FIRST FOOTBALL RULES
MADE FIFTY YEARS AGO
Popular College Sport Was Man’s
Game When “Grandpa” Donned
the Grid Moleskins
With the interest of football fans
flamed to a high pitch at the present
moment, it Is well to know that exactly
fifty years ago the first football rules
were framed at a meeUng of represen
tatives from Princeton, Tale, Columbia,
and Rutgers. Under this new code
Princeton defeated Yale for the first
time in the fall of that year. 1873. Two
years later Haverford joined In the pro
motion and encouragement of the grid
iron sport In this country.
Prior to the framing of these rules,
football as played by American colleges
and schools was a combination of "any
thing and everything", rather difficult
to descrltie. Harvard played English
Rugby which corresponds more closely
to present day soccer than the modern
game of football, but the other schools
competed in games that resembled the
present day "class rushes”‘governed by
neither laws nor rules.
The first uctual college g:une in this
country was betwen Columbia.and Yale
in November, 1873, It could hardly, be
recognized as present day football with
twenty men on each team and a style
of play resembling modern soccer. The
styles of football clothing have also
changed greatly for these men wore
long trousers and knitted Jerseys.
There was no such thing os "off-side"
or "on side" and gonls were made by
kicking the ball between.two posts os in
soccer. No player was permitted .to
pick up the halt. There, was tio tackling
and in the event of a foul * the. 'guilty
ayer had to throw the ball above'his
oad. When it touched the ground.
Joking was in'order with the result
Kit many clever drop kickers and in
irod shins were developed.
You CAXT PUT A QUART OF SYR
UP INTO A PINT JUG, NO MATTER
HOW GOOD THE SYRUP IS.
Yet for genmtioiis we have been try
ing to do practically the same thing.
Many parents fail to understand why
some children advance more rapidly
thnn others and try to crowd know
ledge into these younger intellects not
knotring their capacity is limited. This
may be due to the abnormal condition of
the children's eyes.
I make a specialty of prescribing
glasses for children's eyes.

j In 1875 Harvnrd defeated Yale under
• a system of rules that was a compro
! mist* I>etwcen the English and American
; Rugby laws. This style of play was
■ found to Ih* unsatisfactory, however,
i with the result that the English fea
: tures were eliminated and American Jn
i tercullegiate football began to take on
I a character of its own.
j Under the leadership of Sam Winslow,
j Harvard developed u notable team in
11875. At that time the forwards were
i culled “rushers" and had no fixed posl
sions, and in the backfield there was a
••quarter”, two "half ends”, and a “full
end". The players wore jackets and knee
breeches of white or brown canvas, knit
ted skull caps, and heavy leather shoes
with thick rubber soles. The game at
that time was Indeed a man's game with
fierce tackling,.long runs or plunges by
fleet “fenders", spectacular drop-kicking
and punting and at all times on unnees
sary roughness never seen in the pres
ent day game. ’
The American game was then per
fected by *Yale and Princeton 2 'during
the next few. .years. to', such -an extent
that. Haryaxd was left fi*r -behind. - Yale
with such famous players as "Pa” Cor
bin, Terry, Heffelflnger, and "Bull"
Sugg, coach of Chicago University at
present, and Princeton with "Snake"
Ames, Cowan, and Edgar Allen Poe.
played a slashing game of football with
every modern feature perfected . with
the result that they outclassed all their
rivals.
Harvard appealed to Lorin F. Deland,
n theorist for a new method .of, coach
ing with the result that-the first mass
Plays were perfected, that; for d time
threatened • the popularity of=the'game.
The climax came when Pennsylvania
Invented the "guards back interference"
made famous by such- giantsas Whar
ton .and Hare.•« This system of football
was so rough that a number of relations
among the big colleges were severed,
some of which have never been resumed.
Through’the efforts of the Intercolle
giate Rules Committee, the game was
freed from such rough-house tactics
and at the same time greatly improved.

Panther’s victory possible.
The First Half
Cezdek’s proteges got a break early in
the game, after Bcntz hud kicked off to
Anderson, the Pitt.halfback. With the
ball resting on Pitt’s 27 yard line, Hew
itt plunged right guard but fumbled
and Wentz recovered for Penn State.;
It all went for naught, however, because ;
the Pitt line held firmly under three at- j
tacks by Wdlson and Palm and the l
X.ttany quarterback missed a Held goal i
which he attempted as a.last resort. For
the remainder of the period the pigskin
see-sawed up and down the field with
neither team holding the advantage. It
appeared as df the teams were evenly
matched and that another scoreless tie
might be chalked down on the Thanks
giving Day records.
With the opening of the second period
Pitt attempted to get her steam roiler
attack working but the Lion stood val
iantly In her way, following one first
down, Flanagan had to punt. The
teams exchanged kicks for several min
utes after this without either machine
gaining much ground until Palm caught
a long punt und suddenly broke away
for his 40 yard run. He was stopped
by Flanagan after he hud dodged bis
way through the entire Pitt team. The
Panther defense held again though and
Palm tried a drop kick from the 43 yard
mark. The boot went short of the
posts. A short time afterward the half
ended .with, the-ball. in the Pitt end of
the field.

determined air and was not long in
displaying it. Winterburn ran the oval
back from the six yard line to the 28.
Then began a long march for the Blue
and Gold eleven which ended on the 11
yard murk after five consecutive first
downs had been registered. Hewitt and
Fianagun starred in the attack. Penn
State took the ball on down but could
not gain and had to kick. At this point
Pitt received her golden opportunity
through the great work of Flanagan
whOjCvught Palm’s punt and ran to the
six' yard line. Twice the Smoky City
machine assaulted the Xlttany strong
hold to little avail and it appeared ns
it’ Pitt was doomed to miss her chance
but Flanagan came to the rescue with
a slide off right tackle for a touchdown.
”Pie” Williams succeeded in adding an
other point to the score by easily kick
ing the goal.
Flanagan came Into the Umelight li
gnin on the kickoff by carrying ‘the
pigskin back to midfield but a penalty
and a bad pass on the next two plays
cost Pitt twenty yards and Flanagan
kicked. Penn State returned the punt
soon afterward and then Pitt launched
another drive, as the quarter closed.
Fourth Period
i The Panther’s ferocious attack grad
ually brought him down to the Xlttany
30 yard line. Here the Lion held firm
ly and after three downs Williams de
cided to try for a field goal. His at
tempt went wide of the standards. The
ball was placed on the 20 yard mark
and the Blue and White team tried to
rush the Pitt defense but failed to go
far und Palm dropped back to kick.
His punt was blocked. However, Palm
himself fell on the ball and then man
aged to kick out of dunger on the next
piny.
Flanagan ran the ball back to Penn
State’s 45 yard line. On four plays Pitt
placed it on the 34 yard mark and then
Jordan, on a double pass from Ander
son, skirted right end for 19 yards.
