Lateral Pass On Way Out; Thrilling But Dangerous By DREW MlFII,FTON HEW YORK. Oct. The lateral pass, two years ago the people' choice as football's moat exciting bit nation s stadia. Prom the outset the coaches looked on the lateral with suspicion, Even two years ago, when fans and writers were loudly hailing the "new type of offense," the men who shape the football styles with a conservat ism worthy of a senator from Vermont were opposed to the play's general The lateral's two moat Inspired pro tagonists, Handy and Kerr of Colgate and Francis Schmidt of Ohio Btate, now are casting sheep's eyes at the old sfimdbys and foregoing the quick transfer In the open field, "The lateral pass Is s nice play to watch, but dangerous," says Lou Lit tle, Columbia maestro. "DovctAtled In to a balanced offense It Is a factor, but not an Important one In advanc ing the ball" Hooks Mylln, mentor of LaFayette'e. unbeaten, untied and unacored eleven backs Lou up. "It's a great piny to see done well, but often It la cost ly to the offensive team." A survey of 30 of Saturday's major games shows not one of the 40 teams resorting to lateral ledgermen jOT scoring plays. But efforts to hide the bsll and the point of attack have been redoubled, the reports show. Anlnnrai nrl fatrn tnlnhnri ti.rlat double and fake wverees abound andf the forward pass never has been em ployed with greater profligacy. Mai Stevens, N.Y.U. coach, offers a solution for th.e play's gradual di minuendo. "It's too hard to teach when a coach doesn't have unlimited time to work with his players. Then, too, It takes a mature player to vine It. Youngsters are liable to tighten up when trying It and they have to lateral before contact Is made to be effective." . j.

Medford-Ashland football rivalry will bla locally for the first time this year Thursday afternoon at the hlh achool atadlum when Coach Oeorge Harrington sends his Medford Junior high team against the Ashland Juniors of Coach Earl Rogers. Kick off will be at 3:49 sharp. In a previous meeting, the Llthlana defeated the Medford Juniors, 12-0, at Ashland, by recovering two fumbled punts and driving to touchdowns.

Even In Weight Both aggregations stack up about the same In average weight, tipping the scales at 140 pounds. Ashland's attack features a light, flashy back field, with Medford depending almost wholly on the triple-threat ability of Louis Thurman, lone returning letter man from laat yeara team. Coach Harrington, directing Med ford Junior high athletics for the first time this year, said yesterday that this gams may be the last of the sea son for his charges. Because of the dearth of opponents In their class, the Junior grldders have had a hard time scheduling games and may end their season against Ashland. j Lineups Announced Coach Harrington, after a tough workout yesterday afternoon, aald his starting lineup would consist of Curt Hopkins and Ray Ltllle at the ends. Jack Florey and Jack Keaveny at the tackles, Oliver Scow and Andy Jones at the guards, and Clark Jones at center. In the backfleld.

(P) Profes sional football, you will be eager to know, Is doing all right for itself. It is growing up fast, the money la roiling in and the performers aren't bruisers any more like they used to be. They're gentlemen, on and off the field. They are expecting 40,000 fans out to the polo grounds next Sunday to watch a shooting match between the Chicago Bears, undefeated leaders of the western division of the National league, and the New York Giants, who head the eastern sector. More Interest There Is a lot more Interest here thsn the strictly collegiate grid fan would Imagine. The Beara are coming with a powerful, veteran team, headed by Bronko Nagurskl, who used to murder them for Minnesota. The Of ants are a young team, full of vim and vinegar, with a new "left forma tion" that has rival coaches moaning nights. Their tussle looks like it might set tle the championship. In the meantime, the pro game It self Is worth looking over. It's chang ed mightily In recent years. Ned Irish, who turns out publicity for the Giants, watched it happen. "We'll outdraw any of the New York college teams this year," said Ned. "We've averaged about 25.000 at tendance for five games so far, and with a break In the weather we'll do better from here on." This means that players steadily are getting better salaries, he explained. The average lineman now gets close to 62.000 a season, and the backs around 63,800. Stars like Nagurakl, Cliff Battles and Sammy Baugh of Washington, Leemans of the Giants and Dutch Clark of Detroit run up $5,000 and 66.000. Attractive "Dough1 "That's attractive dough for a kid Just coming out of school," Irish ob served. "More and more of them the better type are beginning to hope for pro contracts to give them financial head-starts. The result Is that the playing personnel has chang ed almost completely, we're getting the 'amateur type now Instead of the 'professional.'. If you see what I mean." What he had In mind was that the Giants this year cleaned house, re leasing the whole gang of tough, ma ture men who had been In there for years and signing up a field of bright eyed youngsters with campus grass still In their ears. "You'll see more of that," Irish predicted. "Professional careers are going to get shorter and shorter, but better paid." Punch Is Winner In Cesarewitch Stakes N7WM A RKET, England, Oct. 37 Punch won the Cesarewitch stakes over two miles and a quarter here today. It was the 99th running of the classic. Pet was second and Solar Bear third. The winning colt is owned by T. Westhed. Fet, owned by Mrs. Sidney Freeman, was second last year. Thirty one horses ran. Two American entries, Idaho, own ed by A.

Billy BaleD Sayi: Hobson's Value As U. of 0. Coach Given Recognition Howard Hobson, one swell egg and one grand coach, la undoubtedly a happy fellow today. It only amount ed to $300 a year, the salary boost he received yester day by Univer sity of Oregon bigwigs, but the thought behind that lift to pay couldn't be pur chased with thousands of dol lars. All Is not gravy in the coaching racket, the tough est, most highly competitive pro fession in the world. In fact, and a&x any men Wily flules-i tor, very llttla of anything about It la gravy. The alumni wolves are always too close behind, the strain of turn ing out a winning team is too severe to develop much happiness among the guys who earn their bread and butter by teaching dumb athletes this and that. Not that Hobby was on the spot, nor in danger of losing his job. Not now, anyway, although there was some agitation talk in the spring of 1936 in regards to the possibility of Ills not being offered another one year contract. Blessed with some sup posedly super-human basketball ma terial that followed him up from Southern Oregon Normal school, Hob by failed to win the championship, and as usual, the wolf cry was heard, though It wasn't extra loud. How ever, he turned out a conference base ball championship team that spring to silence his critics, and since then everything has been peaceful, so far as we know. It's not the tangible dollars and cents vslue placed on him by univer sity heads that should make Hobby a happy man today, but the realization that he has done his Job well enough to be wanted around Eugene; that the alumni wolves are no longer bowling for his scalp and . that he is completely off the spot. If you don't think that Impor tant, name more than three foot ball coaches on the Pacific coast who are assured of their posi tions and who will get salary In creases this year. Phelan? Stln er? Calllson? Thornhill? Spauld lng? All are sitting on kegs of dynamite liable to explode them right out Into the cruel world without a team to coach. Only Stub AHI.'on at California, Jones at t'SC and llotllngsberry at WSC are assured of their Jobs, and Al lison will be the only one to get a raise In pay. If any. Of course, being head man In bas ketball and baseball only, Hobby won't ever be the target for the brand of savage yowling aimed at pigskin mentors. The principle la the same, however. Lesser coaching lights can become wolf meat Just as easily as can high-powered grid teachers. Hobby, who haa thousands of friends In southern Oregon, mostly In WELL DRILLING New Equipment.
