upon his Illuminating paper on the

attention to the fact that he missed
the Dillon-to-Wister pass in the Yale
Princeton 1906 game. Parke writes:
by design l limited my discussion
of forward passes to those passes
which terminated in scores, or were
followed by runs creating scores.
There are, of course. a great many
famous passes which served impor-
tant parts as approach passes. Wis

include it because it did not lead to
scoring"
All Of which leaves the way open
to Parke for an equally interesting
