It has been ascertainsd that the
successful passes far outnumber those
which are intercepted. The proper
ton Is declared to be as five 10 one.
Do not get intercepted and incom.
pleted confused. The ircompleted
successful by q greater margin, II
may be, than five to one. While the
data on that score Is not quite so
authentic the figures appear to be
rational.
An incompleted pass is one which
gains nothing for the attacking side,
bringing about the loss OF a down. or
if IL be the last down, the possible
loss of the ball.
Better Than Line Plays.
With all the figures confronting the
Western statisticians they make the
claim that the forward pass is a bet
ter play than running the ends or
trying to break through the line That
is little exaggerated. Viewed even
from the standpoint of sonie Eastern
men who have been more lenient to-
ward the pass than others Of their
fellows
The point made in the West is that
the worst which can happen on the
failure OF a forward pass to get
through Is the loss Of q down. II the
attacking side attempts a running
play, II may not only lose distance,
but 1t may lose the ball. or course.
II II loses or gains II sacrifices a
down. II the pass is intercepted
which happens very infrequently, ac-
cording to the figures, the attacking
side loses the ball.
1t Is argued that where the penalty
Is only the loss of q down ii Is much
wiser to build UP an attacking plan
through the use of the forward pass
than by the persistent employment Of
running or line plays. The penalty for
the forward pass is 80 light. as COM
pared with the pepalties which are
prescribed against other plays on the
gridiron, that II Is good policy to un-
dertake a new system in playing foot
bali.
On that line two or three Western
coaches have been busy through the
winter going further into the develop
ment Of the forward pass than IL ever
has been gone before, with the purpose
which Is founded almost entirely on
the forward pass, as opposed to pre-.
vailing line and end plays.
The Wisconsin coaches who have
always been partial to the forward
pass and those who are in charge at
Ohio State and Indiana, II Is said,
have devised new things in football
which show more marked development
Of the forward pass attackk than any
thing that has taken place to date In
the game.
Strategy Of the Past.
Their strategy is based largely upon
descriptive plays, which are presumed
to draw the defence out of place, and
when they haye succeeded in getting
the secondary defence where II IL al
most useless, as they hope to do un.
der the n-w order of things. they Will
play the ball over their heads.
At Wisconsin they insist the for.
ward pass never has been employed as
Il should be. It's possibilities have
been ignored IN the past because the
old line coaches taught that It was a
play easily broken up and devoid OF
ground gaining ability. Wisconsin In.
sists that II has been easily broken UP
only because the coaches have been
too averse to It to bring out It's strong
points, and this year In the Western
Conference the forward pass game
will be one OF the most prominent fea.
lures Of the campaign. ..'

Sam. As Fans Will Remember
Was Thrown In for Trade
Of Iris Speaker.

When the Boston Red Sox sold
Iris Speaker to Cleveland in 1915 for
$4,000 the Cleveland club also tossed
in Pitcher Sam Jones and Infielder
Fred Thomas for good measure.
..Ha,, ha! who's Sam Jones? Sam
Jones for Speaker, that's a laugh,
guffawed the bi gleague fans. =
However, right now Cleveland
probably would be willing to hand
another $50, 900 check to Boston to
ret "Jonesie" back. for this lad Sam
is now quite a pitcher.
Next to Faber's great twirling with
the seventh place White Sox, the
pitching performances given by Jones
IN Boston have been the best and
most consistent in the American
League this year. .
Jones never did much in Boston
until Ed Barrow took hold of the
club in 1918. However, Bill Carrisan
probably started Jones on his way
10 be a great pitcher. as Holy Cross
Biii was almost as clever as Robby
in developing twirlers. n
when Shore went into the navy
tr 1918 and Dutch Leonard into an
ammunition plant, Jones got his
chance on Barrow's regular staff and
was one OF Boston's leading curvers
when the Red Sox won their last
flag. the championship OF 1918.
Through all the numerous shifts
ara changes that have been made on
che Red Sox since 1918 Jones has
s,ucl< Inanfully to the Boston craft,
.lways giving II the best he had.
This wear he has been even better
than in the past, and his great work

THAT TWO-TENTH's MILL TAX

A lot of young fellows and lot of fair maid
ems in the city are wondering why the board
Of education should be tight in extending
the use of the various recreational features OF
the city school buildings to the people OF Ke-
nosha and they are asking the pertinent ques-
ton, why should such big plant owned by
the city be closed to the people or opened only
at prices which it is very hard to pay?"
The "nigger in the wood pile has been
smoked out and it can be said that the blame
for the failure of the board to open these
buildings for a more unrestricted use of the
people of the city is to be laid properly at the
doors of the common council. The Board is
unable to carry out wide recreational pro-
gram in the city on account of the fact that the
statutory two-tenths mill tax for recreational
purposes has been overlooked by the council.
It is kind to say that it has been overlooked
and there are some people who believe that
members of the council have deliberately re-
fused to comply with the law,
1t is stated by the leaders of the schools that
if this tWo-tenths mill guaranteed under the
law were properly collected there wuold be a
fund for the care of these activities and that
this fund would make it possible to open the
recreational centers probably every night in
the week. It's an old story of an old conflict
but if you are interested in having the schools
of the city used for recreational purposes I'M
der the proper regulations the thing to do is to
lombard your alderman. Tell him that you
expect him to abide by the law and see to it
that when the next tax levy is made that the
two-tenths of a mill for recreational purposes
given the people of Kenosha under the state
law is included in the tax budget. This
amount is not going to break the civ The
total that the city is expected to spend for or
ganization recreational movements is less than
twelve thousand dollars a year. If the city
council will just see to it that this levy-pro-
vided by LAWS made there will be no more
further trouble over the use of the school
plants. If you are one of the fellows who be-
lieve that it is worth while to have indoor base
ball, basketball, happy social gatherings and
play nights at the big school buildings in Ke-
nosha, go right to your alderman and tell him
so. Add to this the fact that you expect him
to see to it that this levy provided by the state
law is paid.

A machinist may earnestly want his son to

but deep down in his heart he knows that he
would be extremely happy if son became the

No doubt Thomas Lincoln, poor farmer,
hoped his son would become rich farmer.
Instead, Abraham Lincoln became president.

son. another Andrew Broaddus In turn, his
son inherited the pulpit
Now there is a fourth Andrew Broaddts,

Many businesses, built up by father and sons
years ago, are still operating under the old
firm name. But control Of the business has
passed into the hands Of outsiders, frequently
the family not being represented at all.
1t may be disappointing to father for his
son to turn to a totally different line of work.
But, after all, it is wise provision of the
scheme of things.
Ii sons always followed father in the same
business or line of work, the world would run
IN rut. Many lines of activity would become
overcrowded, one fathers place being taken
by three sons, later by nine grandsons, still
later by II great-grandsons None would be
available to fill new positions that are opened
yearly by new fields of activity.
The wonder of what your son will become is
one OF the most thrilling mysteries of your life

amendment to the tax revision bill
was opened today by Senator New,
Republican, Indiana who raised the
point that the amendment was uncon-

Senator New said the Reed amend
ment proposed to tax one class of citi-

that this at least was in violation of
the spirit of the constitution.
Arguing that the amendment was not
in conflict with the constitution, Sem
ator Reed told the Republicans that
they would have to vote on the soldier
bonus proposition. He said he un-
derstood that the majority proposed to
shut off discussion of the question by
moving to table the amendment when
offered.

WOMAN MURDERED
In RACINE HOTEL
Mrs. Sarah Stecher Found Murdered
in Room in Racine Boarding
House This Morning,
(By Associated Press Leased Wire)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire)
Racine, visa mysterious murder
case came to the attention of the police
this afternoon, when the body of Mrs.
Sarah Stecher was found in her room
ing house, known as the Globe Hotel.
The woman was found dead on the
floor of a bedroom which she was
not wont to occupy, both her feet and
her right hand being bound together.
The police after making an exhaustive
examination of the premises, said that
it was clear case of murder in their
opinion. There was a large scar on
the woman's left temple, and both of
her eyes were discolored, indicating
there had been a desperate struggle.
DR.. Morgenroth when called said he
could not say how long the woman
had been dead.
Mrs. Stecher, whose mother lives at
Horizon, Wis, is believed to have had
a large amount of money and her
valuables in the police. Nothing was
disturbed as far as the police could
ascertain. The safe had not been
tempered with and robbery was not
the motive of the crime, according to
the police.
DR.. Morganroth would not say just
what caused the woman's death, but
the police stated that there was some
reason to believe that the woman had
been poisoned and that her ankles and
right hand had been bound together so
as to better carry the body.
