SAYS FORWARD
PASS Is NOT
A TRICK PLAY

CHICAGO, I'LL don't know
whether eastern teams will reap the
full benefit OF their teachings at the
hands OF the west. ] am inclined to
think most OF the teams there will 60
TO the extreme and use the forward
pass too frequently, as the west did
three or four years ago. It will not
be until eastern coaches have recog-
nized the fact that the forward pass
u regular formation, not a trick
play. that they will have mastered
their lesson
Prefers TO Remain ineos.
This was the reply made by an
eastern football enthusiast and keen
student Of the game to- a question put

! Boston now shares with Chicago the
honor of having both its National and
American league teams win worlds
championship pennants.
= Manager Mack, as usual. did not
take any of the worlds series money
which ne was entitled to. and so each
Philadelphia player received $203l.
i President Farrell of the New York
Americans has refused a number of
offers for his team. He says that he
will never sell until he has won
championship. p
ia. Heydler, secretary of the Ma
tionaI league, states that his organi-
zation will not try to get back any of
the players who have jumped to the
Federal league.
The Boston National league players
were generous toward their fellow
members not eligible to share in the
worlds series money. Hughes and
Martin were given $500 each, and
Manager Stallings gave Fred Tyler.
the catcher, some extra money. Sec
rotary Nickerson and Trainer Neary
were given $1,000 each.
Cornell has adopted the system OF
numbering her football players. Pri-

mediation of the alumni and the public
who. will attend the Brown game In

it will become a permanent institution

line buck or forward pass. have
seen several eastern teams use their
pass and one can tell as soon as the
ball is snapped that forward pass is
contemplated
"Of course, the east is getting away
from regular formation. But there is
an underlying tendency among east
ern coaches to call the forward pass
q trick play. For example, in talk
ing with an eastern coach he will
speak of straight football as dis
tinctly different thing from the for
ward pass game. But talk to Yost,
Harper or Stage and they will tell you
there is no such thing as open foot
ball.
Vale Not Only Team at Fault.
This must not be taken to apply to
Yale any more than any other eastern
team, however. There are several
eastern coaches who have recognized
what the western men have known for
years and have worked in the forward
pass as a regular formation. West
Point. for an example, used the for
ward pass against Navy last season
as the best western teams could have
used it. think Yale also will do that,
for Hinkey has had plenty of oppor-
tunity to see western teams use the
play, and Hinkey is a man quick to
realize the possibilities of forma-

MEXiCAN'S ENTHUSIASM MIS- CONSTRUED.

Because Guadalupe Guiteres sought to put much feeling into his speech to w. H. Dingus, a resident of Chandler there is a case in Jus tice Irwin's court wherein the man from the land of manana is sought to be placed under a peace bond. Ac- cording to Guiteres he was approach ed by Dingus as he was trimming his trees He spoke to the man, so he informed the court, and began telling him of trimming the trees and the proper manner in which if should be done. In order to explain himself home forcibly he caught hold of a small branch and cut it in two. Dingus. it seems misconstrued the action to mean that the man by that action with the knife intended to
 sever hs jugular vein. As soon as Guiteres had finished telling about
 in which the larger limbs could be
 severed most satisfactorily he began telling the man about irrigating his
 land. He explained that the water ran down a ditch in the near vicinity and flowed out over the land. Whether Dingus construed this latter expression to mean the running of his life's blood out ove.' the fields ad jacent was not explained as he did not appear in court The converse = ton will be explained in court Thursday morning, at which time the men will be given a chance to eX- plain themselves
