NEW YORK. Jan. 10.-Ned Han

every six or seven years.
1t is very probable that Yale miss
ed a beautiful chance for a touch
down 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 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
approached Harvard's goal line the
old idea cropped out that there was
no way OF scoring unless by a drop
kick.
No idea Of risking a forward pass
or using the last down in a running
attack for 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. 1t
looked like a splendid opportunity
not taken advantage of.
TAKE, for instance, two other very
successful teams. Michigan and
Carlisle. and It is in this respect that
they differ from Yale or Harvard.
Neither of these teams used the ae-
tual forward pass so much, but used
IL more as a threat to give their run
ming game a chance, and they were
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

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 a 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 a 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 a game made up entirely of for
ward passes. 1t would never suit an
American audience, and we already
have a. basketball game. The main
attractiveness 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
is very essential TO the present game
of football,
M HAT the present game of foot
w ball needs more than anything
else is to be let alone and given 8
chance to develop without continue
doctoring. We want a players game
and not a rule makers game. Give
the game a chance and after two OF
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 1t 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 a 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 Brickley at the propelling
end, this system is working well. but
Brickley is "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

IN HE next item of interest in con-
nection with football will be
the meeting of the Rules Com
mittee. We have already heard sug-
gestions from one source or another
of what ought to be done to improve
the game. Most of these suggestions
have TO do with the forward pass,
and they range all the way from
those that would eliminate the for
ward pass entirely to those that
would make it the whole thing.
Those that oppose the forward pass
state, and bring forward statistics to
show, that the play is not successful
ten per cent of the time, and that it
helps opponents more often than it
does the team using it. All of which
may be true and probably is. but the
fact that is lost sight of is that with
