IBy Robert Edgren.t. Football, as a game of skill, has ad vanced rapidly during the laat ykar or two. Football as a game of' brute strength, bulk, weight and hammering force, disappeared yeara ago. The aood old same was mourned for a long time by those who had played It, but there la no denying the fact that the Is more exclt Inor for both sneetators and Dlavers. lust noi a competition, anu less dangerous than the old stvle of nlav.

As tall aa Jess, he waa half a foot wider across the shoulder, perfectly proportion ed, and In spite of his great bulk and weight waa wiry and lean muscled, carrying uir iai at an.

I think he was the biggest and strongest man I ever saw In any ath letlo snort. lllckok was about 6 feet and weighed 220 peunds, but he could run as ilnJJh.t VrssBA Is 1A JK aajiArtila which made him one of the fastest big men I remember on a football 'field. Harry Cross waa about 6 feet 4, and weighed JJ0 pounds, being a smaller Jieneinnger in strength ancr proportions. These three men, besides remarxabiy sanrui ana speeay, were na day of tho "flying wedge" a football formation which has been prohibited because Its crushing force caused many Injuries and deaths on the gridiron. The abolition of the fiylnr wedre started the ruling out of mans.

plays piling and roughing and brought all Its forward passing and Open play, in tne nying wedge tne attacking center and a uard combination aa any college could lioast. Michigan had the Hooper brothers At center and guard, 24p and 230 pounds of lean. muscle. Princeton had, among many big men, ftuckv Hall, a six foot i.ix ulant built like a Hercules, and "Kig Illir' Edwards. since xamous in jvew xork political history.

the high school teams In those days were often made up of phenomenally big men. Tho Oakland lilah school In California had the heaviest and moat powerful scholastic line In the United States In the early nineties, with Lou Dlake, 266 Iwunds, ns center, and Oliver and AV11 lur as guards, 220 and 215 pounds; respectively. Of the men I have mentioned many were also track and 41eld athletes, lllo kok being Intercollegiate champion, for years wun narnxner ana snot, throes a close secona, jieneinnger a hnmmer Hueky Hall a great. shot putter.putter.

The whole wedge then swept forward on the run. thd men locked 'together, crushing down trampling all opposition, For myself, I'll never forget the sense oi power in aitacKina; ai guard position Ih the flying wedge, the momentary check as the opposing line fluirg Itself, at the point and aides of the wedge, and the surging forward aa the press from behind drove the point of the wedge on and over the opposing defence, grinding It down under foot, Won't rnrrfit titlher tti knallnn nf being ground down under the flying wedge. It coat me two dislocated snoulders and a dislocated knee mere Incidents In the ''good old gams'." There was also, following the abolition of the flying wedge, aome maas play that waa hardly, less effective. The object of the play, In those "good old days." frequently was to cripple Or disable aa many, of the opposing team's best men as possible.

I played guard or center occasionally on a rather famous western team. The instructions of captain Just before we went out on the field against an Invading cham rnonsnip combination waa characteristic. "Uoys." he said, "of courae you know we don't want any rouah stuff and I don't want any of you to. begin It. Hut I hear that certain men of ours are to.

be laid out (naming them.) If mat starts, you Know wnat to do." In that game eight men from each team were carried from the field, two from each team taken to the cltv hos pital with broken bones. Yea. bol They were rough old daw! To ahow how seriously the game was taken by the players, the Invadera. who had whlnned everything In moleskins from Chicago to ine.x acino, losing ny a point, went tSl cm to wc TUB feisu vun Cooip TM4 rVAT PeoTcra Art irr riH tiCvtW SOMH PkeWttft. downed with the ball, to pile on htm and crush him aa much as possible before the referee's whistle blew.

If a heel or a knee could be planted In hla anatomy where It would be most effective, so much the better. The Instant a man waa tackled, the whole opposing team ran toward the spot at full speed, man after man hurling himself into the mass on top of the fallen runner. It was amusing to see a belated back or end ooroe tearing In, last man, and leap through the air to "pile on." 'Slugging." too, was one of the fine arts, wherever the referee's eye could not spy It waa considered perfectly le rrltlmate to wallop a crouching onpoa ng line man under. the chin with eN bow or flat. A good counter nuncher waa an asset in any line, and more good uppercuts have been struck on the oldtime gridirons than ever were landed In the ring.

Mike Murphy, the great bldtlme trainer of Yale and later Pennsylvania, told me about a wild man "from the west, one "Duck" Wilbur; who appeared at Yale and tried out for the team. could put the short 46 feet, Jump, over six feet, and lick any man I ever saw," 'said Mike, 'lie waa the greatest all around athlete I ever knew and would' have been the. greatest fullback Yale ever had If I could have taken the fight out of him and made him. play football.

When the rules committees Drat to cut the maaa playa out of football and make It a faster and more open game, they met. with strenuous opposition snd criticism from the' old players.

Now along comes John' O. IJemmer and Joaenh O.

Davis, two of the fore most' experts of Chicago, who. express themselves In the Illlllarda Magailne aa follows: "Without detrsctlnr one whit from th merits of three cushion and pocket billiards, It generally has been conceded that balk line Is the hardest game of the three to master. Ha Intricacies are many especially the present style of ls.z. 1 "Originally, billiards waa played with four, balls and then with three. The ex fwrta obtained such comoleta masterv over the straight rail, style of play, that others, which Included eight Inch, fourteen Inch cushion caroma, the cham plonahlp gamer, and other were tried.

His dexterity at straight rail billiards discarded by the great players vrhers the late Frank Jvea Invented a method that produced unlimited count, line produced a run of 6.009.
