AS to the forward pass. the Middle
western foot ball men early seized
upon 1t and carried it 10 a high state
of perfection. They believe whole
heartedly in the overhead heave out
there, and they know that the great
public interest in the sport in that
section, at least, coincided with the
insertion into the game Of this spec
tacular and highly thrilling play.
Stagg Is an Exception.
AS It happens the Big Ten member
Of the foot bali rules committee is
Alonzo Stage of the University of
Chicago. where absolute stress is laid
upon the running game. Not in
years, If ever, have tho Maroons been
noted as g passing team.
No one who knows Stagg has any
idea that he either devised or ardently
promulgated the new 5-yard penalty.
but It would he illogical 10 suppose
that he fought it with any Vigor, If
at all. Why should he?

1t is IN its voting strength is another

Birth Of Committee.
III the early days OF foot bail, from
1917 to 1889. the playing code was in
he hands Of annual conventions COM
posed OF delegates from the various
foot ball playing colleges. This
worked very well, thanks TO the dom =

TRACK SECRETS

All runners, other than sprinters,
should develop as long II stride as
possible. The slight incline forward of
the body at the hips helps lengthen
the stride. as has been shown.
The main point TO avoid is to Pre-
vent linking the leg at the knee as
you step out in front. Note the two
runners pictured above. The one in
the lead has an easy natural stride
with no kink at the knee as his leg
Swings forward. The one in the rear.
using the same energy. kinks his
knee as he takes his forward stride.
AS u result ne does not stride as
far as the other. This means that
he has to take more steps TO cover IL
given amount of ground than does
his opponent. That viii exhaust him
moro quickly, all else being equal.
Such "a runner cannot stand a hard
race. He's bound TO become exhaust

A whole lot of time is not required
to get the average schoolhoy into
condition to compete. They are more

No one will be allowed to compete

good reasons. In the first place no

too much, and then there are other
boys striving for prizes who also de-

can't produce and market their crop
intelligently and that they have to
have a guardian? If this be true. why
pay our county agent unless he CO.

operate in pooling what they produce
