Keen students of football believe that the much mal igned forwird puss will come into Its own this season, and thnt more of the open style game will be exhibited than in years. If they are right, it murks the capitulation of n raft of Kastern critics mid nrlienlnrly Kastern couch es, who heretofore have gazed down with rather lofty disdain on Hint piny, Tim Knst for years has looked as kance nt the forward pass. It lias been regarded as u last ditch resort to be used only in the lust hull' or , ijiiii rtcr in it final desperate attempt to pull u gaum out of the fire. .It was loo dangerous, they contended, and it never would work against a really for midable dcfeiMO, The fir.Ht big inteisei tlonnl combat in IUKI gave 'cm a jolt. Little Notre I'liine, with a rattling good football leum ii'id no reputation, came Knsf to meet I'ncle Mum's iiruiy aggregation at i west l 'dint. What liapeued is hiutnrv now. The lloosiois sluiplv burled the Mihliers millet uu iivalauci f skilful inssiag, executed by little tins Dorias mid his mines. The nriuy was squelch eil . a.l to LI. The East ' gasped. This I wasn't football, at lenst not as shi'i was played in the Must. However it ilidn t take the uriiiv long to get 1 licp ' , to the situulion, and in the aim mil aruiv iiiid navy scrap that sumo year, the Muldiers won hands down. The victory was directly attributable to clever pass ing. Other Kastern coaches, however, haw been slow in following suit. There still seems to be a wide di versity of opinion about the merits of the spiral tossing. Its opponents say that it Is too dangerous, that under the present rules loss more often results I him gain. They ubu rise to remark that it Is too (iiick that the whole nspect of ii giumt can be changed in less than a minute, and for that reason they liken it to stock market unoculii- t.ion you 're "a millionaire one minute anil a pauper the next. He that as it way, it la uenerallv run eeded that the forward ptiss ailds n lot' to the game trom the spectator's viewpoint, Two teams, both good on de fense, vainly bucking al each other's iiloncwnll lines, ami reporting to futile end runs, doesn't appeal to the popu lace as dues the quick flight of the oval with half a dozen bovs ready to bop on Hie nee.i of the fellow who re- Sep'ti5ti&)-??"1 he will L J don the .

Too, then in always a prob- ability that someone will leni high in the air, grub the ball and make the siieetnculur run through a jagged field that never fails to bring the stands to I their feet. The opponents of the pass I obtain their argument in cases line tins that it is too dangerous. Its support ers come back with the argument that when a lenin is developed in skilful passing as was the Xotre Dame eleven in IIHO, IIIIS Hunger IS ri'ilto'ril lu unimportant, minimum. Therefore the whole question simmers down to a qnes tioii oi' developing skill in passing, and whrte tlie pass may be bad for ono team it may be the savior of another. The younger school of players that has come up since 1SH2 and IMS are better drilled in passing the hall and getting away with it aftr the catch Hum tho boys of the old school. So, if the forward pass isn't already here its coming strong, and in the opinion of most coaches it won 't be long until it will be the biggest feature team 's offense, of ifc ae afc sc ?c afl sfc c ?c sc sfc Jc vc (c l STANDING OF THE TEAMS National League.

STA TE COME MUNTER FLIES Ten Sons Is Contribution of One English Mother By Wilbur S. Forrest. I (United Press Staff Correspondent.) i London, Sept. 10. (By mail) The' mother's record (n this war is held by 1 Mrs. Mary Fury, of Loughrea, county Galway, Ireland. I She has given ten sons to the British 1 army. Five are dead in France. One! lies in a hospital recovering from wounds. One is a prisoner in Germany. One remains fighting and another is nursing a right arm shattered by a bul let. This is not all of Mrs. Fury's fight ing family. She has a daughter, Mrs. Mary Cosey, Romford, England. Mrs. Oosey'g husband is one of Rumford's 2000 fighting men at the front. Sev eral weeks ago, Mrs. Cosey supported her large family of small children with the aid of two brother-in-laws. Now they have gone to war and she is strug gling on alone. What Mrs. Mary Fury and Mrs. Mary Cosey have suffered in England's great est crisis is the story of hundreds of the working classes in the British Isles. A similar story ran be told in a smaller FAIR way from the mansions of British aris tocracy and from fhe "castles" of the middle classes. But it docs not leave the sting of poverty that confronts Mrs. Mary Fury, of County Galway and her sisters of the lower classes. She will suffer until her body is planted in Irish soil and with her, thousands of other women whose husbands have left the spade and shovel. If conscription comes in Great Britain it will not find the husbands, brothers and sons of the Mary Furys and Mary t'oseys among the "slackers." The laboring element is becoming gradually the scarcest element in Brit, ain. Cities, towns and villages alike have emptied their houses and streets. These men nre today in the majority in Northern France, Tho Dardanelles and other theatres of war. The upper and middle classes are in the hopeless num erical minority. There ig one obscure little street in Walworth, a suburb of South London, that tells the tale. This street is in the heart of the "working" locality. It is called "Trafalgar street" and is sim x x v 4$ jpc X v a MrlsSi X X . limm r exists JsCGuctr GROUNDS EARLY . TWICE ply two rows of 150 small brick houses and shops built closely together. The war office has distributed eards of honor for every family that sends a man to the army. There are 195 cards of honor in the windows of these lit tle shops and houses. Children play with cocked hats and wooden guns in the narrow street.' About half of them will never see their fathers again. They will go into the factories their fathers left as Boon as their arms are strong enough. The war has brought all British classes together in the trenches. It has brought all classes at. home down to the same plane during the war. But what is to become of the Mrs. Furys and Mrs. Coseys after the -war, is a question that is hard to answer. CHEMAWA SCHOOL IS OPEN Chemawa, Ore., Sept. 24. The sum mer vacation for the 650 pupils of the Indian school ended Monday morning, when classes wore Tesumed. Not all the pupils are in attendance, because many are engnged at farm labor; and the arrivals from the north are 'delayed by the irregularity of the boats from Alaska.
