in 49-to-0 Game

Business High Schools football
team took terrible beating at the
hands Of the Gonzaga High School
eleven, 48 to o. The Stenographers
were outclassed all the way, except
that during the fourth period
Gonzaga was not able to score.
Seldom If ever has a Gonzaga
football team shown the offensive
flashes that Coach Kenneth Simon
dinger's men showed against Busj.
ness. The backs were fast AMI
alert. They smashed quickly into
the holes made by their linemen
and they skirted the Business ends
for lengthy gains.
Business was content to attempt
to hold on after the first quarter.
In that period the Gonzaga boys
carried the oval over the Inc three
times. The backs worked so fast
the officials had q hard time keep
ing up with the scrimmage line.
After a commanding lead had
been rung up, Gonzaga was salts
fled to revert to straight football.
They showed nothing that would do
the Central scouts any good at all.
All of which means that when
Central and Gonzaga meet there is
going to- be some fun for Gonzaga.

Johnny Dundee Points

An English critic believes
that the life Of a champion in

twenty and thirty years ago in
England was so good because
the teams were made up of
grown men who had come to
physical maturity. Between

coming from each Of the rival

Catholic University is a good de-

ans, Foley and Manfreda in the
backfield, the BrookIand warriors
have q little offensive OF their

The development Of the forward
pass has been slow. Our Mr..
O'Neill, who Is a walking encyclo-
pedia on football lore, tells us that
1t was born in 1906, but it did not
fully mature for several years.
Modern coaching methods have
made it what it is today.
Glen Warmers Carlisle Indians
were the leading opponents Of the
forward pass in the East years ago.
In those days, however, football
coaches rather frowned on the idea
Of throwing and catching football.
Later mass play became re-
stricted to such an extent that the
possibilities of the overhead game
began to be realized.
1t has not been so many years
ago that throwers Of passes were
taught to tuck the ball in the crook
of the elbow and hurl 1t in the
general direction Of where they
thought the receiver ought to be.

tricks that can be caught by the
spectator as the play is being
made. It scatterS the players
and opens up the strategy for all
to see.
It has not been so long ago that
forward passes were thrown with |
the expectation that few would |
succeed. If one in five was caught |
the average was considered high.
Nowadays it is the most slightly |
play because of its ground gaining |

We have seen many games in |
which passing was resorted to only /
in desperation or when the time !
was short and the goal far away.
Under modern conditions the pass
has come into its own as a major
offensive play. 1t is often thrown
on first, second or third downs.

A leaf of domestic tobacco is coarse,
