VOLUME CVIIL— NO. 171. 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."
