Tech s Famous Coach Says Forward Pass Is No Longer an Experiment NEW FOOTBALL COMING INTO ITS OWN===HEISMAN By J. W. Heisman. * T last the forward pass seems /A to be coming into its own. * For the first time in the joven years it has been experi pi-nted with we are beginning to fnd quite a lot of teams who can n a ke successful use of the thing. When the play first became per ssible by rule, I predicted that it vildn't be much of a play to hank on for several years. I knew that the old players who never handled it and who bad ...r, schooled in the old style of could no more readily learn it n utter football novices, for it . j too radical —too far away from whole trend and nature of ' bail as it had been played for • . oid men to derive any special i fit from their past experience ter departments of the game. Hut if the play were taken up • i ’ prep schools, as. of course, it , ml be, by the time a. varsity ■ <-3T was composed entirely of p’ave' “ who had been familiar with from the first day ever popped out on a prep gridiron, vcould expect to see some nice ■. a,l pass work cropping out. V. . pause to note' one point that , q strike the unthinking as pe- , , : and that is that the small, n t <>r unknown teams are using p jy more frequently than are ;.:g teams, and with rather -ucvess. The explanation is « . What chance has a light rr green team to buck through a « ior line for touchdowns? What ,in,e to beat them by even an . : limning or a kicking game? i-ulutely none—any more than it nr had. Rm the forward pass game is one that they can play to equal advan tage witlt the big fellows. And t'r.at they are meeting with rather more success with the play than *he big teams is due to the fact that they recognize it as their one and only chance in the game, and sn they practice the play a deal nun than do the big, heavy teams. And they also pull off the pa;, oftener in games than do the big fellows, for what else have trey learned to play? Take Citadel—a team weighing about 155 pounds. They do not pre tend to bucking ability, nor even t > end running strength, notwith standing their back field is as fast ns any I have seen in some, time. But they have put in a lot of prac tice on forward passing and are comparatively sure on the play. Very well, why hammer and smash their light men up against heavy weights ' No; it is far easier on them to throw the ball and let their fast men run for ft. To be sure, the forward pass is more apt to fail than not, no matter how proficient a’team thinks it is in its execution. Rm even if it succeeds only once in four trials the team using it has itndou made first down. Perhaps it has t vl long run n ut of it. and not nit.. the re quired ten yards. Therefore, if such an average could be main ’aineri. a team could view with per leet equanimity the three failures i m<t with out of the four at- Xth American- European Special.st. TRUE SPECIALISTS.

HOLuiOOK, Ph. G„ M D„ SPECUIIST tempts. 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 flie 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. Ry 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.’’ 'jp HE part that being keyed up lot 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 siiore 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 tile Quakers some ten pounds to the man. they had had plenty of time to review their well developed game of last yea" 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 height this early in the season, for the reason that Carlisle, Michi gan and Cornell have yet to be played much later in the season. For Swarthmore this game with Penn was 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 tvinning from Swarthmore they might win the game all right, but would they' be capable of a fresh keying up in all MALADIES OF MANKIND MASTERED Vhose European Methods Are Cur ing the Sick.

I By Harry Glaser. rpHK 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 and 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 try ing 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 tiie fact that many of the games were loosely played. The Giants’ veteran htirler is truly as great in defeat as he could possibly he in victory, for never 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 stat't. Thought He Would Fail. It was freely predicted that lie would fail; that he had seen his best days.

There is no doubt that he Is no longer the pitch er of former days, still he proved himself a marvel and amazed even hfs 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. Tn that time, too, he has figured more prominently before the public than any pitcher tn 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. Tlte granddad of the pitchers who engaged in the series. Matty 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 a* , iiriling to instructions.

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 would have been a victory, had the Glanjs been able to ratty 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 ft not been that again one of his team mates faltered at a critical moment and allowed the winning tally to trickle over the plate. i 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 who has kept in 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 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 defeat can not detract from the great work of Christy Mathewson, and hfs 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."
