1949-1950 Yearbook

and Football Fo Ilowed Shortly IMMEDIATELY lollowing the softball season, two lootball lields were marked 011 on the athletic grounds and lootball was the center 01 attraction. Harding's game 01 lootball is quite a bit dillerent Irom the regular collegiate game. It has many 01 the rules 01 tackle but the method 01 stopping the ball carrier is quite dillerent. Each player is given two rags, two inches wide and approximately 8 inches long which he tucks under his belt on each side. The defensive team must succeed in grabbing one of these rags before the btU is dead. The game requires much 01 the skill of tackle because the runner has to be more deceptive, and since body blocks are illegal the to.. has quite a task in protecting the ball carrier.
