ale S50 Hew
Division Into Four Periods Criti
cized as Unpopular With Spec
tators Return to Rulea
Before ltOS Favored.
Football rule changes announced by
the National Intercollegiate rules com
mittee on Saturday do not meet with
favor In Portland. Local football pu
thorities and players who have been
connected with the game for many
years are almost unanimous in brand
ins the changes as a compromise which
is at once Ineffectual and destructive
of the game. That the game will suffer
both from the viewpoint of the spec
tator and the player Is the general
opinion. One football authority de
nounces some of the proposed changes
as ridiculous, and the beginning of the
end of the game is foreseen la the
sweeping changes which have been an
nounced. The older players did not take kindly
to the changes. The general opinion
vouched is that the changes add to the
danger of play, rather than take from
It. The Innovations are called illogical,
unnecessary and unsatisfactory.
Old Game Preferred.
"Give us back the old game; the game
as she was played in lu4 and 1905 be
fore they put in these many changes,"
was the sentiment expressed among t
pigskin fans at the Multnomah Club
yesterday. Even Rugby or soccer would
be better than the shade of the Ameri
can game whloh has been left, said
some.
'I think they have mixed the game
up so that It is ruined," said Frank
Watkins, for many years the manager
of the football teams at the Multnomah
Club. "Many of these changes strike
me as silly. The aim seems to be at
more open play. Well, open play means
danger, for there is where a man gets
the most severe bumps. The mass play
looks bad to the spectators, but it Is
not there the man Is hurt.
"I am sorry the rules committee did
not eliminate the forward pass while
they were about it. It was a serious mis
take to put It in in the first place. That
is where the danger is. The runner is
unprotected all the time after getting
the pass and then, too, the pass makes
the game fluky, and that's bad for any
game. I'm glad if they cut down the
penalty for the pass, however, as that
has been too severe.
"The 20-yard rule for the onside play
simply eliminates that part of the game.
If the ball must be kicked 20 yards It
will be punted outright and will not be
recovered. The ends cannot go down
on a kick of much over 20 yards, and
have a fair chance of recovering the
ball.
Game Is for Strong Slen.
"The old game suited me best. I liked
the game of making five yards in three
downs. Then it was a game with big
strong men. Now It Is a game allowing
the little fellow who has no business In
football to play. Football is a game for
strong, husky men. I belong to the old'
school and so liked the old game the
game of 1904 and 1906.
"The rule about pushing and pulling
the runner and otherwise cutting down
the interference is bad, as it makes the
runner go it alone. He must protect
himself now where before he was
guarded. The rule placing seven men
on the line of scrimmage ought to prove
good, as should the rule allowing a quar
terback to run anywhere through the
line of scrimmage.
"The rule changing -the length of the
playing periods to 16 minutes is not of
any use, and the rule allowing an In
jured man to return in a subsequent pe
riod Is, it appears to me, dangerous. The
American tendency Is to play until a man
is practically gone. Under this rule he
will retire when Injured, recover partially
and then want to go back in the game,
and in his weakened condition receive
what may be permanent injury.
"It's an e.itirely different game now.
It Is more like basketball, and while the
game may be more open under the new
rules. It will not be popular with the pub
lic, as there Is not enough fight, and
in eliminating some of the dangers I fear
tney have also eliminated the game."
Danger Not Lessened.
George McMillan, the dean of foot
ball in Portland, who has played al
most every season since 1892 in the
fastest of company, deplores the
changes. Mr. McMillan said:
"I do not think the changes will work
out logically. I fall to see where the
danger would be lessened. The rule
affecting the snapperback is not effec
tive in lessening the danger. It simply
means more open play and open play
means danger. The rule concerning the
seven men . on the line of scrimmage
is of little effect, and the flying tackle
rule is of no force, as not In one case
In 60 does a tackier leave his feet In
making a taokle. . The method of playing-
the defense will have to be im
proved upon In order to offset the rule
allowing the first man taking the ball
to run In any direction with It, but
the game is not hurt there.
"The old onside kick rule was good
for the game and the elimination does
not help any. But that rule shortening
the playing period to 15 minutes is
ridiculous. No one wants short halves.
The spectators certainly will not wel
come such a change, and the players
want to keep on playing. No man was
ever hurt by playing 35 minutes. The
idea or letting an injured man come
back, however, strikes me as s-nnii.
That has been found feasible In Rugby
and soccer for ages.
"They can modify the game all they
wish, but they cannot eliminate the
element of physical danger. That is why
me game is so interesting, but the dan
ger to a trained eleven is not more than
In soccer or Rugby, and locally there
have been more Injuries in soccer than
there have in the intercollegiate game.
"I am glad the forward pass was left in
the game. That was an Interesting addi
tion, although I am glad if they reduce
the penalties, as those have been ex
treme."
Change Called Death Warrent.
Plowden Stott, ex-captaln of the Milt
nomah team, a star at both the intercol
legiate and Rugby games at Stanford, and
one of the best field generals the North
west ever produced, brands the changes
as the death warrant of American foot
ball.
"They have mixed up everything." said
Mr. Stott. "The game was already too
complicated, and now It is more so. These
changes, which are in effect a compro
mise, ar an acknowledgment of the
weaknesses which have been brought

about by the changes of the last few
years. I liked the old game as played in
1904 and 1906. I never liked the forward
pass, for that is where a man is injured
most. I've been hurt more there than
anywhere else.
"What to do I do not know. I think
they would better cut out football and
build an entirely new game, rather than
murder the old game. Those compromise
rules were arranged by a. lot of Eastern
ers, and we of the Coast did not have a
word to say. I think that If the West
had had an opportunity to vote. It would
have stuck to the old five-yard game.
Down In California we took Rugby rather
than the ghost of football left by the ten
yard system and forward pass.
"Two-thirds of the men do not know
the rules now, and it is getting so that a
person is afraid to do anything for fear
of a penalty. That spoils the fun of
playing.
Another old-time player who denounced
the changes is Floyd J. Cook, who played
fullback for the club in 1902 and 1903, and
has been, spectator at the Rugby games
In California. .
Essentials Now Left Out.
'Football is a dead issue from a spec
tator's standpoint now." said he. "The
new rules seem to drive at the essentials
of the American game. The idea of at
tempting to prevent the flying tackle IS
preposterous. A man can't stop his op
ponent and say, 'Pardon me, I'm going
to tackle yoii' He Bimply must tackle
the man and keep him from scoring at
times. I fail to see the necessity of di
viding the game into four periods. It
takes away from the spectacular effect,
as in fact do the greater part of the pro
posed changes. The spectators must be
considered. I think spectators and play
ers would agree alike that the most sat
isfactory game was the old five-yard
game, before the rules began to be
changed."
Virorll D. Earl, professor and football
coach at the Washington High School,
believes that a reform has been attained
by the rules but expresses a fear that
they may go too far. ,
"I liked the old game better, dui x am
of the opinion the committee must know
its business and Is really eliminating the
danger," said Professor Earl. "1 ran
to note any special advantage in cnang
lng the length of the halves. I do not
like the proposal to bring the ends in on
defense. That would result in too much
scoring and would make it possible for
a team with a fast back to score at will.
The game should be better for high school
students under the new rules."
Rugby More Satisfactory.
A comDromise. pure and simple," said
Professor James Ewing, of the Portland
Academy. "I doubt the possibility of
reforming the American game without
doing away with it entirely. Rugby I
have never seen, but from all accounts
it appears to be satisfactory in California
and at least is not resulting in sweeping
changes every year. I cannot say that
the rules will help the game for younger
players, as they haven t .been hurt a
great deal at any rate. I do not favor
the idea of allowing an injured man w
re-enter the game. It is a compromise
rule which will prove hard to enforce. It
will be abused right along, wnne tnere
are many points which I favor In the
changes, as a rule the movement Is a
step toward the elimination or lootDau.
Marlon Dolph. a former Eastern col
legiate star and later fullback for the
Multnomah Club, ravored tne cnanges.
and said that while the old players one
and all seemed to favor the old rules, the
game was being Improved.
"I think the game is being Improved
right along for the spectators. If not for
the players," said Mr. Dolph. "Where
the new rules eliminate danger, I cannot
see but the forward pass and other rules
all tend toward making the game open
and that the spectators will like. As a
rule I favor the changes which have been
made, but until I have studied the new
rules more thoroughly I cannot say
whether they tend to cut down the danger
of. Injury"-"

Jockey Club officials are predicting a
splendid season, a sort of rejuvenation
from the plight that fell on it over the
passage of the anti-bcttlng laws two sea

Paraphrasing the words of a well

be made, any person caught registering
a bet will be "given the gate," and the

A New Departure
The cost of interments have been
greatly reduced by the Holman
Undertaking Company.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for
all incidentals connected with a fu
neral. The Edward Holman Undertak
ing Company, the leading funeral di
rectors of Portland, have departed from
that custom. When casket is furnished
by us we make no extra charges for
embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside
box or any services that may be re
quired of us, except clothing, cemetery
and carriages, thus effecting a saving
of S26 to 75 on each funeral.
