THE BEMIDJI DAIL Y PIONEER SPORTS . . REAL FOOTBALL ON TOMORROW Iowa to Play Minnesota; Wisconsin vs. Northwestern. New York, Oct. 27:—The mid- season football games are now at ‘hand. Practically all of ‘the lead- ing teams have finished their so- called practice contests and will have harder propositions to encounter with each game to come. Tomorrow promises much of interest, not only in the East but in the West and South as well. Yale is the only big team that will ‘have a comparatively easy time, meeting Colgate at New Haven. Harvard will have a formidable op- ponent in Brown and Princeton will have to play some against Holy Cross. Pennsylvania will meet Penn State and Cornell will have the Un- iversity of Pittsburgh for an oppon- ent. . Some pretty evenly balanced teams will line up tomorrow in the middle West. Missouri will journey = to Lincoln for a game with the strong ‘Nebraska team and Minnesota and Towa will play their annual game at Minneapolis. Wisconsin will have Northwestern for an opponent and Indiana will take on Washington University. An intersectional con- test will be furnished by the Michi- gan-Vanderbilt game at Ann Arbor. Among the Southern colleges some interesting contests are in prospect. One of the most promising is that of George Tech and Alabama at Atlanta. The University of Georgia is to play Mercer at Athens and the Univers- ity of Tennessee is slated to meet the North Carolina A. and M. at Raleigh. The big game in Texas will be that of the University of Texas and the University of Arkansas at Austin. FORWARD PASS STAYS This Play Expected to Be of i Great Importance. ‘For Those Teams Which Have ne Field Goal Men the Tossing Be- comes More and More Essen- tial—Rule Changes. Forward passing is likely to be even more important in football games this year than ever before, according to many critics, and will be the mainstay of a great many teams. Those squads which have field goal kickers of more than usual ability will be able to hus- band their forward pass plays against weaker opponents, relying upon the abllity of their kickers to give them victories. For those which have no field goal men, however, the tossing becomes more and more important, and the coaches who have these teams will have their work cut out for them in constantly developing plays with which to mystify their opponents. Only one important rule has been wmade since last season, and this was male with a view of rendering the forward pass a more practicable play. Under last year,s rules, the forward pass had to be made from a point at least five yards back of the line of scrimmage and if uncompleted was brought back to the point from which the pass was made, the uncompleted pass counting a down. Under the revised rule instead of taking the ball back to the place from which the pass was made the oval is brought back to the place of the previ- ‘ous down. As the rule specifically re- quires at least five yards back of the line secrimmage and as the point from which the pass was made last year averaged at least ten yards bact of the line, it will be seen that in fram- ing the new rule the framers of the code removed a great ground loss pen- alty. It 'was expected last season that the restrictions on the length of the for- ‘ward pass would result in making the play a short lob instead of a long over- head throw, but this was proved to be wrong, for the one varlety of pass was used with as much execution as the ‘other. The code declares the ball shall be considered dead when it passes a line 20 yards in advance of the line of scrimmage, but as the pass is usu- ally made from a point at least eight vards back of the line of scrimmage the total forward progress of the ball is from 28 to 30 yards, and even with a more generous rule it is doubtful if tosses of more than this distance would be attempted. In the great majority of cases long passes are shot out toward the ends rather than directly over the line, and 4t 18 seldom a pass is caught more than ten yards beyond the line. Both the long and short pass have their good features to recommond them to coaches, and it is difficult to de- cide which is the preferable. Neither would be of any use were they not run in a deceptive manner, depending for their effectiveness:upon their unex- pectedness. It is a poor team that could not stop a forward pass when one is expected, for where there are ' six men of the offensive team eligible ‘to rceive the pass there are 11 on the ‘defense. In addition to this, the of- 'sensive man first touching the j:llll OF must recover it, while if a ball is touched by an offensive player all 11 of the defending side are thereby made elgible to scramble for it. TOMMY RYAN ACCEPTS OFFER Former Middleweight Champion Will Be Boxing Instructor of Port- fand (Oregon) Club. “Tommy” Ryan, former middle weight champion, has announced his acceptance of an offer to go to Multno: Tommy Ryan. mah Athletic club of Portland, Ore- gon, as boxing instructor. He takes | charge in January. IT’s almost as hard to understand the interpretations of the football rules as it is to understand the rules themselves. Speaking of proselyting, what about this Yale professor walking off with Battling Nelson’s brother from Le- land Stanford? _THE DAY | BADGER’S “COME BACK” STAR “Keckie” Moll, After Rest of Year, Resumes Position at Quarter- back—Better Than Ever. One of the sensations at Madison this season was the return to the game of “Keckie” Moll at quarterback. The little fellow’s rest of a year seems to have been a great benefit to him. He has come back with a de- termination and willingness to work that has indicated a conception of that “Keckie” Moll. about which so much is heard—"the true Wisconsin spirit.” He has lost none of his old-time accuracy in pass- ing and booting while his endurance is better than it has been since the days of his freshman year. GRANT MAKES OBJECTION Sends Letter to Pioneer Explaining Publication of “Graymatter.” J. H. Grant, editor of the “Gray- matter,” the Socialist . publication which was discontinued about six weeks ago, takes objection to the ar- ticle published in last evening’s Pio- neer, which inferred that the “Gray- matter” had discontinued its publica- tion, and . that the new paper “Thought” will take its place. He wishes it understood that the new publication is the effort of indi- viduals and not an enterprise con- nected with the Socialist local of Be- midji, and that it is being published to fill in a vacancy temporarily caus- ed by the non-appearance of the Graymatter. Editor of Graymatter Says “In order to affect a more con- certed organization of our Socialist publication, that will give us such a better and concrete foundation, it has been necessary for me to throw s0 much of my efforts in other direc- tions that it necessitated the discon- tinuing of the publication of Gray- matter for a few weeks. * “The possibilities of organizing a strong local publication is much better than it was a year ago, and I trust that the fact that Graymatter has not appeared for a few weeks will not cause its sympathizers any great annoyance regarding its wel- fare, for we assure you that we are all active and at all times looking for better and firmer oceans of pro- gress. “l appreciate the efforts of the comrades in the publication called “Thought” for it can only result in further enhancing the progress of the Socialist movement in Beltrami County. J. H. GRANT. Editor Graymatter, J. Evan Carson and C. J. Larson, editor and associate editor of a new Socialist, semi-monthly publication which is about to make its appear- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 191 . ance, infer that their new enterprise will be published regularly as long as they find it profitable. They do not wish to convey the idea to their subscribers that it is being printed to fill the gap or vacancy caused by the non-publication of the “Gray- matter.” And the worst about having your old college chum visit you is that he insists on sitting up with the son. The things that we do just for fun are often the most expensive and far reaching in their effects. A man has to be in the nineties before he really enjoys being called “well preserved.” The man who can do a little of everything is held up as a model to all the men in the block. No man knoweth whither he go- eth, and lots of ’em don’t care so long as the going is good. . It is a most disappointing person who neglects to say the obvious thing after you have carefully led up to it. Coolness in Extremity. “Do you think he would be cool in time of danger?” “I think his feet would.”—Houston Post. Some men think they are going some if they have a ginger ale, a ten cent cigar and take in a picture show. The worst thing about having your mother-in-law visit you is that she always insists on getting up with the sun. On the last night of his vacation a man goes to bed with a sneaking hope that some one will die and leave him a fortune before morning. Many a woman who has pinned her faith to a man later on wishes she had pinned it to a ten dollar job | instead. The neat housekeeper never can understand why*the woman with a raft of children always visits her in fly time. Berman.
