Summary
Print shows a tackle near the goal line.
Illus. in: Harper's weekly, v. 22, no. 1144 (1878 December 7), p. 969.
On page 971: ... a point in the game when one side has forced the ball almost to the opposite goal, and both teams, excepting goal-keepers, close in and try to force the other back by main strength. During this struggle the opponents can not be touched with the hand, except the one holding the ball. In our illustration the lad holding the ball has succeeded (at the expense of a shirt) in wriggling out of the "scrummage," and is handing the ball to one of his "half backs," who will "touch it down" behind the goal for safety, thus securing a breathing-space and a new trial. The game requires speed, wind, and judgment, and if properly played, according to the revised rules, it is not dangerous.
