 Several touchdowns were scored in the western conference during the season of 1922 by using the latter part of this play.
 Let me add this caution: Special emphasis should be placed on the protection of the play. The men pro- tecting the thrower should immedi- ately be alert to the possibilities Of interception of the throw. and the thrower should immediately free him. self from the opponent about him. One or two fleet linemen should be coached 10 run back and deep from the scrimmage line after they have blocked an opponents lineman sui ficicnt length of time, rather than follow the ball down the field. If these men follow instructions, an op- ponent intercepting the pass will find it difficult to get very far.

By Robert c. zuppke, football coach, University of Illinois; autho of Football Technique and Tactics" !"
 If a coach is fortunate enough to have two men who can throw, he may devise a scheme of attack for the purpose of employing both in such a way as to deceive the defense and to destroy their intended concentra- tion on the one individual.
 For example, one thrower can line up somewhere six yards back of the center. while the other lines up from 10 to 12 yards directly back of the center.
 Since the center can pass to one or the other for the purpose of throw ing a pass. the defense, although knowing q forward pass is contem- plated. cannot concentrate on one man. and this produces hesitation. which assures the tf1rowcr more time in executing the pass.
 No. back may throw q pass from point \ or may bluff aud make q backward or lateral pass 10 No 2 tacl; who may throw or run ss opportunity permits. The diagram

MY OWN HAS A COLD
Possible Obstacle to Zey Race on No- yember 3 Bobs Up When Grayson Horse Develops Cough.

New York, Oct. 9S.--A coughing spell developed by My Own. Rear Ad- mirat Graysons challenger of Zev which the son of King James devel- oped while being rushed to Belmont park as a possible substitute for Zev in the international race, arose last night as an obstacle to the proposed mile and three-quarters go between Zev and My Own on November at the Latonia track.
 That Zev and My Own would finally meet and decide between themselves which was the better horse was prac- tically a certainty until My Owns cold frightened Trainer Burch. Ad- miral Grayson, more optimistic, said the cough was bad though not serious and he hoped to have My Own in condition again soon
