Godfrey Hodgson, a Britisher writing re cently in British newspaper, gives some interesting views of American football. It should be remembered that most Euro peans, where football as played in most of the world originated, do not understand the rules and methods of U. S. football. The gist of Hodgson's sum mary is that American football is Prussian ' brutality, "though a' super* 'spectacle for tberfm* The British writer was franfcir amazed at the pressure exerted on educational institution coaches to win. He was fascinated by the speed and violence and team work of the game. But he re ported to his British readers that coaches brow-beat their players, drive them through para-military discipline and sometimes force them to train until them vomit. (Deaths, too, are a yearly occurrence in the beginning of rugged drills and training sessions.) The Brithish do not admire the violence of the game, which causes so many injuries. They dislike the para-military organi zation of the game, which sees to "commander" running the game from the sidelines (the coach) and driving on his "squads" (a military team) with Prussian brutality. The British also depreciate the tactics of many coaches, who have abused players, forced them to wrestle with each other until they had to be helped up and taught them dirty tactics. (An All- American recently quit the game because he would not resort to the tactics necessary in the game today.) The British are surprised that football is sweeping the country. To the British, a sport is something wherein good sportsmanship and clean play are the thing. They cannot ad mire a game for big men only. They see no merit in putting a premium on sheer size and strength. They see no connec tion with sport in this. It is an asset in physical violence, of course, but should not be con fused with sports or good sportsmanship, in the British view. The disturbing thing about all this? and it will probably not affect our style of football unfortunately? is that Hodgson and the British are about one hundred per cent correct. Orchestra .
