PROTECTION NEEDED
ON FORWARD PASSES.
Safety Man Required to Guard Against
lnterception Of the Ball.

In evolving forward pass plays there
is one cardinal .5on1 winch every coaci,
should teach his players, and that is TO
select a safety man for every forna-
ton in which the ball is thrown for
ward. Generally the player who throws
the ball is selected to act IS the safety
man. but there are different opinions
on the subject, so other players some
times serve i'll this capacity, says Wal
ter Eckersall. AS the play is q chance
formation in which the bail generally
is ~thrown to either side OF the center.
the player who throws the ball is in a
better position to tackle any opponen.
who might intercept the throw than
any other of the passer's side. In 1905.
the first year in which the forward
pass was used, many long runs We're
made because the offensive side did
not have q safety man on all forward
pass plays. Since that time the coach
es have been careful enough to appoint
some player to look out for anything
that might happen ON a forward pass.
but there are some mentors who have
been careless in making this point i'm
peratiye. When Sauer of Chicago
caught the ball on his five yard line in
last Saturdays game with Northwest
ern he never could have made that run
if Captain Marley had run over to the
side as soon as he had passed the
oval. Manley. after throwing the ball,
stood still, and when Sauer intercept
ed the throw the maroon had a run
ming start on the purple captain, who
was unable to catch the fleet Midway
warrior.
Practically the same conditions eX-
listed at Cambridge when one of the
crimson backs intercepted forward
pass thrown by one of the Brown
players and sprinted the length of the
field for a score. Cornell registered a
score on Vermont by the same means,
and several other runs were made be-
cause of the absence of a safety man.
1t takes little effort for the passer to
run over to the unprotected territory
after the ball has been thrown and
he is in the best position TO size up
Immediately the possibilities of his
throw and know whether he viii be
called upon to tackle or recover the
ball. Too much stress cannot be laid
on this point and every coach should
see Ito il that he has some player pro-
tecting on every forma ton in which
the ball is thrown forward. The passer
is the best man TO act in this ca paci-
ty provided he is fast and whoever is
selected should be a fast runner and
deadly tackler.

PUNT FORMATION
BEST FOR FORWARD PASS.
Linenen Can Do Their Part by Check
ing Opponents Secondary Defense.

There are a number of coaches who
believe that one formation is better
than some others to execute success
fully forward passes, but in the five
years in which the play has been
used the most success has been OBJ
tanned in throwing the bali from a
punt or scattered formation. With a
center who can throw the ball back
with lot of speed and accuracy and
with a passer who can either run or
throw the ball with desired results. a
team practically is assured of success
with the play. says Walter Eckersall.
In executing the play from the punt
formation. it is possible to give the
passes more protection and it also al
lows the eligible players more time to
get out into positions to receive the
throw. IL the passer catches the ball
and then starts to run to either side,
at the same time getting the ball in
position to throw it as soon as the
some of the defensive players into
him, thus giving the players of his
own side Better chance to receive
the throw.
1t is necessary TO state in this con-
nection that the line1pen on the oppo-
site side from which the play is sent
can do a lot of good by breaking
through and checking the secondary
defensive players from cutting across
and spoiling the chances of success of
the play. Clever men in every play
is the spirit which should prevail in
formations OF this kind, and if each
player performs his duty the play is
sure to gain ground. When the rules
committee eliminated the restriction of
having the ball passed five yards out
on either side of the center 1t was
thought that a lot of passing would be
done over the center of the line but
so far there has been little pa ssing
over any part of the line. Most of the
successful attempts have been off to
the side and the ball only has been
thrown over the forwards when one of
the tackles was eligible to receive it.
In some of the games forward pass
es have been ATTEMPTED from delayed
passes of cris-crosses back Of the
line and in the majority of cases these
attempts have been unsuccessful be-
cause the opposing iinemen have brok-
EN- through and tackled the passer be
fore he had a chance to throw the
oval PLAYS of this kind might work
occa sionallv if a team has a strong
and powerful line which can hold long
enough to allow the players in the
hackf1eld time enough to perform their
deceptive stunts. As the present rules
almost unanimous approval. it is safe,
to state the same rulings will govern
the play next season, and with assur-
ances of this sort the coaches are sure
10 spend MORE tine i'll perfecting de-
ceptive forward pass formations, and
if the rules remain unchanged long
enough forward pass formations will
be as common as straight football.

The Mexican Indians, as we'll n

effect that the negro was made before
either the white man or the Indian or
even before the sun was created. They
account for his color by declaring that

Their own race. they say, was made in
the morning of the first day between
daylight and sunup. On this account

TICKET CASE IN COURT.

which the company is charged with
charging two fares within the city linn.
its. was given hearing before Judge
Phelan. Thursday morning. This case
was one In which Jules w. Byrnes and
Misses Edna and Gertrude Wayson
claimed that they were charged two
fares in travelling on a Jefferson car
TO the Alterroad.
Charles ID. Joslyn. for the traction
company, were In court and produced
orders issued To the various barn
bosses. showing that conductors who
charged a double fare during working
mems hours, did SO In contravention
OF the companys orders.
The barn boss of the Jefferson barns
admitted that the conductor did charge
double fares on the occasion cited In
the complaint.
The court declared that he had
always conteL led that the company
was Obliged 10 take passengers any
where within the city limits for one
fare.
| He also declared that the company
| had no right TO exact double fares from
passengers riding TO the Alter-road on

wanted 10 bring out strongly Is that
people should not pay double fare
during workingmen's hours, which are
