cAYANAUGH tAUDsPASS
Boston College Coach Scores
Haughton's Suggestion to Cur
tail the Aerial Attack.

Frank w. Cavanaush, famous Dart
mouth College foot ball player and
coach, and now tutor at Boston Coll
lege, scores Percy Haughton's sug-'
gestion for tampering with tho
forward pass with view to cur
failing its scoring possibilities. Says
Cavanaugh:~ssa ~
when the forward pass was first
injected into the game I didn't like
the idea very much. The play was
not properly covered in the rules.,
The penalty for failure was too se-j
we're. The play in. itself was nj!
right. but the legislation that gov
erned 1t was all wrong. The big men
in the rules and went about making
the necessary changes as rapidly Is
possible. 1t is my very humble
opinion that all situations that can
arise over the use Of the forward
pass are very well covered I. am
for the play and perfectly satisfied
with the rules that cover 1t. / be-
lieve most coaches are OF the same
sIf certain limitations were placed
on the use of the forward pass within
certain zones tho use OF the play
would be greatly curtailed I believe
that the play Is not used often
enough. Therefore. to legislate
against its use would be to feke away
some of the real thrills OF the game.

It is generally believed that Cobb viii
be playing manager. as he said last
season that he was not through.
Cobb Joined the Tigers in 1905, coming
from the Augusta club of the South
Atlantic League. He went into the out
field, and In his first season batted for
an average of .240.
In 1906, however. he started his climb
toward fame. and in 1910 he developed
into .420 batter. His fiery style OF
play, both on the bases and at the plate,
caused him to be spoken OF as one OF
the greatest drawing cards in base bali.
For twelve years he led the batters of
the American League, with marks well
above 300.
Cobb was born in Royston, Ga. in
1885, and played his first professional
ball in 1904. At the close of the 1918
season he enlisted in the Chemical War
fare Service and attained the rank of
captain.
During the 1920 season the Georgian
was Kept out Of the game during much
OF the early part OF the season by in
lures. AT that time there was talk
tnat ne would take the managerial
reins Of the Tigers, and these rumors
were revived when JENNINGS announced
his resignation.
Jennings. Cobb's predecessor. had
much to do with Cobb's deveIonmenf
He assumed charge Of the Tigers in
1907 and piloted pennant- winning teams
IN that year and the two following sea-
sons.

The Knickerbockers, assembled Tor

times, the English five and the
Americans three. During the twenty
years the cup has been In competi-
ton it has travelled $4,000 miles. and
the teams that have been contesting
for it have traversed three times that
distance. These distances would be
much greater were it not for the
fact that the trophy has not been

the United States team that had won
the trophy from England the previ-
GUS year was outscored three matches

matches with Brookes and Wilding,
