vt HAUGHTON WANTS FASS ABDLIGHED “HARVARD MAN FORGETS SPECTATOR, NEWS O Somebody is always throwing a monkey wrench in the ma- chinery. Along comes Percy D. Haughton with a suggested change in the forward pass rule which, virtually means that Harvard does not want the onward flip to be used. It also means that this founder of the Harvard gridiron system of coaching would rather not have the open game. : The reports from New York would “lead one to believe that Haughton feaw ed the passing game it make foot- ball more of a gamne of basketball. How- ever, Mr. Haughton’s fears appear to -be ungrounded. More likely we sus- pect, that the trouble with Haughton is that the pass game used by oQpos ing elevens—for instance Yale—has proved to be a trifle annoying for Har- vard teams. Here is the substance of Haughton’s idea: “Instead of having an incompleted forward pass revert-to the team which started the play, make a forward pass blocked behind the thrower's line’ of| Scrimmage’ subject to recovery by op- ponents under the same conditions as @ blocked kick,” is Haughton’s idea, To simplify, Haughton apparently ‘wants to make the team using the pass assume all responsibility and make it Such a hard weapon to use in offen- give play that it seldom will be at- tempted. Cleverness In getting away Passes, receiving them, and in gener- ally speeding up the game and in mak- ing it more interesting for*both specta- tors as well as players would seem to be the idea of the Harvard coach. Just why football should revert to the old methods of smash-the-line-and- Plough thru, probably Mr: Haughton May some day explain. Certainly when such teams as the University of Kansas, Princeton, the University of- Oklahoma, Ames, the University of Missouri, Ohio State and Centre are able to win their decisive battles by using the aerial attack, the success of the forward pass can_hard- ly be questioned, Oklahoma is probable winner of the + enti be ped conference, Ohio has itched‘ off Big Ten honors while Princeton appears to be nearly as good as any team in the east this year. Just Why the Harvard mentor should raise any: objections at this time is still “Puzzling even the eastern friends, of Haughton, ‘ "Course the has an unlisted that Harvard stilt ition of players —that is athletes not wearing numbers “as other perfectly good eastern, cen- | yard, 9 to 0, and the numbers did not seem to bother the Yale players. ‘We suspect Hapghton is just a little antiquated and hates to give in to any- thing new. He should not overlook the spectator entirely or his team may be! termed the high bicycle of the gridiron.

UTAH UNIVERSITY, The University of Utah was outclass- | -ed and outplayed last Saturday lator veports of the game indicate, the Uni- versity of Wyoming football team mak-| ing 12 first downs to the five collected by the Mormons. Only once did Utah! threaten to score and then the Cow- boys held on the 10-yard line. Three field goals attempted by Wyoming went wrong on account of the muddy condi- tion of the ball. Layman, Wyoming's greatest player for the’ season, dodged thru the Mor- mon team for 50 yards only to be downed 20 yards from a score. A field goal attempted with only 20 seconds to play went to one side by a narrow margin. Erb, a hard hitting backfleld man, sustained three broken ribs in the game. This was probably the most se- rious injury suffered by any Cowboy Player this year. When it is considereg that Colorado University was defeated by Utah, the greatness of Coach Corbett’s team can plainly he distinguished. HOUSTON STARS. AGAIN FOR LARAMIE. | Stubby Houston, the great little back- field man on the Laramig high school football team this season, again show ed his all-round playing ability by lug- ging the pigskin over for the winning score in the Laramie-Cheyenne game last Saturday. Corbett also displayed his strength which has earned him mention as a possible all-state high school football player.
