fHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1906. FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS SPORT NEWS —EDITED BY- PERCY H. WHITING Football Under New Rules Proves Pretty Good Game The question of what the public la to expect of football under the new rules was not answered at Tech field Sat urday. The new "forward pans' was tried very little. Maryville fought very shy of it anti the Tech men let It severely alone In the first half. In the second when things were going against the local players. It was tried a few times — once with great success. The ball wns j passed twice behind the line and the Fplay appeared to be going toward the : left end. Then, of a sudden, the man with the ball turned and passed It for- iward to a man waiting far ahead. The ball Balled high In the air, land- | ed fight and the runner was oft with i It In a whiff, making a good gain. That : was the only pass of the day which really worked, hut It was an Indication of what may be expected later. Here is the forward pass rule In full, for tho benellt of those who are still mystified by the play: "The forward pass shall be allowed to each scrimmage, provided such pass be made by a player who was behind tho lino of scrimmage wlien the hall was put In play, and provided the ball, after being paused forward, does not touch the ground before being touched by ft player of either side. ‘•The pass may not be touched by a nlaver who was in the line of scrim- P hull was nut In play mage when The bill wan put In play except by either of the two men play ing on the ends of tho line ir on the en«H *u ,, . »A forward pass over the lino of scrimmage within a spoce of five >ud s on each side of tho center ahull ho Un *a"forward pass by the side which docs not put the ball in play In a scrimmage shall be unlawful. ••A forward pass which crosses the goal line on the fly or bound without touching ft player on either side shall be declared a touchback for the de fenders of the goal." The "onslde** kick Is going to make a lot of difference. Once In Saturday's game the hall was kicked 35 yards down the field by a Maryville man and received by the Tennesseeans, who gained at least 40 yards on the play. In years past If one team kicked the ball Its members coul/ not touch It again with some exceptions until it had been touched by members of the other team. Now, when the ball fs kicked It belongs to the man who gets In speaking of football under the new rules, Coach Dickson said: “The forward pass amounts to noth in?. In mid-season games between teams of anywhere near equal strength It Is a hopeless play. I do not expect it to he tried, except ns a last resort, aside from practice games and games where one team Is hopelessly out classed. “The onslde kick 1s another matter. I expect to see n lot of short kicks and a high premium has been placed on the man who can make sure, accurate kirks and who can tell Just how far Ills kirks arr going. This is of the Krratcst Importance nml a now klml of klrkcr will hr developed by all success ful teams a kicker who can get away the ball fast and surely for short dis tances. ■ The ten-yard rule seems pretty se vere to mo. II Is hard to see how teams ran make the distance. And 1 can tell you one thing. It will be the cause of a |, ( t of accidents. I expect to sco more this year than ever before." Maryville Proves a Tartar, But Tech Escapes Defeat TECH *• V " MA nTT L oxtdld 6 "The Football Nnvcim «ns on exmm 1 fion at Teeli Held Saturday afternoon when tho Georgia School of Technology team 1 played the opening game of the seaaoti i ngalnat the Maryville team, and drew i tic.

Notable because ; of their absence were the mass piajs against the center of the line, the vexatious delays when time was taken out and the ■ Injuries to players. .. Ah n spectacle It wm fine, ns foothnll It was a hit crude, and to Tech men It was a sad surprise. Tho Maryville game wns down on ttie schedule as a "practice game." The hast Tennessee team was everybody's victim Inst 1 year, and nobody expected much front Coach Iitckson's men. hut If ever n mere ! lively "dead one" lilt Atlanta It Is not re membered by local foothnll fans. The Maryville team Is Just naturally a warm proposition, and It waa nn discredit to Tech that her team secured only a tie, • though far bo It from any of ns to Bag- : gest that It waa not a surprise. Tho Tennessee team In made up «»f bus- j ky. fast men, averaging 151 pounds In • weight nml trained to the minute.

Under Coach Dlcksou they have learned n lot of foothnll, new or old, nnd on their Saturday form they would have puzzled any team In the South. The Tech team, on the other hand, was only a suggestion of the hunch which will represent the local college a month hence. The Job of whipping a new team Into con dition and of teaching them the new rules nnd the new* game In the few days allot ted had been too much for even the foxiest of nil Southern conches, nnd there Is no denying that at times Maryville had the Tech men played almost off their feet. Tech luck and Tech pluck saved the day after Maryville had scored u touchdown In the second half, nnd seemed to have tho game cinched. The team tore loose, nnd tty whirlwind tactics carried the hall down the Held for n touchdown nnd kicked goal. Maryville's touchdown was due to nn ne- etdeiit, though nn accident that thdr own activity made possible. Maryville held Tech on Tech's 15-jnrd line. The Yellow jackets tried to kick out of danger, hut “Hlg" Bnmsel broke through, blocked the kick and went over for a touchdown. The line-up: TECH— Position.

One of the chief evils lu time past has been the lavish nml often useless expenditure of money— for Combes w ho were paid more for two months' work than a regular professor was tor his service* during the entire year; f«»r fanev uniforms, f*»r expensive training tables, nnd for a thousand and one unnec essary things. With the expenses **f the football teams cut down to a reasonable amount—say. not above that usually spent on a baseball team-one of tji«* chief cause® of complaint will 1m* removM. As to Brutality. • brutality must !h' eliminated. Right here and now too much stress can not be laid on th.* necessity of playing foothalI ns n gentleiilan is expected to play nnv game. It is well enough for coaches and pin vers to scoff and say that football is not a ladles' game. It Isn't. Ilut the fm r remains that unless brutality is elim inated from footlml!. the game will not be |day 1**1 more than a year or two longer. The new rules will do much to elimi nate that disgraceful element from the game. The fact that tennis ure free from i»rofessinunis will do even more. Brutal .laving Is seldom done by regular . col lege student* In nay event, they seldom start It. It Is the misplaced pugilist who Inaugurates the trouble, and wltu the pro fessionals f the game there is m mu* h danger from brutality. Above nit things, let us have honest and efficient officials. The rules put It In the power of officials to have football played 111 a decent manner. Rut they will have has been specifically forbidden nnd ... . . -ffpinls en- ngainst all penalties provided. Let the officials force tiles.* penalties impartially against nil It Is necessary to the salvation And If the first officials tried will not d*» It. let's have some other*. , We want decent f«Mvttwill. If we don t have It. another fall will find the people of America wandering hopelessly about look ing for some game which will take Its pine Football Prospects of Georgia Are Bright Special to The Georgian. Athens, On., Oct. 1.—Football prac tice at the university Is well under way, and under the able coaching of Coach Whitney the squad Is rapidly being moulded Into fine form. Mr. Whitney played on the Cornell team In 1901 as tackle, then he finished college nnd took up coaching as a pro fession. Under his coaching Scwanee turned out two very successful teams In 1903 and 1904. Last year he served as coach at North Carolina A. & M. At this stage of the game It Is too early to make any predictions, but If early season form counts for anything, It looks as though Georgia will have a very successful team. W. O. Marshburn, from Barnesvllle, Ga., a member of tho senior law class, is the manager of tho team. , Although Captain Lowndes' resig nation from the captaincy of the foot ball team, on account of parental ob jections, is much regretted, the uni versity and the team are to be con gratulated upon having such a splen did player and able leader as Loring Raoul, of Atlanta, chosen to fill Lowndes’ place. Raoul Is not 'only prominent on the gridiron, but Is a star track athlete. Under his captain cy tho 1906 track team met and de feated the strongest teams In tho Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic As sociation. It wilt be remembered that Georgia won the three-cornered meet DARLING WINS HANDSOME CUP the Atlanta Athletic Club in connection with the Truwlrk cup were won by F. U. Darling who defeated P. II. Whiting 4 up and :i to play. Mr. Darling played a steady game while IiIh opponent gave an excellent imitation of it man trying to play golf without looking at the ball nnd put up sueh an exhibition that Sliint Andrew, the patron saint of golf, hmiiediutely there after resigned III* jolt.
