True, the legislation governing the.
pass is the same between the. TWO goal
lines. but a team using 1t In the OPP
POSITIONS territory can AFFORD to take
the chance OF it being caught BY tho
opposition.
IL the forward pass is to be put on.
equal terms with the running attack
In the matter or legislation ali passes
not caught or fumbled by tho attack
ing team should be tncomnleted. Fun
bled passes should go first to the.
team recovering then, just as all other
fumbles do. But the team passing
ff the two plane or advancing the bali
re to be even should not lose pos
session OF the ball when the opposi.
ton catches iE This. then, should 20
en- 1ncompleted forward pass.
New Rule Needed.
Such a rule, while radical to many.
is the simple way Of clearing the way
Tor the forward pass II the football
0solons think the game should be more
evenly balanced between light ann
heavy men all that is needed IS legts-
5latton to this effect. II they think
otherwise then such rule will not
be passed. It IS all a matter OF opin-
ion II a coach has good big men to
work with he will oppose such rule
On the other hand. If his material is
light, It Is human for the coach to.
wish for such legislation.
Whatever is done the pass should
not be removed from the game and no
further restrictions should he placed
upon 1t. The public. which pays the
football bill, likes the open attack. Ii
hns added e, thrill to the game that nd.
other kind Of football has ever given
the spectator. 1t is less wearing on
the contestant than the running game
and the chances OF injury are slighter-
I know that the development OF the
forward pass calls for more thought
on the part Of the coach than the run-5
ming attack and that, even granting
this fact. it makes the game q better.
one for the player. He has more re-
apousib ity, and must assert more
skill and initiative. On the whole the
contest become a battle between play
ers rather than one between coaches.
Best Kind OF Sport.
After all, it might be we'll to direct
the game in this direction. An even
break with the result resting almost
entirely In the hands or the contes-
tants is about the kind OF sport Amer
lean boys need. Good sportsmanship,
Hgentlemanly conduct and clean play.
All depending on the players Initiative
are pretty good lines to follow In shapz
Ing the destiny OF intercollegiate foot
ball. Boys should be taught that the
size OF the brain, not the size OF the.
body, wins victory. NJ

NE w RULE NEEDED
ON FORWARD PASS


Granting that what are We going to
do about the forward pass? There is
a tendency to reduce its possibilities
as weapon ON attack which Is bal
anced, in a measure, by the belief,
and a correct one. that the light team
which is forced to use 1t more than
the heavy team. is nc: able to fight on
equal terms Wfth5rhe heavy team. This
fact alone will prevent any radical
legislation TO further cripple it, even
granting that the public likes the
aerial attack best OF ALL Had the
season proved otherwise, had it proved
that skitlful. light players could with
this attack, cope on equal terms with
5skillful, heavy players, featuring the
running attack. the forward pass
would have bad days ahead This isl
because the larger universities prac-
ttcally control the football rules COM
mtttee and the larger universities
have, as rule, the good, big players
who are best fitted to rush the ball
The future Of the forward pass is
merely matter Of whether the feel
ing Is uppermost that a small and
.skillful tenn should have an equal
chance with a large eleven IT this is
the opinion Of the men who maize
football rules then the forward pass
is coming into its own. If this Is not
the view held BY the majority OF
these men the open attack will net be
permitted to give the team skilled IN.
it an even chance with the big eleven
which uses the rushing game as the
groundwork OF It's attack
.$ Few Ideal #EleYens.
or course the big team which has
mastered q varied attack, that is one
which can rush or pass with equal
ability, Is the ideal combination. But
football has produced too few OF these
elevens. The season just ending, as
have all previous seasons since the
pass was born. is no exception, al
though there was more passing In the
East.
AS the rules stand today they favor
the running game There is no qnes-
ton OF this. Indeed, the whole theory
of the present game shows It. The
game today is to Keep the ball In the
attack can be used when team 1B
under the shadow of It's own goal rree
OF danger, except for fun bling But
the passing alta ck--no The legis-
Hlationg governing the Forward pass is
such that It can be recovered by the.
defending team Such a recovery
near the goal line either results in a.
touchdown By the opposition or places
the team which forward passed on the
defense near its goal line No matter
how sk1llful an eleven may be at pass
ing It dare not try 1t In its own terri
tory for this reason. Let me Illus
trate By an example which, though
several years old, vii suffice.
Favors Light Team.
Harvard. using a powerful running
attack and possessing a heavier team,
defeated Washington and JEFFERSON IN
1914, 1913. Washington and Jefferson
could rarely gain possession OF the
ball In Harvard territory IN order, to
use Its passes effectively and without
danger. IN consequence. Washing ton
and Jefferson was forced to play a de-
fensive game On attack; IN HarYard's
territory. 1t was able to gain con-
sistent1y. but it could not get the ball
IN that part OF the field sufficient

CHEERFUL WORDS

For many a High Point House
hold

To have the pains and aches of a
bad back remOved-tO be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous uri-
nary disorders, is enough to make
any kidney sufferer grateful. The
following adviceof one who has suf-
fered will prove helpful to hundreds
of High Point readers.
Mrs. R. B. Welborn, 313 E. Wash
ington ST., High Point, says: Il am
always willing to testify to the mer-
it of Doan 8 kidney Pills, for | know
that they live up to the claims
made for them in every way. I
was afflicted with kidney complaint
for more than five years and my
back was so lame and sore that it
was hard for me to move. Spots
often appeared before my eyes and
| became so dizzy that | could not
stand / took Doan's Kidney Pills
according to directions and they re-
stored me to better health than |
had known for many years."

MarO0ned Persons on No. II
Tell Sad Story

A better insight into conditions
existing in the Marion section has
been brought to the city by passen-
gers who worked their way through
via Blacksburg, S. c., across the
CataWba in boats and into Greens
.boro on train No. 46 Friday night.
Among the party was Sherwood
brockwell, an employee of the, state
insurance department who had been
to Marshall to address teachers
institute Saturday. Rain poured in
Marshall at times Saturday, and af-
ter making his talk, he caught train
No. IL, getting as far as Marion.
where he and about 200 others were
marooned until they got out yester-
day, by train over the line from
Marion to Blacksburg. r.
Mr.. Brockwell was formerly chief
OF the Raleigh fire department.. and
took training in New York.. He
tells an interesting story of the des-
olation in that section of the state.
Marion was reached Saturday even
ing and the train pushed slowly for
ward to Nebo, but the little. creeks
had already assumed the proper
tons of great rivers. They succeed.
ed in backing to Marion where the
train stopped. together with another
which was headed toward the noun
tains.
For the first day or so food on the
diner about supplied the crowd but
this gave out Tuesday. Not a word
had come to them from outside, the
rains poured almost necessarily, ex-
cept a few minutes SunCay after
noon when the sun broke through
for short while. Some of the pas
sengers went to the hotel and the
rest sought out homes. 1t became
necessary for a few to organize a
pool for fund to provide necessaries
for some of the passengers who
were travelling without sufficient
funds for marooning,"
The city of Marion suffered chief
Iy by a serious break in the water
line, and efforts are being made to
put the deep wells at the old distil-
lery- into condition, so water can be !
into the city lines until re-
pairs can be made. A car of flour
was on a siding and it became neces-
sary for officials to confscate part
of this Wednesday and rush it, via
mule back, and any other way pos
sible. to the Black Mountain section.
At first, while the downpour con-
tinued. Marion had plenty of meat,
but no vegetables. Later farmers
came in with vegetables, finding a
:eady market-cash on delivery.
scouting parties went into fields,
picked up potatoes, beets and other
God articles that had been washed
lp and took them into town to feed
he crowds.
Marion people did all they could to :
make the passengers comfortable.
No loss of life was reported in the
Marion section, and it
appears that the line to Blacks
,urg did not suffer as much as some
# the other lines. Conditions be-
ween Old Fort and Ashevile are
eported very bad. The first info-- I
nation to reach Marion came from ,
dorganton way, by man using a S
ord awhile and fording and using
mother Ford awhile.-Greensboro t
