LATERAL PASS
A SUCCESS,
Referee of 'Army and Navy Game Maintains Strong
, Defense Makes Straight
Use Believes Present
,' By WILLIAM S. LANGFORD
Referee or. Armj-Navy Same.
The football season which has Just
cloned -was, In many respects, unlyuo In
tho history of the sport.
Probably no playing season has pro
dined more development In methods of
advancing the ball, and, perforce, of
guarding against the varied styles of at
tack. This Is due, ln.no small degree, to tho
fact that for tho past three years tho
playing; code has remained practically un
changed In Us Important particulars.
The development of a football team Is
a alow process, and It requires not only
proper material, but time, study, experi
ment and Interminable practice to obtain
results from any particular set ot theo
ries Upon methods of attack and defense.
Curing the years when radical changes
In the playing code tvero so frequent It
was almost a physical Impossibility for a
coach to put his theories to practical use
before a season was ended, and the adop
tion of a new set of rules compelled the
abandonment of some essential part of
his "system."
When tho Rules Committee obtained
what It behoved to be a Talr balance be
tween attack and defense, nnd approved
a. code which, with minor changes, has
stood the test for three years, the coaches,
were enabled to proceed with their plans
from year to year and develop and per
fect those styles of play which had
promised mo3t after tho tests of the pre
ceding season.
It Is partly for this reason that thero
has been greater proficiency In the for
ward pass, when properly employed, nnd
that there has been so varied and de
ceptive use made of it.
During tho first year or two of Its use
tho forward pass was an effective, If
hazardous, ground-gaining play, but tho
methods of defense against It soon de
veloped to such an extent that Its use
soon becamo limited to a mero "threat."
With the coming of tho so-called "con
cealed attack," tho lateral pass (Its com
plements, the double and Ulple passes),
and tho revival of tho "on-slde" kick,"
the usefulness of tho forward pass as a
ground-gainer has been materially en
hanced, and this season has witnessed
many effective and spectacular variations
of this much-discussed play.
'This is largely due to the tremendous
burden placed on tho defense to guard
against the different styles of attack
classified under the general headings
"llne-p!ay," "open-game" and "klcklng
game.y Those ho are fond of discussing the
means whereby football games aro won
or lost are very apt to refer to the
"psychology" of the game. Whether
this is a correct term or not may be
an open question, but thero is not the
slightest doubt In the minds of coaches
and students of the game that players
on defonso are under a considerable
mental strain when faced with the neces
sity of guarding against the unexpected

Golf Star Has Perfect Tem
perament, However, for
Stroke Competition; News
From the Links.
Charles TV. (Chick) Evans, Jr., tho West
ern amateur champion and runner-up to
Walter Hagen In the national open, Is
credited, by most authorities with possess
ing, a perfect temperament for stroke
competition, but lacking In some one fea
ture that goes to make up the perfect
match play temperament. Nothing could
ho further from the truth, and the fact
that he holds the Western amateur title,
won at match play, and was only one
stroke removed from the winner of the
open title, decided at medal play, surely
tears out this statement.
Out of three Important match play
events Evans was entered In during the
past season, ho won the Western and
Incidentally, had an average for the
week's play of a trifle over 71, or a Httlo
less than a stroke over par for the Kent
Country Club course at Grand Ilaplds,

.knows how Evans lost In the British ama

ATTACK
SAYS LANGFORD
Forward Pass of But Little
Rules Arc Satisfactory.
attack of a versatile opponent. Tho com
parison so often made between football
und warfare certainty holds true In
this that victory Is bound up In cen
tring cue's strength against the weakest
point of the opponents defensive line.
The team which possesses n versatile at- '
tack comprising a series of effective Una
plas, forward passes and a comprehen
sive kicking game and which has also
that greatest asset a "general" who can
recognize the value antl appropriateness
of tho right play at the right time can
so bewilder a team on defense that It Is
almost Impossible to prevent a score.
In other words, once a team on defense
Is thrown off Its physical balance It Is
dllllcult for It to retnln Ills mental bal
ance or to stop tho assaults of Its oppo
nent Bhort of the goal line.
Tho team once scored against by n
team of fairly even strength Is at n
great disadvantage, and It must be pos
sessed of great milling powers, as well
as an efficient attack, to offset the mental
effect of an adverse score.
Whllo this may sound academic, nnd .
probably is true to a certain extent In i
t,ny contest of brain and br.ivvn. It Is
pulllculurl true In the preAC.it ga no
of football and Is duo without doubt to
the great versatility of nttack made pos
sible by the present playing code. It Is
this very feature, which has nc? united
for thii wide "breaks" In the scoiot (
this ear's games, the grc.'i reversal 01
form and the nlmost universal failure
of the "experts" to predict the outcome
of so many games this fall.
Tho upsets of the season have been
numerous and have brought Into promi
nence one smaller college, team after an
other, and whllo this particular fcaturo
has undoubtedly produced heart-burnings
at those larger Institutions which have
held a monopoly of tho much-dlscusscd
and problematical "championships," thero
Is not the slightest doubt that It has
tended to Improve football as a sport in
the larger sense.
The possibilities of the further devel
opment of the lateral pass and other
features of the Canadian game are great,
and It is to be hoped that the experi
ments begun will be continued.
Tho most successful defense for this
style of play found thus far seems to
bo In tho quick charging of tho first line
of defense, which. If successful, brings
about tho development of the play before
It has fairly started and enables tho sec
ondary defense, to stop the man who
finally receives the ball. This style of de
fence, however, presupposes forwards cap
able of outguessing their opponents In
tho lino and breaking through quickly
enough to force tho play also It pre
supposes a complete and perfect co-operation
between the first and second lines
of defense.
No doubt, ns In former years, there will
bo many suggestions, emanating from
all over the country, for changes (more
or less radical) In tho rules.
It Is, however, strongly to be hoped
that tho Rules Committee, will resist the
appeals which will be made to it and
allow tho game to be further developed
under the coUo which has proved so emi
nently satisfactory to player and public
alike.
EXPERTS DIFFER
OH WELSH BOUT
WITH SHDGRUE
Majority Give Jersey City
Fighter Decision on Points.
Champion Not in Best
Form.
NEW YORK. Dec. S -Freddie Welsh de
fended his ytlo as lightweight champion ot
the world against Joe (Young) EhugTue. of
Jersey City, at Madison Square (Jarden last
night bhugruo was the aggressor, but was
unable to inflict much damage on the clever
Ifigllshman Welsh was unwilling to carry the
right to his heavier and younger opponent
The Briton came up smiling round after
round durlnK the ten sessions, his ability to
withstand the punishment giving him assur
ance Neither man scored a knockdown, but
once Shuerue was driven to the ropes
The 000 fans present favored Shugrue, and
the Harden re-echoed with cheers each time
he landed on the champion there were nu
merous clinches, and the crowd frequently
hissed Welsh for his continual holding .The
popular opinion was that Shugrue won by a
wide mirgln on his aggressiveness,
Appended are the New York newspaper de
cisions on the Welsh-Shugrue right last night
at Madison Square Garden:
BUN Joe tlhugrue mads good his promise to
muss up reddle Welsh. He whipped Welsh
In every round but tho second Ind tenth.
Welsh managed to make them even.
HEaAI.D It waa lucky for "Fredale"
Welsh, lightweight champion of the world,
that decisions are not allowed in this State
when lie met "Joe" 'Mhugrue, of Jersey Clti.
Bhugruo outpointed the Briton so decisively
that few of the seven thousand who saw the
contest could have held any opinion but one,
and that waa that the champion had been
beaten, without a question, on points.
AMEIUCAN Freddie Welsh dsfended his
title as lightweight champion of the world
against Joe 'Young" Shugrue. of Jersey City.
Shugrue waa the aggressor but was unable to
inflict much damage on the clever Englishman.
MORNINO TBLEORAPH The bout waa fast
throughout and Shugrue kept the crowd nn
edge at all times with his attempts to start
something Neither boxer did any damage
and anything" but a draw decision would have
teen ujifalr.
TUB TIMES Freddie Welsh, the lightweight
champion, was beaten on points It was
not a highly satisfactory bout, however, for
the champion aeemed to be far below tba
atandard which has marked hla ring career
since he conquered Willie Ritchie In London,
WORUJ-Freddle Welsh, had his crown
badly battered by Jpe Shugrue After the
tentd round Welsh waa a bruised and a sad
object aa a, lightweight champion.
TWnuNE Welsh failed to win a round,
with the wsslbie exception of the tenth, la
which both fought at top speed.
Tbwo could be pa dcubt in the mind of the
crowd as to who waa the winner. Ones Bbu
grue got hla baariaga be went after the cham
pion and fought him off hi feet.

Our old friend "Kid" McCoy will be 12310.30
poorer today as the result of a verdict ren
dered against Mrs. "Kid" McCoy for ex.
penses at the Hotel Ansonla. New York city.
It was related In court that Mrs. Selby ("Kid''
McCoy's wife) had signed a contract for a
three-year Uuse of rooms at the Ansonla, Mrs.
McCoy contended It was for one jear. The
Court ruled otherwise, and "Kid" will have
to "come across" with the "kale" or lore his
wife for an Indefinite period.

will not allow any one to have that -which she
