thus within the space Of five minutes
achieving the first and second national
records for the feat.
Joseph Fitzgerald OF Harvard reeled
off the third longest run in this manner
and very properly against Williams.
Fitzgerald, i'm accomplishing his long
run with a completed forward pass, led
rout Of Williams at the latter's own
game. in a battle In which Williams
threw nineteen forward passes, OF which
only eight were successful and in which
Harvard countered with eight attacks
By air, OF which four succeeded. On the
opening of the second half Joseph Fitz-
gerald appeared as quarterback for Har-
ward In place of Charles Buell.. Catch
ing Willams's kickoff Fitzgerald ran It
back thirty-six yards to Harvard's 40
yard line Out OF n close formation now
shot a short forward pass, flung by
Churchill and caught by Fitzgerald on
the so yard line. Swiftly sitting
through the Williams players one OF
whom was the great Boynton, Fitzgerald
reached the goal line and scored a touch
down.
Comparatively few forward passes
when one takes into account the large
number OF flings--have been intercepted
this fall and run through to a touchdown.
This means that the teams executing
forward pass invariably have thrown mp
an impregnable barrier 10 tho possible
run back of an intercepted pass. II is
very unfortunate that the majority OF
football spectators have not advanced
far enough in their observation or play
TO notice the especial tactics employed
by all teams the instant they throw a
forward pass to prevent possible run
back. The average spectator naturally
watches the ball observes the intercept
ton and from that moment has his eye
only for the team with the ball, whereas
the most powerful defensive work in
football Is being overlooked on the part
of the team which attempted the pass.
The longest run off an intercepted
forward pass--ninety-three yards--was
made by o. q. Oden of Brown against
Springfield. Springfield began the game
in a manner that filled Browns follow
ers with apprehension. Drive followed

ondary defences and on down the field

Other notable names that reflect from
the list OF players scoring by long runs
from scrinmage this autumn sire Walter
French of the Army. James Leech Of
Virginia Military Institute. Benjamin
Boynton Of Williams and Charles Ash
Way OF Pennsylvania state.
The data or the seasons scoring runs
from scrimmagc LUMINOSITY disclose
that The great majority Of thom have
been 60 and 60 yards in length. Hence
n corollary to be deduced theresrom IS
that a team on defence between its
opponents 80 and 40 yard lines is pc
culiarly exposed to the danger OF long
run from scrimmage.

ing runs in returning punts brings us 70

method and u the secord longest run

forward pass zone, out upon the field.
Gathering speed as he ran, he lodged,
eidestepped straight armed. halted,
swerved and employed every art OF the
skiful back, the white lines flying back
ward beneath his feet until he had
passed every opponent and raced TO n
touchdown.
Football men are familiar with the
list Of record runs published annually
in the Football Guide and which includes
every run accomplished In the major
games of the country from 1873 to date.
For many years this list has been headed
by the name Of George McCaa Of La
fayette. who made a run Of 10 yards
from scrimmage against Swarthmore
October Is. 1909. in the days when -
playing field was 10 yards in length.
The name OF Ben Boynton will now take
its place also at the top of this list OF
record runs.
Scoring by running back punts this
fall has been scarcer than long scoring
runs from scrimmage. Out of the many
thousands of punts only thirty-six car
be found In the intercollegiate games OF
the country which had been carried back
for touchdown, and games won by this
method are limited TO the astounding
number Of only two. The most success

in the hundreds of intercollegiate games
OF the United States only forty-six fatal
fumbles occurred in 1920. BY fatal
tumble is not meant tumble which
cost the loss OF game but tumble
which is recovered and run through to
the goal line. Out Of these forty-six
fumbles fortune in only two instances
penalized the culprit with a defeat.
The longest run to touchdown result >
Ing from fumblcd ball was achieved
by Chester Bolles OF Trinity, who picked
up tumble of New York University on
his own 90 yard line and in twelve sec
onds accomplished a score for his own
eleven.
Three other players closely contest
with Boiles the honor for first place, all
three having to their credit runs Of
eighty yards 70 touchdown with cap
tured tumble. These three competitors
of Bolles are D. I. Barron OF Georgia

Purdue 1t occurred near the close of
the second quarter. Gipp was given the
ball for an off-tackle plunge. His tre-
mendous impetus shot him completely
through The Purdue line and we'll into
the secondaries. Recovering his balance,
which had been lost coming through the
line Gipp knitted and sliced his way be-
tween the secondarics until he cleared
the corps OF line supporters and then
dashed down the field straight at the
last defender. Coming up with him.
Gipp raced around him the familiar
quadrant that has carried SO many fly

Blocked Kicks ApIenty.

No play in football is more thrilling
than the block Of Il kick. the recovery
OF the ball and run TO touchdown. The
familiar and sxhilarating sound Of the
blocked kick lends excitement to the OK
plolt and like the explosion of a cannon
IS an integral part of the attack. The
season Of 1890 presented n return 10 the
block kicking assaults which ia recent
years have not been in vogue owing TO
the necessity Of weakening the defence

pectedly result from a kick formation

qucncy and effect.
The longest run achieved by any
player capturing blocked kick was
made by J. J.. Cheeves In the game Of
Georgia vs.. Alabama. IL was eighty
two yards in length. and is doubly re-
9plendent because II won the game
Alabama at tho time was leading and
was about to increase it's score by
drop kick against Georgia. Cheeves. a
quarterback. in a desperate attempt TO
avert defeat leaped through the centre
of the Georgia line. Wechel. however
a guard on tho Georgia team, beat
Cheevcs TO the Alabama fullback and
blocked the kick. Cheeves seized the
ball and leaped into the long flight Of
eiGhty-two yards down the field for
touchdown and the game.
Fifty yards intervenes between
Checves's performance and that of his
nearest competitor for first honors
Handy Of North Carolina made the sec
ond longest run OF this character
thirty-two yards-against South Caro-
lima. This run also won the game in
which Il occurred.

The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1920-12-12

The longest forward pass thrown this
fall. which was caught and carried
through to a touchdown. was hurled by
that mighty player OF the Middle West.
George w. Gipp OF Notre Dame, who
threw pass forty-fve yards down the
field to Barry, who stood behind North
westerns goal line. Northwestern opened
the game aseressively with a perplexing
array OF dazzling forward passes These,
however. Notre Dame regularly beat to
the ground. George Gipp did not come
into action until the fourth period OF
the game lie Immediately signalized his
entrance into play by opening up ter
rifle fuslllade of forward vases against
his opponents. Notrc Danes system
depended upon the ball being thrown TO
a certain spot and the ability of the
receiver to outrun the defenders and
take the pass on the spot.
Paul Cashier. also Of .Notre Dame, has
the honor of having thrown the second
longest forward pass--forty yards This
toss was made i'm the game against Pur-
due and was caught by Grant. who ran
thlrty-five yards for touchdown. Ed
ward Barry Of Montana threw a similar
90 ss--forty yards--to Carver of the
Montana eleven. Inc latter was stand
ing behind his opponents goal inc and
Immediately made the touchdown.
Leading Forward Passer.
The most successful forward pass
throwcr In the United States. measured
by results. has been Harry Workman OF
Ohio state. whose passes won two great
games. In the game against Wisconsin
Ohio state obtained the ball on punt
cighty-nine yards distant from their op-
ponents' goal line and with only four
minutes to play. Opening up forward

ono type OF pass and then another. carry
ing the ball down the field, whereby
pass OF twenty-five yards TO Gaylord
Stinchcomb scored q touchdown In the
