Raiford showed up well against Han

Ralph Edward Jordan, captain of the Yale eleven, Is an athlete who is unique In his activity and student leadership and Is starring as Yale's fullback, as he did last season. He hails from the state far famed for its rock-bound coast, commonly known as Maine, and takes up his place as a New England captain of a New England team where two other New England captains left off. All of which proves that a semblance of the old New England spirit still hovers 'round our eastern coast Jordan has been awarded two scholarships for character and general ability. He has shone In three
branches of sport football, track athletics and baseball. During his freshman year he won the shot-put in a dual meet with Princeton. He saw two years of war service with the navy in foreign waters. ' He was out of the line-up at the time "of the defeat by Iowa, but returned shortly afterward to assist the Bulldog In living down the Hawkeye victory. The Yale line, under the eagle eye of Myron Fuller, has advanced steadily and is beginning to show results that should warrant a bloody struggle with Harvard when November draws to a close.

Valparaiso defeated Depauw Friday
afternoon. 7 to 0. in a brtmani ex

Sheridan Hi and Wabash will mix in a football game, Nov. 11 at Wabash.
The date was filled by Sheridan, after it was learned that Huntington had cancelled all the remaining football games and had taken up work in basketball. Coach Grant N. Stenger, who was with Richmond last year, coaches the Wabash team.
By FRANK G. METKB It's becoming more and more obvious that the forward pass is a sad failure in the matter of football offense.
The smart coaches and nimbler-brain
ed quarter-backs are now alive to Its
fliver characteristics and are using the aerial play with decreasing rarity.
There's no more dangerous play
for a teanpto attempt than the for
ward pass; none which, nil things considered, can be reckoned as more
foolhardy. For about eight out of
every 10 passes are failures and
one of the other two usually puts the ball In the possession of the enemy.
Nine times out of ten, whatever
gain is accomplished by a successful pass Is more than offset by the losses through failure or interception.
No better illustration of the futil
ity of the forward pass as an effective ground gainer can be trotted forth than showed in the records of the Princeton-Maryland game
some Saturdays ago. The Tigers had bden drilled almost constantly in for
ward passing were supposed to be
as nearly letter perfeot in the play
as any team could be.
In tackling Maryland they met 4.
mediocre outfit; one against which
any Tiger play, or series of plays.
should have been uniformly success
ful, because of Maryland's feeble re
sistance and poor defense.
Only One Successful Princeton, a master team In for
ward pasing. tried 13 of them In that
combat and only one was a success. Ten of the other throws were incomplete fizzles, while the other two
were intercepted by Maryland players.
The total gain which the Tigers
achieved with their 13 attempts at forward passing was exactly twenty
yards. As an offset the Tigers lost
10 downs and surrendered the ball to.
tne enemy on two otner occasions.
If the Tigers had forgotten the ex
istence of the forward lass entirely
and devoted their little selves on those 13 occasions merely to line crumbling on end ekirtings. It's rea
sonable to assume that they would have
gained an average of three yards
on every play pernaps nve or six.
That would have meant a total gain
of from 39 to 78 yards, as against
20 through the use of the forward pass. And Princeton wouldn't have lost the ball twice, as it did by trying the forward pass. Facts Spoil Ideas The Idea that a successful aerial
toss usually results in a spectacular gain isniftily shattered by facts. A dip into the history of the forward pass will show that the gain usually accomplished is only the distance of the throw; that the receiver generally is dumped to the landscape before he can make a single lunge forward. The reason is plain. There's nothing really masked or tricky In the forward pass. Everyone can see the ball as It sails through the ozone. An enemy player, in the vicinity of where the ball is headed, usually can
JAY PRESENTS CUP
TO T NET LEAGUE
A hansome silver loving cup, standing over 17 Inches in height, has been presented to the Y. M. C. A. by Allen Jay, the jeweler, as a trophy for the winning team of the Y. M. C. A. Industrial backetball league, which opens Saturday, Nov. 18. According to Physical Director Peters, of the Y., the cup equals, in value and beauty, any which he has ever seen which was given for an award to the winner in an industrial league. The winner of the cup will have the name of the team engraved on it and it must be won three years to become permanent property of a team. If another team wins the cup the second year the winner of it the first time will be forced to pass it to the new champion. If a team which has won the cup fails to enter a team the succeeding season, it may keep the cup until a new champion has been crowned for the season, then the cup passes to the new winner. The cup will be known as the Allen Jay trophy of the Y Industrial basketball league.

reach the target spot about as soon as the intended receiver.
And then, he either intercepts, ln-
terreres or tackles his man. A singular feature concerning forward pass statistics Is that the bulk of the long dashes were made through
the medium of intercepted passes
na tne powerful argument against its use. Record Sprint
The record sprint as the result of a forward pass is 65 yards. Jointly
neia by Miller, of Pennsylvania and Iriggs, of Princeton. Miller made his
run against Cornell on a pass from his own quarterback. But Driggs intercepted a Dartmouth pass when accomplisheding his feat. Only about a dozen men, in the entire history of the game, have made runs beyond 40 yards on forward passes, intercepted or otherwise. And yet in those 16 years or so, about 1,000,000 forward pases have been tried. Inasmuch as only one forward pass in ten is a ground gainer, the use of it, as a vital part of attack sizes up like folly. A forward pass, attemted in a moment of great emergency at a time when a desperate long-shot gamble
for victory must be made Is a perfectly all right stunt. But to use, as a regular thing, a play which fails 90 per cent of the time, is an act reserved onlv for
leaders who are minus more or less in the matter of intelligence. Cvpyiicht 1IW1 By Kin Featnrea Syndicate. Inc.)

HAGERSTOWN OPENS BASKETBALL SEASON
HAGERSTOWN, Nov. 4. In one of the roughest and fastest games played on the local floor, Spiceland Academy basketball five defeated Hagerstown Hi netters here Friday night, 16 to 13. It was anybody's game until the last few minutes when Spiceland connected for two field goals, one of which was from far out on the floor. The Spiceland youngsters were inclined to start out exceedingly rough and this alone enabled them to build the upper edge in the game. Friday's game was the first of the season for the Hagerstown quintet and Coach Stahr has a team which will carry high throughout the season and bids fair to make a fine showing in the district tourney next spring. Doughty, Cain, Hays, Stonier and May
are all last year's men, and with fa
vorable conditions, the players will
win the majority of their games.
Spiceland seconds won the curtain-
