The attack launched a few days |ago on the forward pass by Har-| old M. Gore, coach of the Massa- | chusetts Aggics, has aroused kecn | discussion and drawn support fron veral sources. Gore branded the 1 game, in its present usage, as a “menace” to the gridiron sport and urged ag corrective steps that only three points be allowed for a touchdown due to a pass and that the run by the receciver of the pass {be eliminated. l= L. C. Boles, director of athletics at Wooster college, Ollo, sides with Gore in characterizing the aerial game as a “menace” which is re gating football to the cate- 'gory of outdoor basketball, while further criticism was made public vesterday by Foster Sanford, for- mer Rutgers coach and advocate of the rushing ajtack. None of these critics, however, apparently wishes to abolish the pass, confining their recommenda- tions fo means of putting restric- tions on the aerial game. The pass{ is needed to give balance, says San- ford, admitting acrial game has come to sta nevertheless he believes it is too unfettered in its present form. Supporters of the Gore plan for entting in half the allowance of the he point out that scoring by this meth- od is no more difficult than by field goal, which now gains but three points. That the rules committes s tak- Ing cognizance of present agita- against the pass was indicated v in a statement by Fred treasurer of the Harvard Athletic assoclation and member of | the committee that the question no ' doubt would come before the mid- | winter session of the rule makers.
