'ommy Thomas Plays "With Kalamazoo Normal School Against the University of Michigan. Add the name bf "Tommy" Thomas of East Chicago to the long list-of Lake county high school football stars who have mace good on college and university teams. East Chicago high school focthall fandom was all excited today over the reports that "Tommy" Thomas who made history at the Twin City school i had not only been successful in making ! the team at the Kalamazoo State Normal but that he had also played a 'very important part in holding the Uni- , versity of Michigan to a 13-17 score. Thomas replaced Angeil at left half in the second quarter and his accurate forward passing w.is indirectly responsible for his team's two touchdowns. Thomas' work was more than brilliant when it is considered that he had but a week of practice before the Wolverine contest. M. T. Keenan. the red-blooded manager of the East Chicago Gophers who is rrcbably one of the most enthusiastic football men in the region, is a3 happy over his protege's fame as a hoy with his first Jackknife. Y BY H. C. HAM I. TON (United, Press Staff Ccrresponaoat) NEW YORK. Oct. 12. Benny Leonard, the capable youth who holds the world's lightweight championship, wants to hold also the welterweight and mludlewt ight titles of the world. He wants to attempt what ha proved could not bo dene by men in his class. Billy Gibson, manager of the chamrion, declares once upon a time Ben nearly knocked Jim Coffey, heavyweight, stiff while the pair were boxing, in a gymnasium. He believes Benny would Le-nble to outbox Mike Gibbons and he is willing for tho youngster to go sgairst Ted Lewis, probably the most dangerous of the let for Leonard. If Benny ehould be able to Io all the things E ;ly Gibson claims for hiin he would take his place alongside the Sphinx and the Pyramids as one of the wonders of the world, for never has there been a lightweight who e.spired to such heights. Good as he is, it seems Eenny is taking in Just a little too much territory. It will be a Ion? time before the public and Leonard forget what the lightweight champion did to John Kilbane when they met In Philadelphia, shortly after Kilbane and Leonard had each beaten Freddie Welsh. Leonard gave Kilbane the worst beating of his career. Kilbano Is considered the highest type of fighter in the business, not even excepting Leonard. Hi is conceded to be just us good in his own clasj as Leonard is in the lightweight division, yet l ommril beat him.

There is no play ia football that has developed so rapidly as the forward pars. And this year it promises to be more popular more generally used than ever before. While it has been a legal form for advancing the ball ever since the powers that be decided football should be opened up end the mass formations done away with, it was not until the closing stages of the 1915 campaign that many of the big elevens employed it to any great extent. It was regarded as too risky. Then Notre Dame invaded West Point one afternoon in mldseason and used the forward pass to such good advantage that eastern coaches sat up and took notice. The end of the season of 1915 will be vividly recalled by every follower of the sport. The Army and Navy played at the polo ground. The Navy ruled almost prohibitive favorite, but tho Array, thanks to the lesson learned in the Notre Dame game, had mastered the forward pass. The Army won by the proverbial mile. Last year practically all cf the socalled larger elevens were fortified with a forward pass. They were also fortified with secondary defenses for the forward pass. This play was one of the outstanding features of the season. For a long time coaches, especially in the east, were prone to view the forward pass with skepticism. They employed it at rare intervals and generally either when their teams were so far ahead that the chance could be taken or when the 1 j ii r i ii imm i 1 1 'i i i ! i it n lam in j . t' K W K

But since the play has ben perfected It has been found to be a good scorln medium. It has been proved a good adjunct to a running attack. There 1 reason to believe that it will be ued liberally in the big games thia year. The play has been materially aided by the adoption of a rule providlcff that wrhen the receiver of a forward pass la fouled the offended side shall be ivea the ball at the point of fouling. Last year the rule piovided for a penalty of fifteen yards, and since it was seldom a successful forward pass did not net more than fifteen yards, a defending eide frequently fouled rather thau take the chance of having the play successfully executed. But with the provision in the new rule the play is expected to be more popular than ever. Offenders are likely to think twice before committing a foul. IPINE VILLAGE TO HAVE HANDS FULL Claire KTTodes, the hustling manager of the Pine Village team, was in Hammond yesterday to purchase a ball for Eli Fenter, one of his stars, fend said: "It looks like Pine Village will have its hands full next Sunday afternoon at Lafayette, when it l:nes up against the McKeespcrt Olympics, a eleven cf considerable repute in the east. The Olympics will have their full strength in the game Sunday, with Stanley Graft, one of the most brilliant backfield men in the Quaker state, in the line-up. With Berth, one of tho most daring line plunging players in Pennsylvania, as fullback. Clay as center, and Reed bolstering up the line.
