BY FRANK G. MENKE

It's becoming more and more OBJ.
vious that the forward pass is a sad
failure in the matter of football Of
tense.
The smart coaches and nimbler-brain-
ed quarter-backs are now alive to its
fliver characteristics and are using
the aerial play with decreasing rar-
ity.
There's no more dangerous play
for a team to attempt than the for
ward pass; none which. all things
considered, can be reckoned as more
foolhardy. For about eight out of
every 10 passes are failures-and
one of the other two usually puts
the ball in the possession of the
enemy.
Nine times out Of ten, whatever
gain is accomplished by a successful
pass is more than offset by the loss
es through failure or interception.
No better Illustration of the fulfil
fly Of the forward pass as an effec-
tive ground gamer can be trotted
forth than showed in the records
of the Princeton-Maryland game
some Saturdays ago. The Tigers had
been drilled almost constantly in for
ward passing-were supposed to be
as nearly letter perfect in the play
as any team could be.
In tackfing Maryland they met a
mediocre outfit; one against which
any Tiger play, or series Of plays,
should have been uniformly success
full, because Of Maryland's feeble re-
sistance and poor defense.
Only One Successful
Princeton, a master team IN for
ward passing. tried Is OF them in that
combat-and only one was a success.
Ten OF the other throws were incom-
plete fizzles, while the other two
were intercepted by Maryland play
ers.
The total gain which the Tigers
achieved with their Is attempts at
forward passing was exactly twenty
yards. As an offset the Tigers lost
10 downs and surrendered the ball to
the enemy ON two other occasions.
If the Tigers had forgotten the ex
istence of the forward pass entirely
and devoted their little selves on
those Is occasions merely to line
crumbling on end skirtings, it's rea,
sonable to assume that they would have
gained an average of three yards
on every play-perhaps five or six
That would have meant a total gair
; of from 80 to 7S yards, as against
90 through the use Of the forward
pass.
And Princeton wouldn't have lost the
ball twice, as it did by trying the
forward pass.
Facts Spoil Ideas
The idea that successful aeria
toss usually results in a spectacular
gain issniftily shattered by facts.
dip into the history of the forward
pass will show that the gain usual,
accomplished is only the distance o
the throw; that the receiver general!
is dumped to the landscape before b,
can make a single lunge forward.
The reason is plain. There's no
thing really masked or tricky in tn,
forward pass. Everyone can see tn,
l ball as it sails through the ozone
| An enemy player, in the vicinity o
where the ball is headed, usually cal
