FOOTBALL COACHES i4L Wa YS ON LOOKOUT ; FOR SOMETHING NEW lo6 Follows Leader, Even on Gridiron, and Doubtless, Penn State's Daring Forward Passing From Behind Own Goal Will Be Given Trial by Others ? Ily KOBKKT W. MAXWELL s Copyrtoht, lit), by Pubtio Ledetr Co. r"S n good thing Pcnn State got away with that forward pass behind its own goal lino in the last game of the season, because every small team in tho country would have adopted it and tried to get behind their own goal line to pull U off. It was such an unexpected and entirely uncalled for play that every body was taken by surprise at first, and then became very much peeved be cause they never thought of it themselves. Funny how the mob follows a leader in football. Coaches constantly are ton the lookout for new stuff, and no matter how wild or woozy it seems, a lot df teams try it out. 'Way back in 1002 when Carlisle bcored on Harvard, the first hidden ball trick was worked successfully. One of the Indians shoved , -the ball under the back of his sweater and crossed the goal-lino without being .loucbed. Much publicity was given the stunt, and in a week nearly every team in tho country tried to life it. Some of the players discarded their padded jerseys nnd insisted on wearing sweaters. Then rame Warner's famous criss cross, known as the reverse play. Tliat still is being used. l'rank Hinkcy's bewildering lateral pass attack was copied far and wide, and when Foster Sanford sprung the multiple kick which never amounted to much, other colleges fell in line nnd tried it out. It seems that football coaches arc willing to try anything once. But that forward pass play worked by I'cun State against Pittsburgh , last Thanksgiving Day was a wonder. It was premeditated, nnd resulted In a touchdown, but if you had asked any coaches two weeks ago about tho advis ability of using the play, nine out of ten would hnvc tnid you were crazy. It was entirely too ris"ky and gave the other tide too much of a chance to recover the ball and score a touchdown. Howocr, the play was tried, lies tossed the ball to Higgins from behind tho goal line and the speedy end romped from chalk mark to chalk mark until the goal line was crcsed. Hugo Bezdek was the man who doped out the piny, nnd It's a safe bet ho got the ides fifteen years ago when playing with the University of Chicago. In 3004 when Walter Eckersall was going good, the little quarterback used to drop behind his own goal line in kick formation nnd run with the ball Instead pt punting it. lie tcored many touchdowns on tlie play ana uczdeK never lias forgotten it. B VT the real reason the play now away xcith if.. Had the forward Pittsburgh man, JIcss would have been Fred McrUlc's running mate in the concrelo, hall of shame. It's all right if you get men; with it, but tf not remember what happened to Kempton, of Yale, when that '' lateral pass went flooief Cornell Had Chance to'Pull State Play "CJT1LL, when you dope out the play and the conditions under which it can be worked, it is strango that no one ever tried it before. When a team is kicking behind its own goal-line you can bet almost anything that no funny stuff will be tried. The object of the game is to get the ball away from the goal line and the safest method is to punt. Therefore, the secondary defense moves up to tho line of scrimmage, two men go back about thirty yards to catch tha ball and there is an unprotected area where any sort of a forward pass can be worked successfully. Bezdek knew this and also was aware that no one would be expecting an ncrial play. Therefore, Higgins and two other State men were all alone when the ball was tossed, and with those interfcrers it was a cinch to score n touch down. It was a daring play which worked beautifully because the Pitt play ers were caught off their guard. This same play almost was worked in the Cornell-Penn game on Franklin Field last Thursday, but the chance was lost because Speedy Hush, the Cornell coach, refubed to take an unfair advantage. We have beard a lot about the ethics of football, but Itush is one man who plays the gamo absolutely fair. This is not a slam nt other coaches or auything like that, because there is a higher type of sportsmanship in football than in any other branch of athletics. But this incident speaks for itself. Cornell held I'enn for downs on tho one-yard line, and Shlverick dropped lack for a punt. Before tho ball was passed, "Pink" Dunbar, tho old Yale center, who was on tho Cornell bide, rushed up to Itush and said : "Look at the way Penn is playing for that kick 1 The secondary defense Is on the line of scrimmage, Bert Bell is back for a kick and it is a cinch to work a forward pass! Why don't you send in a substitute and try it?" Others told him the same thing, but Speedy Itush never moved. IIo sat there, saw tho ball kicked and then turned to his man : ill DECIDED not to do anything," he said, "because I believe it ts up 1a the men on the field to do thetr own thinking. It was a great spot for a pass, and I only tmt Shivcrick had thought of it." Vuuldn't it have been strange if the same play had been worlcd at both ends of the statet 0 Rash Had Too Much Embryo Material TTTHILE on the subject, it's about time to say a few words about the Cornell ' football team this year. The Ithacans had a disastrous season, losing to Colgate, Dartmouth, Lafayette, Penn Stnte nnd Penn, but those who saw tho team in action against Penn last Thursday were surprised. Cornell did NOT liave a weak eleven. Good football was played and It was not until the second half that the Bed and Blue was able to clinch the victory. Cornell was up against it this year and Speedy Itush cannotrftie blamed lor the poor showing. Only two letter men were back, and a new team had to be selected. This .took time, as the coach hnd to btudy all of the candidates. When ho got one combination working together, Colgate was played and several of the men were injured. After that, another crowd was selected and Dartmouth was plajcd. Then came Lafayette and Penn State, two very power ful teams. Bush never had a cbanco to develop a Varsity. . fOO many hard games ruined all of his plans and embryo star play- I ers. He will have better luck Professional Football TTNLESS something is done to curb u West, the college game is likely to college players have been approached and offered largo bums of money to play on Sundays, and sometimes the temptation has been too great to resist. To ,a boy in college the sum of 5100 and expenses for plajing one football gamo ii a whole Jot of money, and many nre likely to take a chance -for the "soft pickings." If they are caught their college careers are ruined forever. Professional football managers should get together nnd agreo not to ap proach players who have not finished their college courses. If a senior has flayed his last game nnd is through with athletics, there is no reason why lie khouldn t plaj in pobt-scason professional contests, if he is so inclined. J70ft the good of football this should be done. Pro managers should lay off the freshmen, sophomores and juniors, nnd should agree not to even mention money to them. Modem Attach Is Highly Developed COLLEGE stars again will grace the gridiron Saturday when the big indepen dent football game of the season is pulled off on the nigh School arena nt r S'orristown. The hostile elevens are Conshohocken and Pboenixvllle. The lat tej; hat had a good record this season us far as scores are concerned, but has pot been up against the stiff propositions that Conshohocken has met on tho chalked field. I As an exhibition of the modern game the affair Saturday will be all that can lie desired, Conshohocken has developed an open attack that, coupled with tjiclr straight, dashing play, has made Crawford's eleven one of tho best in tho land and in this day of so many high-power machines, "one of the best" means .oniethtng. There is no doubt that Conshohocken with her array of luminaries .could make a stand against any team in the country, including tho two great ttatns in Ohio Canton and Massillon. fiOjiSnonOCKEN and Phoenixville have ieoiiei to get officials v from the central board for their big clash.

The margin of six points, and nil from fouls, fails, however, to show the superiority of the Suburbanites over tho Down towners.

G LA YTON "SCR A TCHES" WAY TO CUE VICTORY Sedalia Star, After Talcing 15-Point Setback, Noses Out Maturo in Thrilling Match, 125-121 By JAMES S. OAKOLAX A BASEBALL game is never over un til tho last man's out, a football gamo is never closed until the final whistlo sounds and a pocket billlnrd gamo in never decided until the winning point is pocketed. This was demonstrated very clearly in tho in-and-out, up-nnd-down, won-nnd-lost and won again marathon stag ed in tho concluding match of the sec ond round of tho nationnl pocket bil liard championship tourney at tho Parkway Building early this morning. The gamo started last night, but tho referee did not blow the whistlo at midnight nnd .no time wai tnken out for tea or lunch or naps or anything.

His red thatched head nnd ruddy face glistened beneath the inenndescents. His bmile wai illuminating. Maturo carefully ironed the kinks out of the tip of his cue with sandpaper, applied tho chalk lavishly, then set Iifm -self for the final shot. "Two ball in corner," muttered Ma turo as ho took careful aim nnd llred. lie IircI everything on the ball but di rection and tlie ivory avoided the trap. This was the chance James Maturo. of Denver, had to clinch the game nnd with this failure went victory. Maturo fought n brilliant, uphill fight all tho way and with triumph resting upon his beaming, perspiring brow, it "blew." John C.
