 Holy Cross, Too!
 It Takes the man-power cap able of execution as well as the play or the system to make a pass ing attack operate successfully Thus, Holy Cross attributes most of it's conspicuous progress along the eastern gridiron front this fall to the rare pitching talents of Jim Hobin, Crusader quarterback.
 All six touchdowns scored against Catholic university and Harvard were made possib le through the ability of Hobin to toss sensational forwards, all of them long and accurate writes J.. A. Kiernan in the Worcester Ga- zette. That ball he begged to Wal ter Janiak for a touchdown, trav- eled more than half the length of the (Harvard) gridiron.
 Shades of Brick Muller! What a passer that Hobin boy has turn ed out to be and maybe the scouts from teams remaining on the Holy Cross schedule are not worry ing about his prowessl"
 Following the Colgate game, Holy Cross takes on Temple, Manhattan, Brown and Boston College. Pop Warner no doubt will have some tricks especially reserved for the Crusaders but the last three op- ponents on the schedule have been pretty well battered so far and do not appear likely to furnish the severity of competition that Holy Cross is in a position to welcome this year.

It's the Passing Show of 1884" if you believe all the stories com ing into hand about the exploita- tions of the overhead game on the college gridirons this fan. Not in many years have I seen so much concentration upon the pass, lateral as well as forward, in the attack ing maneuvers of so many of the bigger teams. Or the smaller ones, either In fact the pass is helping nightly to cut down. the gap for so long separating the major lea gues of football from their cross roads cousins.
 The word from out west is that Old Man Stagg, who should know better than to take advantage of his younger coaching rivals, has had his College of the Pacific lads passing until the opposition has become dizzy watching the flying pigskin. The Old Man must get a laugh out of this now. although it was no laughing matter for him when one of Jesse Hawley's old Dartmouth teams put on an aerial circus at the University of Chi cagos and Stagg's expense some eight or nine years ago.
 Dartmouth in '25?
 There is nothing new, of course, in the revival of open tactics this year. No doubt it has been stimu- lated by the reduction of penal ties for incompleted passes, also by the change in the size of the ball, making it possible for players with smaller hands to get a firm passing grip on the oval But have yet to see a team that could pass with the Dartmouth team of 1925 which swamped a firs-rate Cornell team 63 to 13, at Hanover with an amazing overhead game Swede Oberlander couldn't miss that after noon, with Lane.
