FORWARD PASS CHANGES.
Cornell Coach Thinks Penalty Should BE
Made Less Severe.

ITHACA, N. Y. Dec. Is.-Coach Halliday.
a member OF the football advisory committee
at Cornell, believes that some new legisla-
tion should pe ,,----ad by the football rules
committee at its next meeting designed to
lessen the penalty for failure to work the
forward pass. He comments on the situa-
tion as follows
The forward pass has not proved so
successful as last year, taking all ,univer-
sity teams into consideration, and think
IL possible that the rules committee will
at their next meeting consider the present
fifteen yard penalty too severe. The
greatest power Of the forward pass Ii not
in ground gaining but in it's effect on the
defence. 1t compels the opposing team to
spread out its secondary defence and thus
weakens the defence for old fashioned foot.
ball.
Cornell spent great deal of time this
year in the defence OF the forward pass. and
this was the reason that Chicago gained at
times through our line. Cornell feared
the forward pass and spread out her de-
fence. The Maroons used the play more
successfully than any 9th er Western college
yet were unable to work but two or three
In about fourteen attempts. The onside

anticipated. weakened the defence and in,

result Of the new ruling. but when crash

No GEORGETOWN GREW.
Report Thst waslsingtealans Have Gsuit
the Aquatic Game Entirely. ~,

II Ii reported now that Georgetown will
not have crew next year at ell. There
was no varsity eight at Poughkeepsie last
June because of the great expense that the
crew has been to Georgetown. Efforts
were made TO pay up what IL owing rather
than to incur further expense. II was
hoped that finances would get into such
shape that Georgetown might be able to
send q boat for the 1909 regatta on the Hud-
son. Now, however. II appears that. far
from sending q crew to the Hudson. the
Washington collegians do not intend to
support aauatics at ell.
The only college race undertaken by
Georgetown last season was with the New
York University on the Potomac. That
and the American Henley regatta at Phila-
delphia comprised the season. This fall
there was an interclass regatta. which ap-
parently marked tho finish Of organized
rowing at Georgetown. .t
The WashinRtonians started to compete
at Poughkeepsie In 1900. The best showing 9
made was In 1908, when the crew finished
second to Cornell. q victory won by the
lthacans. however. with great ease. George
town never did as we'll again and often
much worse. Under Pat dempsey the
Washingtoniaus enjoyed what success they
attained. Dempsey was replaced by Murray
Russell. a graduate. in 1907. The crew did
poorly that year. Last season Harry
Vail, a former Harvard club coach. took UP
the work, but before very long It was de-
cided not to send crew to the Hudson at
all. =.
