To add to my troubles, l soon De-

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

American audience, and we already
have a basketball game. The main
attractiveness of the forward pass
under present conditions is it's 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
is very essential to the present game
of football
M HAT the present game of foot
" 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 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-

5-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 IT
your opponents territory the only
possible way to score is by a fielC
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 Brici1ley at the propelling
end, this system is working well, 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
every six or seven years.
1t is very probable that Yale miss
ed a beautiful chance 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 whirlwind
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 60 yards, but when they

Grant and Superior
At Burlesque Show

A round boxing exhibition be-
tween Jimmy Grant the fast Chi
cago bantamweight, and Joe Supe-
rior, of this city. will be staged at
the Columbia Burlesque Theater in
addition to the regular show to-
night
Grant and Superior should put up
a fast go for six rounds, as both boys
are in good shape, due to their re-
cent bouts at the Auditorium Ar
mory. Grant has fought some good
boys here, having knocked out "Spi-
der" Britt in two rounds and also
held Kid" Young to a draw when he
was outweighed several pounds. Su-
perior stopped Kid Brooks in one
round last Tuesday.

Cubs Head Glasses
Federals as Takers

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-Charles w.
Murphy, of the Cubs, to-day classed
the Federal League promoters with
men in the fake patent medicine
business and sellers of worthless
mining stocks.
IF raising money under false pre-
lenses is still an offense, it seems to
me that people going around endeav-
oring to sell stock in Federal clubs
should either change their methods
or else the law might be invoked by
some of the deluded persons who are
said to be buying small blocks of
stock in those clubs" said Murphy.

And the Federal League had
better think over the above adage
and weigh it thoroughly.
Connected very prominently with
the American League is a pompous
gentleman possessed with a think
tank that is crowded with good COM
mon sense, a man who has yet to bow
before anyone in baseball, a man
who has never run second to any
body since he was crowned presi-
dent.
Yes, the Federal League had better
figure that their good ship has not yet
struck a Johnson squat.
But they're going to. And when
they do-well, yours truly will send

Nolans side. He was my represer-
tative, and l did not believe that he
had been treated right by the pro-
moter. The miXup caused quite a
sensation, and it was the talk of the
whole town for several days.
The match with Wolgast looked
further away than ever after this
trouble Still | felt more determined
than ever to get the champion into
the ring with me. But l was up
against it in trying to figure out a
plan to swing the deal. ! knew that
Coffroth would not talk business with
Nolan, and | could not very well
throw my manager down.
HAD long talk with Nolan, and he
was strong for taking on some
body else here, or else for going East
and hooking up in the short-round
bouts. But l could not see this at
all, for l had just returned from there
and did not want to break away with
a chance to win the championship.
Billy" | said, I'll go and see Coff-
roth myself and see what can do in
the way of making this match. But
you will still be my manager. All l
want to do is to talk with Coffroth,
You can do the rest"
Very well, Willie replied my man
ager you go and take chance.
But | advise you to be careful Get
what you can; but l suppose that you
will have to allow the champion 20
take everything
| dropped in on Coffroth the follow
ing afternoon, and, strange to relate.
we had everything fixed up in half al
hour. Neither Wolgast nor Tom Jones,
his manager was present. But they
did not have to be on the JOB, fof
Coffroth had already agreed to their
terms.
l knew that Wolgast was to get the
first SIS, 900 which came into the
house. | realized that he was the
champion, the big drawing card. and /
realized that | would have to gamble
for my end of it.
The promoter first tried to get me
to accept a fiat cash guarantee, but l
could not see this so we got together
after while and fixed things up on
sort of sliding scale.
7 THINK that I will prove pretty
good drawing card, Mr.. Coffroth,'
I said. "They will all want to see me
beaten, and they will give up their
money. Just give me chance, ana
see if | don't make good"
But you must remember: WINE;
that Wolgast is the champion ana
that l will have to give him pracu-
cally everything" replied Coffrofh,

guard. Worrell and Clements, who play

winter, are still palying the same posi-
tons this winter. Cook, the right guard,
is said to be a wonder.
