The kicking and the use OF the head Is
much better than in the West. yet the

which makes the game 30 interesting
when played by experienced teams. At
times play was permitted to drag badly

Football coaches. especially in the
east, all seem to favor the direct pass
from the center to back. The Ave games
this fall have seen the ball snapped
to quarter and by him passed to the
runper just four times. The fact that
in each Of the FOUR instances the play
was smothered without gains does not
prove that the old style Of passing.
used perhaps most successfully by
Houghton's Harvard teams. would not
be effective under present conditions.
Football players have told mo that
the hadest ball TO follow Is ono snapped
to the quarter, then passed and that
they can detect much more easily which
back Is to receive the ball on the direct
pass than on the indirect.
Western teams seem to be usin" both
styles Of passing and mixing them up,
which perhaps Is better than either
style alone.
