Spalding's Athletic Library
Anticipating the present ten- dency of the American people toward a healthful method of living: and enjoyment, Spalding's Athletic Library was established in 1892 for the purpose of encouraging ath- letics in every form, not only by publishing the official rules and records pertaining to the various pastimes, but also by instructing., until to-day Spalding's Athletic Library is unique in its own par- ticular field and has been conceded the greatest educational series on athletic and physical training sub- jects that has ever been compiled. The publication of a distinct series of books devoted to athletic sports and pastimes and designed to occupy the premier place in America in its class was an early idea of Mr. A. G. Spalding, who was one of the first in America to publish a handbook devoted to athletic sports, Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide being the initial number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the sports prominent in the '70s.
Spalding's Athletic Library has had the advice and counsel of Mr. A. G. Spalding in all of its undertakings, and particularly in all books devoted to the national game. This applies especially to Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide and Spalding's Official Base Ball Record, both of which receive the personal attention of Mr. A. G. Spalding, owing to his early connection with the game as the leading pitcher of the champion Boston and Chicago teams of 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, with matters pertaining to base ball; there is not a sport that Mr. Spalding does not make it his business to become familiar with, and that the Library will always maintain its premier place, with Mr. Spalding's able counsel at hand, goes without saying.
The entire series since the issue of the first number has been under the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three hundred, included in which are many "annuals," that really constitute the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do thl really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever been consecutively compiled.
When Spalding's Athletic Library was founded, seventeen years ago, track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa- sional meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of com- ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis bad some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field

sport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been invented; athletics for the schoolboy — and schoolgirl— weje almost unknown, and an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools cpuld not get a hearing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world ia the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had an entry list at its annual games of over two thousand, and in whose "elementary series" in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the trophy emblematic of the championship.
While Spalding's Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth of athletics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, by printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various games at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object that its series might be complete and the one place where a person could look with absolute certainly for the particular book in which he might be interested.
In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lead- ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with Spalding's Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical manner.
A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead' ing numbers of Spalding's Athletic Library is ^iven herewith :

WALTER CAMP
For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp of Yale has occupied a leading- position in col- lege athletics. It is immaterial what organiza- tion is suggested for college athletics, or for the betterment of conditions, insofar as college athletics is concerned, Mr. Camp has always played an important part in its conferences, and the great interest in and high plane of college sport to-day, are undoubtedly due more to Mr. Camp than to any other individual. Mr. Camp has probably written more on college athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and maga- zines of America are always anxious to secure his expert opinion on foot "ball, track and field athletics, base ball and rowing. Mr. Camp has grown up with Yale athletics and is a part of Yale's remarkable athletic system. While he has been designated as the "Father of Foot Ball/' it is a well known fact that during his college career Mr. Camp was regarded as one •cf the best players that ever represented Yale on the base ball field, so when we hear of Walter Camp as a foot ball expert we must also remem- ber his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he is a great admirer. Mr. Camp has edited Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide since it was first published, and also the Spalding Athletic Library book on How to Play Foot Ball. There is certainly no man in American college life better qualified to write for Spalding's Athletic Library than Mr* •Camp.

Sullr.van, organized the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and was its first Secretary; Dr. Gulick was also for several years Director of Physical Training in the public schools of Greater New York, resigning the position to assume the Presidency of the Playground Association of America.

A REVIEW OF THE SEASON'S PLAY AND THE PLAYERS

A strange season indeed and one of weird happenings. But in spite of all this, the play was consistently interesting, and brought out at times some very good quality of work, both in individual prowess and in team tactics. Best of all, the pounding upon tackle, which had been the most serious fea- ture of the season of 1909, was practically eliminated by the new rule forbidding pushing ard pulling and locked interference. This gave the man playing this former star position a chance once more to bring out the infinite possibilities of the place instead of merely standing up to be pounded to a jelly or made a chopping-block cf. I regard this as,

by all odds, the best feature introduced into the rules, and I believe that all those who care for the eventual wel- fare of the sport will agree on this point. The difficulty surround- ing it was that the officials,' urged ( I have it from the board of offi- cials) by coaches not to rule too harshly on this point, allowed a certain amount of pushing and pulling and holding to creep into the play, and hence gave an undue and unusual induce- ment to the infringe- ment of the rules. This brought about an anomaly in that the officials who were sup- posed to enforce the rules found every pressure exerted upon them to overlook occa- sional lapses. Such a state of affairs is the
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL FOOT BALL GUIDE.
worst possible thing for any sport, because if the
rules are not made to be enforced the rules must
be wrong, and if officials find that they are not
backed up in strict rulings their authority will
speedily cease and the game revert to a lower
standard.
Not only have these new rules eliminating push- ing and pulling been thoroughly successful whenever
enforced, and reduced to the minimum the heavy
assaults upon the tackles witnessed in 1909. thus
going far toward lessening the danger of accident,
but they have saved the rest of the team from
that stupid, dazed condition that arose from this
style of play. At the same time these rules have
rendered the game far more a square sport in the
sense that no one man was made a mark for the
united assault of some five men massed and going
with such a cruel force as to make the play a
really unfair equation. This feature of the rules
Should be preserved at all hazards, as well as the
kindred one forbidding locked interference. Upon
these rules depends the real salvation of the game
from the two great objections of unfair and brutal
play. Something more should be done, however, to J
render the task of officials less onerous and the *
comprehension of the average spectator more
effective.
It is rather a strange commentary upon the use Walker (Minnesota)
of the forward pass that Yale and Michigan should Tackle
each have won one of their most important contests
of the year by means of this play, just as Yale won
her main contest with one of these plays in the initial year of its introduction, while others, though using this play more frequently, usually lost rather than gained through its employment, just as did Harvard in her chief contest in 1909. The play is a treacherous one, and the occasions for its use are so dependent upon the very imme- diate conditicns surrounding it at the moment that it should be placed in a special category by I every quarter-back and captain. Chicago, probably ' its stror gest advocate, has fared very badly this season, although this may be traceable to lack of material. Pennsylvania, another of those who were credited with especially desiring its reten- tion, has perfected a far more effective play against her opponents in the shape of a running- on-side kick. And Pennsylvania should have especial credit for this achievement in view o+ the fact that it takes harder and more conscientious work to perfect this play. The reward, however, is correspondingly greater because the really effective on-side kick when not recovered still has very nearly as good results as an ordinary kick, while a forward pass when it fails may result in changing the entire complexion of the play in a moment. A study of generalship proves that neither play may be used against an alert defense except under special conditions of wind and posi-

use either of these plays. Harvard, Yale and
Princeton furnished most interesting complica- tions. Harvard, with a wealth of material and
a wonderful aggregation of veterans who had
been star ground-gainers the year before, started
her season at once with consistent play on
attack and defense, running through her teams
up to the time of the Brown game with at least
three scores over each, and in the Brown game
winning 12 to 0 ; the Army game was a little
harder, but Harvard won it 6 to 0.
On the following Saturday Harvard met
Cornell (the first team to score on the Cam- bridge men), and defeated her 27 to 5. Then
Dartmouth was decisively defeated, no less than
18 .to 0. By the 11th of November Yale had
been defeated by the Army, tied by Vanderbilt,
and almost annihilated, 21 to 0, by Brown,
while Princeton's slate was clean.
Princeton had been a very consistent team,
defeating her opponents up to the Lafayette
game very easily. She found more difficulty,
here, but still won. Then she defeated the
Indians 6 to 0, and faced a hard game wit
Dartmouth. This she also won 6 to 0. The \
following Saturday Princeton took somewhat of I
a breathing spell, but defeated Holy Cross 17
to 0. Hence there was every expectation that
Princeton would at last secure the longed-for
victory over the Blue.
But the Brown game proved the final stagger- ing blow that convinced Yale that she must abandon old lire-plunging methods. During the week that followed no team in the history of the game ever absorbed so much foot ball knowledge. But those outside New Haven and most of the people there, for the practice was secret, knew nothing of this except through rumor and the more cheerful expres- sions of players and coaches.
From the very start in the Princeton game Yale seemed to have the upper hand, and, although stalled several times, finally won by the execution of a clever forward pass," the score being 5 to 3. Then without a break in her stride the Blue went on with the hardest kind of practice throughout the week, while the Harvard sympathizers, becoming somewhat alarmed at the result, endeavored to comfort them- selves by reading the statements in the papers that it was not Yale's strength, but Princeton's weakness, and that neither team played up-to-date foot ball. But those who knew at Cambridge were not deceived by this ; they realized that Yale had a strong team, and a team that was coming ; a team that was no longer hammering itself to pieces with old-fashioned line-plunging methods and whose defense was entirely reorgauized and reformed.
As it proved, they had stored up within them a potential force to stop anything that Harvard pro- duced, and at the end of an hour and forty minutes Fisher (Harvaiu) the two "teams left the field, neither having been able Guard to score. It is doubtful if any aggregation of players,

even from Yale, ever before took up such odds as stood against them and succeeded as this teain did in reversing them. Thus ended for -these three , teams, Princeton, Harvard and Yale, one oft the most compli- cated and puzzling of seasons.
Pennsylvania. Michigan and Cornell: were., however, not far behind in contributions to the gridiron crazy- -quilt. Pennsylvania was defeated by" Tfr sinus, and Michigan was tied by both Case and Ohio State, while Cornell was/tied by Oberlin. > But Pennsylvania defeated Brown 20 to 0; Cornell was the only team to cross Harvard's goal line, and Michigan, besides tieing Pennsylvania, defeated Minnesota. Then Penn- sylvania defeated Cornell by the score of 12 to 6.
The Dartmouth-Brown situation, although they do not meet, is unquestionably the most interesting in New England. Brown defeated Yale 21 to 0, although defeated earlier in the season by Pennsylvania. Dart- mouth took on the Princeton and Harvard teams when each was at the very top of its game, and suffered defeat in both instances. A match between these two, Brown and Dartmouth, renewing old rela- tions, would have proved particularly interesting. Amherst and Williams just about bore out the promise indicated by their matches with Dartmouth, for the first-named was defeated by Dartmouth 15 to
3, while FUJla??* !U5Td+ f^V0' TnUf' nS WaS McKay (Harvard)
anticipated, Amherst defeated W llhams 9 to 0. Tackle
In the Middle West Minnesota came from the very
start with a great rush. The shift plays of Dr.
Williams, former Yale back, later used at New Haven,
proved too much for Minnesota's opponents up to the time of the great game. In fact, it is prob- able that the early promise of the team, coupled with the unexpected weakness of the opponents on its schedule, cost Minnesota her important match with Michigan, for her team had never before been even headed. When Michigan checked her it was too new an experience, and Yost's men won with the forward passes at the end. Outside of Michigan and Minnesota. Illinois should have the credit for developing an exceedingly good team. Chicago dropped still further down, as must any team that has through lack of material no back- bone of attack outside the forward passes and tricks. West Point and Annapolis did conscientious, hard work and developed, as usual, two strong teams. The latter's schedule was the lighter — almost too light for real testing — but kept the men in good physical trim. In fact, at the time of meeting, no one had a satisfactory line on their relative merits, and it was anybody's choice. The game was played slowly and in a howling gale, and Annapolis won through better generalship and the work of Dalton. who kicked a goal from \ olacement, the single solitary score of the day. /Carlisle was more erratic than usual, hut wound / up its season in a hard game with Brown, which was interesting, but Brown proved too strong.

Sprr.ck'ing (Brown) Q uar ter-bacl:
Beginning with the ends, it seems hardly wort a while to take up a great deal of space with a description of the work of Kilpatriek of Yale, for he was the same not only reliable but brijiant player as when he filled the position in 1909. But there is another man who runs him close on account of the great value he was to his team. practically alone and unaided winning for that team its principal championship game. That man is Wells of Michigan. Not only has he all the qualifications of the ordinary first-class end, bur he is a sterling back as well.
Next to these two comes L. Smith of Harvard. a reliable, heady player, powerful and aler.. although not exceptionally fast. Although not scintillating as Kilpatriek, he could always be counted upon.
Of tackles, McKay of Harvard earned for him- self the reputation of the best man in a remark- ably good line.
Walker of Minnesota was the star man in the Gopher line ; breaking through, blocking kicks. handling his men on offense, and always alert and keen on defense, he was a dangerous feature to Minnesota's opponents. (
Scully of Yale came late in t.:e season, but he ' came far, and for a man of his build combined speed and aggressiveness in a marked fashion.
Of guards we have a wonderful pair. Benbrook is a ^born player. In 1909 he showed great strength and cash and an ability to follow the
ball ; in 1910 he improved along every line, and there is no match for him on the gridiron.
Fisher of Harvard is next to Benbrook and outclassed the other competitors for this position. He and Benbrook as a pair would bolster up almost any center. After these two first string guards there are three men. On his season's work I should take Brown of the Navy, with Weir of the Army and Butzer of Illinois to follow. Coming to the pivotal position of center, Cozens of Pennsylvania gets the call from Morris of Y/ale i because he has played in top form from the very r start of the season, and was a shade the more 1 consistent passer, making almost no slips. The defensive work of both outshone that of any other middle men throughout the season, Cozens was quick to diagnose the play, and able to direct hi? guards so that the three men and his back-field defense worked in unison : there were few plays that, given a little time, he would not rind a means to stop. Morris used similar methods. The quarter-back position was more closely con- i tested last year than ever before in the history of the gridiron sport. Howe, Sprackling and McGovern — no captain would be dissatisfied with any of the three. Sprackling, however, gets the olace because he has played it all through the season at top form. I doubt very much, however, if Wendell (Harvard) any one who saw Howe handle his team in only the Half-back tv\o main contests when he came back to his 1909

position of quarter-back, and watched his consum- mate generalship in those games, and finally saw him kick out from the shadows of his own goal post into the teeth of the wind, not upon one occa- sion, but upon several, would fail to accord him the right to step up from second place, which he occu- pied last year, into the premier position. McGovern, presumably the strong drop-kicker, missed his oppor- tunity in his big contest, so that perhaps Sprackling has a shade on him here. It is not that McGovern has become poorer than in 1909 in any respect, except possibly in speed of kick, for Michigan partly blocked his try of drop-kick ; it is that both Sprack- * ling and Howe (placed below him last year) have come up and shown such qualities as to entitle them to higher consideration.
Of backs, Wendell of Harvard, Pendleton of Princton and Mercer of Pennsylvania make an ideal back-field. Wendell is the best line-plunger on the gridiron, and carries his charge farther through and exhibits a greater ability to keep his feet than any one else who has tried this play. Pendleton and Mercer are fast ; Pendleton a bright star when given the proper kind of protection and interference. He fared badly in his game with Yale because Princeton was met with an unusual defense which \ the rest of her men did not understand how to ,, - „- .
handle. Mercer has a shade the Mercer (U. of P.), best of any of them as a defen- Full-back
sive back, and thus fills up the measure. Field of Yale was, however, the best defensive back on the gridiron of 1910. McKay of Brown was a hard hitter, who took a lot of stopping and was a good punter as well. Corbett of Harvard was not quite up to his former stand- ard in his last game, but was the star of all games previous to this, and was constantly watched by the Yale defense. Dal ton of the Navy was the mainstay of his team when hard work was wanted, both on running and kicking. Taylor, the Oregon captain, was a shining light, fast and strong and good on defense. Magidsohn of Michigan, Johnson and Rosenwald of Minnesota were hard-running, experienced men, but Magid- sohn could not make his usual headway over Min- nesota's line, and, had it not been for Wells, Michigan would have failed of its victory. Kistler of Yale proved a strong line-plunger. E. Rams- dell of Trinity should be considered, although an injured side somewhat handicapped this really star player. Daly of Yale got in the longest run of the day in the Harvard game, and only missed by a shade the prettiest drop kicks of the season in the Princeton and Harvard games, the ball Pendleton (Princeton) hitting the goal post in the former and being Half-back swerved by the wind in the latter.

ADDITIONAL. NOTES ON TEAMS AND PLAYERS.
The only section of the country where the American Intercol- legiate game does not hold full sway in the fall is on the Pacinc Coast, and there is a break, two of the universities, Stanford ana California, having given up the game some three years ago, and adopted Rugby in its place. At first Rugby was unsatisfactory to the student body, players, and spectators, but with three years of it they have grown to like it, and it is serving its purpose, and it is a good game. It lacks the definiteness and planning of the Amer- ican Intercollegiate, and there is a far greater measure of luck and chance, with more individualism and less team play, but it is fine exercise. Outside of these two the universities are playing the American game, and there is remarkably wide-spread interest in it. Especially is this true in the Northwest, where some of the best players and best teams are located.
It may also be said of the South that her style of play was benefited much under last year's rules. There is far more elasticity in her game, and the fact that •Vanderbilt is able to come North and play Yale to a tie shows good quality.
Of ends, Daley of Dartmouth was another star in the position, and a good one, too with Eyrich of Cornell, Dean of Wisconsin, Gilchrist of the Navy and Asbaugh of Brown all pressing for place. Had Brooks of Yale played through the season as he did in his last two games he would have surely been placed.
Of the tackles, Smith of Brown was in every play on defense, and had plenty of strength and good speed, with excellent judgment. "Polly" Grimm of Washington is a big, powerful man, over twt. hundred pounds, whose wrestling experience has made him quick as a cat, and who has a good head.
Shonks of Nebraska is a tackle of good class, and in the latter part of the Minnesota game, when he had partially diagnosed the offensive shift, did some excellent stopping. McGregor of Princeton and Buser of Wisconsin deserve mention for sterling work in their important games. Rodgers of Pennsylvania saved his end, who was overrunning his man on kicks, by getting down and picking the man every time. Withington of Harvard and Paul of Yale showed excep- tional class in a position full of good men. In the South, Freeland of Vanderbilt, Falkenberry of Sewanee, and Patterson of Georgia Technical put up a good game, while in the Northwest Eakins of Washington added to his ability as a tackle some splendid punting. Laird of Washington State also did well.
Scully of Yale was down under kicks with his ends, deadly in his tackling, and with great natural ability to diagnose plays. Could Lhe have had another two weeks of it he would have pushed the leaders closely indeed.
When Benbrook of Michigan was placed on the All-America last year as the first choice of guards, there were some who questioned how he would compare with the best of the East. There is no doubt now in any one's mind who had a chance to see him play this year and make such a comparison. Repeatedly in his Michigan game he would come crashing over and meet Johnson on plays outside tackle when it seemed as if the Minnesota back was surely free.
Of guards, Metzger of Vanderbilt was one of the best men ©n his team. Minot of Harvard changed from back to line and did very creditable work there, as did Messick of Indiana, Fuller and McDevitt of Yale late in the season. Of Southern guards outside of Metzger the choice was Kinnebrew of Mississippi, Franklin of Georgia, and Bomer of Auburn. They played the position as did Congdon of Yale some three years ago, dropping back from the line while in

mid-field and giving the opponents plenty of enticing opportunities to come into the middle ; then, as soon as the play commenced to approach the thirty-yard line, coming up closer ; or, if the plays through the line were getting too strong, tightening up ; and each was successful with this method.
In the center position, after Cozens and Morris, there are two men, either of whom would be the proper keystone to the center arch. These men are Pinkett of Amherst and Sisson of Brown. Pinkett of Amherst was something of a reincarnation of W. H. Lewis, the old Amherst center and later the Harvard star. His passing: and defensive work were capital. Galvin of Pittsburg was unquestionably closely on a par with these two. Juhan of Sewanee was the best man in his section, with Caton of Auburn a good second.
Ir.gersoll of Dartmouth, though in the fastest kind of company and physically not at his best, was always a dangerous factor to his opponents. MacMillan, the Michigan quarter, a fine little general, has not quite the physique of Cozens and Morris. Butler of Cornell did some very pretty kicking, his placement goals accounting for both the Ithacans' scores against Pennsylvania and the second being from the 45-yard-line. Coyle of Washington and Latourette of Oregon were also good clever performers.
Seiler of Illinois and Lawton of Michigan were star kickers. Macomber of Rolla School of Mines in the Southwest was good, while in the Northwest Thornton of Idaho, Keck of Oregon Agricultural, and Hawley, captain of the same team, were well worth consideration.
Nor should Morrison of Vanderbilt be without great consideration. His handling of Gillem's long spirals was splendid, as was his running.

Some Representative Teams and Their Work in 1910
HARVARD The Yale-Harvard game was a fitting climax
YA|_F to a most interesting season. Up to two
weeks before this game, the day when Yale was defeated by Brown, no less than 21 to 0 (it should be remem- bered that Harvard defeated Brown 12 to 0), there was evetry indication that Harvard would take revenge for the previous year, and her team justified this prediction so far as their side of the equation was concerned. Yale, on the other hand, took the lesson of the Brown game to heart, and improved so rapidly during that week as to defeat Princeton, and the following week entered into the Harvard contest with the determination and confidence that went far towards evening the chances. The game was played on the Yale field in New Haven and resulted in a tie. Harvard had chances to score in the early part of the game, while at the end Yale was in Harvard's territory with what looked like a promising opportunity. The game was interesting throughout, although any effective use of the forward pass was missing.
YALE The Yale-Princeton game was one of the
PRINCETON surprises of the season, for up to the time the two teams met Princeton's star had been in the ascendant. From the very beginning it was evident, however, that Yale was much better than had been expected, and while Princeton scored first through a field kick goal, it was evident to all the spec- tators that there was no great disparity between the two teams. Yale's attack, if anything, grew the more effective. The wind was a disturbing feature, and each side was under the necessity of working very hard when playing against it with a sort of hopeless- ness. However, they handled the situation well. After some dis- appointments Yale got started towards Princeton's goal, and, by a very pretty forward pass worked by Howe and Kilpatrick, a touchdown was secured, which ended the scoring at 5 to 3 and settled the game in Yale's favor.
MICHIGAN This game was, of course, the principal
MINNESOTA game of the Middle West, and was looked ov forward tQ wlth the greatest of interest. Min-
nesota had been cutting a wide swath and defeating her opponents with large scores, while Michigan had been an erratic team and at no time till the Pennsylvania game had shown her full strength. General belief rather favored Minnesota, but when the two teams met it was nip and tuck, and looked very much toward the end like a tie, similar to the Michigan-Pennsylvania game. With only a few minutes to play, however, Michigan worked two effective forward passes which carried the ball down within easy striking distance. Then with a couple of plunges they put it over, thus scoring a touch- down, which was converted into a goal and a victory, 6 to 0.

MICHIGAN Michigan fought out the issue with Pennsyl-
PENNSYLVANIA van*a *n a most exciting contest, in which both teams had chances to score, but remark- able defensive work proved too strong for the attack, and neither got across the goal line of the other nor succeeded in getting a kick over the bar. The Michigan captain, Benbrook, did splendid work, as did Cozens, the Pennsylvania center, and the entire Pennsylvania back-field. In fact, the individual work of the men on both teams was remarkably clever.
ANNAPOLIS The Army and Navy worked steadily through
WEST POINT consistent seasons for their main game. An- napolis was unscored on, while the Army was scored on by both Yale and Harvard, but the Army ■ defeated Yale 9 to 3, and their schedule was the harder. Both teams had good men, but sacrificed a bit of team work to individual stars. Hence, when they came down to Philadelphia on Saturdav. November 26, the interest was intense, and there was very little to tell which way the game would break. As a matter of fact, generalship proved the greater factor, the Navy winning by 3 to 0, a kick from place- ment by Dalton.
PENNSYLVANIA Cornell had the satisfaction of scoring on PORNFI I Harvard and breaking the old tie with Chicago
w^nnicuL. by defeating the western team 18 to 0. Ober-
lin held them to a 0 to 0 score earlier in the season. When they came down to Philadelphia for their final game with Pennsylvania on Thanksgiving Day very little was known about them except that they had been working hard. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, had an experienced team that had gone through a gruelling tie with Michigan and were prepared to do or die. The game, however, found neither team at its best, but was an interesting contest, owing to the fact that the Cornell quarter did some excellent kicking. Penn- sylvania was too strong for them in the running game, and scored 12 points, but Cornell succeeded in getting the ball over Pennsyl- vania's goal bar through field kicks twice, this making the final score 12 to 6.
PRINCETON Princeton had been showing a steady and
DARTMOUTH consistent development, and although Dart- mouth was known to be strong, the Prince- ton adherents felt that on merit their team would be able to hold the sturdy New Englanders, and so it proved. Although the game was close, the brilliant running of Pendleton for Princeton bothered Dartmouth a great deal and finally resulted in a victory for Princeton by the score of 6 to 0.
HARVARD This game was played at Cambridge, and,
CORNELL although Cornell succeeded in scoring, the con-
test was one-sided, and for that reason some- what lacking in interest. Harvard was altogether too strong in the rushing game, and defeated the Ithacans 27 to 5. But it proved a good experience for Cornell, who in the final game of the season fought all the better for this severe defeat.

PRINCETON Princeton had the usual hard time with her
LAFAYETTE Easton visitors and only managed to squeak
■-**r**1&l out a victory by a field kick goal. Lafayette
was unable to score, although playing a strong defensive game.
MINNESOTA Minnesota had been MINNESOTA
CHICAGO gaining ground all the WISCONSIN
w v wv season, while Chicago *wi«wwrwic«
and Wisconsin, too, for that matter, seemed hopelessly riding for a fall. Neither of these games, therefore, offered any especial in- terest, as they were too one-sided, Minnesota being far and away too strong for either of the rival teams, defeating Chicago 24 to 0 and Wisconsin 28 to 0.

Review of the Western Conference Season of 1910
By Walter H. Eckersall.
Not since the rules were changed so radically in 1905-06 has the Central West enjoyed such a successful foot ball season as the one which has just passed into history, and no more fitting climax could be conceived than the game in which Michigan lowered the colors of Minnesota in a contest which was featured by bitterly fought and spectacular playing throughout.
All during the season the teams in the Conference and Michigan, which withdrew from the organization in 1906, played a brand of foot ball which was exceedingly interesting, and games were won by use of plays made possible by the modifications of the rules, which resulted in the forward pass being made one of the most important factors in foot ball. It is not necessary to add that all these games were won on their merits, with only one possible exception, but as results stand, as far as the relative merits of the contenders in all branches of athletic competition are concerned, it is not necessary in this article to make excuses cr allowances for results of any contests.
It has been the contention of most followers of foot ball that if the present rules were allowed to stand long enough the various coaches gradually would advance the game to a scientific basis, where it would be every bit as interesting as the old style. The main fault with the game in this section, that is, considering it from the spec- tators' standpoint, concerned the constant changing of rules, which deprived the average layman of learning them intelligently enough to get an idea of what was going on and what the different penalties were levied for. So many alterations have been made in the forward pass that the average follower of the popular college sport has been unable to keep track of the different rules and intelligently under- stand the code which governs a play, which has become a great factor in foot ball.
Among the Conference colleges, a situation existed which was per- plexing, and the title of Conference champion could not be awarded to one institution without offending the other. Minnesota and Illinois went through the season without a defeat by a Conference eleven, although the Gophers were humbled in their last match, which was the most important of the season. Illinois met and defeated some of the strongest elevens in the Conference, and although some of its games were won through the ability of one player to kick goals from the field, the fact remains that Illinois was victorious in every contest and certainly deserved all the honor and credit which can be bestowed upon it.
Minnesota met and defeated Chicago decisively, and this was the only team that Illinois met which played Minnesota. The Gophers won from the Maroons by a larger score than Illinois, but it would be unfair to rank teams by the comparative score basis, and the only just means of ranking these powerful elevens is to place them on even terms for the Conference title. Illinois had its most successful season since 1895, and in the intervening years the Orange and Blue elevens have met with disastrous defeats, while on the other hand they have played some very close contests, but in none of these

instances has a single excuse been heard from the home of the State university.
It was this true spirit of sportsmanship which has won for Illinois a warm place in the hearts of Western followers of collegiate ath- letics, and it seemed only fair to such a team to award it what was justly due. Illinois had a good team, one which was stronger defen- sively than offensively, and it would have taken an eleven with a mighty powerful attack to have scored upon the down-staters. In the Conference, Illinois met and defeated Chicago, Indiana, North- western and Purdue, while Syracuse was defeated in a close game and Drake and James Millikin taken into camp by decisive scores.
As Illinois played four Conference games and Minnesota met only two institutions in the organization, Illinois was all the more deserv- ing of an even break in the ranking. Minnesota won easily from Chicago and Wisconsin, but the latter institutions were represented by their weakest elevens in years. The Gophers had a powerful aggregation, one which would have been a worthy opponent for any team in the country. Minnesota was represented by players who combined weight with sreed, and it had such a varied assortment of plays that only a wide-awake and powerful defense could successfully cope with its onslaughts.
Another Conference institution which was represented by an excep- tionally strong eleven, one which was considered to be the strongest in the' history of the institution, was Indiana. Under the tutelage of Coach James M. Sheldon, the Hoosiers formed an aggregation which was nearly the equal of any in the Western organization, and in one of its most important games (the one with Illinois), Sheldon's eleven went down in defeat by virtue of a single goal kick from the toe of Otto Seiler, who won three games for the Orange and Blue eleven by the same means.
Indiana had a team composed mostly of veterans with two years' experience, and it had one of the best open and versatile attacks of any team in the West. The forward pass was employed in all con- tests for good gains and the players had mastered this play to a fine point of perfection. Sheldon had several individual players who lielped the team considerably in its most important games, but it was not so much the individualism as it was superb team playing that brought about Indiana's successful season.
Chicago, Wisconsin and Purdue were represented by teams below their standards, while Northwestern and Iowa made better showings than in any year since the new rules were adopted. Lack of material was responsible more than anything else for the poor showing of the Maroons, Badgers and Boilermakers, while the Purple and Hawkeye institutions should be represented by even better elevens this coming season. In this connection it is necessary to state that both of the latter colleges were coached by new men in Western foot ball circles, Hammett having charge at Northwestern and Hawley at Iowa.
Michigan's absence from Conference competition was missed just the same as in years since it withdrew, and although the Wolverines' game with Minnesota afforded followers of foot ball a chance to see these powerful aggregations combat with each other, the absence of games with. Chicago and Wisconsin was felt, and it will take a long time to restore the interest in foot ball which has waned since Michigan pulled away from the Conference, at the expense of which teams it has won its country-wide athletic reputation.
Since it has withdrawn from the Conference Michigan's athletic teams have been competing in different sections of the country with a lot of success, and as long as successful seasons can be experienced by meeting athletic teams outside of the Conference, it is doubtful if the Wolverines ever will submit to Conference rulings and return to

the fold. For two years, Michigan has defeated Minnesota in foot ball, the first time in 1909, when the Gophers were acknowledged to be Conference champions, and last year, when Minnesota was one of the strongest in the organization. In 1909 Michigan won from Penn- sylvania and last year held the Quakers to a tie score, when Penn was acknowledged to have one of the strongest elevens in the East.
Last season Michigan had one of the most versatile attacks of any eleven in the country, and it was the variation of the Wolverine offense which was responsible for its tie game with Pennsylvania and its victory over Minnesota. With a line which was well able to take care of any plays sent at it, Coach Yost was in a position to arrange his defense so that almost any kind of plays sprung by opposing elevens were checked without continuous gains.
Against Pennsylvania, Michigan presented an almost impenetrable stone wall, and time after time the hard driving Quakers were tackled with such force that the runner was knocked back instead of coming forward a yard or two, as is generally the case. This, happened not only once but many times, while the Wolverine forwards had so much charge and dash in their work that Penn was not able to gain consistently by use of hammering formations. In this memorable contest the superb kicking of quarter-back Scott of Pennsylvania was one of the Easterners' strongest points, and the peculiar manner in which this player drove the ball down the field and away from the Michigan players who were back to receive the oval, was one of the numerous plays which Penn depended upon for an ultimate victory.
Several times during the battle Pennsylvania recovered the ball on Scott's kicks, so proficient were the Quakers in following the ball, but in this department of the game they did not have much on the Western players, who followed the oval with unerring accuracy and, like their worthy opponents, they recovered the ball several times on Thomson's kicks. Each eleven had one or more chances to win from the other, but fate had destined the game to result in a scoreless tie, and no matter how hard those warriors tried to win for their respec- tive institutions, their efforts were unavailing, and when the final whistle blew, each eleven thought it had outplayed the other, but the consensus of opinion among unbiased critics was that Michigan had the better of the stubbornly-fought battle.
Elated over their showing against the strong Pennsylvania eleven, the Wolverines boarded the train that night for Ann Arbor, where, on the following Saturday, they were to give battle to Minnesota, a team which had swept everything before it in decisive manner, one which many persons thought would win from Michigan. In the week before that game, Coach Yost evolved plays, worked them up to a high point of proficiency, and, when they were used in the game, they worked with clock-like precision.
Almost on the eve of that great battle Michigan was compelled to leave one of its star players, full-back Thomson, out of the game because of a technicality, as Thomson was a special student and a Conference rule prohibited the playing of such men. Michigan with- out a murmur substituted Lawton. Thus Yost was compelled to make a shift at the last minute, and Lawton was awarded the position and the added responsibility of doing all the kicking.
All season Yost had sent scouts to watch Minnesota in action. During the week which preceded the game Michigan was drilled to etop the Gopher formations, which were taught to the scrubs who were sent against the 'varsity eleven in scrimmage. A special defense was evolved for every offensive which Minnesota sprung, with the (result that the Gophers were unable to make consistent headway. Allowances must be made for the fact that Minnesota traveled a long way to play the game, while Michigan had the benefit of playing on

Its own field and before its own following, who flocked to Ann Arbor from all sections of the West.
The secret of Michigan's ability to cope successfully with Minne- sota's offensive tactics was the peculiar defense which Yost had taught his linemen. It will be remembered that Minnesota had a peculiar formation, in which the tackles were pulled out of their positions and stationed back of the line. When a signal was given these tackles would shift to one side or the other and the play invariably was sent on the strong side. Instead of allowing his line- men time to set themselves, as is generally the case, Yost had his forwards stand up and watch the tackles all the time. When it was seen to which side these tackles were going to shift, the Michigan line would shift a position and then assume its defensive plan. In this way most of Minnesota's plays were checked, although several were successful for good gains. The fact that quarter-back McGovern was used as a sort of shifting player did not worry Michigan, as the players had a good idea who was going to carry the ball, and the Wolverine defensive strength was concentrated on this player.
After the game the Michigan scouts said that Minnesota's offensive playing was little different from what had been used all season, and it was not until Michigan registered its score that the Gophers tried a single forward pass. On the other hand the Wolverines tried several, some of which were successful, but there was a vast differ- ence between the tactics of the two elevens.
In the first quarter Minnesota had the best of the playing, as the ball was in Michigan's territory most of the time, and in this period the Gophers scored a touchdown, but the play was not allowed. With the ball close to its goal in Michigan's possession, the punt signal was given and Lawton dropped back to boot the oval out of danger. Although the pass was perfect, Lawton must have thought he was practising or the score was about 100 to 0 in his team's favor, for he took so much time that left tackle Walker of Minnesota broke through and blocked the attempt. As the ball bounded back from his chest it struck umpire Hinkey, and then a Minnesota player took it up and ran the remaining few yards for a touchdown. Under the rule, a ball which strikes an official must be played over again, and, as a result, Minnesota's touchdown was not allowed.
The teams fought with all the physical power they possessed during the second and third quarters, and in these periods Michigan had a slight advantage. In the fourth and last session the climax came in two of the prettiest plays which possibly could be imagined and which resulted in Michigan scoring a touchdown and registering the customary goal-kick. When the period was about ten minutes old, Michigan finally took possession of the ball near the center of the field and off to one side. Then one of the plays which had been saved up as a last effort to win was signalled for. When quarter- back McMillan gave the signal, right end Wells dropped back about eight or ten yards from his position. The other end, Borleske, adjusted himself so that he could get out in the open without being molested, while the backs formed a peculiar position. It was a deceptive-looking formation and the ball passed through at least three pairs of hands before it finally was passed to Wells, who threw it down the field to Borleske.
By making a grand running leap and turning half way around, Borleske caught the oval at a point eighteen yards in advance of where it was put in play. Without a bit of hesitation and before some of the Minnesota .players knew what was coming off, the same play again was executed successfully. Borleske, after catching the oval, made a gallant effort to place it over the line, but he was stopped on the four-vard mark and about ten yards from the side line.
At this point Wells, whom Yost claimed ^s the best line plunger
SPALDING'S OFFICIAL FOOT BALL GUIDE. 6S
he ever saw, was pulled back from the end position to full-back and sent against the heavy Gopher line on the strong side of the field. His first attempt did not net any material gain, but the foot ball knowledge of Michigan was demonstrated on the next play, when Wells was sent through on the weak side, the one nearest the side line, and he planted the oval over the coveted chalk line, the touch- down spelling defeat for Minnesota and victory for Michigan. Conklin kicked the goal which made the score 6 to 0 in favor of Michigan.
Even after Michigan had this advantage Minnesota made a noble effort to tie the count by trying all the forward passes and trick plays which the team had been taught, but the Wolverines were not to be caught napping, and they either intercepted these forward passes or foiled the trick plays. Time was called shortly afterward and pandemonium reigned in the popular college town.
But in those minutes of happiness the defeated warriors were not forgotten, and many a cheer was given for the gallant Gopher war- riors who tried so hard to uphold the honor and glory of the Old Gold and Maroon university.
By this victory Michigan was proclaimed the champion of the West, but the fact that Illinois did not lose a game must be given consideration. Michigan had a powerful aggregation, one which was equally strong offensively and defensively, and the brand of foot ball which it played in its most important games entitles the Wolverines to be ranked among the strongest elevens in the country. The Wolverines played peculiar foot ball early in the season. The strength of the defense was apparent at all times, but for some reason the offense did not work with the perfection which means success. Case and Ohio State held Michigan to 3 to 3 scores, while the Michigan Agricultural College eleven gave Yost's eleven an awful scare, Michigan finally winning by a 6 to 3 count.
But the team came back when everybody wanted it to, and it was improving the day after the Pennsylvania game. Individually and collectively it was a strong eleven, and it had some linemen who were the most versatile of any forwards who ever played the game in this section. The backs were fast and speedy, with the necessary power in their ground-gaining attempts to make some distance when opposition was met.
Captain Benbrook and Wells, the right end, were selected by Walter Camp, who is considered to be the dean of American college foot ball critics, for his All-America eleven, it being the second con- secutive time that he has so honored Benbrook. Camp spoke well of the prowess of these players, but he did not fail to note the ability of another Western player who has been a star ever since he donned the moleskins. Walker of Minnesota was honored with one of the tackle positions, while Butzer of Illinois and McG.overn of Minnesota were others whose playing during the season won favorable comment from the noted authority.
B3fore rating the Conference elevens, the playing of the other teams in this section entitles them to mention. The Michigan "Aggies" played consistently throughout the season and rightfully are entitled to the minor college championship of the Central West. Wabash College was represented with a powerful team, but was forced to discontinue the game in the middle of the season, owing to the unfor- tunate death of one of its players. Lake Forest, Illinois Wesleyan, Beloit and Lawrence were represented by elevens worthv of favorable comment.
As stated before in this article, Minnesota and Illinois are placed on even terms for the Conference title, because each completed its Conference schedule without a defeat, although the consensus of opinion at the close of the season was that the Gophers were the stronger aggregation.

Indiana is placed third in the rating, because it lost only one game in the Conference race, the defeat being suffered at the hands of Illinois through a goal-kick. The Hoosiers played hard, consistent foot ball throughout the season, and the eleven was well versed in all departments and rudiments of the game. After making several assertions to retire from active coaching, James H. Sheldon again has been influenced to take charge of the foot ball situation at Bloom- ington, and, although his prospects for a strong eleven this season are not as bright as last, Jimmy believes he will have a team which, will be a worthy opponent for any aggregation in the Conference.
Wisconsin is awarded fourth position by virtue of its victory over Chicago in the last game of the season for both teams. The Badgers, with innumerable obstacles to overcome, did as well as any eleven could be expected to do in the face of such handicaps. Coach Tom Barry, with only mediocre material and a few veterans, developed a team which came with bounds before Chicago was met. On the pre- ceding Saturday Wisconsin was given an overwhelming defeat by Minnesota, but the game seemed to do the team a lot of good, for it fought the Maroons with a desperation and determination which could not be denied.
The Badgers lost two games to Conference college elevens, Indiana and Minnesota winning from them, while Northwestern held them to a scoreless tie. During the season Wisconsin was allowed to play only five games, while this year the factulty has removed the ban and the eleven will be permitted to schedule seven contests. Coach Tom Barry again will tutor the team and brighter prospects for a. stronger eleven are entertained at Madison.
Chicago, which was represented by one of the weakest elevens fin the history of the institution, is placed next in the list. It would be hard to conceive of a coach facing such a situation as the one which confronted Stagg at the beginning of last season. With only eighteen eligible players to pick an eleven, part of which, would not be allowed! to make the scrub squad at any other university, Stagg bent to his task with relentless persistency, and finally developed an eleven which was better than even the most optimistic Maroon thoiag&t possible.
Northwestern is awarded sixth place because it won from Iowa, but it cannot be placed any higher in the rating because it lost to Chicago and was defeated by Illinois. Iowa is given seventh pliaiee and Purdue was put at the bottom of the list.
In closing this article it seems important to mention some of tfte changes which the Conference committee, composed of faculty reprsv sentatives, adopted at its annual meeting held in Chicago last December. A rule was passed unanimously forbidding any Confer- ence athletic team to engage in contests with teams representing another institution which was a member of the organization and then withdrew. It readily can be seen that this ruling forever puts an end to Michigan's competition with Conference athletic teams unless the Wolverines return to the fold.
It also was decided to forbid Conference base ball and foot ball teams in engaging in contests with those not representing universities or colleges in this section. This puts a stop to intersectional con- tests, and in passing this rule the committee thought more interest would be added to the sport in this section of the country.
Another rule was passed making it imperative for every Conference foot ball team to play at least four games with other Conference elevens during the season, and it further was agreed to make this movement rotary as far as possible, so that in the course of time each foot ball aggregation will meet every other team in the organization.

Foot Ball in the Middle States
By George W. Orton, University of Pennsylvania.
The season of 1910 in the Middle States was a banner one from a foot ball standpoint, as there were many teams in this section play- ing the game up to a very high standard. Though Pennsylvania and Princeton are taken up more fully by the editor of this book, Walter Camp, in his chapter on the so-called "big" colleges, it is only right that we should remark upon their respective strength. Despite the reverse by Ursinus in the first game of the season, the play of Penn- sylvania's eleven during the fall clearly entitles them to be ranked first among the Middle States colleges. In passing, it may he stated that of the team that played against Ursinus in Penn's initial game only two made the 'varsity. But the 15 to 0 victory over Brown at Providence, the 10 to 0 against State, the 17 to 5 against the Indians, the 18 to 0 against Lafayette, and the games with Michigan and Cornell, showed that the Penn coaches had developed a team of exceptional power.
Princeton's position is not so secure, though it is undoubtedly true that the Tigers had a stronger and better team than that of the previous season. The "Middies" defeated the Indians by the same score as the Princeton eleven, and their work throughout the season seems to indicate that they had a team equal in strength at least with Princeton's. The Tiger eleven was developed slowly but surely, great stress being laid on the defense, the result of this being shown in their work during the season, as the lone five points made by Yale were the only points against Princeton s during the whole fall.
Barring the above two members of the "Big Six," with which this chapter treats only incidentally, the honor of leading the other col- leges of the Middle States should go to the Navy. They were devel- oped very much as Princeton was, with great attention paid to the defense. Here, again, results proved the wisdom of this, for not a single point was scored against the Navy during the year. When it is considered that they met such good teams as Washington and Jefferson, Western Reserve, Lehigh, New York University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, New York University and the Carlisle Indians without being scored on, it then does not seem so surprising that they withstood all the assaults of the strong Army team, and finally defeated them, 3 to 0. In Dalton, the Navy produced one of the best offensive and defensive half-backs of the season, while he was also valuable through his accurate punting.
It is practically impossible to choose between the next three teams — Lafayette, Carlisle and Pittsburg, but if it were necessary to make a definite choice, I would place them in the order just given. Lafayette had a team of undoubted strength, as they held Princeton to a 3 to 0 score, and, in fact, gave the Tigers several scares during the afternoon. In the Penn game the Easton players were put to rout by the unexpectedly strong attack uncovered by the Quakers, and the score, 18 to 0, hardly showed the true strength of Lafayette. But victories over Ursinus, Swarthmore, Gettysburg, Bucknell and Lehigh, with the final slaughter of Dickinson by 41 to 0, should give Lafayette a real claim of the leadership of the Pennsylvania colleges at lea&t. The unfortunate injury to Lafayette's great full-back, Conover, early in the season weakened the Eastonians, but Captain Foresman, iDanonhouer and Woodcock showed that they were close to

All-America form in their respective positions. Danonhouer shone throughout the season as a handler of punts and runner in the open field.
Coach Warner of the Carlisle Indians deserves great credit for the strong team that he developed last year, as but three 'varsity men were available for the team at the beginning of the season. Out of new material he developed an eleven that made a good showing against some of the strongest teams in the country. Carlisle played many games outside of Pennsylvania, but her victories over Villanova, Dickinson, Bucknell, Gettysburg, and the high standard of play shown against Princeton, Pennsylvania, Annapolis, etc., proved that the Indians were to be feared as in former years. Houser's name will live long in Carlisle's annals as one of the many famous foot ball men they have developed.
Great claims have been made for the University of Pittsburg eleven, and it is rather difficult to classify them. Their claim of being the best team in Pennsylvania will hardly hold against those of Lafayette and Carlisle, but they have a clear right to the championship of Western Pennsylvania and to be ranked close up for the larger honor. Much stress is laid on their victory over Penn State, but that team was confessedly weaker than it had been for years, as their work throughout the season showed. In ranking them as high as is given here, the writer believes that he is doing Pittsburg full justice. They had the best team they have ever produced, going through the season without a defeat, and, what is more noteworthy, without a single point tallied against them.
Ursinus must be ranked next. In fact, it is a question if this college should not be placed on a par with Pittsburg. Their victory over Pennsylvania at the beginning of the season was a noteworthy achievement, even though they caught Penn unprepared. But their game against Lafayette, which they held to a 10 to 0 score, and their victories over Franklin and Marshall, Dickinson and Swarth- more, proved that the team was strong — in fact, the best that Ursinus has ever had.
It is but rarely that we find State so far down the list of Middle States colleges, hut they were not up to the form of the previous season, though they had a very good eleven. Their best work was done in the game with Bucknell, in which they played very fast ball, winning by 45 to 3. But in their final and most important contest, Pittsburg proved superior.
Of the other Pennsylvania colleges, Gettysburg had a very good year, beating out Bucknell, Dickinson and Franklin and Marshall, their real rivals. Villanova was another team that made a good showing during the season, while Franklin and Marshall, Haverford, Rutgers, Swarthmore, Dickinson and Lehigh had but fairly good elevens. In the Western part of the State, Westminster and Alle- gheny colleges ranked next to Pittsburg, with Washington and Jeffer- son and Geneva following. Washington and Jefferson was not up to the form of previous seasons.
In Maryland, Johns Hopkins was the leader, with Western Mary- land College next, while further South, Georgetown was the undis- puted champion, as they scored victories over North Carolina, Virginia Military Institute and Virginia.
As for the comparative standing of the best colleges of this section with those of other sections, it may be stated that the standard of play seemed to be of equally high grade as that shown by the New England colleges. In the ranking of the teams of the East, Lafayette, the Navy and Carlisle were placed in the first ten colleges by all the best critics, an indication that the general opinion is that these colleges rank high in Eastern college foot ball.

South Atlantic Foot Ball
By W. A. Lambeth, University of Virginia.
Great apprehension concerning the future of foot ball in this sec- tion was felt at 'the beginning of last season. Here, as everywhere, the game was on trial under the most serious indictments. Its acquittal was greeted enthusiastically by the thousands of its friends who, though partisan, felt that if radical measures were not adopted they could no longer stand in its defense. It is true, ol course, that those who had made serious study of this sport knew that the evils were not inherent in the rules or in the game, but that they were the result of the temperament of American youth. Our foot ball rules have always been more restraining, more prohibitive than the rules for similar sport in other countries. The universal success that attends all kinds of American endeavor is in a great measure due to that American trait of pushing quickly their undertakings to the very limit permitted by law or custom. So in foot ball the rule makers have for years annually engaged in shearing off the previous season's pernicious shoots which seemed to them to threaten the perfect growth of the main stem. The Rules Committee which has, for three decades, framed the laws of play, has never been unmindful of its duty and its greater responsibility. Sometimes, as one looks back- ward, it is possible to see that the committee had not promptly enough used its pruning hook upon adventitious buds of danger. Yet we must remember that the committee's responsibility did not end with mere elimination or danger, but involved the sacred duty of preserving to the youth of America one of the most powerful and useful auxiliary forces in our educational system. Those who have criticised harshly could not know how much they owe to such men as Walter Camp, who, at personal inconveniences, has given this interest the strength and value which goes with his splendid fore- sight and constructive genius. While Mr. Camp has been the central figure, he has been surrounded m by colleagues of special fitness for the task ; men who, while they loved the game and sought its perfect adaptation, always endeavored to shape its destiny with a view to making it an instrument for the advancement of educational good.
The new Rules Committee, while constantly changing its personnel, will unquestionably profit by experience and continue, each year, plac- ing restraint upon growing evils : for. with hundreds of acute-minded specialists, striving always to trim as close to the limits as possible. no set of rules can remain fixed. They must be changed each year as the evolution of the game requires.
The institutions in the South Atlantic have faith in the ability and determination of the committee to guard and direct this interest in the best possible manner.
The new rules, as operated here, were very satisfactory. The majority of the teams played up to their standard and drew back to themselves their friends and followers, who had grown lukewarm during the previous season.
St. John's, Virginia Military Institute, Davidson College, and Wash- ington and Lee, all played local as well as extra State games, adding to their prestige throughout the section. In this group Davidson, while defeating North Carolina, was later defeated by Washington and Lee. Here is one of the annual illustrations of misdirected energy. To be sure, Davidson deserves great credit for defeating

Carolina. It is, however, an example of immature athletic judgment for her to exhaust her interest and enthusiasm in preparing for that game, leaving the Washington and Lee contest, which is for Davidson athletically more important, to be played with a remnant of interest and energy. But Davidson is not the only illustration of this Southern weakness. When will the teams of this division discover their rivals and set about to play them their best games?
Washington and Lee had, on the whole, a disastrous season, which was brought to a close by an inauspicious defeat at the hands of Alabama in Birmingham. Unless it is her policy to make a fixture of this contest, it was time lost.
Virginia Military Institute, under the coaching of Gloth, improved upon the previous season, and defeated by a large score the strong St. John's team.
South Carolina fought hard with an immature and inexperienced team. While defeated in her important game, there is a feeling that she has laid by capital for another year.
Wake Forest College re-established the game this season after a lapse of many years. The work done was not sufficient to justify a prediction as to her probable future position.
The University of North Carolina ended the most disastrous season in her history, having lost both games in which her interest centered, as well as five of her preliminary games. She opened the season with a wealth of material to work with, the best that was seen at any Southern college. For some reason beyond understanding it was frittered away with her lost opportunities. The characteristic and grim determination of the Tar Heels, however, will probably make up next season for this catastrophe. Bocock, who has for two seasons demonstrated his qualifications as coach at Blacksburg, will take Brides' place at Chapel Hill next year, and this warrants a prediction of a successful season.
No team in this division has been more consistent in her rise to fame than the Agricultural and Mechanical College of North Carolina, having this year won her championship game with the Virginia Poly- technic Institute. This team has built up a strong rivalry with her Virginia competitor, and their Thanksgiving game is a rapidly growing attraction.
The Virginia Polytechnic defeated George Washington University and Washington and Lee, two teams in rivalry with her, but lost to Agricultural and Mechanical, her leading antagonist.
Georgetown, under the tutelage of Neilson and the captaincy of Daly, won her season for the first time in four years. She defeated both her rivals, Virginia and North Carolina, winning a clear cham- pionship in her series.
In the North Carolina Agricultural, the Washington and Lee and Virginia Polytechnic series, A. and M. won first place by defeating Virginia Polytechnic, which had already defeated Washington and Lee. The A. and M.-Washington and Lee game was cancelled on account of injuries to the Washington and Lee players.
The interesting and well-balanced series of games in the Eastern Virginia section, consisting of William and Mary, Richmond College, Hampden-Sidney and Randolph-Macon, was won by the latter, they having defeated the other three. Hampden-Sidney secured the second position by defeating two. In many ways this series is the pride of the State, being pursued as a continuous policy, with ethical sports- manship beyond criticism.
The Clemson-South Carolina-Davidson games were won by Clemson, she having defeated both her rivals.
The Virginia-Hopkins Alliance, which the press has told us so much about, is the cause of considerable speculation. This completes

the arrangement for all these branches of sport, and it will unques- tionably have its influence upon the South Atlantic athletic map. There have been rumors that Georgetown and Carolina are to be taken into this alliance, each playing in rounded manner two others, but each omitting to play one other each year. Such a scheme is open to strong objection, since it destroys very desirable continuity. The facts concerning the alliance are kept closely guarded for some unknown reason.
ALL-SOUTH ATLANTIC TEAM.
Bowen (Virginia) and Winston (N. C. U.), ends.
Hart (George Washington) and Geyer (Virginia), tackles.
Fitzgerald (Georgetown) and Thompson (Carolina), guards.
Bray (N. C. A. and M.), center.
Costello (Georgetown), quarter-back.
Fury (Georgetown) and Robertson (N. C. A. and M.), half-backs.
Hodgson (V. P. I.), full-back.
As usual, when attempting to select a team representative of the section, the writer wishes that there were more places to be filled in order to utilize the material at hand. While, therefore, many who deserve consideration must be left out, the team above selected comes nearer representing the strength of the section and satisfying all the demands than any combination which has suggested itself.
At right end we secure a steady and heady defensive player, and when this is coupled with his accurate and distance punting he makes what is perhaps the most valuable asset to the team named.
Hart of George Washington, while poorly supported during the season, is again given the place, for, all things considered, he and Geyer are the best tackles in the section.
Fitzgerald and Thompson are chosen for guards because of their experience, their defensive work and their inexhaustible physical powers. The Georgetown man is particularly aggressive, and Thomp- son is a safe man in his position.
Bray of N. C. A. and M. is selected as center, and, while not a brilliant man in this position, he is better than any other, unless it be Holiday of Virginia.
Costello of Georgtown would be a treasure on any team. His goal-kicking would make him worthy were he shorn of many of his other splendid accomplishments. He was the biggest of Georgetown's assets in their biggest game. Clean dodging in the open, clean handling of punts, and his quick intellectual mastery of crucial situa- tions mark him as a modern quarter.
Fury is placed at left half because of his swiftness, combined with quick starting and great speed when under way.
Robertson of N. C. A. and M. is the only selection which the writer has not seen, but having been universally chosen for this position by those who have seen his work, he is chosen as Fury's running mate.
For full-back there is only one choice. While Hodgson has hardly had a competitor, this does not mean that he would not be chosen if he had, for he is a good defensive man and a plunging full-back for steady gains.
