Louis Disbrow In a Simplex Zip both
broke the worlds dirt track record

In great measure this was due to

impossible to perfect the forward pass
so that the degree of accuracy could
count in favor of it.
With the advent of younger mentors
the old guard still on duty as coaches
have been forced to recognize its
worth by the way younger rivals have
perfected its use as scoring medium.
They have been shown that players
can be taught to use it and use it

MORE OPEN PLAY SEEN
ON FOOTBALL FIELDS

1.-THE foundation for the beginning OF
this realization in this section of the
country. The army's memorable de
i feat Of the navy at the Polo ground
was the browning feature needed tc
make all think. And thought they
have during the of season They have
weighed the play in the balance as IL
was never weighed before, and the
conclusion reached Is shown in the
style of play displayed by the elevens
in their initial workouts.
Princeton and Yale are setting the
pace just at present, but 1t is known
that a great deal Of attention is being
paid to il at all of the other Eastern
Iencampments. And for this reason
coaches are demanding more speed
than ever before. A combination of
heft and speed is the ideal combina-
ton, as always. but in cases where
it is a question of sacrificing heft to
get speed coaches are unhesitatingly
making the sacrifice.
The Spectators.
And this viii make the game far
more interesting for the army of spec
tators which annually pays homage
to the sport There remains only one
thing for the authorities to do to make
watching football games pleasure
rather than a guessing contest num-
Der the players.
It is well to start this agitation
early, for then it may exc its way
into the consideration of those who
have the power to make this "radi-
cal'' change before the big games
have been played
In spite OF the immortal quotation
of Ketcham, Yale,s 1913 captain, that
Yale players were playing for Yale
and glory and NOT for the newspapers,
when it was suggested that he num-

the ''fan" who helps materially in the

Suppose the same treatment was

would happen7 Baseball would be

may be advanced that baseball IS
more Of q commercial proposition than
