SOCCER FOOTBALL AT THE UNIVERSITY Interesting Description of Latest Outdoor Sport. Prof. Blackburn, of the physi cal department, has introduced soccer football as one of the sports of the University. While this game has been played a long time in schools and colleges of the North and Middle West, it is just beginning to invade the South. Soccer football is entirely an outdoor sport just like football. It is played something on the or der of football, but it has none of the characteristic features of roughness attached to it that football has. Soccer is played by two teams, each composed of 11 players. As the positions are the same on both teams, one team only will be described. The posi tions are: goal-keeper; right and left fullbacks; right and left half backs; center, and five forwards. There is very little danger in curred in the playing of this game, as no tackling and guard ing is done as in football. With the exception of the goal-keepers no player is allowed to handle the ball while in play under any circumstances. The ball is worked toward the goals with the feet only. The player may u.se his head or body to block a ba'l in motion. When the ball is law hilly kicked thru the goal it co:ints one score for the team that kicked the geal. Taking into consideration the freeness from danger in playing the yame of soccer football, and the delightful ciiimate in the South it bids fair to become one of the leading sports of our Southland as soon as it has been introduced into the physical edu cation departments of the high schools and colleges. Mr. Black burn is to be congratulated for introducing the game. Mr. Blackburn is at present putting the several squids of the :'ol.h 'more and Freshmen classes tbri a process of elimination. As soon as this has been completed Mr. Blackburn wil! arrange a game between the two picked teanms. Enrollment to Date.
