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 AX to be coming into its own 1 For the first time in the seven years it has been experi mented with we are beginning to find 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. I knew that the old players who had never handled it and who had been schooled in the old style of play could no more readily learn it than utter football novices, for it was too radical—too far away from the whole trend and nature of football as it had been played for the old men to derive any special benefit from their past experience n other departments of the game. But if the play were taken up in the prep schools, as, of course, it would be, by the time a varsity team was composed entirely of players who had been familiar with it from the first day they ever siepped 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 culiar. and that is that the small, light or unknown teams are using i e play more frequently than are the big teams, and with rather more success. The explanation is simple. What chance has a light or green team to buck through a superior line for touchdowns? What . hance to beat them by even an end running or a kicking game? Absolutely none—any more than it ever had. But the forward pass game Is one that they can play to equal advan tage with 'the big fellows. And that they are meeting with rather more success with the play than the big teams is due to the fact that they recognize it as their one end only chance in the game, and so they practice the play a deal more than do the big, heavy teams. And they also pull off the play ottener in games than do the big fellows, for what else have they learned to play? Take Citadel—a team weighing about 155 pounds. They do not pre tend to bucking ability, nor even to end running strength, notwith standing their back field is as fast ss 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 it. 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. But even if it succeeds only once in four trials the team using it has undoubtedly made first down. Perhaps it has gained long run out of it, and not merely the re quired ten yards. Therefore, if such an average could be main tained. a team could view with per fect equanimity the three failures it met with out of the four at- f MALADIES OF MANKIND .

HOLBROOK, Ph. G„ M 0., SPECIALIST 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 sonje 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. J believe this is a record number. Eight were successful, or 250 per cent, which is a fairly good percentage. • « • About Being “On Edge.’’ 'J 1 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 thq 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 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 winning from Swarthmore they might win the game all right, but would they be capable of a tresh keying up in all THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS 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 lesult 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 doos not al ways go to the team that runs the first half the quicker.

That’s what I have been telling Mr. Murphy for three years. 1 begged him to spend money for ball players, and mentioned several whom I would like. He said he was not a ’sucker’ to pay fancy prices for young players. He said we had a good enough team: that 1 ought to make it win. “What Murphy needs is scouts and nerve enough to spend some money for players. He has a brother for a scout. 1 told him he ought to get two or three experienced baseball men; somebody who would know a player if he saw one. “We had the shortest training season we ever had this spring, and the worst.

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. I The Giants' veteran liurler is truly as great in defeat as he could possibly be 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 th'ee 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.

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 ills splendid work. Matty lias 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. Matty shouldered the brunt of the work and outpitched them all. Wood was looked upon as head and shouldeis 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 instructions.

Ragged defense lost the first battle several times over when it allowed the Red Sox to tie th* score after the Giants had oxer 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 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 plate. 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 mor4 the players be hind him were unequal to the task that the veteran twirler was carry ing on so successfully and that is the reason Boston boasts of a championship team today. it matters not that the Giants loijt.
