Furman’s Best Passes Caught By Richmond By SOI, METZGER FORWARD pass plays are a constant tattle between offense anti defense. It has been said with much truth that any forward pass play can be slopped ami tliut the scheme for stopping it leads to a weakness which permits an- ' othei pass io b" successful. Take the crossing ends pass play that Furman I has worked to a fare-you-wcll these past few years, u pluy identical to the one Harvard used to scree os Yu'e last fall It is as old ns the hills. The two ends start straight down for the back who are cover them. The left end 1 cuts In parallel to the line of scrimmage, the right end cuts in at p 46 de-pr-e Hue As the play starts as t'n end tun the passer turns and finds both ends in line with his vision. He can pass to the one who is free. G J E E f ‘VXj/ FURMAN’S GREAY FORWARD PASS | b Hr > < Furman worked the pass invariably to Carter, right end, the one who went down farthest. Carter gained a few yards lead over the defensive back assigned to cover him on passes by running at that back until he started to give ground, as all backs will in order to keep between the receiver and their own goal. Once a receiver passes the man covering him the defensive back is out of the play, if the pass is perfect. So, the Furman end. soon as this back gave ground, cut inside of him and gained a two or three yard lead. As their passing was perfect the iplay went for big gains and many touchdowns until Richmond College played them. Richmond came forth with a brand new defense. I Instead of the usual square box backfield formation the Richmond coach had one man. C. back up the line, placed two back at A and B, 8 yards back and a forth. I), straight back of center 10 yards. His job was to get on the inside of Furman's end. A's job was to keep on the outside of this end. 1 That gave 1) a great chance. He began by catching the passes intended for Carter and tunning them for touchdowns. Other teams applied the same defense ar.d absolutely killed the Furman attack, which relied in the mats on this play. One team even went so far as to pull its guards out of the line when this pass was thrown in order to have them make interference for theii back when he intercepted the pass.
