Declares Teams Make Mistake
of Waiting Till Last Min
ute in Games.
BY BILLY EVANS

Why does practically every foot
bal team wait until defeat stares it
in the face before opening up?
With a majority Of elevcns the
forward pass is merely n weapon 10
use as last resort. If defeat seems
certain. try to stave it of with the
forward pass.
Notre Dame is one Cf the few
teams that uses the pass more than
merely a weapon. With Coach
Rockne's teams the forward pass is
one of his very best bets on the Of
Tense.
Sitting next TO him III the press
box at the Harvard Princeton game
was Earl Sprackling. one OF the
greatest quarterbacks the country
has ever known. During his DAYS
at Brown. it was the exception for
any one to pick an All-American
team that failed TO include Sprack-
ling
Require Snap Judgment
During the progress of the Har-
va~d-Princeton game certain situa.
tions arose that called upon the
quarterback for snap judgment Of
ten two or three possibilities pre-
scented themselves as n solution. Be
fore the play would be pulled
would invariably say 10 Sprncklins.
We'll. Earl, what play would You
call If you were out there directing
the team ?"
Sprackhng seldom made a mis-
take OF football judgment when he
was a star. After Buell. left the
game, the Harvard quarters who
succeeded him didn't always do
what Sprackling figured was the best
play. I might add that the Harvard
quarters were wrong. not SpraCf-
ling.
Several times the Princeton quar-
ter didn't do just as Earl fgured he
would On one occasion. after Snive-
u had thrown a long forward pass
that was grounded. Sprackliug re-
marked.
THAT Is q dangerous play / am
a hit surprised Princeton is using il.
Seems 10 me the half must be near
y over. 1t would be much wiser 10
get off a few line plays or end runs
in slow fashion and use up as much
time as possible. since they are out
In the lead.
There is always a chance that
one OF those long forward passes

run for a touchdown

Tendency to Use ForWard Pass AS

What is the big trouble with the

Sprackling said. Often I have won

and Syracuse's candidate for all
American center. won his pivot
berth by tamperlng with the scales
OF the weighing machine in the
Syracuse gym.
That's the story that has just
leaked out here. and which has been
confirmed by Head Coach Chick
Meehan. Of the Orange gridiron
forces. It's story of pluck from the
ground up and of nerve.
Culver's weight has been given
out consistently as 165 pounds dur
ing the last season. That's five
pounds more than at was listed at
during 1921.
But the truth OF the matter is that
Culver at no time has tipped the
beam at 145 pounds.
Boosted His Weight
Culver came to Syracuse from To-
ledo, where he was a sensational
prep school center His light weight
kept him off the 1920 Orange team.
in 1921 Culver reported, looking lit
tie changed so far as weight was
concerned. He seemed doomed to
the scrubs.
Culver did a little quick thinking
and then consulted the assistant
manager, who was in charge Of
weighing in. The net result was
that when Culver stepped on the
scales nightly the weight char;
showed 100 TO l62 for Culver. If
it hadn't that assistant manager
would have received a fine little wal
Looping.
The added weight told and Gull

Pitt game, and Meehan did some
close personal weighing. He dis
covered Culver's trick. and the Or
ange center pleaded guilty, but beg

Pitt. He did, and his showing kept
him at center. Then, at the close Of
the season, came his election as
captain for this year.
But not until he turned in his toys
after the Colgate game this fall did
the boys on the squad know that
Syracuse was playing a center who
weighed only las.

several quarrels, all due to my own
misd oings.
Once she was going 10 return 70
me a couple OF gifts that had
made her OF some value but I told
her not TO until she had thought II
over. She decided she cared for me
still.

course. it is wrong for her TO &C
cept them in the first place unless
she is engaged.
If the fault was yours you should
try TO see her. She may care for
you as much as ever, but may be
terribly hurt. You should do all IN
your power to atone for your rude
behavior, and determine that it will
never happen again.
