FORWARD PASS HELPING
 SMALL COLLEGE TEAMS

The smaller football teams are be-
 ginning to reap the fruits of their de-
 votion to the forward pass. They took 1t up at it's very inception when the bigger fellows were still chary of abandoning their attitude of whole
 hearted allegiance to the old methods
 under which they had established their supremacy. The experience of
 not at first striking and probably had
 much to do with the continued at
 titude of disdain with which the ma
 jors have looked upon it.
 But persistence has it's rewards and they were striking1y exemplifed in the Yale-Lafayette and Harvard Williams games Saturday when the smaller col. leges literally ran their opponents off their feet by persistent use of the forward pass Williams neted a field goal from it and Lafayette might sessed a kicker-and she ought to have had a touchdown by all the rules of reward-of-virtue.
 The smaller colleges are not only better, as a rule, at executing this play but long practice has given them skill in solving the other fellows at tempts. Lafayette, for example, us- ual1y managed to have two or three men at the receiving end of the Yale passes to one Eli or less. As re- suit, although Yale tried the play with bewildering frequency it worked but twice, one a short diagonal pass from Sparkling to Avery which netted four Or five yards and the other when a Yale man, for whom the play was not intended, swept into the ruck which had smothered Gallauer, the logical recipient, and picked the ball out of the air by a frantic high jump.
 Lafayette reserved her campaign un- til the last period but when she launched it, it went with a rush that brought the spectators up on their hind legs Once Yale recovered a pass on her 5-yard line after Lafay- cite had succeeded three or four times in a row. Again a succession of pass es brought the ball within YaIe's TO- yard line when it was called back by reason of Lafayette's infraction of rules

YALE DISCOVERS
 STAR QUARTERBACK
BOMEISIER AND FLYNN MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY
 AGAINST WEST POINT.

New Haven Oct. 16.-Entirely new blood for the quarterback position seemed to be the idea of the Yale coaches at the field yesterday after noon. Nate Wheeler was put in as varsity quarterback, Loftus was sent to the second team and Cornell was allowed to rest. Cornish, who has a bad ankle, was at the field and rested
 Wheeler is junior. He played some on his freshman team two years ago. Because of an injury he did not play at all last year: He seemed to spirit into the men than any previous quarter. But this may have been partly due to the weather. which was clear and cold.
 Wheeler was the only player on either side to score. Besides run ming the team in fine shape, he tore off a forty-yard end run for the only touchdown of the afternoon lie went around right end after a fake pass and went through broken field for the score.
 Markle, Baker and two other scrub players were hot on his trail, but the plucky little quarter managed to get the pigskin over the line for touch down before they could get to him. There was no attempt to kick the goal. Several times during the practice for ward passing was tried by the varsity without success.
 Castles, SpaIding and PlaiIoin made a. fast string of backs, with Wheeler at quarter, but the scrub line was a good one and held whenever the va sity approached the goal line.
 The varsity missed Lefty Flynn, the full back. He was at the field and ran around a little. He also did some left footed bunting, but he did not go into the scrinmage at a1 He is quite lame. It is expected that he will be able to play against West Point, but members of the squad say there is a good deal of question as to whether BomeisIer will be in at end because Of the injury to his shoulder.

 Judging by the result of his last three bouts McCarty has shown much of the improvements that was predict ed for him when he was beaten by Jim Stewart In that contest McCar- ty proved that he was game, aggres- sive and that his fine physique was equipped with quick acting muscles. All his faults were of the kind that speed. the one essential quality, and one that is so frequently absent in big heavy muscled men. McCarty's awk- ward manner of hitting robbed his blows of their effectiveness and made him loko the novice he still is But there is no reason apparent why, with proper instruction and constant prac- tice, he should not correct this defect and also polish up his boxing.

 The driving hurricane which swept the field had both clubs guessing but New York could afford to miss most of her guesses with that seven run lead compiled before Larry Gardner was not up to New York then-but Boston, to grow desperate in her re- rnaining chances.

Boston Oct. 16.-Provided the agile and alert keepers of leading 'fbug emporiums, booby matches and nut hostelries'' don't cut in and sptr- it away both athletes and non-con1- batants the most decisive single bat tie. ever staged in the run of a great nations greatest sport, will tell the story of championship fight which may stand unequalled for another century.
 But once before, under the modern system, have two ball clubs ever gone to seven games to end a series: TO day, two clubs have not only whtrled. sIashed, reeled and fought their way to seven games, but, having tied record in this respect, are no nearer start-no nearer with the exception that one or the other must lose heartbreaking fight by dusk where nothing short of another tie can staye off the situation further.
 It doesn't require one on the 1n- side to grip an affair like this. The average bug is now keyed as tautly as the ball player in the fight where there is no dope left upon which to bank. Both teams may battle grimly and staunchly to the finish or there break as the Red Sox broke, yester- day. and turn the deciding 5amboree Into a furOre.

 There is a report coming from good authority that Gene McCann will not manage the Bridgeport baseball club next season. Mike Finn, the former Waterbury manager, met McCann in New York during the worlds series and later declared McCann told him he would not be in Bridgeport in 1913.
 McCann was seen today and denied making any such remark. He said he has been signing players for next sea- son already He did admit, however, that he has not signed any contract for next season. The scrapper mana ger is waiting for an interview witIs Owner John H. Freeman before he an- nounces his plans.
 McCanns contract expires before next season starts, and naturally the Mechanics pilot wants ito know where he stands. There have been several names mentioned as the next leader of the Bridgeport club. Tom Connery, who has broken off relations with the Hartford club, is said to be among the possibilities, and shortstop Jack Spratt also has a chance to land. Owner Freeman will arrive in this city in a short time, and then the matter will be settled.
 The garrison finish Of the Giants inspired the Chicago White Sox and the St. Louis Browns to come through with the Frank Merriwell stuff at the last minute. The St. Louis Nationals
