    That’s a heck of a photo given what they had to work with in 1912!

    Remember back then it was more like rugby. *Forward pass was introduced in 1906, maybe this is why they’re testing helmets.

        There are, don’t know which levels wear them. They are simple padded helmets. Good for jostling, not for collisions.

          Hard helmets are forbidden in rugby.

    That’s not how you tackle a house. You are suppose to reach around and tickle it’s balls first.
