"Father ofPass''
 Tells How Aerial
 Attack Started
BY JAMES !. coRnErr.

John Heisman, coach of the Pennsyi- vania eleven. acclaimed by many as the Father of the Forward Pass" says. in explaining it's introduction:
 The rough idea of forward passing first came to me back in 1895. I was coaching in the south that season. and North Carolina and Georgia In the course of it a Carolina back attempted to make 8 backward pass to another half just as he was about to be tackled by q Georgia player
 The North Carolina man made a pass all right, and it was caught, but it was a forward pass by about five feet, travel ing more laterally than in the forward but sufficiently forward to carry the ball and the receiver beyond the reach of the tackler, who easily enough downed the player who made the pass. The referee was not close enough to see that it really was forward pass, the receiver made his long run, and my recollection is that he scored touchdown or the play and thereby won the game.
 ''I saw then how easy it would be to outwit tacklers if a man were permit ted to make a forward pass. l saw that if such play could be made it would cause tackler to hesitate. It was, there fore, diametrically opposed to the whole theory and ground plan of football. But while it was illegal then to make for ward pass, l began to study all manner of backward and lateral passes to take advantage of the fact that tackling de- fense could not easily take account of a ball travelling through the air. As 2 re> suit, my teams for years played, I think. more passes of various kinds than any other in the land.
 When the hue and cry against foot ball (because of it's dangers) began to become insistent in the fall of 1900, my thoughts turned at once to the idea of in- jecting forward passes into the game as a means of opening up attack and de- fense. l spoke of it to a number of play CTS and coaches in Atlanta and other parts of the south. but they secuted the idea, declaring it wholly contrary to the spirit of the game. In this l agreed with them, but insisted that it would have at least the effect of opening up the game and making it freer of dangers. In this they agreed with me.
 Thereupon I wrote to a member or two of the rules committee but heard nothing in response. The next year I wrote again and two years later yet again, and finally after heslisastrous season of 1903, the for

CADETS TO LEAVE FOR
 NEW YORK CITY TODAY

West Point. N. Y., November 26-The United States Military academy will be virtually a deserted village tomorrow when the entire corps of cadets, ac- oompanied by their band and detach- ment of the hospital corps, leave for New York at Il a. m. to witness the Army Navy football game. The cadets will return early Sunday morning, but the football squad, which went to New YorH this morning, is not due to arrive home until Sunday evening.
 There is no overconfdence in the Arnly'a camp In fact, it is felt here that the Navy has a better team and ought to win.
 The soldiers are pinning all their hopes on their star fullback, French. The for mer Rutgers college star has been 9 demon speed king and scorer in every game this season, and if he can pass the Middies' scrimmage line the Army ex- poets at least an even chance.

 STYLISH WASP WINNER OF GA. FIELD TRIALS

Waynesboro, Ga. November 26.-The Georgia field trials were finished with the work of today which was character ized as the best ever seen on the fields. While birds have been good all the week, the dry weather had made scenting diff Ifcult
 Tho winners in the open derby were Stylish Wasp, first; Snapshot, second. with third divided between September Queen and Balle of Ferris. Stylish Wasp, the winner of first, is owned by Miss Marion Dupont of Mont pelier, Va, and was handled by Bob Armstrong. She went out strong and went into the second series with high class work, as good as any all-age dogs. This makes her seventh consecutive win of first in the derby. Snapshot did all his work in the first series He was steady to wing and shot on a good find. The two dogs winning third did all their bird work in the first series, and made it a tie all the way through.
 The old officers of the Georgia Field Trial association were reelected at the business session-Charlie Jordan of Monti- cello, president; J. K. Ottley of Atlanta, first vice president, and E. M. Wilder. secretary.

Both EIevens Hold Light Sig nal, Kicking and Catching Drill on Eve of Big Battle. Gotham Streets FIecked With Uniforms of Officers
By Associated Press

New York, November 26.- After short workouts at the Polo grounds today, the Army and Navy football teams are resting tonight in preparation for their annual game here Saturday afternoon.
 The practice of both the soldiers and middies was comparatively light con sstfng of signal driis, kicking and catcn- ing work to famiharize the players with the light and shadows of the baseball park in which the game will be staged
 TURF HEAVY
 While the rival servlce squads practice cd at separate hours and did not meet on the field, both the Navy and Army captains and coaches expressed satis- faction with the gridiron, ther only ad- verse comment being that the turf ap- peared to be a trifle heavy SIS a result of recent rains. Coach Folwell of the Navy, and Major Charles Daly, the Army coach reported their respective players and first substitutes to be m ex- celient condition for the hard game.
 NAVY FAVORITES
 Though the Navy eleven rules a slight favorite in the wagering, being quoted to win at odds of Il to 10, it is generally con ceded that the two teams appear to pc more evenly matched this season than in some years. The Army possesses an all- round star in French, who from his backfield position has scored more touchdowns, goals and field goals than any other player on the West Point team while the Navy cannot offer similar individual performer, the eleven is a well balanced, fast, aggres- sive combination capable of playing hard football.
 The hotel section of the city today be- gan to show evidence of the. arrivals of out of town spectators for the game, and by nightfall Navy and Army uni- forms were conspicuous in most of the leading hotels and restaurants, While theatre boxes were in demand for vari- ous parties.
 Among the early arrivals from official government circles of Washington were Secretary of the Navy Daniels and nls family and Secretary of War Baker and party. Special trains will bring the great majority Of nonresident spectators to the city during the forenoon hours of tomor- row, including the entire Annapolis and West Point Academy cheering squads. The Middies and Cadets are expected to reach the city in time for luncheon after which they will march direct to the Polo grounds for the game.

ward pass became an integral part of the game.
 While may claim with propriety that football was mine, I frankly admit that the splendid restraining rules originated with others. They came mainly, I be- lieve, from Walter Camp.
 People who go to a ball game like to see the ball. In baseball they don't care to see one batter after another go up and strike out all afternoon; they want Us sec the ball hit far and often. It's the same in football. They don't care to watch grim, deadly, grinding out of one or two yards at time. What they want is to get good look at that old ball. And they get it with the forward pass ing game in force.'

Stone Out To SefSon1eNeu
 Marks Today

Larry Stone, worlds dirt track champion, setting out for another basketful of state and southern records, along with nearly a dozen of other dirt track speed stars competing in , seven race events, will mark the final day of the Elks' Bene- fit Auto races at the Alabama State fairgrounds this after noon.
 This afternoons race card, due to start at 2:90 promises to excel the splendid events of Thursday. The races will be preceded by the Motor Style show, the first of it's kind to be held in the south, and will be followed by the concluding game of auto polo between the British and American teams.
 THREE MAJOR RACES There will be three major race events this afternoon, ''The Battle of Champs oCt"CGu CAldliiDlOb 1bdIIS ClOIit, Canadian champion Walters and midwest champion Lamar Robinson. This will be three miles from g. rolling start and will carry with it the International Motor Contests association worlds champion ship cup, now held by Stone.
 The final 15 miles of the 25-mile speed classic, the Alabama sweepstakes, will see eight entries and will probably prove the feature card of the afternoon, sec ing in contest Stone in the Premocar, Robinson in the Chalmers, which led Stone such a fast pace in the first 10 miles of the event; Waters in the Chevrolet; Rountree in Essex 1; Lewellyn in Sev- erin 34; Sarles in Rajo 2; Gray in Rajo 3; Costa in Fiat 2s. and Buchanan in Drexel IL
 The light car class race will see Roun- tree in Essex 1, Robinson in Chalmers 2 and Gray in Rajo ..
 The handicap pursuit event will have Waters, Robinson, Lewellyn and Roun- tree in the running, Tho handicaps will be assigned from time made in the time trials on Thursday. There will be no time trials today.
 STEVE IN FINAL TRIALS
 In the special time trials Larry Stone will set out from one to five miles,, with clocking of the intermediate distance in an effort to establish five additional state records to the three which he copped Thursday. Stones 10 miles in 10:2t is a southern dirt-track record for 10 miles. It is thought that if the cham pion can keep up such pace in the free-for-all event he will set new mark for 15 miles for the south.
 Stone will also set out to lower his own track record for a mile in s l-5 in the Benz, with the Blitzen Benz, touted as the highest priced and most powerful race car in the world. Stone in making 5f seconds in the Premocar knocked one second off the record set by Louis Disbrow, and lowered Disbrows mark nearly two seconds with the Benz
