Heisman. * T last the forward pass seems A to be coming into its own. -*• *■ Eor the first time in the opven years it has been experl n’.r.ted with we are beginning to f-i quite a lot of teams who can make successful use of the thing. When the play first became per missible by rule, I predicted that it wouldn't be much of a play to bank on for several years. 1 knew that the old players who h . never handled it and who had b f .n schooled in the old style of p .v could no more readily learn it • han utter football novices, for it „ d? too radical —too far away from ~d whole trend and nature of f. tbali as it had been played for • « old men to derive any special t,,r lit from their past experience in ut'ner departments of the game. But if the play were taken up r >« prep schools, as, of course, it I be. by the tirfie a varsity was composed entirely of platers who had been familiar with from the first day they ever stepped out on a prep gridiron, w. could exnect to see some nice 'orward pass work cropping out. We pause to note one point that strike the unthinking as pe ;'iar. and that is that the small, t - ■ or unknown teams are using t e play more frequently than are t,. big teams, and with rather ■rr.rn success. The explanation is s;-r,!Vo What chance has a light or green team to buck through a sure; lor line for touchdowns'' Wh»t < ance to beat them by even an end running or a kicking game? Absolutely none—any more than it ex er had. Rut the forward pass game is one that they can play to equal advan tage with the big fellows. And • ~r they are meeting with rather more success with the play than rhe big teams is due to the fact tna' they recognize it as their one and only chance in the game, and an they practice the play a deal mr>-< than do the big. heavy teams. And they also pull off the l'a "I ten er in games than do th° big fellows, for what else have the.', earned to play? T, • t'itadei —a team weighing : - - .: 155 pounds.

Had they elected to run or buck the ball the three times, they would probably not have gained the ten yards, anyway. The heavy team will naturally prefer to use its weight and physi cal strength in a running and buck ing game, and if Its opponents are very light, the heavyweights are liable to retain prolonged posses sion of the ball and not let the light team have a chance to show what it can do with its forward pass game. If, In addition to this, the heavy team will put In some practice on forward passes, so that they also can do something along this line, they, of course, make It Impossible for the light team to cope with them. But the forward pass is doing so very much better this year with all teams that it has made a pro nouncedly good Impression with both players and public, for the first time in its career. It has come to stay. By the way, Howard tried 32 for ward passes against Mercer in their recent game. 1 believe this is a record number. Eight were successful, or 250 per cent, which is a fairly good percentage. • ♦ • About Being “On Edge.’’ 'p HE part that being keyed up for a particular game plays in that game is beginning to be much better understood than formerly. No team can feel en tirely fit, mentally as well as phys ically, for every match it goes In This was amply illustrated by the game between Pennsylvania and Swarthmore a shore time ago. Penn is a much bigger college than Swarthmore, with a corresponding ly greater "rep” and prestige. But she had a lot of new men on the team who had to be gradually broken Into the essentials of the Penn system of football, and so by the time the Swarthmore game came along they had learned, as a team, only about eight or ten plays. Swarthmore, on the other hand, had an entirely veteran team and, besides outweighing the Quakers some ten pounds to the man, they had had plenty of time to review their well developed game of last year and to fire the whole thing with well directed aim at the Key stoners. even thus early in the sea son The result was a 6 to 3 de feat for Penn. But In addition to these handi caps. Penn was laboring under the disadvantage that her coaches did not dare bring the team to a physi cal h ight this early in the season, f'-r he reason that Carlisle, Michi gan and Cornell have yet to be o.i-d much later in the season. For Swarthmore this game with Petin was the hardest and most im portant game on het entire sched ule. She could afford to come to a height and expend her last mite of strength and mental alertness in trying to win the game. Were the coaches at Penn to em phasize too strongly the impor tance of the team winning from Swarthmore they might win the game all right, but would they be capable of a fresh keying up in all THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.MONDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1912 the other big games of the year? You just have to take your choice, as a coach, of what teams you are most anxious to win from and work to that end. letting hap pen what will in the other games. A month from now Swarthmore could not beat Penn in a dozen trials. Cornell is probably taking the same sane, slow, but sure, course of work-outs, and the result will probably be that she will give her November competitors a hard run of it. Right now Princeton looks best of the Eastern teams, but she may find in November that she went at too fast a pace in October, and that the football Marathon does not al ways go to the team that runs the first half the quickest.

I By Harry Glaser. rpHE world's series that has just • passed into history was re markable for many things. Records of all sorts were broken and outside of the fact that the Red Sox won. few of the predictions made by experts ami players .came true. Players of whom much was ex pected accomplished little, while some of the lesser lights who we were told would jeopardize their team's chances took a leading role in fighting for the laurels. All of which again proves the fallacy of trying to "dope" out a series. The struggle was unique in that the leading hero Is a member of the losing team. Mathewson, with out a doubt, stands out as the most prominent figure of the great championship tussle, the most ex citing and interesting ever contest ed. despite the fact that many of the games were loosely played. The Giants’ veteran hurler is truly as great In defeat as he could possibly be in victory, for ueter did a pitcher struggle more gamely and valiantly, only to have his best efforts go for naught through the fault of others. If It could have been known beforehand that Matty was capable of pitch ing three such excellent games as he did there isn’t a follower of the pastime in the land who would not have conceded the championship to the Giants at the start. Thought He Would Fail. It was freely predicted that he would fail; that he had seen his best days. The Matty who gained everlasting fame by his feats In that other world's championship in which the Athletics thrice w'ent never seemed to do any good in his case Altogether he was in a pitiable condition. Many a day he was plying his vocation when he really should have been In bed. But weak and sick as he was, ho had too much will power to give up Mr. Smedley went to Coursey & Munn drug store to explain his ease, and 't'tei doing so was advised a treatment if tin Quaker Herb Exiraet which was bought bv him. and used •••••••••••••••••••••••••a • MATTY’S RECORD • : SINCE JOINING : : GIANTS IN 1900: o • • Games Pitched. • • Year.

There is no doubt that he is no longer the pitch er of former days, still he proved himself a marvel and amazed even his admirers by his splendid work. Matty has been in the game close to thirteen years, which is beyond the limit of usefulness of most baseball stars. In that time, too, he ha,s figured more prominently before the public than any pitcher in history. He lias seen scores of others come and go, yet there is not one who has stood the test of time as has the Giant star. The granddad of the pitchers who engaged in the series, Matty shouldered the brunt of the work and outpltched them all. Wood was looked upon as head and shoulders above any' pitcher in the major leagues. But a comparison of his work in the series with that of Mathewson’s shows the honors faithfullv a< cording to instructions He again returned to the drug store and said: I came back to get three more bottles of the wonderful Quaker Herb Extract Since I used ft 1 have found that my appetite is good and I am much stronger. 1 can get about better than I ever could, my troubles have disappeared, and 1 am so very much pleased that 1 am telling all iny neigh ■■•o’s and friends I had begun to think that there wa: mi cure for inj trou- to be in favor of Big Six. He la bored harder and better than the Boston star under greater fiasen caps, for which he is charged wltt tw o defeate. while Smoky Joe gets credit for three victories*. Lost By Ragged Defense. Every' one of the three games Matty twirled should have and would have been a victory had the Giants been able to rally to his support. Ragged defense lost the first battle several times over when it allowed the Red Sox to tie the score after the Giants had over come their early lead, and it went as no contest. When Matty took up the fight a second time he w*as opposed by a brilliant young twirler in Hugh Bedient, who outdid himself in that one game. Never had he displayed better form, yet the Giants’ star might have won had It not been that again one of his team mates faltered at a critical moment and allowed the winning tally to trickle over the'YilaJe. And then came his third effort— that all-important tussle in which Matty carried the hopes and fears of the Giant followers. That, as every one knows w’ho has kept tn touch with the game, should have been his at all odds. But once more the players be hind him were unequal to the task that the veteran twirler was carry ing on so successfully and that ie the reason Boston boasts of a championship team today. It matters not that the Giants lost. Their defeat can not detract from the great work of Christy Mathewson, and his name will be linked with the 1912 world's sertee as the hero of heroes as long as it continues to he a metnory. bles. but 1 know now that 1 am on the right toad to health " If you are a sufferer from catarrh In any form, stomach trouble of any de scription. kidney, liver, rheumatism or blood troubles, you are the one to call at Coursey A Munn's drug store and obtain Quake- Herb Extract. 6 for S 5, 3 for 53.5 H; a bottle.
