Forward Pass Is 0verrated|
Not Practical, Says Expert

mix-up in the forward pass comes in
on the receiving end.
IT you can see one Of your brave
comrades in a clear spot about 25
yards beyond, jumping up and down
with eagerness to grab the oall, it is a
comparatively simple matter Some
OF the coaches favor this system
that is, to let the passer look over the
adjacent mess and pick out a good
spot and good man to shoot the bail
to.
Then there is another system which
also has it's adherents. 1t might be
called the Garfield or Monte Carlo
pass. On certain signal for the
pass the quarter shoots the ball to a
designated spot, it being the mission
or one or more of his fellow gladia-
tors to be there when it arrives, for
II it touches the ground the stuff is
Off
When this device works at all il
works beautifully. 1t is faster and
more bewildering system. but we
would like to see anybody promise to-
De at any given spot at fixed time
on any football field that we have
lamped. This uncertainty of human
lie and purpose gives a keen zest to
this play When the ball is passed
you never can tell which goal it will
start for when it is caught. 1t de-
Ponds entirely on who happens to
grab it,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-29

WYE will now consider the for
w ward pass once more.
The forward :oass is grea
institution. II has improved the quail
ity of midweek football correspond
ence more than any change in the
rules since the first pig was slain to
make football.
1t has also helped materially to
brighten up the October games Of the
grand old pastime, though SO far
1t has never figured to any extent
when the real battles come along
toward Thanksgiving Day The idea
seems to be that it is all right to josh
the minor league colleges with for
ward passes and similar frivolities,
but the Yale game is q serious matter.
But it is greater service to the col
lege space grabber than the college
coach as at present constituted. Any
rainy day when there is nothing doing
he can sit down in his study in the
dear old dorm and write a wad Of
stuff about the revolutionary play
that the coaches have built up around
the forward pass. And as no coach
or coaches have ever done much witt,
the forward pass, he has a fine pas
ture on which to Craze his magina-
ton.
There are probably endless posi-
bilities in the forward pass, but so far
it has mainly developed nothing but
endless bunk. In the critical mo-
ments of the big games the field cap
tains are afraid to use ii because of
the heavy chances against a success
full completion of the play under the
present rules.
You probably know the general
scheme of the forward pass You are
supposed to have an end or somebody
beating down on the other side of thu
