Division Over the Forward Pass.

The rules committee was quite evenly
divided over the retention or elimination
of the forward pass. One faction in the
committee wanted to abolish the play
altogether or to limit it to back of the
tine of scrimmage. There seemed to be
clear line Of cleavage between the east
and west on this one play. The play has
never found much favor in the east, and
it is safe to say that If the east had been
dealing with the problem the play would
soon be no more. 1t is even said that
Walter Camp. who was chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the play four years ago, was
willing to see it consigned to the junk
pile. But the western men, who have
held the whip hand since the enforced
changes in the rules four years ago, were
not ready to see the play eliminated, and
it is safe to say that when the committee
completes it's work this month the for
ward pass will still be with us.
The abolition of the flying tackle and the
prohibition of pushing or pulling Of the
man with the ball by his teammates have
bali fatalities. The flying tackle has been
responsible for great many serious as
we'll as minor injuries. Its abolition will
remove at once large proportion OF foot
ball hurts. The rule prohibiting pushing
and pulling should be considered in con-
junction with the rule which provides
that there shall be seven men on the line
of scrimmage at all times. These two
rules are designed to prevent the con-
tinued assault upon a specific point in the
defensive line. The seven-men- on the-lne-
Of -scrimmage rule will make 1t difficult to
construct tandem attack that will prove
very useful, and the forbidding of pushing
or pulling will make it impossible to send
a given number of men crashing into the
line with locked Interference.
Another rule inspired for the same pur-
pose OF saving the defense from such a
crushing attack was that making the on
side kick, to be legal. to go twenty yards
beyond the line of scrimmage. Under the
old rule which made all onside kicks le-
gal the defensive backs had to play far
back and to one side to be ready for an
onside kick. Because he was so far back
waiting for the onside kick. the tackle he
was supposed to help support was almost
wholly unprote ted. This made an invit-
ing place for attack and during the latter
part of the season Of 1909 it was the
habit of the attacking side to send play
after play into the tackles. worse form
of massed attack than was possible even
under the old days of guards back and
| tackles back. This will no longer be pos
sible.

their practical measurcs-indeed moro

though inconveniently. whereas the
peasant cannot use metric measures
at all. These are the reasons why
physicians in contact with the less in

measures most easily comprehended
even If the prescription is written in

French metric tyranny is now be

action as soon as the injury is fully

may prepare for the coming storm. II
