STAGG TELLS STORY
 OF CHICAGO VICTORY
Forward Pass Succeeded Through Efforts Of
 Player Little Known To Football World

nobly. When we took the offensive, of course, 1t was up to him to attend to the Tiger alone, boxing him out" so that he could not get near the play if he attempted to get inside" it, and pushing him still further out if he played wide to get away from the Ma room. He gave Keck the battle of his career.
 He did so well that right at the start of the game we were able to throw our plays at Neck. And we got through him. The moral effect of this was splendid-for us. We kept right on wearing him down.
 Switched Backs
 In furtherance of this scheme we con stantly changed our backs. We had practically three sets of them, each of equal ability. Co"~>quently we were able to keep fresh men running the ball. For instance, Timme, who started at fullback, was succeeded by John Thomas and the latter by Zorn.
 In the late stages of the game Gar rity, the star Princeton back, who had been unable to play at the start, went in at quarter. He made some good gains, but these were offset shortly when Van Gerbig, the Princeton fullback, made a poor kick from his own 10-yard line. We run the ball back until forced cut of bounds on the Tiger 35-yard line. It was brought 20 yards inside of the field and put in play.
 Ready For Crucial Move
 It was at this rcint tLct Zorn took his turn at fullback. We were in a pO- sition to try and capitalize our preVi- ous maneuvers.
 Zorn was instructed to rush the ball, and, Crisler clearing the way for him, immediately went through Neck flor a five-yard gain. Fresh and strong, he repeated on the next plunge, making first down on Princeton's 25-yard line. Our plan, now, was to use forward pass, but this would depend upon Princeton's tactics. All afternoon, when we had gotten near its goal, it had re- stored Center Wittmer to the first line of defense. It was our hope that this would be what it would do in this situation.
 Big Chance Arrives In each instance in which he had used the forward pass and failed to complete it, we had sent Crisler down the field to receive the ball. The pur- pose of this was to prepare the way for his role as decoy when our specially prepared strategy was ripe for use. The opportunity appeared to have arrived and we proceeded to uncock our big gest attack of the battle.
 Of course, on the first plays, we mere ly executed a cloaking movement. Zorn hit the line again, but was stopped. Hurlburt, subbing for Bryan at right half, gained three yards through Hoop CT, Princeton right tackle. Torn made two yards through Keck.
 Springs Surprise Pass It was fourth down on Princeton s 2O-yard line, with five yard to go Quarterback Romney put our new pass in play.
 It was extremely simple. Romney Zorn and Strohmeier, our left end dashed down the field on the left Crisler and Murlburt kept pace on the right. Cole, our left half, received the ball from center and struck off to the right as though for an end run, but when he had gone 10 yards, stopped By this time, Romney, Torn, Stroh meier, Hurlburt and Crisler had reached their positions and were spread behind the Tigers in fan formation. Cole hesi- tated only mementarily and then threw the ball.
 But One Little Trick Helped However, there was a trick in the pass. Before and while he threw, Cole kept his eyes glued to the right in the direction of Crisler, but when he made the pass it was diagonally across the field to the left. Romney grabbed the ball on the run, three yards in front | of Princeton's posts, and went over for
