On the part of teams, cspc-l ipon the aerial heave as a short cut to victory, but as a sound element of attack, it will figure as prominently in the offensive as ever; in fact, more so. For not every one realizcs just how has come to be in modern foot ball. | Chlcago always plays sound foot | ball and plays it excellently, but her | game is the game of a past, epoch, and the new five-yard penalty will not | restore the balance for the Maroons. | And fortunately so: for anything that | would alter the present trend of foot- ball offensive would be pretty much | of a calamity. I Pass Is Essential. | The elevens that stand to the fore Jthese days are the teams that throw and receive the ball with the greatest proficiency. Such teams will be out- standing in the coming season and in the future. too. This should not be construed as meaning that greatest value of the pass lies in its frequent use as a.play | peculiar to itself, a sort of specialized, individualistic maneuver, which is {kept apart from the body or say | rather, the main scheme of attack. | The records will show that elevens | which have used the forward pass in this way have lost as many games through its employment as they have ! | won. inasmuch as the aerial play can develop into a perilous boomerang. No, the forward pass has to be in- corporated into the warp and woof of | offense and is quite as valuable as a | threat as it is under operation as an {actual play. Indeed, the writer recalls | quite clearly that when the foot ball i rules committee installed the forward ! pass in 1906 they were actuated more by the theory that the defense would ; be spread. giving greater opportuni- | ties for ball rrying. than by any {idea that the pass would of itself de- velop great formidability.

Must Be Deceptive. Lvery one, of course, realjzes that one of the highest values of the throw lies in the province of surprise. No team can bank much upon a passing game that is advertised in its in- cipience; nor, on the other hand, can a team expect to make a great deal out of a running or a kicking attack that does hot contain the ever.con- | stant threat of a pass. Michigan and { Dartmouth bhoth obtained the most satisfactory results out of running the ball and passing it because the de- fense seldom knew what was coming until the play had finally developed. These and other fine teams—Prince- ton in the Yale game, for one—would gain appreciable ground time and again by the play developing into a ball-carrying adventure, even when the defensive territory was invaded by three or more eligible receivers. The short pass into flat territory will continue to increase in favor as| against the long parabolic heave, not | only because the danger of intercep- tion is less but because as a play it is more exact and scientific and much | more simply worked into the general ischeme of advancing the pigskin.
