opened up the play. II removed the
premium that had always been
placed on weight. IL added the ele.
ment OF uncertainty to an alarming
degree.
IL didn't take long for the public
to express its approval OF the new
football. Today teams that once re-
earded 5000 as big crowd are draw
ing 25, 900 or more. Open play, which
originated with the forward pass. has
been the magnet that has won the
approval OF the sportloving public.
Football coaches are well aware Of
the fact. In practice much attention
is paid 10 developing the open game.
Yet in actual competition there seems
to be great fear on the part OF
many coaches to open up. They re-
frain from playing the game the pub
lie came TO see. simply because Of
the great uncertainty the forward
pass entails Recently ] saw a team
beaten 7 10 o. insist on playing the
old style OF game until only six min
utes of time remained. Then the
coach gave orders TO open up and
four passes netted 10 yards. The
whistle blew with the ball within
the opponents 20-yard line. The at
tack had started too late. Such IL
the fault Of great many coaches.

beat Keiser. The victory won
much praise for the young
ster.
Young Bob Fitzsimmons Is
a clean cut, good-looking
chap. A certain critic in dis
cussing the youngster, said
he was much better looking
than his dad. That is hardly
fair TO young Bob, as the old
fellow had no more claim to
beauty than has Nick Ait
rock, and Nick admits he is
no matinee idol. Any one
who saw old Bob in action
will readily recall the funny
legs, the sea of freckles and
the bald bean.
Fitzsimmons' greatest as
set was his hitting power.

Stadium field. which has been

ruby Robert" figured he
could defeat any fighter he
could hit, and he usually
managed to hit 'em. HIS
hands finally went bad on
him, but before they turned
to chalk, Bob carried a knock
out punch in either hand that
had only to travel a few
inches to turn the trick.
Strangely enough, young
Bob seems to lack the thing
that made his father famous,
the sleep-producing walIop.
Young Bob is perhaps more
scientific than his dad was
in his prime, but the old
"kayo" seems lacking. In>
this respect nature appears
to have played a peculiar
prank.

Every fistic fan who has

valorous deeds, knows what
that means.
Bob Fitzsimmons is dead,
but his fistic deeds will live

fighter at his weight ever

heavyweight title he was n

OF course, Hoppe, who was
