Forward Pass Is Not Successful As Means Of Attack In Football
Rules For Gridiron Game
Fall Short Of Their Purpose
Inability of Players to Pass the Pigskin Toward the
Ends Fails to Open Up the Play, as Planned
by the Code Makers The Players Still Pre

N
EW YORK, Oct. 21. -The experi
ence of the loyal public with the
rules of the great American
r itss of college football has been much
the same as the experience with tar"f
revision downward it takes a long
time to get real results.
About 'steen years ago fans were
confronted with the choice of throwing
out wings on the leading hospitals or
setting to work on the football rules.
The latter seemed simpler and less er
pinsne, so an effort was made in that
direction. As a matter of fact, a num-1-er
of efforts have been made in that
direction, but up to the present time
lne rules have been revised much as
the tariff was handled.
The earnest request for a loosening
up of the football game of college
children arises from two sources. Time
was when tenderly nurtured girls were
lured out to see a "game" and were
let ,n for a combination of Custer's
Last Charge and a busy day in Kish
ineff. Then, in the interest of keeping
alie what might be made a good game,
it became apparent to the densest that
the game would have to be made more
open.
Little Progress Made.
About six years ago they started in
on the task and so far they have made
no progress visible to the unaided vis
ion. Rules have been made requiring
a greater gain of distance on a given
number of plays in the hope that this
ti ouia lead to more running; but at the
same time no inducements Were em
bodied in the rules that would make
open running attractive as a ground
gaining medium. The result was tire
some kicking duels.
Then the wise men of the game
adopted the "forward pass," than which
no welder play was ever evolved. The
forward pass in itself is a sort of vio
lation of the principles of all games
where the object is to advance a ball
across a field, but with the aim or
openlug up American football it would
have been more than defensible if the
framers of the rules had been on the
level with It. As it Is. they have so
hedged thi3 play about with techni
calities and impossibilities that when a
team successfully works this attack
it is more blind luck than anything
else. The main requirements of the
play are a number of well equipped

Cannot Depend on It.
Knw does it work in practice? It
doesn't work out at all. There is not T
a team of the first caliber in the coun
try that depends upon it as a staple
form of attack. One minor college
club used it fourteen times In one gamo
and got away with it three times,
which is all you have to know to un
derstand why the big teams cannot
depend upon It.
For instance, any player who re
ceives this pass must be on the side in
possession of the ball when the ball
is put in play, and he must have been
at least one yard back of the Scrim
mage line Wlicil 11 was aimpiicu, sa-
cept in the case of the extreme flank
ing men of the line. This ridiculous
technicality defeats the purpose of the
rule without any of the dozen, others.
It prevents linemen from breaking
through to take a pass and it pre
vents the man who Is running with the
ball, if he' has taken it from his oppon
ents, from passing It along to a com
rade. If any player on either side were
Dermitted to pass the ball in any di
rection at any time American football
might be made fairly interesting for
the inexpert spectator.
Fear to Fans to Ends.
Another point: Under these techni
calities the dangers of losing the ball
are so many that most coaches this
year are afraid to use the pass toward
the ends. They pass over the center of
the line so that if the ball falls into
bad hands the two flanks will be clos
ing in on it. This does not open up the
play to any extent.
All of yhich means that the men who
frame the rules are still wedded to the
old mauling mess that has been char
arteristic of 'the game and fruitful of
cracked spines and fractured skulls
for a generation. They are just going
through the motions of yielding to pub
lic opinion and are very grudgingly
and unwillingly and slowly admitting
the opening wedges that may make a
real game of it some day from the
spectators standpoint.
In other ways it has always been a
real game, a football field is no place
for a weakling. Given a decent income
for life it is a grand sport for any
young man.

Ad "Wolgast in a recent statement
given out at Milwaukee declares that if
"Willie Richie will make 133 pounds
ringside, he will agree to stop him
within 10 rounds. Ad says that he will
not accept a cent if he does not hang
the k. o. wallop on Richie's jaw, if they
are matched for a return battle.
Much depends on the result of the
Owen Moran-Pal Brown lightweight
battle at Sydney. Australia, on Nov. 1.
Both boys are big factors in their di
visions. Brown being the favorite to
win on points. It is probable that ef
forts will be made to match the win
ner with Willie Ritchie.
Overtures are being made by the
matchmaker of the Kenosha, 'Wis., club
to induce Eddie McGoorty and Jack
Dillon to fight 10 rounds at that club
early in November. John Keating, pro
moter of the club, has dropped nearly
$1000 in promoting the last three fights
staged at Kenosha.
Connie Mack, manager of the Phila
delphia Athletics, when asked for his
opinion of Rube Marquard, said that
the southpaw writes like he pitches,
and the public ought to know. Mack
declares that it is a pity that there are
not more Mathewsons and fewer Mar

Mathewson and Collins rank at the
head of the bunch of player writers.
Vic Hanson, coast middleweight, has
been matche(d to meet Jeff Clarke, of
Joplin, Mo., in a 15 round bout at Jop-
lin, on October 27. It was intended by

manager of Hanson, is making a mis
take in matching his man with the
negro.
Battling Nelson, former lightweight
champion, will never don" a pair of

World Tour Will Help Ball Players
Giants and White Sox Will Be in Good Shape for Fast Play When They

EW TORK, Oct. 21. There need
be no -fear that those of the
Giants who make the trip around
the world will become stale next year
by doing too much playing this fall
and winter.
The ball team went to Cuba a few
years ago and reported to the Marlin
training camp in superb condition the
following spring. It was, in fact, those
players who did not go to Cuba that
were longer in getting into condition
than those who played that strenuous
series with the Cuban champions.
There was never any bunch of play
ers who ever made long barnstorming
trips who did not show up very strong
the next season.
The Athletics and All Americans made
tne caiirornia tour several years ago,
and they were never better than the
season after It.
The world's tourists will have plenty
of time on their hands and will not be
overworked unless they do that in this
country before they sail for the Far
East from "Vancouver on November IS.
Will Be Idle In Cold Land.
Just how any money Is to be made
in Germany, France, England and Ire
land in February is not known, for the
weather is liable to be as cold in those
countries as here.
It will be a most interesting trip any
how, and will doubtless tend toward
makiiftr baseball more world wide in its
scope than it is now.
The game has followed the flag and
the reception accorded the star players
in foreign lands will be something to
be long remembered by the players
lucky enough to make the tour.
I think a ten strike was made when
Jih Thorpe was induced to Join the
party. Jim's reputation as the cham
pion athlete of the world is world wide,
and he will divide with Christy
Mathewson the honors of being the
great big star of the two aggregations.
There will be great rivalry between
the two teams as to which will win the
majority of the games, and the young
players can be depended on to play
with all the enthusiasm of college boys.
AVhen the old Boston Red Stockings
and the Athletics visited England and
Ireland in the 70s. cricket was nlnved
by the ball players, and their fielding
surprised the English. George and
Harry Wright were old cricketers, and
with their assistance the Americans
rather showed up their English cousins
at tneir own game, but it is not likely
that the English game will be played
on the coming trip.
Title of Champs Would Help.
It would have been much better as
an advertisement if the Giants could
call themselves world's champions, but
still Mathewson and Thorpe will be
stars big enough to worthily repre
sent, the National league champions.

and an even rougher aim In full shots;
a vague notion that the wind, or the
lay of the ground, or something, will
be sure to affect the course of the ball,
and that therefore any extreme care
would be wasted.
"In this matter of straightness or
approaching it is quite as essential to
aim straight as it is in putting. In
fact, it Is even more important, since
the eighth of an Inch of inaccuracy of
direction at the moment of impact In
creases in proportion with the distance
of the point aimed at. In a long putt
it might only mean a foot off the hole,
but in an approach of 40 or 50 yards
it might mean several yards. Both for
accurate judgment of distance and for
straightness of direction it is there
fore of the utmost importance that
careful aim should be taken and pre
served throughout the stroke.
"Within certain limits the position of
the feet in the short approaches is not
of much importance, so long as the
stance is firm and well balanced. But
whatever the position of the feet the
player should stand so that without
any straining or stretching of the body
the ball shall be played from a posi
tion straight under the head. The play
er should be looking directly down on
the top of the ball, with the head neith
er in front of it nor behind It. The
greater part of his weight should be
on the right leg, which must be kept
rigid throughout the stroke. The head
and body must also be kept as steady
as possible. Most important of all is it
that the stroke be played with the
arms, wrists and hands alone, without
any body weight or motion whatever.
The club should be taken back with
the right arm and band, and the stroke
delivered with them entirely, the left
nana ana arm oeing only used to
steady t,he club. It must not do any of
the hitting. It is, as it were, only the
railway, but the steam engine is the
right.
"The grip should be firm with both
hands, but firmest with the right, so '
inai me muscles or the right rorearm
are taut, and the ball must be struck
sharply with free wrists. The clun
should not be taken back fast, and
it should be taken back a good wav,
even for the shortest strokes, and
brought forward on the ball with gath
ering force proportionate to the dis
tance to be covered.
"It need hardly be said that the eye
should be glued on the spot on which
the player desires the club face to
strike, and this spot is usuallv the

Grande will definitely decide today
whether he wants to meet Herrick ana
enter the training camp of lightweight

hard to get into condition. Joe Man

tender for the title, has also "wired At

20 GAUGE GUN PROM BUTT TO MUZZLE.
ANSAS CITY. Mo., Oct. 21 Freddie
Welsii and Willie Ritchie may yet
meet in a 20 round contest to de
cide the lightweight championship of
the world. The latest offer for such a
battle is from a London promoter, who
will give $20,000 as a purse. It Is under
stood Ritchie has accepted the offer.
The promoter is Charley Galvin, a
Los Angeles product who has been
staging fights in Paris for some time,
and has been successful. He has en
gaged a large music hall In London
and expects to promote championship
contests there in the future. He rpanhpd
"New York a few days ago and saw
Ritchie. The champion agreed to terms.
On his way west, Galvin will see Welsh
and his manager, Harry Pollok. and
present the offer to them. If they ac
cept the terms named by Ritchie it is
likely that Welsh will be able to fight
for the championship in his own coun
champion here as several other title
contenders.
Better Stick to Xevr York.
Jim Buckley, who carries the grips
for Gunboat Smith, is hurrying his
fighter to Ireland for fear some heavv
weight will get him into a ring outside
of New York and beat him.
The San Francisco battler evidently
was born lucky. He has engaged in
at least two fights of late where he
had about all or a little more than he
could handle and the obliging referee
stopped each and gave the decision to
Smith.
The first was with Jim Flvnn. Be
cause Flynn was bleeding profusely the
referee stopped the fight. Yet when
Flynn had Morris bleeding even worse
the fight was allowed to continue.
Second was in the Morris fight. It is
to the credit of the Oklahoman that he
never kicks. If he loses he takes the
decision about as gracefully as anyone
