This seems unlikely, British ef-

Eyes ON Far East.
On the other hand, 1t Is necessary
to remember that one Of the basic
British purposes in making 80 con-
siderable an addition to its battle
ship strength has been to be able,
while keeping the European >situa-
ton well In hand. to detach . capt.
tai ship squadron to the Far East,
where the steadying effect Of such a
force upon the Japanese attitude
toward British interests has long
been felt necessary. It Is hardly to
be supposed that such 4 detach-
ment could be considered ct present,
and yet the Japanese have shown
themselves past masters in the art
Of taking advantage Of Western dis
fractions to accomplish Eastern OBJ
jectives. Hong Kong and the Inter-
national Settlement and the British
concession in Tentsin still remain
exposed outposts, possible targets
for Japanese attack should the mill
tary party consider a showdown
with Great Britain preferable at this
time rather than wait for Britain's
hands to be freed In Europe at some
future date. Indeed, such q show
down might seem more attractive
than the present situation in China,
which Is slowly but rather definitely
diminishing the prestige Of the army
leaders at home.
In any case, we shall during 1910
probably see a new naval situation
in Europe, in which the capital ship

Great Britain, 10; France, 8; Ger

MASTERS OF PASS
Looney Is Best Receiver In
Pro Ranks; Parker, M'Fad-

NEW YORK, Dec. 4. Up - Be
tween them, Sammy Baugh of Wash
ington and Davey O'Brien and Dor
Looney Of Philadelphia set nine ne"
individual records in the National
Professional league football race just
closed.
Baugh, whose adept passing won
the eastern division championship 1of
the Redskins, completed a total OF
III out of 1T losses for an efficien'
CIV mark Of 62.7 per cent, lettering
the old figure of 61.7 set by his team
mate Frank Filchock last year.
Slingin' Sam also brought his life
time average to 53.S, beating his own
previous record of 1873, and his total
of 1867 yards gained on passes
eclipsed Davey OBrien's 1924 of last
year.
AS for O'Brien, he scored the sea-
sons greatest individual feat by com
pleting 33 passes for 316 yards in his
final game against Washington. This
outburst accounted for new records
of competitions and yardage for one
game and ran his seasons compile
lions to 124, also a new mark.
Looney, playing his first season
with the Eagles, caught IA OF
O'Brien's passes for a gain of $50
yards in the closing game. These
we're single-game records for catches
and yardage and boosted the rockies
season total to So receptions, another
new standard.

Use OF LATERAL
PASS DYING OUT
Deception In Grid Plays On
Increase, Along With
Forward Pass

NEW YORK, Dec. A. Up - The
lateral pass, an offensive weapon
that often back-fired, is Passing out
in college football.
A survey by the Associated Press
of the principal trends in 1910 foot.
ball today showed the coaches were
depending less and less on the back
ward aerial, except for it's use in the
backfield, and more and more on fog
ward passes and intricate offensse.
The border conference and the
Rocky Mountain Big Seven were the
only circuits that stressed the lateral.
In the Big Seven, Colorado State
often ran off triple laterals On the
end of bucks and sweeps to befuddle
its opponents.
In the south, east, midwest and
on the Pacific coast, the coaches
found the forward pass playing an
increased part in o%ffenses. Nebras'
ka stressed the forward to gain the
Big Six title and a bid to the Rose
Bowl. Cornell was one of its chief
opponents in the east while Dave
Allerdice of Princeton completed q
brilliant two-year record in which %
of the Tigers IS touchdowns came
directly through aerials.
Harry S%tuhldreher of Wisconsin
summed it up pretty well when he
said he noted not only more passing
but a better brand.
Babe Hollingberry of Washington
State and Doc Newton of North
Carolina State were among those who
saw emphasis on increased decep
ton. Hollingberry pointed to the
number Of teams using plays thai
featured men in motion, spreads and
flankers. Newton, who himself used
a center-around play against Duke,
picked out the use of the lateral
pass, principally on buck-laterals de,
velopins into end, tackle and guard
around plays.
The quick kick as an offensive
weapon also was stressed, especially
in the Big Six, the southeast, the
border conference, the Pacific north
west, the Big Seven, in the midwest
by Ohio State and in the east by
Yale and Pennsylvania.
The coaches also found, however
that the intricate ball-handling ma
neuvers brought with them an in
crease in fumbles in virtually ever,
section of the country.
