RUGBY SUCCESS IN THE EAST
MANY STUDENTS PLAY THE SPORT YEAR ROUND.
Stanford and California Have Shown the English Game Is Popular-Objections at First.
Professor Frank Anzell of Lealand Stanford University gives a brief statement in The Independent of January 27 of the football situation in California before the reform and after. According to this account the American college game was developed at Stanford and California as it has been developed elsewhere. The game appeared to be a fixture in college life, "but as the game developed and became more and more scientific it began to become more and more objectionable. It was evident that the game had ceased to be a sport in any sense of the word. It was played only by a chosen few."
Regarding the introduction of the game Professor Anzell goes on to say: "From the first the Stanford students' objection to the new game was very small. There were several reasons for the smooth launching of Rugby but chief among them was the fact that the game was enjoyable—there was fun in the practice and there was fun in the matches. The old, hard, grinding, exhausting mass and momentum play had given way to swift and exhilarating passing and the wearied some drill on signals had yielded to rapid changes of play where quick thinking and ready agility had to play a part. But the main points in the game which make it real sport are that it is poor playing to be downed with the ball and that it is foul playing to interfere. The first leads to the spectacular passing rushes and the second rules out mass and momentum plays.
"That the new game has in creased the football skill of the men playing is evident from the fact that the new game require a skill which the old game was without, 'For every man who could punt 45 yards four years ago, we now have ten, the whole team have to do these things. This makes the game football.'"
That the Rugby game is thoroughly enjoyed by the players is witnessed in the comparison between conditions four years ago and now. "If there was any enjoyment in the old game it was thoroughly concealed," says Professor Anzell. After the big game in November the football field with its barren bleachers with the lonesomest part of the Stanford Campus. The university and second teams wouldn't play and the rest of the college couldn't play a game founded on an intricate signal drill. A game which depends on a monotonous and time-robbing drill in signals can never become a general college sport. This is far from being the case with Rugby from the day after the day after the big game up to examination week the football field is the scene of all manner of volunteer games, interclass, fraternity, department and club matches, so that the majority of the men on the campus have hard, exhilarating exercise without any harmful results. It was the hope of bringing about this condition that induced the faculty to recommend Rugby. In conclusion Professor Anzell says: "And so, after four years of Rugby the students like and enjoy the game; they find the old
football slow and stupid. And they would strongly object to any attempt to bring it back. The game is also played by constantly increasing numbers in the smaller colleges and in many high schools throughout the state."
