COACHES IN FAVOR
 !. OF FORWARD PASS
However, Many Wish It in
 Modified Form
By Tho Associated Press.

New York, Dec. le.--ANhough a majority opinion among football coaches. experts and rule-makers apparently is opposed to placing restrictions upon the use of the for ward pass. gathering demand for curbing the aerial game has be- come evident. promising 6 lively discussion when gridiron mentors gather in New York the latter part of this month to frame their rules. The attack launched a few days ago on the forward pass by Har- old M. Gore, coach of the Massa- chusetts Aggies, has aroused keen discussion and drawn support from several sources. Gore branded the aerial game, in lis present usage, as a menace" to the gridron sport and urged S corrective steps that only three points be allowed for a touchdown due to a pass and that the run by the receiver of the pass be eliminated.
 "~ L. C. Boles. director of athletics at Wooster college. Ohio. sides with Gore in characterizing the aerial game as 8 menace" which is relegating football 10 the cate gory of outdoor basketball. while further criticism was made public yesterday by Foster Sanford, for mer Rutgers coach and advocate of the rushing attack.
 None of these critics. however, apparently wishes to abolish the pass. confining their recommends tions to means of putting restric- tions on the aerial game. The pass is needed to give balance, says San ford, admitting the aerial game has come to stay. but nevertheless he believes 1t is too unfcttered in it's present form.
 Supporters of the Gore plan for cutting in half the allowance of points for a touchdown from a pass point out that scoring by this meth cd is no more difficult than by field goal, which now gains but three points.
 That the rules committee is talk ing cognzance of present agita- ton against the pass was indicated yesterday in a statement by Fred w. Gore. treasurer Of the Harvard Athletic association and member of the committee that the question no doubt would come before the mid winter session of the rule makers.

 Most o' them are stil behind Johnson and do not want him to resign the post he has held for more than 20 years. They consid- cred that the baseball world would never zee greater figure than John son.
 Such an impression WAS conveyed by Clark Griffith, president of the Washington clubI Thomas $. Shibe ct Philadelphia; Col. Jacob Ruppert ot the New York Yankees, and Con- nis Mack, manager of the Athletics, before they left here last night.
 The letter rehuking Johnson pre- scented to Commissioner Landis by ths American league owners was "merely to clear the atmosphere, Gr.
