Zimmerman Leaves

With Joe Tinker

NEW YORK. Jan. l0.-Ned Han
Ions secret visit to New York Tues
day may be explained in the depart
ure of Heine Zimmerman for Chi
cago last night The Bronx hero and
clouting third sacker of the Cubs an
nounced to friends yesterday that he
was on the eve of a joy ride to the
Windy City to discuss matters of
business with parties so anxious to
get into touch with him that they
had guaranteed all expenses of the
junket.
These friends of Zimmerman-who
would not in any way commit him
self-were sure that Heine had a
date with Joe Tinker manager of the
Chicago Federals. 1t Is said that the
temperamental Jimmie" absolutely
refused to meet Murphy on the lat
ters return from Europe about a
month ago. Cheerful Charlie made
every effort to get in touch with his
cratic athlete with the purpose of
signing him.
Zimmerman departure for Chi
cago strengthens the report from
that city that Joe Tinker had as
sured the Federal League at least
ten of the Cubs.

every six or seven years.
1t is very probable that Yale miss
ed a beautiful cnance for a touch
Gown in the third period of the Yale
Harvard game last fall In the be-
ginning of this period Yale started
the running game like a Yhirlwind,
and had Harvard up in the air The
team gave a splendid exhibition of
what the offense may do under the
present rules in an advance of some
thing like so yards, but when they
approached Harvard's goal line the
oldeidea cropped out that there was
no way of scoring unless by drop
kick.
No idea of risking a forward pass
or using the last down in running
attack for a possible touchdown. Not
only that, but as the team had the
ball to one side of the field, all the
downs were used with the idea of
getting into position for that kick.
This was exactly what Harvard ex
pected and played accordingly. II
looked like splendid opportunity
not taken advantage of.
TAKE, for instance, two other very
successful teams, Michigan and
Carlisle, and 1t is in this respect that
they differ from Yale or Harvard.
Neither of these teams used the ac-
tual forward pass so much, bht used
ii more as a threat to give their run
ming game a chance, and they We're
always after touchdowns, If a kick
formation was used, it was more apt
to be a fake 1t seems to me that
these teams used the forward pass in
its true proportion to the modern
game. With strong punch to their
attack, the forward pass was always
held as a threat to give this punch a
chance to be effective.
Teams like Pennsylvania that used
the open attack entirely-forward
pass double passes, delayed passes
were rot very successful against
Nide-awake and we'll ched defense.
Even at that. such game is more at

ton of any kind, all sorts of foot
ball was seen, and perhaps the most
interesting game in the country, as
we'll Limitations of material has
decided influence on the kind of game
played in most Southern colleges.
Kicking did not play any very impor-
tant part, but almost everything else
did.
Some teams used the open running
game entirely, and as a result ran
themselves out in the last part of the
game, while others mixed it more or
less. But the main point is that the
South is well satisfied with the pres
ent game and with its possibilities.

Forward Pass H. Declares Coach of Champion Auburn Team
DONAHUE SAYS LET FOOTBALL RULES ALONE

out the forward pass or potential
forward pass, the defense used would
be different and would make scoring
much more difficult than it is now.
Every defense is obliged to make
provision against possible forward
pass by the offense and thus give the
running game a better chance. Ger
tain players on the defense must be
kept back to guard against forward
passes, else they can be worked even
by team that is only mediocre in
the execution of them. Thus, while
the actual forward pass may be eff
fective in only rare instances, the
possible forward pass Is always there
and is of great assistance to any Of
Tense. Without it, the defense would
be too strong and we would have to
go to tinkering all over again.
On the other hand, no one wants to
see game made up entirely of for
ward passes. 1t would never suit an
American audience. and we already
have a basketball game. The main
attra ctiveness of the forward pass
under present conditions is its unex-
pectedness and the fact that the
weaker team always has a chance to
spring something. For this, and rea-
sons already stated. the forward pass
of football
w HAT the present game of foot
w ball needs more than anything
else is to be let alone and given a
chance to develop without continual
doctoring. We want a players game
and not a rule makers game. Give
the game a chance and after two or
three years experience. if there is
anything wrong, we can probably get
something like a unanimity of opin
ion as to the remedy
1t is claimed in the East that the
defense is too strong and that they
can't get touchdowns; that it is prac-
tically impossible to gain the neces-
sary distance inside the opponents
25- yard line against any kind OF de-
Tense. The trouble is not with the
game, but with the teams. They
don't try for touchdoWns, but are
obsessed with the idea that when in
your opponents territory the only
possible way to score is by field
goal.
1t has always been an established
precedent at Harvard that on the
last down within striking distance Of
the goal. no matter what distance
to gain, there is one thing, and only
one thing to do, and that is drop
kick.
With Bricl<ley at the propelling
end this system is working we'll but
Brickley is a "rara avis"
The Harvard system is probably
the most thorough in the country.
and the players are not overreached
as they have been at Yale, but the
Yale Harvard games would be far
more attractive nowadays if there
was a touchdown oftener than once
