STAND BY AERIAL GAME
Coaches Are Not Favorable to
Haughton's Plan to Curb Use
of Forward Pass.

NEW YORK. November 24-The
suggestion recently advanced by
Percy D. Haughton, former Harvard
foot ball coach. that a forward pass
blocked behind the line OF scrimmage
be subject to recovery by the defend
ing team, has not been met with favor
by many coaches.
William H. Chg BID Edwards.
former Princeton captain. said 'if
they keep on changing the rules they
will kill the game"
Chick Meehan, Syracuse coach. de-
clared that the suggestion, il adopted.
would tend to make the game less
open, because passes would be more
dangerous and light college elevens
would be handicapped.
Buck O'Neal. Columbia coach. said
such a grounded pass would cause a
lively scramble in which players
would be more liable to injury.
Bob Folwell. head coach of the
Navy, said he had not given the idea
much thought, but he believed it was
worth while considering.

Central and Tech in Final Game
Today-Eastern and Business
Play Tie.

The high school foot ball season will
end this afternoon with Tech and Cen
trail fighting for the title in a game at
American League Park. but these old
rivals probably will not wage battle
as bitter az the one in Central stadium
yesterday. Eastern and Business, who
entered the fray without a victory to
the credit of either during the league
campaign, struggled desperately through
four scoreless periods Tho game left
them tied for the doubtful cellar hon.
ors, but each eleven put up q fight
worthy of championship aggregations.
Eastern had the punch that SO
startled other cOntenders in the title
race, but Business, instead Of being a
combination Of weaklings that had pro-
vided mere practice for other members
Of the circuit. offered q stanch defense
that repeatedly withstood the Capitol
Hill assaults. In running and passing
games. the Light Blue and White con-
sistently outpIayed the Stenographers
when the ball was between the 20-yard
lines. When the Business goal was
threatened seriously, it was another
story. It was q so-called moral VIC
tory for the Stenographers.
One Of the flashy attacks that has
marked Eastern's play all season car
ried the ball to Business 15-yard line
in the first. before the Capitol Hill boys
were repulsed. In the second period.
Eastern managed to reach the 5-yard
line just as half time was called. Busi-
ness solved its opponents air attack in
the second half and held the Fasteners
at bay

The story of the scrap is simply
