FORWARD PASS HARMFUL
6poptlng Writer Suggests That Man

BT W. J. PETIUIS.
Possible changes in the rules govern -i
Ing the American game of intercollegi-
- ate football continue to agitate sport
' dom, and all manner of suggestions are
being sent In to the rules committee,
which body legislates on the game each
' year.
The intercollegiate game has many
features that have proven attractive
" and are relished greatly by the patrons
of the sport, and if too strenuous ac
tion is taken in the matter of recon
structing the game, the popularity en
Joyed is quite likely to suffer exten
sively. The public wants football, and
irwhat the public demands is usually
granted.
The present difficulties of the Amer
ican game are being dwelt upon largely
by the advocates of the Rugby and as-
aoclatlon styles, and not without some
'considerable success, for a number of
educational institutions have abolished
the American game and adopted the
English artiele. Still the Rugby and
3 association games are not altogether
the style pf game cherished by the
- American college lad.
. Takes Too Long to Learn.
The lack of popular approval to
those styles is not because of lack of
merit altogether, for the Rugby and
' association games are quite interesting
" to those who are familiar with the
- sport but the average American does
J not take the time or trouble to famil
iarize himself with a game that is es
sentially foreign, and this reason alone
is responsible for the slow Seledding into
i popularity of the two English styles of
play. The Intercollegiate style of foot
ball la the American style, and, like base
ball, it will always be the popular ool-
lege game.
That the American game is dangerous
probably enhances its attractiveness to
the younger generation, for the more
danger attached to a sport, the more pop-
-'Ular it usually becomes. Still, the danger
"attached to the intercollegiate game is, to
' a' large extent, unnecessary and can be
'eliminated to a degree. Just how this
elimination will be accomplished remains
' for the rules committee to evolve. A
number of suggestions have been offered,
' and some of these are meritorious, while
others are absolutely insufferable.
For Instance, it' Is proposed to extend
the scope of the forward pass and per-
mlt of a greater number of players han
' dling the pass. ' This is manifestly un-
- " popular, for, as "Walter Camp says, such
an attempted amelioration of the rules
' would - have the effect of making the
game a bean-bag contest, where football
" has always been a rugged game. The
publlo does not want a ping-pong sub-
stltute for football. In the opinion of
r the writer the forward pass could be
t abolished altogether, and the game much
' ' benefited thereby;
- Abolish Forward Pass, Is Urged.
This proposition has been advanced
!- before and in .view of the fact that
e more players are hurt In receiving a- for
. ward pass . than even in the mass plays,
it would seem the advisable thing to do.
For instance, it' stands to reason that a
player on extending himself to make
the catch of a ball passed several yards
through the air, will naturally be caught
in a possible position which hardly per
, mits him to guard himself against the
. shock of impact from a hard tackle, and
: most receivers of forward passes are
tackled lust about the time they receive
a the oval. A man caught in such a posi
tion Is absolutely unable to defend him
self. He Is unbalanced and with his arms
extended Is unable to ward off the as-
sault, and the natural consequence is an
f injury, sometimes slight but often severe,
and while not incapacitating him at the
Instant, eventually results in his retire
ment from the game.
By doing away with the forward pass,
even though Its present form lends a
spectacular view to the game, the crip
pling of players made possible in this
play Is done away with. A football
player, running with the ball. Is mucn
less apt to sustain an Injury through
being tackled hard, than is the case in
receiving one of these forward passes.
Injured Players Should Go Out.
Referring to Cadet Byrne again, it Is
generally acknowledged that this unfort
unate young man has been kept in the
game when he was all but exhausted by
-,. his earlier exertions, and was therefore
so weaknened that his constitution could
not withstand a heavy assault, and being
so weak he could not prepare himself for
the shock which fractured his spinal
column and resulted in his death. On
r this account retention of a player in the
game after he has been Injured, even
. though but slightly, should be made a
rule calling for a penalty, and should be
left to the officials of the game to,decide.
Oftentimes a player will absolutely re
fuse to be taken out of a game, and in
some Instances players hardly able to
a stand , have begged their captains so
hard to be kept in that he, being only
human, has acquiesced. This alone is
responsible for a large number of per
manent Injuries sustained in football,
. and by making the substitute rule so
strong the rules committee can com-
pel. the expulsion of any and all play
ers suffering injuries likely to inca-
: pacitate them from defending them
selves. -
No 176 Leaping on Man Down.
Another practice that should be
guarded against, and while covered to
an extent in the present rules, is the
piling up of players on the man who
is down. Frequently a player in ruling
with the ball is either tripped or
; thrown, and immediately several mem
bers of the opposing team leap upon
him.
Th only reason for such action on
the .part of the defensive players is to
prevent the runner from advancing the
'.. ball any farther. Whenever such a
player falls' in carrying the ball. It
t. should be scored as. a down when two
or . more players of the opposing team
are rushing towards him. In several of
the games played here this season the
need of such rule was frequently dem
onstrated, for some games were de
layed several minutes on several different-occasions,
simply because the run
'" ner with the ball was temporarily
. knocked out through the opposing
i ,tacklers leaping on his prostrate body.
Such tactics can be rendered absolute
ly unnecessary by the rules calling for
downs when the runner with, the ball
falls, -whether tackled or about to be
tackled. This rule should be framed
on the order of the fair catch rule,
which prevents the tackling of a play
er who signals his intention of catch
ing a punt.
It is up to the rules committee to
remedy the-defects, and-this committee!

In a fast and exciting game of basket

the score of 14 to 3.

FIERCE BOUTS PROMISED
STRANGLE! SMITH FIT TO PAT I
OFF OLD SCORE.
Strangle and Toe Holds Barred,
Match Will Be One of Best
Ever Seen Here.
Tomorrow night's big wrestling match
in Merrill's Hall between Eddie O'Connell
and Strangier smith promises to be the
wrestling sensation of the year. When
the men wreBtled a year ago last October
O'Connell subjected Smith to the worst
roughing he ever had received, and now
that he is In better condition and is a
more thorough student of the game .he
promises to retaliate in full.
Smith has been training faithfully."
When he traveled with Charley Olson,
the light heavyweight champion of the
world, and with John Berg, and other
"brainy" wrestlers he absorbed more
about the wrestling game than any other
welterweight who ever came out of the
Northwest. He is far different from the
man who faced O'Connell a year ago.
On form the champion has "nothing on"
him In any phase of the game.
With the stipulation that the strangle
hold, by which Smith became famous,
and the toe hold, which brought to O'Con
nell most of his fame, be barred from
the match. It should be one of the best
exhibitions that was ever brought off in
Portland.
Should Smith defeat O'Connell, he will
be convlnoed that he has enough class
to travel in the fastest company in the
world, and will make plans to leave for
Chicago and seek matches in the center
of wrestling activity.
The first three rows around the rlng
side will be reserved. The other ringside
seats will be left open to those who have
plenty of leisure time. Reports from Schil
ler's and Cadwell's are that the advance
sale will eclipse that of any other wrest
ling match held In Portland. An inter
esting preliminary will be staged between
two clever young wrestlers. The main
event will be refereed by Herbert Green

As the bowling tournament at the Port
land Heights Club progresses the mem
bers are becoming more proficient ' on the
alleys, and the scores are gradually
climbing up. M. H Lamond, scratch
man in the tournament, will have to do
some hustling to get in with the top
notchers. Counting the games rolled last night,
Ben Trenkman leads in the tournament
with an average of 176 for ten games.
Lamond, from scratch, is now in sixth
position. He bad a bad time Friday
night, falling down considerable in his
first game, getting only 126 pins. Among
the veteran bowlers. Judge H. H. North
up is showing up In excellent form, and
In his first game on Friday rolled 161.
Captain Veysey Is another -promising vet

MOUNT ANGEL BEATS CHEMAWA
Indians Brace Up In Vain in Second
Half at Basketball. '
CHEMAWA, Or, Dec 11. (Special.)
The Chemawa basketball team played
the team from Mount Angel College
this afternoon on the Chemawa floor
and was defeated by a soore of 23 to
17. The Mount Angel team showed
better teamwork throughout the game
and outplayed the Indians in' the first
half, the half ending with the score
16 to 8 in their ravor. . ,
In the second half the Indians took
a brace, and, while they made eight
points to the Mount Angers seven, the
splendid teamwork of the latter won
them the game. Knapp and Corgiet
starred for them. The Indians had no
stars.
The Indian forwards were out of
position nearly the entire game and
the - result is largely attributable to
that fact.
The line-up was as follows:

' Contest Will Be Spirited.
Active practice among . the various in
terscholastic basketball squads is under,
way, and with an unusually large num
ber of candidates and a greater interest
in the game than usual, both by players
and fans, the coming season bids fair to
be highly successful.
From 20 to 36 aspiring tossers are turn
ing out for each one of the several
squads. The Portland Academy boys are
practicing in their own gym, and likewise
the Columbia University players. - The
Lincoln Highs are using the spacious
Y. M. C. A. gym. The Allen Preps, are
doing their work in Ringler's gymnasium.
The Washington High squad used the
Ringler gym last season, but is endeavor
ing now to secure use of the Y. M. C. A.
Hall or the Multnomah gymnasium.
The league games will start January
36, with a game between Lincoln High
School and Portland Academy. There
will be one more week for practice be
fore the holidays and about four weeks
after school opens again. All of the
teams have scheduled outside games for
the interim between now and the start
of the season proper, and it is expected"
they will all be in good form for the
championship contests.
Last season Lincoln High and Columbia
tied for first place, when each won four
games and lost one. The standing of the
interscholastic teams last season was as
follows :

Although at the foot of the percentage
column last year, the Portland Academy
boys expect to land something this time,
as all of their men are back- and they
have excellent new material. Norrls,
Cobb, Wilson, Cookingham, Smith . and
Brace, of last year's-team, -are back, and
among the promising new men are Run
yan, Bean, Condon, Bachelder and Car
dinel. Runyan was the star 165-pound
Lincoln High center last year.
Norrls, the captain, who it was thought
might be kept out of the game on ac
count of bis injured ankle, is now in con
dition and probably will play" at center.
Norrls Is also a sprinter, high Jumper
and pole vaulter of considerable fame,
He weighs 135 pounds. Kietzer, who last
year coached the victorious Newberg
High School team, will have charge of
the P. A. bunch this season. . Cobb, the
manager, has scheduled outside games
with Pacific University, Newberg High
School end Mount Angel College.
The Allen Prep, boys have been prac
ticing since early last Fall, and at pres
ent have about the fastest team lit the
league. The team Is practically picked for
the season and consists of the following:
Center, Captain Shaver and Harr" for
wards, Compton Hayes, and Burgnaro;
guards, Gearhart, Cook and Smyth. Sari
Crabbe, manager, is negotiating for
games with Newberg High, Oregon City
High, Hood River High and The Dalles

Harvey Lindsey, of the Washington
III i . -- 1 r v-.v - : , ill
team, this season is captain because he
is the only regular man back. Lindsey
is a guard and has had three years of
basketball experience. Coach Fenster
macher expects this year to draw his
basketball material from the . football
team. About 25 men are expected to turn
out tomorrow for practice, and real work
will begin. Three likely candidates are
Herbert George, who played quarter part
of the time last season; Appleton, re
cently from the Boise High School, and
Jackson, a track man.
McAllen, captain of the Columbia team,
has bad two years experience in basket
ball. He is a fast man, weighing about
135 pounds, and is a football player ot
some note. The Columbia lads are prac
ticing hard every night, and Coach Cal
lierate expects to have one of the strong
est teams in the league. In their first
practice game, of the season last Thurs
day night against the Multnomah team,
they lost by an overwhelming score, but
displayed the makings of a good team.
The team will be as follows:, subject to
change: Clancey and Cochrane, for
wards; Reed, center; Woo drum and Fitz
gerald, guards.
Prospects are again bright for the Lin
coln High School, champion last year.
Five teams are practicing every night
and the enthusiasm is great. . Peterson,
Vosper and Welch are the only old men
back, but there is good new material, in
cluding Coriander, Venstrand, Rice and
Mensinger. Dave Welch is captain, and
Mr. Lee, assistant physical' director of
the T. M. C. A., is coach.
GAJ S MAY COACH JOHNSOS
Negro Picks His Compatriot to "Win.
Prophesies Long Fight.
It is believed in New York that Joe
Gans, former lightweight champion, will
be chief trainer for Jack Johnson, when
the big negro starts his bard work for the
mill with Jeffries.- Gans is also likely to
be the chief second at the ringside. The
reports that be was dying of consumption
are a joke. He was about town as lively
as a cricket and looking every bit as
good as when he fought Nelson.
. ''Johnson will win ,that fight," he de
clared, "but it will be a hummer and
will be a long one. Jack is the cleverest
big man in the world, and a harder hit
ter than any man who has ever- fought
for the title, with the possible exception
of Bob Fltzslmmons, who had a hand like
a ham. I think he will tire Jeffries out,
and after the thirtieth round be will have
the big -bollermaker at his mercy."
Billy Roche, the San Francisco referee,
looks for the scrap to go the limit. Nei
ther man is aggressive, be declared, and
it Js not likely, either will take a chance.
They will probably stall for 30 rounds -"ad
than fight bard for tbe remainder."

With the fourth series of games in the
City Indoor Baseball Leapie finished, the
Honeyman Hardware team is in the lead,
having- -won every one of Its games by a
handsome margin. The Dllworth Derbies
advanced to second place by defeating the
T. M., C. A.8 Friday night.
The gilt-edged twirling of Henderson,
combined with the almost faultless field-r
inr .of his team-mates have won the
Honeymans1 their games and at present it
looks as though, they -will clinch the
championship. In the game last Wednes-
day with the Columbias the Honeyman J
boys played without an error and Hender
son allowed but eight hits and fanned 14.
Backus, generally a hard man to find,
and reputed the steadiest and most con
sistent twlrler in the league, has been
easy for .the Honeyman team In both
games he has pitched against them.
The games to be played this week are
follows-: Monday, Honeymans vs. Dill-
worth Derbies, Ringler's gymnasium;
Wednesday, Columbias vs. Gold Seals,
Ringler's gymnasium: Friday, T. M. C. A.
vs. Fullers. Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. The '
games all commence at 8:30 o'clock, aid (
there is no admission charge.
"Washburn to "Umpire.
Ray Washburn has been appointed as
official umpire to assist the veteran,
Charlie Mackle. Washburn's work as
arbitrator of the Coos Bay League was so
satisfactory that Secretary Donnerberg,
of the Portland organization, concluded
to adopt him.
The ignorance of many of the players in
regard to playing rules is a source of con
siderable annoyance to the officials. The
impression among some is that the
umpires- are mere ornaments. The decree
has gone out from the management of
the league that the umpires from now on
will order obstreporous ones from the
game.
George Pembroke, the Honeyman whirl
wind left shortstop haa coined the expres
sion. "I love my assists, but - Oh, you
base hita!" Magee at right short works
well with Pembroke - and always plays
consistently. Both lads are hard slug
gers. . .
Indoor baseball Is becoming more popu
lar as ' the season progresses. Record
breaking crowds- attended the games
during the past .week, particularly on
Wednesday night, when Ringler's gym
was a bedlam.
Elmore McKenzie, of the Derbies, has
recovered his lost control and is pitch
ing in his former clever style.
Ed Shockley blew into the arena the
other evening and was signed Imme
diately by the Honeyman manager to
an Infield position. Shockley played a
great shortstop for the C. Y. M. C. team
last season. M. Beagle has also signed
with the hardware dealers.
Jack McConnell Is in a class by him
self when it comes to throwing out
ambitious baserunners. This quiet, un
assuming catcher of the Columbias nab
bed four men last week.
Harry K. Smith, president of the
league, has departed for a trip through
Washington and Idaho in the , interest
of his business.
C. Barrel! has been elected captain
of the ilworth Derbies, to succeed
McKenzie, who manages the fast Hast
Side nine. Barrell Is a favorite with
T. T. T. -devotees, and has the good-will
of the fans. .
Hewitt, Niece and Keyes, of the Y. M.
C. A. nine, are a trio of crack players.
Catcher Niece's work In particular Is
always of the stellar variety, and he is
a. great Inspiration to his teammates.
Pretty Game In Store.
A pretty game is in store for the
fans tomorrow evening in the Ringler
gym., when the Dllworth Derbies will
oppose their ancient rivals, the Honey
man Hardware Company. Both teams
are evenly matched. Wednesday's
game between the Gold Seals and the
Columbias should prove interesting, as
well as the contest for the cellar posi
tion between the W. P. Fuller and Y.
M. C. A. teams next Friday night.
Manager Gene Flint, ot the W. P. Full
ers, is anxious to communicate with a
competent indoor pitcher. Beard- and
Daisy are doing well considering their In
experience, but are not strong enough to
win games.
Bill Daugherty, the hustling manager
of the Columbia Hardware nine, has
signed Roy Phillips, lately of the Honey
man Club, to till an outfield position.
Phillips is a timely hitter.
Last Wednesday night, Todd met one
of Henderson's curves for a smashing
drive that came In contact with Ed
Magee's face. The blow completely dazed
the agile lnflelder and he collapsed, but
revived In the dressing-room and finished
the game, to the delight of his many ad
mirers In the balcony.
Paul Irwin and G. Causey are battling
for honors at first base. Both men are
consistent players and their fielding has
finish. Gene Flint, of the Fullers, Is rap
idly becoming one of the classiest players
in the league.
Mike Sweeney and Pat McHale probably
will throw against the Derbies tomorrow
evening, while the reliable Henderson will
be present for emergencies. Hugh Mc
Hale will attend to the catching. Beagle
going to second base.
George Robinson and Clark Hendrick
are the Fullers mainstays In the Infield.
and are developing Into fast material. Ray
Snyder Is decidedly nifty In wielding the
willow for the bristle distributers.
Ed Morton, Williams and Bauer com
prise a remarkable hitting trio on the
Gold Seals team. The two Davises are
also heavy sluggers.
Credit must be given Captain Lang
ford, of the Columbias, in getting results
from practically a new team. Langford
is always in the game. . (
