Show Onside Kick Won't Be Missed, States Dobie "The elimination of the onside kick by the football rules committee will not make much difference to the game," said Gilmour Dohle, Cornell's football coach, in discussing the rule changes adopted by the football legislators. legis-lators. The play, according to Dobie, was not often used and furthermore it was difficult for the officials to rule on it. He added : "I have never considered the onside kick of enough value to warrant using It to any extent. It requires too much time and attention to perfect it and under the best conditions its success were merely a lottery. The play added little to the offensive strength of a team and was useful only when it was worked as a complete surprise on the opposing team. It's elimination won't hurt the game." |
