"Many Of the fighters now regarded

ing writer's described the pitiable ef'
forts of old Jack in the recent affair
with Sam Langford, yet Jack IS only
thirty-three. Young Corbett, who was
a bright and shining light OIL the

but thirty-one, and Terry McGovern,
who is also on the retired list appar-
emily, is the same age. Tom Sharkey

The writer Of the above paragraph

after an athlete no matter in what line

SO far as McGovern and Young Cor

FIELD MAN UNDER THE NEW RULES.
combination Of strength and agility,
his chances Of making good" are few.
The coaches already are taking ad-
vantage of the change i'll the penalty
for an uncompcteG forward pass, and
there is every reason to believe the for
ward pass will be used more this sea-
son that it has been at any time since
the play was introduced. With the
penalty calling for the ball to be put
in play at the point of the preceding
down instead Of ut the point of the
pass coaches and players are certain
to take more liberties with the for
ward pass than they have taken at any
time since the play was adopted
Under the old rule when forward
pass was uncompletcd the ball was
brought back to the point of the pass
and penalty Of down inflicted. As
there still remains Il rule which reads
that q forward pass must be made
from point at least five yards back
of the line of scrimmage, it is appar-
ent that the penaliZation for an I'M
completed forward pass will bring the
ball at least six to ten yards back OF
its original position. AS there is moth
ing to lose under the present rules for
the failure to complete pass, the
coaches are taking advantage of every
possibility within the rules to perfect
plays by which the forward pass will
be successful.
Another play coaches are enthusias-
tic over is to take away the quarter
back from his original position and line
him up on parallel line with the
backs. In doing away with the quar-
ter it means the pass must be made di-
rectly from the center to the man who
is to carry the ball, and the function Of
the quarterback is to be another cog
in the interference.
In this connection it must be admit |
ted the quarter lends less value to the |
play in that the different formations
have not the deception that they would |
have if the ball were passed through |
the hands OF the quarter first and then
were fed TO some other member Of the |
team whose duty it is to make the
necessary feints to carry the defensive
