent one side continually keeping possession of the ball without material advance or retreat, which would be manifestly unfair to the opponents. This rule provides that in three "downs" or attempts to advance the ball, a side not having made five yards toward the opponent's goal or retreated twenty yards toward their own goal, must surrender possession. As a matter of fact, it is seldom that a team actually surrenders the ball in this way, because after two attempts, if the prospects of completing the five-yard gain appear small, it is so manifestly politic to kick the ball as far as possible down the field, that such a method is more likely to be adopted than to luake a last attempt by a run and give

8 INTftODtrCTIO«l

the enemy possession almost on the spot. In such an exigency no feint at a kick is allowed by the rules, but it must ha such a kick as to give the opponents fair and equal chance to gain possession of the ball. There is one other element entering into this progress of the game, and that is the fair catch. This can be made from a kick by the opponents, provided the catcher takes the ball on the fly and, no other of his own side touching it, he plants his heel in the ground at the spot where the catch is made. This entitles him to a free- kick ; that is, his opponents cannot come beyond his mark, made by heeling the catch, while he and his side may retire such distance toward his own goal as he sees fit, and then make a punt or a drop, or place the ball for a place-kick. He ordinarily, however, in these days of wedge play, acts exactly as we have described for the first kick-off — that is, merely touches the ball with his foot in order to conform with the rule that he must put it in play by a kick, and then passes it to another of his own side for a run. His own men must be behind the ball when he kicks it, under penalty of off-side.

Whenever the ball goes across the side boundary line of the field, it is said to go "into touch," and it must be at once brought back tt) the point where it crossed the ^ine, and then put in play by some member of the side which carried it out, or first secured possession of it after it went out. The methods of putting it in play are as follows : to throw it directly in at right angles to the touch line, bound it or touch it in, and then pass it back, or finally, and most commonly, walk into the field and make an ordinary scrimmage of it the same as after a down. In this latter case, the player who intends walking in with it must, before stepping into the field, declare how many paces he will walk in, in order that the opponents may know wiiere the ball will be put in play. We will suppose that the ball by a succession of

INTRODUCTION.

these plays, runs, kicks, downs, fair catches, etc., has progressed toward one or the other of the goals, until it is within kicking distance of the goal-posts. The question now will arise m the mind of the captain of the attacking side, as to whether his best plan of oper- ations will be to try a drop-kick at the goal, or to con- tinue the running attempts, in the hope of carrying the ball across the goal-lhie, for this latter play will count his side a touch-down, and entitle them to a try-at- goal. The touch-down itself will count 4 points, even if he afterward fail to convert it into a goal, by sending the ball over the bar and between the posts, while, if he succeed in converting it, the touch-down and goal together count 6 points. A drop-kick, if successful, on the other hand, counts but 5 points, and is, of course, even if attempted, by no means sure of resulting successfully. If it fail, the ball is almost certain to cross the goal-line somewhere, and this gives the opponents the right to bring it out to the twenty-five yard hne for kick-out, and then have a free-kick, which results in still further gain for them, and usually puts their goal out of danger for the time being. He must therefore carefully consider both issues at this point, and it is the handling of those problems that show his quality as a captain. If he elects to continue his running attempts, and eventually carries the ball across the line, he secures a touch-down at the spot where the ball is finally held after being carried over, and any player of his side may then bring it out, making a mark with his heel on the line as lie walks out, and when he reaches a suitable distance, place the ball for one of his side to kick, the opponents meantime standing behind their goal-line. In placing the ball it is held in the hands of the placer, close to, but not touching the ground, and then carefully aimed until the direction is proper. Then, at a signal from the kicker that it is right it is placed upon the ground, still steadied by the hand or finger of the placer, and

10 INTRODUCTION.

instantly kicked by the place-kicker. The reason for this keeping it off the ground until the last instant, is that the opponents can charge forward as soon as the ball touches the ground, and hence would surely stop the kick if much time intervened. If the ball goes over the goal, it scores as above indicated, and the opponents then take it to the middle of the field for kick-off again, the same as at the commencement of the match. The same result happens by this year's rules if the goal be missed, although formerly the opponents could then only bring it out to the twenty-five yard line.

There is one other issue to be considered at this point, and that is, if the ball be in possession of the defenders of the goal, or if it fall into their hands when thus close to their own goal. Of course, they will natur- ally endeavor by running or kicking, to, if possible, free themselves from the unpleasant situation that menaces them. Sometimes, however, this becomes impossible, and there is a provision in the rules which gives them an opportunity of relief, at a sacrifice it is true, but scoring less agamst them than if their oppon- ents should re-gain possession of the ball and make a touch-down or a goal. A player may at any time kick, pass, or carry the ball across his own goal-line, and there touch it down for safety. This, while it scores two points for his opponents, gives his side the privi- lege of bringing the ball out to the twenty-five yard line and then taking a kick -out, performed like kick-off or any other free-kick, except that it must be a drop- kick or a place-kick.

This succession of plays continues for three-quarters of an hour in a regular match. Then intervenes a ten-minute intermission, after which the side which did not have the kick-off at the commencement of the match, has possession . of the ball for the kick-off at the second three-quarters of an hour. The result of the match is determined by the number of points scored

INTRODUCTION. 11

during the two three-quarters, a goal from a touch- down yielding 6 points, one from the field, that is, without the aid of a touch-down, 5 points ; a touch- down from which no goal is kicked giving 4, and a safety counting 2 points for the opponents. In prac- tice it is usual to have the two periods of play consider- ably shorter than forty five minutes, generally not over twenty or thirty.

FOOT-BALL RULES. 21

Rule 21. —A player who has made and claimed a fair mtch shall take a drop-kick, or a punt, or place the ball for a place-kick. The opponents may come up to the catcher's mark, and the ball must be kicked from some spot behind that mark on a parallel to touch line.

Rule 23.— The side which has a free-kick must be be- hind the ball when it is kicked. At kick-off the oppo- site side must stand at least ten yards in front of the ball until it is kicked.

Rule 23.— Charging is lawful for opponents if a punter advances beyond his line, or in case of a place-kick, im- mediately the ball is put in play by touching the ground. In case of a punt-out, not till ball is kicked.

Rule 24.~(a) A player is put off side, if, during a scrimmage, he gets in front of the ball, or if the ball has been last touched by his own side behind him. It is impossible for a player to be off side in his own goal. No player when off side shall touch the ball, or inter- rupt, or obstruct opponent with his hands or arms until again on side.

(b) A player being off side is put on side when the ball has touched an opponent, or when one of his own side has run in front of him, either with the ball, or having touched it when behind him.

(c) If a player when off-side touches the ball inside the opponents' five yard line, the ball shall go as a touch- back to the opponents.

Rule 25.— No player shall lay his hands upon, or in- terfere by use of hands or arms, with an opponent, un- less he has the ball. The side w^hich has the ball can only interfere with the body. The side which has not the ball can use the hands and arms, as heretofore.

Rule 26.— (a) A foul shall be granted for intentional delay of game, off side play, or holding an 'opponent, un- less he has the ball. No delay arising from any cause whatsoever shall continue more than five minutes.

FOOT-BALL RULES. 2S

(6) The penalty for fouls and violation of rules, except otherwise provided, shall be a down for the other side ; or, if the side making the foul has not the ball, five yards to the opponents.

Rulp: 27.— (a) A player shall be disqualified for un- nec ssary roug^hness, hacking or striking with closed fist.

(b) For the offences of throttling, tripping up or in- tentional tackling below the knees, the opponents shall receive twenty-five yards, or a free-kick, at their option. In case, however, the twenty-five yards would carry the ball across the goal line they can have half the distance from the spot of the offence to the goal line, and shall not be allowed a free-kick.

Rule 28.— A player may throw or pass the ball in any direction except towards opponents' goal. If the ball be batted in any direction or thrown forward it shall go down on the spot to opponents.

Rule 29.— If a player when off side interferes with an opponent trying for a fair catch, by touching him or the ball, or waving his hat or hands, the opponent may have a free-kick, or down, where the interference occurred.

Rule 30.— (a) If a player having the ball be tackled and the ball fairly held, the man so tackling shall cry "held," the one so tackled must cry "down,' and some player of his side put it down for a scrimmage. The snap[)er back and the man op- posite him cannot pick out the ball with the hand until it touch a third man ; nor can the opponents interfere with the snapper-back by touching the ball until it is actually put in play. Infringement of this nature shall give the side having the ball five yards at every such offense. Tlio snapper back is entitled to full and undisturbed possession of the ball. If the snapper back be off side in the act of snapping back , the ball must be snapped again, and if this occurs three times on same down, the ball goes to opponents.

• fo*s the goal line, a team shall not have advanced the ball five or taken it back twenty yards, it shall go to the opponents on spot of fourth. "Consecutive " means without leaving the hands of the side holding it, and by a kick giving opponents fair and equal chance of gain, ing x>ossession of it. When the referee, or iimpire, has given a side five yards, the following down shall be counted the first down,

(&) The man who puts the ball in play in a scrimmage eannot pick it up until it has touched some third man. '' Third man '' means any other player than the one put- ting the ball in play and the man opposite him.

Rule 31. — If the ball goes into touch, whether it bounds back or not, a player on the side which touches it down must bring it to the spot where the line was crossed, and there either

I. Bound the ball in the field of play, or touch it in with both hands, at right angles to the touch line, and then run with it, kick it, or throw it back ;or

II. Throw it out at right angles to the touch line ; or

III. Walk out with it at right angles to touch line an; distance not less than five nor more than fifteen yards, and there put it down, first declaring how far he intends walking. The man who puts the ball in must face field or opponents' goal, and he alone can have his foot outside touch line. Anyone, except him, who puts his hands or feet between the ball and his opponents' goal is off side. If it be not thrown out at right angles, either side may claim it thrown over again, and if it fail to be put in play fairly in three trials it shall go to the opponents.

Rule 32. — A side which has made a touch-down in their opponents' goal imist try at goal, either by a place-kick or a punt-out. If the goal be missed the ball shall go as a kick- off at the center of the field to the defenders of the goal.'

Rule 33. — (a) If the try be by a place-kick, a player of the side which has touched the ball down shall bring it up to the goal line, and making a mark opposite the spot where it

\yt»6 touched down, bring it out at right angles to the goal line such distance as he thinks proper, and there place it for another of his side to kick. The opponents must remain behind their goal line until the ball has been placed on the ground.

(b) The placer in a try-at-goal may be off-side or in touch without vitiating the kick.

Rule 34. — If the try be by a punt-out, the punter shall bring the ball up to the goal line, and making a mark oppo- site the spot where it was touched down, punt-out from any spot behind line of goal and not nearer the goal post than such mark, to another of his side, who must all stand out- side of goal line not less than fifteen feet. If the touch- down was made in touch-in-goal, the punt-out shall be made from the intersection of the goal and touch lines. The opponents may line up anywhere on the goal line, except space of five feet on each side of punter's mark, but cannot interfere with punter, nor can he touch the ball after kick- ing it until it touch some other player. If a fair catch be made from a i3unt-out, the mark shall serve to determine jDOsitions as the mark of any fair catch. If a fair catch be not made on the first attempt the ball shall be punted over again, and if a fair catch be not made on the second attempt, the ball shall go as a kick-off at the center of the field to the defenders of the goal.

Rule 35. — A side which has made a touch-back or a safety must kick out, except as otherwise provided (see Rule 82), from not more than twenty-five yards outside the kicker's goal. If the ball go into touch before striking a player it must be kicked out again ; and if this occurs three times in succes- sion it shall be given to opponents as in touch on twenty-five yard line on side where it went out. At kick-out opponents must be on twenty-five yard line or nearer their own goal.

Rule 36. — The following shall be the value of each point in the scoring :

Goal obtained by touch-down, ... 6

Goal from field kick, 5

Touch-down failing goal, .... 4 Safety by opponents, .:.,,. 2

AMERICANl COLLEGES,

I 876-1 893.

Our colleges have now been playing the Eugby style of game for seventeen years, and in that time, although there have been many alterations in the rules from those originally adopted, the sport has steadily increased in popularity until it now attracts audiences such as one sees gathered by no other athletic event. And the followers of the sport, the players themselves, have disseminated foot baU knowledge throughout the country, so that now it is nononger confined to the few larger eastern colleges, but is^kyed in every col- lege or university of importance and in nearly ever^^J|para- tory school in the United States. .^ '^^

Up to 1878 goals only counted, and unless one side-^r the other secured a majority of goals the game was a ti.^-^^ The next step in the scoring was to decide a match by a^jaajority of touch-downs, a goal being valued as four touch-downs. At the same time a touch-down goal took precedence over a field-kick goal. Then it was determined to count safeties, and the first step toward this was the passage of a rule as follows : '•If no other points are scored, a side making four safety touch-downs less than their opponents shall win the game." In 1S83 values were first given to each point in the scoring, and our present method a goal from a touch-down counting six, a field-kick goal counting five, a touch-down from which no goal is kicked counting four and a safety by the opponents two, is

POE. Princeton.

FOOT BALL. 43

an outgrowth of this. The Canadians have followed us in tliis method af assigning values and they also count safeties.

One of the principal features of the play of ;i892 was the de- velopment of wedge work or mass playing, and it is likely to be even more characteristic of the matches of 1893. If one may judge from the past records of play, American teams will in a season or two, make so much of the wedge that legislation will become necessary to prevent its occupying too great prominence. It is not a feature likely to prove attractive when carried to excess either to spectator or player and although a product of skilful manipulation of men and offer- ing a tempting field for the enthusiast, another year of exces- sive use will very likely convince all that it should be curtailed. Other probabilities of the coming season will be the still fur- ther development of the strategical moves, and, it is to be hoped, the science of kicking— particularly in the line of accu- racy. Our players, while ahead of many others in team work, are lamentably inefficient in punting and long place-kicking. We should in that respect make but a sorry showing in com- petition with English teams. Although we have occasionally a star, the rank and lile of our men behind the line are not able to place the ball with accuracy when kicking any great dis- tance, nor do we look for anything of the kind.

The coaching feature of the game is to-day of the utmost importance. No team can hope to compete with others of its class unless it is handled by an efficient coach who understands both the theory of the play as well as the detail of the individ- ual positions. Such a man will bring out all there Is in the players and show them how to use their strength and skill to the greatest advantage instead of uselessly exhausting them- selves in individual struggles. The perfected team performs its work almost like a machine at a minimum expenditure of force, while the team without proper instruction merely racks itself to pieces collectively and individually with no chance of winning against anything but very inferior teams.

A brief record of the intercollegiate matches since the intro- duction of the game will therefore be of interest to those who read these pages, and will, perhaps, add to the value of the book as a book of reference.

SPALDING'S NEW TURTLE SWEATER.

Colors, White, Navy and Elack. The Turtle Sweater is our own design, and really a Sweater within a Sweater. It is made of the finest Australian wool, mediuni weight, with lace front and deep sailor collar, which in an emergency can be turned up, giving additional protection to hack of neck and head. The inner part is entirely independent of the Sweater, and is woven to Sweater, and extends as far down front and rear as dotted lines indicated in cut. It thus forms a double thickness over cliest and back, affording extra protection against colds.

Price, $7.00.
