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.
