. \Goach ‘haughton that the
Pass is an Ineffective
Weapon of Defense
When Conch anughton. of Harvard,j
.criticised the forward pass as not be‘.
lug on ct‘l’ectivc'weupon of offense:
when the opponents know how to cope
with it he stirred up a lloruet's nest
in. the. football world. Many other foot-
ball counties and players «think the
play an effective one. Notre Dame. one
05' the most successful eleveus of the
eynr, thinks it well worth while. nor
is this strange in View of the fact that
b‘; means of this play the ’Vl'esterners
defeated West Point and won than)"
other games.
Walter Camp. the Yale
coach. said yesterday:
“The forward pass is the progressive
element in football and any one. who
has seen the Arm)" and Navy teams
play previous to their big contest and
then followed that final game to de-
monstrate which was the better learn
must have been tremendously impresl
seed with the fact that in that content.
the forward pass more titan equalled
u superiority in thre or four other de-
partments of play regarded by football
Len as of the greatest importance.
‘For installed. the Navy's running
attack was tremendously powerful.
Their line both. on offense and defense
ins superior to that or the Army.
Their interference‘iwus far better and
their attack by this method could guilt
:itl‘ee or four to one over that of the
Army. And with all this they found
l'ial. the forward puss could score more
frequently and with for less effort, and
they lost. the name by an impressive
score.
“.Nor was this the only occasion up-
on which the forward pass demonstrat-
e-l its effectiveness over superiority in
certain other provinces of the munc.
in the first year of the forward puss

Conch Harper of Notre Dame and
'Dorlas, the star quarterback. take is-
sue with Coach 'Heughton'on the ques-
tion. , . i
“I cannot see where the pass is inof-
fectivc," said Coach Harper. “It may
be improved but the teams of the
West have found it to be the most euc-
. coastal medium of ground gaining ever
put into play. ’l‘he"Enst is unfortunate
‘ in that it does not yet know its value.
In the West, where there were a liltin-
ber of light'teatns, this your the. pass
was developed until it. bewildered
‘ many Eastern teams which were com-
~pelled to cope with it in battling with
Western elevens.”
Speaking of the rules that govern the
forward pass. Harper said: “’l‘heroaro
tiwo flows in the rules that govern the
pass today. I am in favor of melting
the incomplete pass across the line of
scrimmage. ’I‘eums take advantage of
the present rules and the offensive
team often suffers a loss of ten to tilt
teen yards.“ '
The play that il-Ierper and “urine are
agreed on should be changed is the
forward pass out; of bounds on the.
fourth down. Harper has said since
the beginning of the season that the
bull should go to opponents where it.
is put into play. Morton said:
"Tile out-orvbounds pass on the
fourth down is undoubtedly abused.
The spirit of the rule is violated, and
the ball should be taken back to where
it Was put into operation."
T. Truxton More. at former nil-Amer-
ica guard and chairman of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania footbnil com-
mittee, says: “Cornbine the forward
pass with a. strong line bucking al.-
teck and the result is an ideal of~
tense." ‘
George Brooke. fiend coach at Penn.
says the forward pass is very effect.—
ive if a. clever man is throwing it. “it
is most effective when the secondary
defense has been drawn up by a strong
attack on the line," he.declared. “liar—
vard had such a strong primary de-
fense that her hull bucks could have
been so placed as to prevent effective
use of the forward puss."
John Keough. the diaverford
lege conch. says:
“The forward pass is very difficult.
It causes the secondary defense to
keep back and gives better opportu—
nity to work has bucks and and runs."
:Eddie Greene, coach of the Univer—
sity of North Carolina, says that if two
teams are nearly even it in difficult to
gain within the 20-yard line unless the
forward pass is resorted to to keep
the secondary denfense back.
Donald G. Herring, ‘07. who has for
'(‘ol-
several years been a member of the,
graduate coaching ' committee in
charge of Princeton football, and will
have a large part in determining the.
Tigers“ future policy, has this to say
about the forward pass: ‘
“()lu' unanimous opinion -ln flat. the
forward pose is edectlve and can b
worked, but that it never has best.
given it fair chance in the blast. We.
believe that It has never been develop
ed as it should be developed here at
Princeton. and that this holds true of
other colleges in the East. The West
probably can teach us something in
making the forward pass an effective
scoring play.
"To be lime, luck may enter Horne
what into the use of the forward pass.
but luck is an element which plays an
important part in any branch of fool<
bull, and the forward pass cannot be
condemned on this ground alone.
Princeton in emphatically in favor of
the retention of the play just the way
it stands on the rules at present. and
we firmly believe that it can be work-
ed effectively."

No other sport has been subjected to
such bitter criticism as boxing. Prob-
ably because so few people really un-
derstand whet boxing in, and what it
isn’t. Tito dishonesty of some pro-
moters and a. comparatively few box-
ers, and the borrowing and horrible
details sometimes included in exagger-
ated accounts of boxing matches, are
probably responsible for this «wide—
spread prejudice.
The adoption of boxing as a. health-
giviug exercise by such men as Col.
Roosevelt. Maurice IMueteriiuek, Mey-
or-clect Mitchel, of New York. A. J.
llrexel Biddle and scores of others.
and the better regulation of the males
sionnl game by athletic commission-
ers. will gradually result in breaking
down-the prejudice against the listic
sport.
Boxing has bud, more ups anddowns
in its history than any other form of
athletics. it has been the sport. of
kings and princes. and it has been rel-
egated to the gutter. Fiat fighting was
practiced among the old Greeks and
Romans, who used on their hands
heavy gnuntlets made of bands of
leather covered with brass knuckles
and loaded with londen knobs. These
“gloves" were so heavy that it was
difficult to land a blow. but when a
stiff punch did land it was “good
night."
Modern boxing originated in Eng-
land. and Sir Walter Scott tells of a
memorable fistlc bout. between 'Fth
Tuck and King Richard. It was about
two centuries ago that something re-
sembling real boxing. as we now un-
derstand it, was practiced by James
b‘lgg, who became the first English
champion, and also gave lessons in the
art to many noble and wealthy put-
rons.
The bare-fist. lighting of those days.
when rules to govern contests tutti not
been originated, was doubtless brutal.
and yet it had a civilizlng effect. vile-
foro tnht time nobles and geueltmen
settled their quarrels with words.
while the poorer people, who were
prohibited by how idem carrying
swords. armed themselves with heavy
clubs when they wished to settle a dis.
pute. The resort to the tietic duel was.
therefore, of great improvement
.Jnck Broughtou. who became chem~
pion after Figs, was the “first. reformer
of the boxing game. die contrived the
first set. of rules to govern fietic con-
tests, and this code continued in effect

in 1821, eighteen of the leading boxers
of England were chosen to act on
guards at Westminster Abbey. Many
of the boxers of this era of position:
afterward won fume in other profes-
sions. and one of them. John Gully, a
member of Parliament.
(in this side of the Atlantic the bozo
big game developed ntowly.und it was
not until 1849 that Tout Hyer became
the first recognized American chem.
pion by defeating “Yankee" Sullivan.
The first; bottle for the world's chem-
_pionship was fought in England in
1860 between Tom Sayers. a speedy.
clever and game boxer, although reth-
er light, and John C. ilechun. an
American giant. The Yankee had the
best of .it, but the referee called it it

chatwiopship. Heennn was defeated
by a fellow townsmnn of Troy, N. Y.,
John Morrleuey, who was the only
American hover who was ever elected
to the United States Congress.
During the Will's there was a great
agitation against boxing in both hug.
fund and America. Two, things saved
the game. Ono was the appearance in
the role of champion of, Joni Mace,
whose science and cleverness did much
to restore the ring to favor. Mace
was a musician, a beautifully propor-
tioned athlete. 'pltllou‘sh dlmnll for a
heuvyWetgbt.-nnd his skill lulu speed
were a. revelation to followers of the
listic art. The other moat event in
the history of boxing in the '60:; was
the reformation due to the adoption of
what. is called the Marquis of Queens-
berry rules. The old, :hiarquiemdem-
ocretic scholar and gentlemen whose
memory has been much maligned be-
cause of his religious views and his
fondness; for the “manly art." joined
with the late John ti». Chambers in
drawing up a code that would elimi-
nate objectionable brutality from box-
ing matches. Tile «Marquis end Cham-
bers founded the Amateur Athletic
club in lStlti, and this organization not
only kept boxing alive, but. renewed its
popularity.
The next great advance in the refor-
mation of boxing was in the general
adoption of boxing gloves for all
matches. both amateur and profes-
sional. The last important bare
knuckle fight was held about a. quar-
ter of a “century e‘go. when John L.
Sullivan defeated Jake Klimtn in filia-
elsslppb The organization of official
commissions to regulate the game
marks the last. step in the movement
by which boxing has kept pace with
the increasing refinement of civilian-
tion. and has justified its right to are
intence asp healthful. eunobling sport.

In the full of 1911 when the Giants
had gone West. on their trip with a
chance to win a pennant, they had
played. no hard at Pittsburgh that
their uniforms were torn to shreds
from sliding and their nerves were on
raw edge. Modrsw was alarmed.
They had lost the first game to the
(lube and the nervous strain had been
so grout. that they suddenly flunk-
ed.
“Tile man we need right now is old
Robinson." said 'McGraw in the hotel
lobby one morning. “I told Luthum
to wire him to come over and take
the rest of the trip with us. frie‘d
put this gang in good hunter."
About that time Lnthum walked by
and iMcGraw asked him if he had
sent the message?
“lxieft it here last night with the
clerk." said Lathem. ,
“Well. i bet he didn‘t get it," re
plied .McGruw. "He hasn't answered
t. Say. you newspaper boys, go and
fix up a message to him. will you?"
The gang got. together and we put
it little more in the telegram titan Mc~
Gruw had suggested. it read thus:
“Come on first. train and be in for '
the big finish. Team is about to go
to pieces through worry. Come along
and help straighten out their nerves.
They won't even play poker.”
We signed McGrnw’s name to the
measure and “itobby's” smiling face
was in Chicago within 24 hours.
"What‘s the matter with you.
l(‘hiei”.’” he said to Meyers, who was
looking very drawn. "You are work-
ing too hard. Now out out this train-
ing and come with me." He thereupon
took the chief to the bar and made him
take a hooker of whiskey. He then
escorted him to a show. Noticing that
Mbrquerd was in the dumps he also
took him along after giving him on
the quiet 11 bottle of ale. The next.
morning “Robby" started a pool tour-
nament and at noon took Fred Bood-
grnsa and Fred hierkle out to look at
some new styles of clothes.
Within another 24 hours the Giants
were like a lot of schoolboys. They
forgot their troubles and won the
third game. After that it was a tri-
umphnl journey all the way back to
New Yorle—a. romp every minute.
”Robby'e" wonderful personality and
chutnmy ways had done the trick. So
appreciative were the boys of his of-
forts that. they gave him a. good big
chunk of their World's Series prize
money. After that “Robby" was
persuaded to give up his businessin
Baltimore und stay with the club all
the time.
COLLEGE CREWS

Yale Will Have Three Races Next
‘ Spring and Harvard Two.
Harvard and Yale will take opposite
corners in the development of” their
ve‘rntty crown this year. Yale, which
lost year, did not test its crew in any
collegiate competition until the final
race with Harvard on the Themes. is
likely to ougegc in three contests this
coming season. and Harvard. which
was in three races last year. has cut
down the allowance to two.
The Yale crow authorities were crit-
tcleed from many angles a. year into
when the Blue oaremen were on-
known quantities up to the Harvard
race. it was sold by experts that pre-
liminary competition with other col-
lege crew would have aided in do-
velopiug the Yale shell men.

clash with Princeton, and there in a.
