last year were not revolutionary In

Considerable discussion was INDUCED

OF the forward pass. This
arose from the fact that in many In
stances the forward pass was being
specialized, and 40 or so passes were
not uncommon. The old enthusiasts
declared this was too much like bas-

the possibilities of defense were equal
