Dr. Sargent's Game Tried Yesterday

Dr. D. A. Sargent's new game, for which a playing ground has been marked out on Jarvis Field, is being tried by members of his gymnasium class for men teachers. The game is now only in the experimental stage and the penalties, method of scoring and minor rules have not yet been properly adjusted. A few men practiced the game on Monday for the first time, but yesterday the full complement of two teams of twelve men each played for half an hour. The scoring was frequent, but there was little attempt at team-play or passing and the men generally made wild throws for the goal from a long distance.

The rules forbidding a man to run with the ball or to hold it in his possession any length of time prevent all roughness, but there is none of the concentrated attack that marks association football, basket-ball or hockey. Dr. Sargent has as yet given the game no name.
