Tech s Famous Coach Says Forward Pass Is No Longer an Experiment NEW FOOTBALL COMING INTO ITS OWN====HEISMAN By J. AW Heisman. < T lasi the forward pass seems iA to be coming into its own. Pw the first time in the seven years It has been experi mented with wo are beginning to rind 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 had never handled it and who bad been schooled in the old style, of P ay could no more readily learn it an utter football novices, for it w:! s too radical —too far away from :■>, whole trend and nature of ...tball as it had been played for the old men to derive any special mnefit from their past experience n other departments of the game. But if the play were taken up i he prep schools, as, of course, it ionol be. by the time a varsity ■am was composed entirely of pavers who had been familiar with ■ from the first day they ever stepped out on a prep gridiron, we could expect to see some nice forward pass work cropping out. We pause to note one point that may strike the unthinking as pe ar. and that is that the small, i; • i.r unknown teams are using . p:oy more frequently than are the big teams, and with ratijer tore success. The explanation is - i e Want chance has h light ...r green team to buck through a superior line for touchdowns'.' What c anio to beat them by even an ei : running or a kicking game? A .solutely none -any more than it ever had. Rut the forward pass game is one that they can play to equal advan ■og with the big fellows. And t' they ar, meeting with rather more success with the play than •he big teams is due to the fact ti.a tie i recognize it as their one s" 1 only ( hance in the game, and so the; pr.ti tti-< the play a deal mom than do the big, heavy t'ains.

Had they elected to run or buck the ball the three times, they would probably not have gained the t«n 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. I 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. Swarthmo e, 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 dire ted aim at the Key stoners. even thus early in the sea son. The result was a <5 to 3 de feat for Penn. But in addition to these handi caps. Penn was laboring under the disadvantage that her coaches did no: dare bring the team to a physi cal height this early in the season, f ■.■ the reason that Carlisle, Michi gan and Cornell have yet to be played much later in the season. Co: Swarthmore this game with Penn wts the hardest and most im portant game on her 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 yon are most anxious to w in 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.

Records of all sorts were broken and outside of the fact that the Red Sox won. few of the predictions made by experts and players came t rue. Players of whom much was ex pected accomplished little, while some of the lesser lights who we were told would jeopardise 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 never did a pitcher struggle more fcrtmeiy 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 lie dirt there Isn't a follower of the pastime in the land who would no) 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 went 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 lied.

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 has figured more prominently before the public than any pitcher in history. He has 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, Matt) shouldered the brunt of the work and outpitched 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 faithfully according to ihstruetioiis. H again returned to the drug store and said "I came back to get three more hotties ot the wonderful Quaker Herb Extract Sime I used it I have found that my appetite is good and I am much stronger. I can get about better titan I ever could, my troubles have disappeared, and I am so vet y much pleased that I am telling all my neigh bors and friends.

He la bored harder and better than the Boston star under greater handi caps. for which he is charged with two defeats, while Smoky Joe gets credit for three victories. Lost By Ragged Defense. Every one of the three games Matty twirled should have and wduld 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 was opposed by a brilliant young twlrler 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 plate. And then came hfs third effort-** that all-important tussle in which Matty carried the hopes and fears of the Giant followers. That, as evert one knows who has kept in touch with the game, should have been his at all odds. Rut once more the players be hind him were unequal to the task that the veteran twlrler was carry ing on so successfully and that is the reason Boston boasts of a championship team today. It matters not that the Giants lost. Their tiefeat can not detract from the great work of Christy Mathewson, and his name will be linked with the 1912 world's series as the hero of heroes as long as It continues to be a memory. bles. but I know now that 1 am on the right road to health.” If you a,e a sufferer front catarrh in any form, stomach trouble of any de ’ scription. kidney, liver, rheumatism or I blood troubles you are the one to call i at Coursey X- Munn's drug store and ' obtain Quaker Heib Extract. 6 for $5. 3 • for .•ill; $| a bottle.
