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. The man who first receives the
ball when snapped back from a down, or thrown back from a fair,
shall not carry the ball forward under any circumstances what-
ever. If, in three consecutive fairs and downs, unless the ball

• 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

— AT—

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.

What the catclier's mask is to Base Ball, this mask is to Foot
Ball. First thought of by Harvard's great Captain, Arthur
Cumnock, and patented l)y John Morrill, of Boston. It has
l)ecome a necessity on every foot ball team.

Morrill's Nose Mask (patented) is made of fine rubber. No
w^ire or metal is used in its construction. No danger of injuring
other players. Affords absolute protection to nose, also to teeth.
Price, each, $2.50.

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.
