To half dozen captains who are lead
prs of the eleyens that are foremost Ia foot
ball In the east, including Coy of Yale;
Tobin Of Dartmouth; Miller of Pennsyl-
nell, and Siegling of Princeton, this ques-
ton was addressed:
''Will there be more use Of the forward
pass In 1900 than there was in 1857
1t was not that the question was consid-
cred to be q very specific query. for 1t
would be asking too much to expect that a
captain could tell what his eleven would be
likely to do well until after he had tried
his men. but the Idea was to try to ascer-
tain Ii the captains this year are more
partial to the open game than those who
played on the elevens OF 1908.
Without much hesitation the captains
addressed replied about as had been ex-
pected-that 1t would depend a great deal

Miller, the captain OF the Pennsylvania

on the red and blue eleven have been

defending players will be able TO surround
the end who Is to catch the ball. The pur
port or the play, OF course, Is to deceive
the defending side into the belief that az
end run is to be made by the attacking side
and IL they can be caught mapping d pass
can be made for fair gain.
THIS play can be varied, Ii the right
halfback OF the opposing side Is a fast
and clever man and good passer, by
having his team push into the territory
OF the defending side, and then. when the
defending players have been drawn over
20 the right side Of their defence let the
halfback throw the ball diagonally across
both lines to his own right end.
This play must be put through with more
speed than the first, and the man who LIS

chances are the forward pass win be used
