CAMP TELLS HOW
HE LIKES RUGBY
Game a Satisfactory Substitute
for Old Football, Says
Eastern Expert
[Sptcbl Dlzpotch to 77ie Call]
BERKELEY, Nov. 17.— Walter Camp,
the famous Yale coach, who visited the
Pacific coast last month and was an
Interested spectator at some of the
Rugby games played at the University
of California end at Stanford, baa given
his impression of the Rugby games in
an articl*" in the Yale News, the stu
dent dally at Yale university.
Mr. Camp epoke as follows:
"The Rugby game lian been played
thpre for three or four years now and
sppnip to fill .the place <.f the American
pame very satisfactorily. It is claimed
that Rugby draw* just as large, if not
Isrgpr. crowd* than American foot
hall: but whether it would do so here
in the oast is « question. The game,
as Jt Is now played on the coast, is
not strictly intercollegiate. One of
the games which 1 saw was between
the University of California and the
Barbarians of San Francisco, which is
R n athletic club, corresponding to the
old Olympics who used to play Stan
ford and California.
"There are some very good fooloall
men out there and the indiviJual work
Is excellent, especially in handling the
ball and in kicking. The idea of team
\u25a0R-ork, as that term is understood here.
in in its infancy. Very few formations
are used and most of the gaining Is by
brilliant individual play. Possession
of the ball is not nearly as valuable
rs in the American game, so that pass
ing has reached a high state of de
velopment. There still seems to be a
chance of injuries as in other football,
because men drop on the ball when
others are trying to kick it,>>ut large
nquads turn out anj are willing to
take the risk.
"Leland Stanford and the University
of California are the only two uni
versities which play Rugby, but many
of the preparatory schools have also
adopted the game. Athletic. club teams
have been formed in San Francisco by
old English or Scotch players, and it
is with these teams that the universi
ties fill out their schedules. The game
is open and furnishes many changes.
but whether it will supplant the Amer
ican game in other localities has yet to
be decided.
"Several teams in California still
play th<? American game, while in the
northwest they are wildly excited over
it, and they succeed in turning out
some excellent teams."
