STYLE OF
PLAY SAVED
FOOTBALL
Game Would Long Since Have
Been Abolished if 1t Had
Not Been Introduced.
By SOL METzGER)
Coach of the Washington and Jeiier.
CON EnOiho1I irnntn


intercollegiate football owes its life
TO the open game. During the doubt
full days following the season of 1905
il seemed doomed because mass plays
and beef" turned the tide of victory
and defeat. Up until that time rough
play and unsportsmanlike conduct
hourished because the mucker could
hide his dirty work in the scrimmage,
and injury-not always accidental
was common. Tho public rightfully
demanded a clean game-one which
put a premium on craftsmanship,
strategy and speed. Had these quail
ties not been substituted for brutal
play and sheer physical power foot
ball stood to be abolished.
Forward Pass is Born.
Thus was born the forward pass
and thus died the old mass plays
wherein the runner was pushed, pulled
and pummelled. The result was a
game which. while exacting strategy Of
coaches and generalship and indiyid-
ual initiative of players in no way
sacrificed the splendid qualities Of
courage and cooperation that have
always characterized this sport.
Yet the change was gradual, rather
than immediate, due in part to a ten
dency among coaches to hold to form
err principles. But the constructive
minds OF football welcomed the new
scheme of things, particularly the for
ward pass, as they saw therein oppor-
tunity to make the results Of contests
matter of skill rather than of avoir-
dupois. And while 1t must be grant
ed that many successful teams have
not used this means Of attack there
is ample evidence that the forward
pass ranks on equal terms with the
most powerful running offense as a
weapon OF attack.
Defense the Key to Success.
Defense has ever been the key to
success in football. For years it has
been demonstrated that the team
which checks the opposition's attack
cannot be defeated. Therefore. when
the forward pass was given to foot
ball the first problem Of the strategist
was to create a defense for 1t. In or
der to produce a successful defense
coach must know or sense the at
tack. AS few Of them adopted the
forward pass as an instrument Of at
tack the defense they determined upon
was based on theory and was not very
sound. 1t did not provide for practi-
cal contingencies; but 1t did prove q
running otfense was possible in view

And now II looks like We would be
married the last week in October, al
though / will be rushed to death to
get ready in time. wish l could af-
ford to give up my position in Mr..
Weeghman's office, but can make
good use Of the money make there
and will stay until week or two be-
fore the wedding.
Dick came out yesterday forenoon
with several clippings from the papers
with different Oats that were for rent.
I'VE must look at the ones we think
will be least expensive" said l.
So we picked out ono that he thought
would DO just right for US. 1t was
-four rooms over on Wabash near
Flfty-seventh street. They wanted $50
per month for 1t, but when had
looked at II / saw 1t was not worth
that money.
1T is a good thing / am with you"
! told Dick. II believe l am more
practical than you and you will have
to let me DO the business manager"
So w0 looked at several more on
Wabash and Indiana and / believe
dear foolish Dick would have taken
anything they showed US, but would
not allow him TO be imposed on. The
apartment We finally chose was not on
his list, but we saw the for rent sign
In the window as we passed by It.
On Dicks salary that will leave us
S35 per month for living expenses
and clothes after the rent Is paid, and
we should be ablo to get along on
that easily and put somo by for a
rainy day, especially after Dick gets
his increase.
Next week We are going to look
at furniture and we can got some bar
gains II we take plenty OF time and
look around carefully. AS long as we
can get good player plano and
nice living room and dining room sets,
do not caro- so much about the rest
of 1t.

near its end, between the fingers and
thumb with the palm upward and the
long axis Of the ball pointing toward
the mark. The pass is made in much
the same way that an outhelder throws
a baseball to the home plate. A spiral
pass should always be used. 1t travels
farther and with more speed, and can
be thrown more accurately. 1t always
reaches the receiver in the same po-
sition and has just enough bow to its
course to pass over the heads Of the
intervening opposition without danger
of being blocked. This spiral motion
is given to the ball by whipping lie
fingers across it Just as 1t leaves the
hand. In receiving a forward pass a
player catches it as he does a kicked
ball.

Of the fact that there was a great
or separation than ever before between
the defensive rush line and backheld.
The forward pass paved the way for
strategy and generalship. Football
soon became contest of minds, rather
than of Drawn.
Indians Use Pass.
Teams like the Carlisle Indians and
the University of Idaho did the pion-
eer work with the forward pass. The
former, taught by Glenn Warner, won
overwhelming victories by this means
from standard formations. The latter
upset all tradition in the Pacific north
west with its somewhat freak style of
offense known as the Idaho spread"
These early attempts were successful
because they brought an element of
surprise into the attack. Also they
proved the pass had possibilities and
directed attention to it.
The development was gradual. BY
1913 the pass proved to be sound STRAIT
egg, capable Of defeating a superior
running attack on the part of super
ior men physically. In that year the
Army, coached by Charley Daily. won
most spectacular and notable victory
over the Navy by means of long for
ward passes. The following season
saw Washington and Jefferson coached
by Bob Folwell, rise from middle po-
sition almost to the apex in eastern
football, when his team, using a short
forward pass, overwhelmed Yale and
COPIED on all but equal terms with
Harvard, missed goal from touch
down alone causing defeat Indeed,
the most versatile running attack the
game has ever seen was no more than
equal to the new scheme of offense.
Open Game Hns Advantage.
One does not have TO go far for
evidence TO substantiate the fact that
the open game, when properly en-
ployed, is a match for the running at
tack, even when the odds of weight,
strength and experience are with the
opposition. While this may be de-
plored by some 1t is nevertheless a
fact. 1t must be taken into considera-
ton in the problem Of attack this sea-
son. While those elevens which have
mastered the running attack are like
ly to continue with it Just as those
teams which have employed the pass
with telling results seem duty bound
to stand by their methods, there is n
tendency. particularly in the middle
West to evolve an offense combining
the two, which should prove best in
the long run. The East is conserva-
tive even in football. Missouri may
have to show the way.
There are two ways to execute O
successful forward pass. One is Ia
maneuvre the eligible man or men who
receive 1t into stationary position
where there are no opponents. The
other Is to get the eligible man or
men past the defense by fast running
so that they will receive the ball while
at full speed. Washington and Jeffer-
son used the former, the Navy the
latter. Each is equally effective. And
in each the passer must be protected
from opposing linemen until the ball
is thrown. In all pass plays certain
players must back them up in order
to tackle any opponents who may
catch the ball. Otherwise these OPP
ponents would score touchdowns
against the team passing.
One Way to Throw Ball.
There is but one way to throw the
forward pass. The ball should be held
