STORTS. THE EV. ING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1929. SPORTS. Yale’s New Attack Flayed by, Critic : Forward Pass Defense Hardest to Teach ADVISED 70 RETURN T0 JONES, OFFENSE Perry Doubts New Haven Has Coach Who Can Teach Wing-Back Style. l long and return to the attack de- vised by Tad Jones, which had been her stock in trade since the war. Cer- tainly, as the situation stands, it is diffi- cult to visualize this present scheme of offense winning foot ball games for the Elis. Plain speaking at this time surely will not be resented by any man who is whole-heartedly interested in Yale's success on the gridiron. In any case, plain words are going to be set down by this writer. Primarily, then, it may be asked who is there coac! at Yale at the present time who is qualified to teach this wing-back scheme of attack. ‘Warner's formations are, of course, public property. The wise old man of Palo Alto is always willing to send dia- grams to myl coach who writes for them, But these are merely outlines. Lying within is a maze of subtle boot movements and feints all relating to an organic deception which takes Warner— the old master himself—two or more ears to apply, even when working with same get of men. It took him ex- <actly four years to bring about that mechanical perfection and bewildering deception which the Stanford - eleven displayed before some 70,000 awed l'g;(l.\ o tators against the Army at the Grounds last Fall. Enemy Tipped Off. So what may-be expected of Yale? ‘The answer s, nothing much when the opponent is of fair strength, coached by a man who knows his businoss. Against Georgia, Yale militated against even such an attack as she possessed by injecting into it ti -od features that Warner never would have dared to apply. As, for instance, the tail-back would float back when the play was to be a pass or a punt. At no other time did he do this. So the Georgia de- fense was always wise. And as for Booth’s forward ing, he always threw the ball while moving backward, was on his heels when he let the ball 80. Prep school stuff! Again, Yale's man in motion before the bell was snapped was another tip- off, inasmuch as the play invariably followed the direetion of the in motion. When this wing bnck—!ld not ‘start ball uupred he worked on the weak side defensive tackle. So Yale ":unaihed r:«ln a play that w-:mnot in- lantaneously, or else quickly, diagnosed by_the Georgia defense. Booth most certainly is a fine back, ?nu’;dl!hth:nu\’lle lflta;,ln s ht‘mw consti- e agains o'ving defensive have to do his d in his g backfield BY LAWRENCE PERRY. T would not surprise the writer in any way were Yale to ditch her new wing-back offense before very Temedied. Her sicl system of lat- erals will cost nnu:l.’ - Yale Is Misled. It is difficult to sympathize with the mood of confidence in which Yale came to Athens. Vermont, a team of prep school caliber, had been crushed in the first game and so, with that peculiar psychology that exiets at New Haven, every one began to whoop' about & world-beating outfit. There was no willingness to await an adequate test. Now the fact is that Yale has the material for a really fine eleven, but it is extremely doubtful that one will be developed unless, as the saying is, the coaches tumble to themselves. Last Fall the writer met Yale scouts at many a game played by teams not on Yale's 1920 schedule. They were taking copious notes. They were look- ing, they said, for a new offense for Yale. Result, the Stanford wing-back scheme. Now the melancholy fact was that Yale did not need a new attack. The one she had was fine. What she lacked last year was a well coached line. That was all. A sane, conservative attack, more often than not, is better than a radical offense. With one hysterical hop Yale spanned the chasm that sep- arates the conservative and the radical. And it cannot be done. Of course, on the other hand, Yale eouhee may work lllle'hg'lmle as the progresses. may. But trvm tme who has little faith in coach- ing miracles, the advice to Yale is— get back to the stuff you know some- thing about. Of the leading university ‘elevens that were defeated on Saturday more than one will be a much different out- it by November than it is today. Foot ball these days has to be viewed with a different understanding from that of a decade and more ago. Any eleven now is likely to beat any other and the big fellows have to accept this situation with philosophy while llovlly they pursue their plans with reference to natural rivals to be met later in games the outcome of which will speil success or failure of the scason. If, for example, Georgia Tech de- ‘velops to a point where she defeats Ala- bama and Georgia her adherents will account the Flll of 1929 a blazing suc- cess irrespective of what has previ- ously happened. Therein lies the merit of natural rivalry and teams that are blessed with traditional friendly enemies are in a happy position inasmuch as disasters that occur in the course n( early development have in these days of widelr distributed strength little or no moral significance. It would not be at all surprising were Georgia Tech, viewing her present status as a foot ball combinati n, to lose her next two games. But next month, the writer D’l‘ldlcu, the Yellow- )nckeh are gol be an outfit worthy of the high sundnd of this Atlanta institution. The material is there and Wwith care and attention to detail the coaches are working upon the prublm of effecting proper_combinations. Michigan's defeat by Purdue may hurt the Wolverines when the final conference standing is reckoned, but conditions in the Big Ten today lN such that champlonships in this nrg ization are beginning to mean less victory over certain time-honored ri- vals. Let Michigan defeat Harvard in that big intersectional game next month, let her defeat Iliinois and Ohio State and you will find no repenting over."Sichigan has inherent tength over, n has inherent st and a flock of Pyrdue forward passes brenkln. just right against her means little in terms of the e. Prince hmls(vlnlmbenmng Last Baturday’s score, Brown 13, Princeton, 12, may be constructed as lvidmu against such a statement. But it should be borne in mind that the Tigers m’;:a :hnlr two t;‘mchdum by . run~ ning plays through a strong opposing fine and that 15 addition she mads two touchdowns, one of which was thrown out because of offside, the other because of roughing the kicker.

ROPER, Princeton Foot Ball Coach.® Against Air Attack. NE of the hardest things to coach is forward pass defense. In Harvard and Yale gamcs with Princeton since the war the majority of touchdowns made sgainst us have been on forward passes direct, or a forward pass has led up to the score. I have in mind particularly the Hi vard game of 1919. Princeton was lead. ing 10-3 up to within five minutes of the end of the game, and then the Harvard quarterback ran back and threw a beautiful pass to Eddie Oluy. who was playing in the wing position. Casey caught the pass lbom. midfield and dodged his way to & touchdow. The game ended 10-10. In 1927 Princeton was leading Yale 6-0 within eight minutes of the end of the game. Yale had the ball on its 40-yard line, when Hoban, Yale quarter, made a beautiful long pass to Fishwick, right end. Fishwick was a rangy fel- low well over 6 feet. He caught the pass on the run and never stopped until he crossed the Princeton goal line. This play was one of the prettiest and best executed I have ever seen. Yale scored another touchdown a few minutes later and the game ended 14-6. The pass did it. Constant Drill Effective. I am convinced that the only way to perfect a forward pass defense is by constant drill, I give our backfleld 15 minutes a day in this very important practice, generally using two scrub lines with two sets of varsity ends and backs, giving one set practice in passing and the other set practice in defendirg against the pass. An m»remnl competition can be set uY here by keeping an accurate record the number of completed passes made by each side. Nothing !m?rovn any practice as much as competition. For- tunately such practice doesn’t take any- thing out of the players. There is no heavy personal contact and the boys seem to like it because of th: competi- tive end of i The lorwlrd is a dangerous play for a number of reasons. First, because the passers have become so accurate. Again, the recelving of a forward pass has improved tremendously. Almost every team has an end or back, at least, who can catch a ball in almost any imaginable position. And last, the ele- ment of deception can be used st cessfully in forward passi I know of no offensivé play that has improved as much as the forward pass. In 1906, when it was first introduced in the ruln most teams threw the pass end over end while the receivers used to catch it in their arms, as if it were a heavy medicine ball. But now the pass can be thrown 30 or 40 yards with deadly accuracy, Just u the catcher in base ball pegs the ball 40 second base. ‘There are two mothodl of forward pass defense. One is the zone defense, and the other the man-for-man de- fense. In man-for-man defense the de- fensive backfield men, assis in some a’«.-'umwfl'h‘s“np'fr' a nur‘d im offensive player an as in basket 121« defense the %mg h‘ckd s are assigned to a certain and are sup to take any offensive player m&ou;lnw this ter- ritory. Both styles or defense have | on their advantages, and I question whether either should be used ex- clusively. Center Is Key Player. ‘The center is' really the key to an air-tight forward pass defense. When he can play out of the line the defense against the pass is much stronger. With the center out of the line every eligible receiver can be covered if a man-for- man defense is used, or every zone can be 'ulrded if the defensive team plays But wlzh the center out of the line me defense against running plays is Pondlnlly weakened. Some mm noub Pennsylvania and Mlch play a 6-2-2-1 defense with the out of the line entirely. Personally I prefer a varied defense, with the center in and out according to the down, pesition in the field lnd yardage. With high yardage play and center out an open play is likely. With only a yard or so to gain I beneva in playing the center in the line, as here the most nkeli;. play.is & buck and not back lmnu. as often a forward pass with only a yard or so to gain is the best play. It is not expected and the unexpected usually gains in foot ball. This is why the pass is such a danger- ous play; it can be used to ad- vmt;:e when you least think it is nter 3 . by Ne - (Copyright, 1920 by North American News. 7 VERDICT “And what have you to say for yourself, young man?” “Well—I wear VAN HEUSENS, your Honor.” *“That’s enough—Case Dismissed.” EUSEN Smartest 'Nlll.l P3~J°Nl3 N.Y where a heady quarter- | trials Fights Last Night By the Assoclated Press, ', Mich.—Lou Scozza, Buffalo, stop lnm ’urmanh Europe (3).
