Quadruple Forward Pass a New Play

The line extended halfway across the field, with the three Fordham backs strung out a few yards in the rear of the forwards. The ball was snapped back to the quarter, who ran a short distance with it to the left, drawing most of the opposing team with him.
 It was then passed at short range to the nearest Fordham back, who. in turn, ran a few paces to the left before passing it to the fuIlback. By this time the leftward movement of the ball had sucked the entire Stevens team in that direction. No one had paid any attention to the F,ordham center who, as soon as the ball had been snapped back, slipped down the field alone.
 The fullback, on getting the ball, passed it forward to the center, and he gathered it in and was off for a touch down without any one to stop ..im, but the center tripped and was downed on the two yard line. In the next play Fordham carried the ball over for the winning touchdown.
 Thorp declares that the quadruple pass has never before been tried. No doubt some coach will now come for ward with the assertion that he in troduced the play out his way years ago.

An Englishman's
 View of Baseball

THE BYSTANDER, a London news
 paper, says this about baseball:
 'The best thing that can be said from an English standpoint of base ball is that it is a more sanguine game than American football, which is not saying very much. Like American football, baseball is a game the beau ties of which can only be appreciated by an American born and bred. With the Americans it is something more than a game; 1t is an obsession more widespread and more compelling even than the cult of professional football over here. It is their national game their own invention, although. after all it is nothing but an elaboration of the good old game of rounders, and they are so convinced of its superexcellence that they have tried many times to educate us up to it's transcendental joys 80 far without much success. There is, I believe, a London baseball league, but no one ever seems to hear of it's doings. and we have yet to learn whether the alleged baseball boom in Wales will come to anything. To the university and public school man base ball has never appealed. and I doubt very much whether it ever will There is too much of the raree show about it for his tastes. No; the truth is that in England we have already as many games as we can do with. and many better games than baseball, for which we have good cause to be thankful. And as long as our home products sat isfy us we have no use for the import ed article"

QUARIERBACKS IMPORTANT UNDER NEW .GRIDIRON CODE

WITH the last games at hand the i'm
 portance of having competent field general is being more and more Yivtdly impressed upon the minds of football instructors. The quarterback position carries more prestige and is more difficult job to fill satisfactorily this year than ever before, for the req son that under the new rules many contests are either won or lost upon his ability to choose effective forna- tions at appropriate times, thus mak- ing a timely attack.
 Since the new code affords such a varied style of offense the man who stands behind the center must use his brains continually. Success comes only after the quarter has scrupulously sized up his opponent and then select ed the forma ton that his coach has in structed him to use to meet that par ticular situation. When the game is at its height it is a very common failing for even experienced leaders to forget all about certain formations that have been gone over and over in practice. In such a case the rules seem to have made ample provisions, for it is the custom of most instructors to assist their quarterbaCks from the side lines by sending in suggestions by a fresh player. This means of aid is a great advantage to the field general at criti cal times and in many cases has had direct result upon the outcome of the contest.
 To carry on an effective attack it is essential that the field general look the situation over very thoroughly before he calls his signal but he must be able to size up the enemy al a glance, for q pair of wise defensive tackles can easily discern which way the play is going to be directed by the leader hesi- tating to look at the spot at which the attack is to be driven.
 For instance, if the defensive halves are playing deep, tackle smashes and end runs are almost bound to prove ground gathers. as the opposing line is sure to be weakened by the absence of those two players. Fake bucks and split formations may also be used to advantage under such circumstances. On the other hand, if the opponents are using a single line of defense then is the most effectual time to operate the forward pass, with the receiver of the ball running wide, so that he will make the catch before the defensive fullba ok has chance to intercept.
 Before going into a contest the quar- ter should have his mind clearly made up as to what plays he is going to use i to start the combat This does not mean it is necessary to lay out a plan for the whole game. Such an idea is | impracticable, as no one can tell be- forehand what will be the circum- stances. As the showing of a team for the first few moments is nightly i'm portant, the leader should so drive his men that his eleven will get the jump on the enemy right at the start. If he is so fortunate the chances for victory are greatly in his favor
 Supposing a team receives the kick off at the opening of contest, 1t is in

nounce whether he has been touched, fair or foul.
 It has also been the custom to award a point to a fencer when his rival steps off the strip or when he turns or covers his body with his arms in such d way as to make it impossible for the at sAcker to score a legal point. No points will be added hereafter. Instead the offending contestant will have a point deducted from his total.
 The size of the saber has been re- duced to conform with the one in use in Europe. It is to be thirty five inches long, half an inch in width and not more than one quarter of an inch at the point. The total number of points necessary to win bout has been reduced from nine to seven. Dou- ble touches instead of counting nil will cause one point to be deducted from each swordsman's score. The stop thrust has been eliminated, making 1t imperative now for the defender to parry before lunging.
 The three prong point d'arret has been adopted for dueling sword com petition. It is a triangular arrange ment on top of the button and is wrapped with the whipping. When 1t touches any part of the fenCer's cloth ing 1t leaves slight impression, there by helping the officials in finding the point of contact. Judges may no long CT nullify a touch or a double touch.
 By an important constitutional amendment women fencers have been made eligible to membership in the league. It is hoped this action will be a stimulus to the development of the sport among the women. The women's national championship will be held in New York during the latter part of April, in conjunction with the title meet for men.

SOTCH HAS A HORROR OF TRAINING

vey. I'm but little heavier than was a year ago. he said. It's the coat. | guess
 "Gotch had just closed up the fall work on the farm and was casting about for something else to occupy his time. But a suggestion about wrestling again brought out the old Gotch smile, and his eyes narrowed down to little slits as he thought about it.
 No more for me- he blurted out Did you ever conceive some hideous idea of hades? Well, I've got some hideous ideas, too, but they're all about training. The hereafter doesn't bother me so much.
 Every once in awhile, usually at night when I'm sitting at home and enjoying the ease and comfort of nice place, I think of the wrestling game and wonder how it would be to start out again. Say, the chills just begin to creep all over me when l. fancy those six weeks, or maybe it. would have to be eight weeks this time, of work that would be necessary to get me into condition.
 "'Now. I've had unpleasant things come up in my life, and later had to go through them again. That's the way with most of us. I guess. But with training 1t is vastly different. The tortures of training never will be erased from my memory.

 Soon after Christmas we are go- ing out to California. In the southern part of the state I'm going to pick out a little patch of land that isn't too ex- pensiVe and I'll buy it for a winter home. Mrs Gotch is wild about lemon trees and wants them in the front yard. That's the kind of a place I'll get.
 "T'll have somebody run it the year round. because in the summer we'll re- turn to Iowa and attend to business there That's what I call an ideal ar- rangement.

 Its a strange situation. but a true one nevertheless. And other athletes who have reached a certain stage after the troublous years of the grind talk in much the same strain as does Gotch.
 "The other day I ran into GOtCh in hotel. It was the first time had seen him since last fall, when he wrestled Hackenschmidt.

 An opposing manager learned that Jack Holland, manager of the St. Jo- seph team, was going to use Johnson in Sundays game. The teams were batting hard for a first division berth, and Johnson was pitching great ball for St. Joseph at the time. The man ager of the other team hunted up Johnson Saturday night.
 "George,'' he said to the Indian, you certainly are a swell pitcher. You didn't know that I was after you, did you? I was going to get you when Holland grabbed you. I didn't know he was after you or I surely would have taken you"

How Johnson, Indian Pitcher,
 Got Back at the Manager

Johnson fell for the "salve." and he and the manager were soon getting along fine.
 Let's have e little drink" suggested the manager, and the two strolled off together. One drink resulted in an other and another, and soon Johnson had taken too many. The manager kept him out until late the next morn ing.
 Johnson woke up about noon thor- oughly ashamed of himself. He studied 1t out, and he saw where he had been led astray purposely. He set himself to thwart the plans of the other clubs manager He got up. took a cold bath and walked around until his head was clear, and then ate just 8 light break fast That afternoon he went in against the visiting club and pitched one of the best games of his career. St. Joseph won the game in walk. Johnson scoring 8 shut-out.

LATEST
 ENGLISH SENSATION

THE sensation of the London ath-
 letic season occurred recently when w. R. Appiegarth created a new worlds record of 1875 seconds for 200 yards at Remington oval. This, of course, is easily the best time ever accomplished at this distance in Eng land. but it is probable that R. c. Craig was putting up an equally good performance when he created his two records at 21iIs seconds for 220 yards; Craig, of course, was not timed at zoe yards, and whatever he did cannot stand for a record in consequence.
 Last year A. Postle. the Australian professional sprint champion, is alleg- ed to have covered 200 yards in 19 seconds when he beat Jack Donaldson by three yards.

NEW RULES FOR FENCING

\ s result of the experience gained
 by our American swordsmen in the recent Olympic meet at Stockholm rules governing fencing in this country have just undergone changes of the most radical character in years. The recommendation of the men who made close study of European methods met with such high favor among the mem bers of the controlling body here that almost without exception they were adopted unanimously at the annual meeting of the Amateur FenCers League of America in New York re- gently.
 The action of the league eliminates practically all the salient points of diff ference that have existed between the American code and the international rules that governed the competition at the Olympic games. It is practically an embodiment of the foreign regula- tionS.
 There will be no time limit hereafter in foils competition. Instead of four minutes, as customary, contestants will have to hold the strip until one or the other has gained total of five touches. Under the old rules a ma jority of seven touches decided a bout. In addition the Olympic scoring system was adopted. whereby ties in the mum Der of matches won are settled not by series of fence-off bouts, but by a comparison of the aggregate number of touches made throughout the tour nament. Score boards at all tourna- ments will be compulsory hereafter. The custom of awarding a point for form, a practice that has often caused trouble in close matches, has been eliminated, as well as the rule making it obligatory for the contestant to an

the nineties a man supervised his own bandaging and his own padding, too often with unfortunate results. The injury to FeltOn, the tall end and left footed kicker of the Harvard eleven last season is a case in point. In some way the big Crimson punter passed muster with a badly arranged and in sufficient hip pad and sustained an in jury that kept him out of the Prince ton game.
 It is this matter of protective band aging that does not include the heavy armor of five years ago that makes the

this is grave mistake, and the coaches should impress the necessity of hitting on or off tackle with hard driving back whenever the ball lies in-- side of the ten yard mark It might be said here, however, that when the oval is as near to the goal as the one yard line many teams have been SCOT ing by using a play where the ball is passed to tho quarter, and he, with the

variably wise play to punt the ball at once. The idea of this Is to get the oval deep into the opponents territory. The pigskin should not be kicked across the goal on such an occasion, thus giving the opposing team 8 chance to scrimmage on or kick from their twenty yard line.
