Camp believes j th.it this years game will be safer, j and more interesting. "I think we ought have a great I game this fall." Camp said, "if the I coaches und players are quick to I grasp the possibilities. Ot course, j there are a number of technicalities j in the rules which a:e going to make I the work of the officials niight hard One of the hardest kind of tasks for the officials is it determine when one player is pushing another When the players are massed it will le hard lo designate the man who is pushing or pulling another. 'in this connection It niijrhl be stated thai, one of the hardest problems prob-lems for coaches to solve is t ; St'ip the players from pulling or p-.isbinc. before this season the words pull anil push were heard more than any others In practice, and the players have been coached so much In this that it will be a task to stop thoi.i "," one can tell juM now the rules aie going to work. They look all tight on paper, but it alwas is the practical expel inien; l aa brings results. re-sults. I would like lo see a set of rules adopted that will stand, as this constant chancing Is hurting the game As a member uf the rules committee, commit-tee, hair say that that body has worked f-r a simplification of the rules, but I firmly believe instead of making it simpler it will 'prove to be more complicated than ever. Of course this is only mv opinion, but I hope the rules work for the satisfaction satisfac-tion of all " Camp said it was a hard fight to agree on many of the points which have been adopted, as each member of the committee had certain sng-Sections sng-Sections which he wanted converled into a rule. As result several compromises com-promises had f( be made. Accordiu? to Camp, Yale will not have as strong a team this year as In the last two or three seasons. The material is not as good as in former years and it Is Camps opinion that belli Harvard and Princeton will hae firong teams, but he v.onld not sav whether they would be able to defeat Yale. Camp will remain tn the city for a few days visiting friends and then w III go east. |
