The American Oaoaa f Foot-Ball.
It may help the public in the ap
preciation of the coming football
game between the Chapel Hill and
Trinity College elevens to know some
thing about the history and the pre
liminaries of foot-boll. '
The ordinary "rough and tumble"
game of foot ball is destined to be no
more than the game of school "bovs.
The regular college game known in
America as the association game is,
however, a most scientific species of
athletics and may well be ranked first
among those sports in which the qual
ities of the soldier are capable of be-
ing aeveiopea.
The old game is a game in which .
brute force and shin-kicking play a
prominent part. The new game of
oot ball, better known as the Rugby
game, was first introduced from Eng-
ana into jtiarvard uoilege sometime
before 1875. Since then nearly evert
college of any considerable siz9 in
the New England and the Middle
Stales has learned the art, and every
week during October and' November
the accounts of the inter-collegiate
contests in foot-ball form a large part
of the athletio news of the day.
xu tne i ail oi its to Harvard Uol-
egf, having learned to play the
Rugby game, sent a challenge to Yale
College to play a match game at New
Haven. Ihe resnlt was that Yale in
her greennes was thrashed all over
the ground, though she played with
that usual doggedness and desperation-
for which her teams are vtill
noted. But that was the last vicory
her crimson rival ever gained of the
blies Yale took to unremitting
practice and next year and every year
alter wards defeated ( Harvard at! her
own game. .
Ihere were then 15 players on each
side in the game. In 1876 Princeton
adopted the Rugby rules. gByi this
time I ale had developed some very
fleet runners among her players and
saw that if the size of the teams
could bs reduced her chances might
be greatly strengthened. According
ly in 1878 when the Foot ball Asso
ciation was organized, with Harvard,
Yale and Princeton as members, Yale
nrged that 11 players be made to
constitute a full team instead of
5. She demons crated that the scien
tific development of the game de
pended on a smaller number.
Litter practice has proved that Yale
was not wrong; for a comparison of
he original Rugby as now played in
England, with the American Associa
tion game, as played in American col-
egea today, shows, as many compe
tent judges assent, that the American
Association game is a marked im
provement both scientifically and in
practice, upon the English Rugby
from which it sprang.
No one is capable of judging of this
game until he has played in it As a
spectator he may consider it danger
ous to the players. But it is danger
ous only to the timid or the reckless,
wtile to the one who plays either
with a cool desperation or a furious
energy there is no danger except to
such as are unpracticed in meeting
such players. As a rule the players
can make the game a dangerous one
or a safe one. Three years aeo it
was regarded as necessarily danger
ous, but since then the feeling be
tween the leading teams has im
proved and the temper of the game
become milder and entirely within the
limits of good manners and fair play.
The public must further remember
bat foot-ball players usually give a
couple of months oi a any practice
for the pubho contests into which
they inter. This disciplines them to
long runs, enlarges their breathing
capacity, toughens their muscles and
enables them to stand rough tackling
witnou uiscuniubure. muss or quite
. I L J- C L i. .i
all of the pity bestowed by the epeo?
tators upon a roughly handled player
is not only wasted but would be re
sented by he player himself as a re-
nection upon wa enauranoe. ua ue
other hand, nothing works ' like ap
plause upon the players. Every ex
hibttion of pluck, whether foiled or
not! should be acknowledged prompt
ly by the lookers on.
Half past two o'clock p. m

graceful movements the best-look

have seen lor a long time, wna
may you expect of them? Time ii
called and in a half minute every one
is in his plaoe, with his eyes on the
ball.
Ihe foot-ball ground should
be 330 feet long and 160 feet wide.
Its boundaries should be cut in the

In the above diagram the
space enclosed by the four lines
is the field Lof play. The goal-posts
GG.GG, at the ends, are 20 feet or
more high, 18 feet apart and are
connected by a cross bar ten feet
feet from the ground. To kick th
ball over this cross-bar from some
point in the field of play is the feat
that decides the game. TT,TT are
the touch lines; the end lines are the
goal-lines. RRRRRRR indicate the
rushers lined up on both aides facing
the ball (B) lying ready for kick off
in the center ef the field, by that side
to whose lot it has fallen to start the
game. Q is the quarter-back whose
chief business it is to pass the ball
back to H,H the half backs who are
then expected to dash towards their
opponents' goal. But some opponent
tackles him and holds him; then he
suddenly tosses the ball to some one
on his side who darts in a circuit,
around his opponents, 'toward goal;
first he dodges one, then 1 slips
through another's hands, strikes
down the outstretched arms t of
a third , and away he j flies
in the wildest speed towards K,
the goal-keeper, who has the last
chance to prevent the runner from
getting behind the goal and scoring ia
touchdown for his side.' But the
goal-keeper is a trusty player and,
thoagh the runner is just about to
sup by him, he manages to "detain
him until others of ihis side come op
to his rescue. Then the straggle be
gins in dead earnest the one side to
get over the goal-line and the other
to prevent it, the one trying to hold
the ball, the other doing its best to
get it and run in the other direction.
lhey all huddle together, swaying,
pushing, squeezing, trying, untu the

The first scrimmage is over. At onoe
they all give up and range themselves
in confronting lines on the spot; the
middle rusher, places' the bail under
his foot, his quarter-back stands ready
o hurl it to the half-back, who is just
chafing to get it and try for the su-
reme honor of a touch-down.
He's got it and away he goes,
