TII2 OREGOII DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVEtTINO, AUGUST C, . UZX Harvard's Head Coach Writes About Ethical . and rTechnidal f Features of - Recently -' Adopted. Gridiron Regulations v Br WUllim T. Ritd Jr. , Ths general public has elwaya takan ft mat latcrtat la tha football rulaa aa 7 the? bars been promulgated from eea ' f aon to eeaaon. but It la probably aafa to , aay tbat not for years haa It ahown such a keen Interest In them as at praaant - This unusual intaraat la due. In, soma ' '' meaaura to tha scathing academic criti cism to which football .has been eub , Jected, but mora especially to tha su, anerous ravlalona and Innovatlona which bar been mads in tha playing rulaa. Thesa ravlalona and Innovatlona, It - will ba remembered, are of two kinds those dealing with tha athtcal aids of tha . vama and thoaa affecting Us technique. '. Tha formar war f run ad with vlaw to ' : putting an and to brutality and unfair plar. whila tha lattar wars adopted with ' ; tha Idea of lessening mass plays and of opening tP the game.. Just how far thesa changes will go In effecting tha desired reform or what aort of gams thla legislation as a whola will produce Is of necessity largely conjectural, but bearing In mind tha lessons and expe ' Hence of tha past and certain underly ing prlnclplea which have always la , financed tha development of tha game, .aome very definite conclusions can be reached. ., - ' The w Blase. ' . Briefly, tha legislation affecting tha ethical aide of tha game may be sum marised as follows: Tha rules have been made more ' definite; another of ficial has been added: all officials are Mtnwr to penalise foul play; tha penalties havebecn Increased! the word-1 tag of tha rulaa baa been suppiementea . by the addition of 19 illustrations calcu lated to secure a mora , uniform en forcement of the rules: hurdling has' . been limited; protection la afforded . nl.v.ra vVm ra Mnnlffal fa handle tha ball while In defenaeleea poaltlona; tha opportunity for mean play along tha rush lines has been reduced by keeping the two lines farther apart: foul play la penalised by disqualification and loaa of distance instead . by loss of distance alone; many provisions have been made Tor opening up tha game and making It mora visible: the recommendation baa been mada that pier era disqualified for foul play twice la tha same season shall " not be permitted to play, again for one year; and finally, a central board on of ficials has been appointed to help la se curing better officials and a mora ant form, courageous and strict Interpreta tion of the rules. ' - - Based on theaa provisions, it la my opinion that .everything haa been dona that can be dona by rule to clean up tha praaant (ana By this, I do not mean to aay that there will never ba any more ' mean or ... brutal playing that Would ba absurd, for as long aa football . remains a game of personal contact and snoca ecrion mere Are dvbiw vw vm di vidual lapses la temper and fairness, but 1 do maintain that under the new 1 rules tha objectionable features ahould be reduced to a minimum. The rules are .clear. It Is for the coaches, trainers and Slavers to abide by them In letter and in epirn ana or uie puouc w in uj m officials and with them to create a sen timent that will not tolerate shady work of anv aort. Turning now to tha technical side of the game, we find ourselves conrromeq with a bewildering mass ox nsw legisia t tton. Thla Includes tha 10-yard rule, tha varied legislation affecting tha five can ter positions of tha offensive, rush Una, the forward pass, the on-slda kick, and . finally, tha restrictions on hurdling, tackling and tha Interlocking of legs. . ' Opening Vy Chuaa. ' ' Glancing through this list ws are struck ny ins racx xnai wnue sui uw provisions deal with tha problem of opening op tha game, aoma of them ap proach It indirectly; that Is to say, thsy ' seek to encourage a mora open game by discouraging mass formation Of thla . type tha It-yard rule la eaally tha most 1 lmDOrtant Indeed it seems to mo that it is unquestionably tha most Important slnaie niece of legislation tbat has been paaaed this year. This Is of course a very sweeping assertion, but I believe It la fully warranted by tha fact that of all tha ehangee which have been pro posed with a view to eradication of the evils of the game thla Is tha only one 'Which aocornpllehee Its especial function without In any way cramping tha devel 1 cement of the game aa a whola. To 11 " lustrate. It was proposed, ar a means of reducing mass play, to require tha of fenslvs backs to stand at least five ' yards behind tha rush line and on a Una parallel to It This plan, it will ba reaauy inn, wqun uimouiivniir m had the desired result, but It would also have don the game aa almost incal culable Injury by limiting the posslblll--. ties of offense to such aa extent that ' there would be little opportunity for variation, , and . consequently small chanoa for tha use of ingenuity, which at tha present time forms ons of the moat fascinating features of ths sport. Liooklng now at the 16-yard proposi tion wa see that It too, prevents mass 1 plsy, and yet that It allows the playera ' to stand where they pleaaa and to adopt any style of game that tha chooee, pro vided only that they meet the one main requirement that of gaining IS yards ' In three downe; or. In other worda, of ' somehow making twloe aa much distance In three attempts aa they have ever be- fore bean called upon to make. In short tha 10-yard rule . foreaa you to reach a given end. but, leavea you to .your own device; while the other plan - In forcing you to tha same snd pre scribes tha method and allows of no al ternative, " ' ' The 10-yard rule was paaaed to de crease maaa play. There are many who claim that thla ruld will not be effective, maintaining that tha forward peas and the onslds kick will so weakaa the de fense that mass plays will be need as ....... mm w These una nereona are ready to admit however, that with the old defense Intsct It would be practically " Impossible to- make -the- plays-wlth-any degree of success. In disagreeing with thoaa who take the nmmt I am nulte read V to admit that while It Is quite probable that we ehs.ll see tsams msklng their 10 yards by mass play occasionally, I am not will Ing to admit that they will be able to do It consecutively enough to warrant them " lii" adopting ai TITa -a-backbone f their offense. My reasons for feeling thla way are as follows: ., Beffsrdiag aCaee Flay, in ret Mass play of tha modem type was first Introduced In 1M0 by Tale. In the years between 1W0 and Mut this mass play reached Its highest state of develop, ment si nee during that time the offense wss practically unlimited as to the num Vr of men which might be brought be hind tha line, and yet with all tha power . . .w... M.-kt . vx t V, 1 t n la. esrehle It was found Impossible to devise plays which, aralnat teams of squal strength, could be counted upon to yield much mere than two yards og tha average. Orantlng tha fact that under the 10-yard rule the average gala per rash would only have to ba Increased ons yard, and granting that a weaker de (jaso wlii oonlrlb.it teward. (Ala ,la-l crease. I still do not think that It aaa be consecutively accomplished,' for any team which attempts It must overcome a number of handicaps which are almost certain to be Incurred during the prog ress of ths ball over any considerable distance. - If, for Instance, 'we conalder. tha possibilities of fouls or the lost of dis tance that might be sustained In a given down through a fumble or tha successful efforts of ths opponents to check the play, ws find that ths average distance per. down -increases in an overwhelming measure. For example, if. after having mada a first down, a team on tha first rush of ths nsxt down fumbles but re tains ths bail at tha aame spot that team must la each of Its two successive tries avers re five yards; la other words, suoh a team wou(d have , to make as much In a single rush -as tesms of ths paat year-or so have been attempting to make In three rushes. ' It must be ad mitted In this connection that our very best teams when playing against thslr equals have seldom been able to carry tha ball more than M yards at the outside without a fumble or check, which' has resulted In forcing a kick or soma trick play by which It la hoped that the loat distance may ba recovered. This same risk will prevail nest fall, but tha pen alty will ba even greater, therefore It seems to me that no team can hope to carry tha ball-down tha field successfully by maaa play alone. Second Again, svsn If It be admitted that in tha middle of the field the weak ening of thedefense will permit of a successful advance by msss play, it hard to see how the same style of rams csabs successful within tha 10-yard tin,', for It aeems probable that within thla space -It will be possible for ths defensive side to utilise the same de fense as heretofore. Thla seema likely. since there will be so little territory be hind the defensive Una In which; the on slds kick or forward pass may ba at tempted that It will be unnecessary to polios this district aa heavily as would be the case in mldfleld where the spec to be protected was mufh larger la a word. It aeema quite probable that only one maa wlu ba necessary, or two at tha most, for, a successful backfleld protection at thla point thereby leaving tha other two or three backs, aa the case may be, to resume their old posi tions olose behind the line. If they are anything like as effective as they have heretofore been,- If Is hard to see how the offenalve team can hope to make the 10 yards. If this argument ba granted then, at any rate, ' masa play will be Impossible as a regular thing In soma 09 yards of a playing field wboss total length la 110 ysrds; certainly this will change tha game In soma aspects. Third Agaln,Mf It ba admitted that It will ba harder to make 10 yards In thro downs than It was to, make f lve yards In three downs, then H must also bo ad mitted that tha ball will change bands oftener. This being tha case, the value of possession,-which has heretofore in fluenced the . adoption of maaa play because It waa realised to ba poor pol icy under moat conditions to 1st 'ths other teem hsve tha ball, since If they got It It would be a serious question aa on aa I tlt-tli tlt-b -t much I to when it would be recovered w less. 'This fact will make a team more ready to lose the bsll than hereto fore, and. therefore, much more ready te try more risky . plays, thereby en couraging a recourse to ths forward pass and to. trick, plays, which have been avoided hitherto because of the danger of fumbles. .Ths reason that such plays have not been adopted heretofore la because football since Its Inception has always developed toward the conserve tive. Long paases have always been allowable, and yet have not often been persistently tried since such passes have coma to ba regarded la much tha aame light as speculation In business, where the profit Is great If tha venture la suc cessful, and where the loaa Is corre spondingly great In case of failure: whereas, short passes have usually been adopted, alnce they,- like conservative in vestments, are calculated to yield a mall out aura gaina in brief, the chance of success In the variable and more open game, as opposed to the rigid cloee for mation games, has heretofore been too uncertain to bo worth taking.. -Mow. however. If the 10-yard rule succeeds In putting a stop to this conservative style oc piay. wa are quite likely to see more opea plays attempted with greater fre quence. fourth Another point which It aeems to me la worth considering Is this: Granting tha claim that a given team will be able to make 10 yards In three downs by maaa play, It must ba ad mitted that there will of necessity be less resistance to the plays In ths rush Una, owing, of course, to the weakness of the defense. Aa a result tha of fense will not be met at the line with such violence aa hitherto, the result be ing that there will be a lessening in the Intensity of tha smsshlng collision whloh haa heretofore resulted. Tha question whloh I wish to aak is: If the intenaltv of these collisions la grsatly lessened, shall wa still have maaa plays T Ws shall have a mass attack, to be aura, but with a weaker defense, will .we have present tne elements to which people have ob jected In ths paat? It seems to ms that at any rate the objection ahould be greatly modified, because the term "msss piay implies a violence due to the con flict between offense and defense.. If the offense can easily overcome ths de fense, - will offensive msss play be un desirable? This .la something to ponder. tTO us continued.)' ; .
