: IT SEEMS TO MEthat while
college football may fold for the
duration, coaches might well take
cote of the comments of British
. sportswriters " who . are seeing
American football for the first
time. It is being played now in
i England, between teams of Amer-
; lean soldiers stationed there. I
H. Gregory, sports editor of the
: Oregonian. recently reprinted ex
tracts from British reviews of
. games played there. I "lift" the
report of a game between a field
artillery team and one from the
engineers, played before a crowd
;of 25,000 British spectators. This
from the London Observer: : '
"The American game does not
flow along with the smooth con-
, tinuity , of rugby or f association
football, but proceeds by a series
f jerks, with a great deal of
whistle. No doubt it Tgrows upon
one, but , the 'huddles and the
time-outs' and the fact that they
; stopped play every time the ball
, wetft to the ground, certainly
slowed things upJ
"There was very little kicking
and not much passing, because the
.x vital thing in this game is to have
possession of the ball. The most
interesting feature - to English
eyes was the 'running interfere
ence, or, as we should call it,
obstruction. When a player was
running with the ball the rest of
Jus side would attempt to pick off
any opponent who might possibly
interfere."
; And here is the report which
Gregory reprints from the Lon
don Times: 5 u
"Perhaps the chief impression
' left on the minds of the non
American visitors among the 25,
000 on the ground was that this
' game had too many delays and,
- judging by rugby and association
football standards, was slow, al
most St times to the point of be
coming tedious, f Most of the Brit
ish spectators, missed a number
of. the finer points, and some, no
doubt, all of them. Maybe the
game would have gone with more
-of a swing if the audience - had
. been, more knowledgeable and
therefore- more -aoprecidtive of
what was happening.
"The fact remains, however,
, that the game is much more spas
; xnodic than rugby. One reason
would seem to be that the whistle
goes whenever a player is tackled
and the ball Is Mown. The scrim
- mage, by which the play is re
started, may be, and often is, pre
ceded by a huddle the arrival
of substitutes or a time out
; (which is a rest of up to two min
. utes) or all three, Thus each
movement, though it may have a
definite bearing on the next one,
becomes separated by intervals of
: appreciable length. -
The observation that American
football, unlike rugby, "pro
ceeds by ' a series of jerks,
with a great deal of whistle,
is certainly true. Stops for
time out, for substitution,
