FORWARD PASS HELD
GRID GAME MENACE

WOOSTER, Ohio. December Ill.
C.. Boles. director CT athletics al
wooster College. has started q quiet
but vigorous campaign to bring
before those interested in foot ball
both the general public and college
leaders. what he considers the
monaco Of the forward pass.
Boies 10 an advocate of the
rushing and kicking game. and
asserts that the unrestricted use y!
the forward pass has put the grid
iron game in the category of an
outdoor basket ball" contest.
He thinks, Furthermore, that the
open game leaves too much to the
Judgment of officials, besides max
ing them work much harder.
'I believe the public is getting
tired of lucky plays which enable
In many instances, a weaker team
to defeat a stronger team" he said
como this year, I believe the time
is coming when the rushing and
kicking game of foot ball will be
made q more prominent feature OF
the attack"
Boles Is not in favor OF doing
away with the forward pass, but
believes that its use should be
limited by rule. He suggests the
following changes:
Limiting the number of forward
passes to each quarter.
On incompleted passes take the
ball back to the point from which
the ball was passed.
Make the necessary distance to be
gained on four attempts yards
instead of 10.
