FORWARD PASS IS
 MUCH FEARED PLAY
Data However, Shows That It
 Is Not So Dangerous
(By Billy Evans)

| Are iootDall c0acHeS making the most of the forward pass?
 Despite the fact that the pass is being used more this year than ever before. it is still regarded by many coaches as a threat.
 It is not unusual for teams to re- sort almost entirely to straight foot ball for three periods finally cutting loose with open plan in the final quarter.
 As a rule defeat stares the aver ago team in the face before 1t begins to make use of the forward pass.
 Few coaches use the pass more than Rockne, yet the famous leader of Notro Dame varies his style to keep the opposition guessing,
 have seen Notro Dame play sev- cral games in which only q very few passes were used and then merely as a threat.
 Rockne's teams have change of pace. For that reason his elevens are always coorful.
 Most coaches have fear of the pass. They regard it as too dan gerous a play to be used promis- cuously. Also, they prefer to win if possible without uncovering their trick stuff Much of football strategy has the pass as it's basis.
 Is the forward pass as dangerous a play as a great many coaches are wont 10 believe?
 A perusal of the records fails to bear out such an opinion. With the season about half over the datum shows that only 13 touch downs have been scored as a result of intercepted passes.
 The chief fear of the coaches in using a forward pass is that some member of the opposing team will spoil their stategy by picking the ball out of the air and starting down the field.
 However, most coaches have de- veloped a defense for the pass that greatly minimizes the chance for the opposition 10 run it back.
 As a matter of fact, with the sea son half over. only one game has been won as the result of an inter- copted pass that resulted in run for a touchdown.
 Dope figures make the forward pass d reasonably safe play to try. Of course, there is always the chance that the pass may go astray. The possibilities of the play, however ,are worth the gamble.
 Undoubtedly the most interesting run of the year so far was the re- suit of an intercepted pass.
 It happened in the game bctvrcn' Amherst and Hamilton. with Cadigar ; of Amherst as the ball carrier
 Cadigan intercepted the ball aS it . was crossing the Amherst goal line, with q Hamilton player waiting back i of the line 10 grab 1t for a much coveted touchdown.
 Tucking the ball under his arm, Cadigan raced the length of the grdiron through broken field for d touchdown.
 It was a real thrill. Hamilton, badly beaten. seemed about to real ize some glory by scoring a touch- down. only to have the opposition get the ball and make the score.

Give your sprayer the proper care

efficiently at the time its service is
needed. Rapid depreciation and end
less trouble will be experienced if the

after the spraying is done, will soon
ruin the outfit so it will not do its

An old inhabitant of the village was as
tonlshed one morning, on rising, to find
that rope had been stretched from the
church steeple to the top of the tent in
which the travelling circus were due to give
performance that afternoon.
On asking the meaning of the rope being
in that position, the circus manager replied:
"Oh, that's for our great Ethiopian trick
elephant to walk over at o'clock, just be-
fore the performance. He starts from the
church steeple and walks the rope to the
tent, and then slides down the center pole
to the arena
II should think he'll fall,", remarked the
villagerl
But his weight would pull over the
steeple and the church people would
object"
They never do. And in'any case, we
never ask them about it,"
But can't they call ths police in to stou
you?"
They always do"
Don't you respect the law"
Always. The elephant never walks the
rope; but that isn't my fault"

ENDING BAD HABITS
BY DR.. Frank Crane

WYE love nothing with such passionate
w pain as bad habit.
1t is a pleasure of course or we
would not keep it up; but it is torment.
To What good thing do we cling with that
crazy desire we feel toward the wrong
thing.
The bad habit is the eczema of the soul
You feel irresistible desire to indulge in
it, and when you indulge in it you get moth
ing but pain just as the eczema on your
wrist intolerably demands scratching which
only makes it worse.
IN dealing with bad habit the essential
thing is to remember the only psychological
law by which such things are durable, to-
wit:
That the desires can be changed by the
will operating through the habit.
By it one can change his inward cravings
and bring himself to any desired condition
of character. without this law life would
be hopeless; the individual would never pro-
gress; there would be no possible improve
ment. only increasing degradation
In a bad habit the thing we want to eradi-
cate is the desire that pushes us toward it.
If it is drink, want to get rid of the
thirst; if it is the eating of sweetmeats, we
want to get rid of the hunger.
The only way to proceed is flrst to set the
comes on simply not yield.
This may mean struggle Yretchedness,
feverish misery and perhaps disqualification
for our work.
But absolutely must persist. 1t is our
only hope. And we comfort ourselves
with the knowledge that our nature iney-
itably yields to our will in the end.
1t is not going to be an endless, lifelong
combat; by and by nature gives in and
new set of desires arises in us which are in
accord with the will.
This is utterly true gospel You may risk
your soul on it. Continue to not do
thing and in time the desire to do it van
ishes.
The only hope for self-improvementEi
fact, the only hope for life Of decency, to
say nothing Of force and Of refnement-lies
in keeping the will in the drivers seat, the
reins of the desires we'll in hand.
For there is another law in human nature
which is the converse of the law above
stated. 1t is That if one allows himself to
be controlled by desire-that is, does only
what he feels fke doing--the desires stead
lily grow coarser, the animal swallows up
the spirit, and, in plain English, one rap
idly goes to the dogs.
This law also is as true and hard as gum
metal.
Are you will-ruled or desre-ruled? An
sWer that question of questions to yourself
and YOU win know not only whether you
are good or a bad person (for that's about
all the difference) but whether also you are
a strong or a weak person, force or a
lump, growing or a rotting organism
But what if the will is gone, destroyed?
Answer That is a mere figure of speech
No mans will was ever destroyed. He al
ways has piece left Even pig can refuse
to eat. The one thing we always do is
to not do it.
