ED HARPER hay The game of football as we play it today has eVOIV ed considerably from its early beginnings when it was nothing more than organized mayhem Offensive football began as murderous freeforall The idea was to grab the ball and run hundred men on side or eleven some kind of goal line whether there were and get the ball over Played with vengeance there was enough physical con tact in the game to cause all kinds of injuries from the relatively minor bloody nose through broken bones to death This violence was direct reflection of the rules and the games first distinctly offensive strategy At times team would shove push and carry ball carrier across the goal line At other times they tied harness to the ball car rier and hauled him over In these early days of the game prior to the turn of the century tlic rumier wasnt counted as down until he yelled and admitted he was Courage or more precisely refusal to yell down could be extremely injurious to ball car rier For instance Lawson Fiscus who is supposed to have been the first professional football player became angry at downed opponent who refused to admit it so Fiscus took careful aim itli his heavilyvshod boot and broke the mans Jaw Flying wedge caused 18 deaths The one play that caused the most mayhem however was the flying wedge footballs first offensive formation team of blocking linemen formed into Vshaped phalanx would hang grimly onto suitcase handles sewed to the pants of the man in front and thunder en masse down the field The ball carrier ran in the middle of the wedge while opponents were knocked down or bounced out of the way In 1905 this particular straitgem as responsible for at least Iii deaths ainoug college and high school football players The deaths caused national uproar and the en suing rule changes significantly altered the nature of the game After the gridiron deaths in 1905 US President Theodore Roosevelt threatened to either ban football from Americas playing fields or to change it He summoned number of football coaches to the White House in 1906 and that year marked the beginning of seven years of rule changes The flying wedge was ruled illegal and hurdling the line was outlawed Rules brought four downs In the rules that were developed at that time teams were allowed four downs to advance the ball 10 yards The for ward pass made legal and end zones were established for passes over the goal line Kickoffs were moved back from midfield to the toyard line Seven men were required on the offensive line of scrimmage but they wre not allowed to iii terlock arms for blocking or running interference Passing rules were strict Initially the pass was limited to five yaids laterally and the field was marked with fiveyard uares illencc the word gridironW It was tough to catch all because there as nothing preventing defender from knocking the receiver down and catching the ball himself If pass went out of bounds the soccer rule applied the ball went to the opposing team Some ball carriers like Jim Thorpe the 1912 Olympic champion were charged with NORM TEII0K grand slam GARY LEDUC homer in vain Torborg joins Yankees NEW YORK AP Jeff Torborg fired as manager of Cleveland Indians Monday will join New York Yankees next week as coach Torborg was hired by the American League baseball Football born of violence Central Collegiate football player hauls one in wearing shoulder pads made of skin of light steel over heavy padding By the 1920s football rules were considered perfect or almost perfect The forward pass could be thrown with fewer restrictions and the dropped paSs was no longer con sidered free ball The recciveis got more protection and quarterback could pass from anywhere five yards the behind the line of scrimmage Of course over the years there have been more rule change and refinements to the game but it certainly is lot tamer now than it was in its beginnings team Thursday to work with the Yankee pitchers Ive admired
