Forward Pass in the West.

"Out West we have been working on the
! open game and using the forward pass
| for some time. We were handicapped in
| team building at first, as ! said above, by
numberless restrictions, but after we had
become accustomed to these We soon saw
that nothing was to be gained by sticking
to the old rushing, piing-up order.
1t soon became evident TO me that the
| forward pass, as used by so many leading
| teams. was of no use when thrown high
! like a punt. ! soon saw that TO be eff
fective it had to be handled like base
ball. thrown sharply on line TO the run
ner moving at good speed. who had TO
handle II as a second baseman might
handle throw from Schang or Archer.
"A forward pass that is thrown high in
the air is absolutely worthless When you
! feel that you could run down from the
top Of the stands and block one it IS
fairly certain that a man already on the
| field could block one even easier. I'll ad-
nit this forward pass is useless against
| any sort OF defence, and yet this is the
| type of pass that. has been Judged SO

| Now. the Army eleven has always been
known for It's wonderful defensive work
for its sharp, sure tackling and its gen
eral aleTtness on guard. Yale for years
had found 1t almost impossible to pene-
trate this Army wall. Strong Navy elevens
have failed TO score touchdown against
it for years. And Army experts have
| told me often that a forward pass would
be a joke If attempted against their team
This belief lasted until this last fall. when
Notre Dame came along fran the West
with real collection Of forward passes

stop. And one gray afternoon on the
Hudson Dorais and Eichenlaub and
Rockne, of Notre Dame, shot so many
forward passes against the Armys stand

started something like seventeen and
something like fourteen landed safely,

Open Game Here to Stay.

The open running game mixed up with
the forward pass has come to stay and
TO cover the country, and it is only a
question Of time before the East VIII hnd
out that the West has not been running
wild. but has simply started in making
the hest out OF an advanced game that
has come to stay--out OF a game that has
lost much from the old game and has
added only the forward pass to make up
for all these losses.
Having this new game, we have not
perfected 1t yet. but when we do / be-
lieve we will have one of the most in
teresting games ever known, game that
calls for combined power, speed and skill
above any other. And when they go to
, this game TO get the most out or it
which they wll-you will again see Yale,
Princeton, Harvard and others in the
East scoring touchdowns, and in greater
numbers than they have ever scored be-
fore.
only they must first give il a chance
not a haphazard half-hearted, badly
executed chance but rather a chance
that meets every test OF practice and
work. For If the so-called open game is
useless. Of how much use Is an attack
which in about six years on some elevens
hasn't gained enough ground 10 bury a

system a try-out at least? It certainly
cannot accomplish less.
The Eastern eleyens are composed Of
men who have had much preparatory
experience and are well coached in

that goes to make hiGh class football
men. and IL to all this were added more

out of the last thirty-four sultaps1

1t is a general supposition that most
Turkish women of the harems spend
their days lying about on divans and
smoking water-pipes to pass the time.
This is grave mistake, as the women
of the lower classes often have to labor
in the fields beside their husbands,
while those of middle class bend their
energies to needlework and fine en-
broidery, and those of the highest rank
are expected to learn the lessons taught
them by their governeSses.

The sultan spends little time with his
many wives. He rises at o'clock,
breakfasts. and then sees his secre-I
taries until noon: lunches and is then
off boating until o'clock, at which
hour he receives his ambassadors Of
the empire.

of his palace. The women of his harem

It is surprising to learn that a hus-
band never looks upon the face of his
wife until three days after the mar
riage. Directly after the ceremony al
feast commences, which usually lasts
three days. 1t is necessary for roman
tic husbands to kidnap their wives If

India Not Mohammnedam Land

"In India the intelligent classes rule
the opinion Of the country. or the coun-
tries. and wise counsel prevails. Social
and economic disasters are not going
to be invited by the violent Views or
half-baked reasoning of religious
bigots. The wise men Of India find that
there Is room enough for wise and
moderate men to hold and practice DIFF
fering religious beliefs. and which per-
haps in their essentials are not SO
widely different as many uninformed
persons imagine.
Now, as 1 have said. India is not
Mohammedan. In 1911 the population
of British India was recorded as 3d.
523,9S1. OF that population there are
set down as Moslems 66,623,412. about

India there are, according to the CEN
sus figures. which 1t is fair to assume
are approximately accurate. 217.586.-

you are not devotees Of the prophet Of
Mecca. Other religions neither Moslem.

ty of these people to the present gov
ernment. It Is not fair or reasonable
to speak Of the present government OF
India as British. 1t is judicious and. !
believe, a sagacious combination of
British and native.
1.-The ruling native caste OF India ID
not Moslem. BY that caste the Moham-
medans are considered as aliens or
newcomers, very much as the Chris
tians are. The followers of Islam are
very nearly all in central India, and
around them on all sides are natives
who do not believe as they do and
whose religious rites they do not prac-
tice.
IAN important fact is that a very
large proportion Of the native princes
or ruling men of the India Of today
are English in education and in their
ways of thinking. They not only speak
English as well as you or !. but they
think English. No revolt in India would
have a chance Of making headway ex-
cept under the leadership or by the in
dorsement Of one Of the ruling class
of natives, and / do not believe that
one could be found who would lend
himself to such an undertaking.
From Tuticorin to the Himalayas.
India is at peace and enjoys the largest
measure of prosperity and popular con-
tent it has ever known. The Moslem
population Is well represented in the
government, and the intelligent Mos
lens have no quarrel and no desire to
pick a quarrel with Christianity. The
authority of the Sultan of Turkey over
these people is an ancient fiction. They
do not know any more about the affairs
of the Turkish government or care
any more about the Turkish sultan
than they do about Tammany Hall and
the boss Of that organization"

<fT some way a wide and deep mis-
understanding Of the religious
situation in India persists
throughout the world that lies outside
the boundaries of that imperial do
main, or at least outside the boundaries
of Mohammedan countries" said a man
long resident in India and Intimately
conversant with the general conditions
there.
For many years before the outbreak
of this war much was heard of the
possibility of holy war In India, OF
a holy war declared by the Turkish OF
other government of Mohammedan
character and of its spread or exten-
sion to India, to the danger and dis
comfiture of British interests. / have
heard such a contingency counted OF
as an asset by the people at war now
with the British empire.
THE faultfness Of such a prophecy
lies in the fact that India is not Mo.
hammedan land in the sense that the
Mohammedan population is in ma
jority or in the ascendant in influence
Quite the reverse Is true. Take India
as whole and it is anti-Mohammedan
India is a non-Christian land. but
nave no UNDERSTANDING ludt IL 10 eLAet
Christian, and certainly it is not mill
tantly anti-Christian. There are reli-
gious prejudices in India, but such ma
tionalistic tendencies as from time te
time have revealed themselves in India
are not founded on religious diner
ences, but on that desire for a national
existence which is felt in greater OF
less degree by all people. even when
their government is liberal, and the
people are prosperous and peacerul IN
comparison with their condition IN
other years. The difficulty about ma
tional aspirations in India Is that India
is not the land of one people, but OF
many peoples.
Another thing to be considered in
the case of India before l come to the
main question, or the religious ques-
ton, is that public opinion in India is
dominated by the classes having edu-
cation and intelligence. and when such
a condition prevails the soil is unfruit-
full for senseless agitation, and the out
eiyings of loose tongues and empty
pates.
ITO my mind the main defect in the
government of republics is that the
suffrage is usually so over-extended
that it includes too many men who do
not think, or, if they do think, they be-
gan their thinking on false, unsound
or mischievous premise, or have their
actions dictated by no firm settled con-
victions, but by momentary and lmpul-
sive Whims.
