BILLY EVANS SAYS

Is the forward pass to continue
merely as n threat in eastern foot
ball or be widely used? From the con-
versatiOn / have had with four promi-
nent eastern coaches during the week
l am inclined to think that the Ior-
ward pass is going to get Il big play
in eastern football this year.
"The west is unquestionably making
better use of the forward pass than
the east" remarked one coach. In
the west, with many of the big teams,
the forward pass Is fayOflte play.
With most eastern elcyenS the pass
has been little more than Il threat.
In the west Il great many of the
teams start throwing the forward
pass right off the reel. In the east
II is customary TO play straight foot
ball and not open up until late in the
game, and then only if defeat is immi-
nent."
"Western coaches have done more
with the forward pass simply because
they have been willing to gamble"
was the comment of another eastern
mentor. The forward pass is a dan
gerous play, and in the east great
many coaches have thought more of
preserving their reputation rather
than risking it with an open game
from the very start. In great many
cases, coaches have spent hours drill
ing their teams in open play, yet have
been content TO play straight football
when the playing of such style made
victory possible"
"Why does your team seem to have
so much more success with the for
ward pass than most elevens!" was
the question / put to Coach Knutc
Rockne, famous mentor of the NOtrc
Dame team, one day lost fall. Foot
ball fans who have seen Notre Dame
in action are well aware of the great
success Notre Dame always has with
the open style of play.
"First, because my teams believe in
the play" replied Rockne. Il try to
teach my team that a forward pass
has just as good chance to succeed
as any other gridiron play is every
player does his proper part in the
execution of the play. When for
ward pass fails it is because some
player slips up in his task. Notre
Dame players are taught not to throw
the ball simply because forward
pass has been called. They are in
structed to make the play only when
there is a chance that player will be
free TO receive the pass. With Notre
Dame the forward pass does not mean
mere haphazad tossing of the ball. 1t
does mean that if properly executed
the chances of succeeding are always
greatly in the majority"
