was there any difference in the
style of game played by the two sec
tions?
Football is played under the same
rules east, west, south and north.
Therefore the possibilities Of the
game in each section are the same.
There is very little difference in the
grade OF players
That narrows it down TO a ques-
ton Of coaching. ! would say the
superiority Of the west was the direct
result OF the coaching system.
Tie west unquestionably had the
wider and moro versatile attack
Western coaches seemed to instruct
their play,s to take a chance. In
the east the mentors seem much
more conservative.
Eastern coaches are inclined to
play the conservative game. and
hold the forward pass as a last re-
sort. A play to be used only when
desperate means are necessary.
In the west the toward pass is a
regular part OF the attack. With
many elevens 1t is the most danger
ous feature. In one OF the Western
Conference games I saw. one Of the
teams used a forward pass on the
second play OF the game that netted
60 yards.
The west certainly appears to have
developed the pass TO a far higher
state OF proficiency than the east
The passes are usually we'll masked
