Moore, graduate treasurer of the Harvard Athletic Assoctation and a member of the foot ball rules com- mittee, sald today that he felt the present discussion on the “menace of the forward pass” was a debatabls point that was likely to be brought up for consideration when the rule- makers gather for their annual Mid- wintcr session. He said he thought the forward pass was here to stay, but with possible Iimitations or restrictions. “The aim of the foot ball rules com- mittee always has been to keep the &ame balanced,” he sald, “and if It Is felt that the forward pass is becom- ing too important a factor, overbal- ancing rushing and klckin some- thing may be done to curb the tendency. “This ~season's ball game from foot throughout the country would indicate that some teams weaker in many departments have scored vicfories by forward passing. There is no question that the pass Is dangerous, and yet T believe that it cannot be ruled out of the game with- out substituting something for it “If it is agreed that the forward puss Is now too important. then some plan may be reached whercby u penalty could be inflicted for unsuc- cessful passes; say, a 5 or 10 vard penalty from the point where the ball was put Into play.

Already 28 games of major caliber have been scheduled, with indica- tions pointing to this number being doubled. One of the outstanding prospects is that afforded by increased rivalry between leading Lastern elevens and Western Conference teams, six games falling in this category in 1925, according to lists so far available.

This boy, struggling along and help- ing take care of his mother, does not know it, but just as surely as the sun rises the gates of a dozen big colleges will swing open for him, two years from now, and he will march triumphantly into some glittering new world of youthful dreams. He will find himself mysteriously invested with scholarship honors, holding a make-believe job, enjoying fame and personal prestige. Furthermore, this golden highway will lead from the college out into the world, for the makers and men- tors of foot ball carry through.
