IV-—-/ A nLI, the talk going the rounds about the forward pass Injur ing the game of football to our way of thinking Is sort of a round the-barn way of taking a alap at Knute Roc-kne and his methods of coaching at Notre Dame. Rockne's teams always have been well drilled on the forward pass. Notre Dame took the forward pass east years ago ami showed the Atlantic roast roaches the aerial attack as it should be used. A few restrictions placed on the forward pass may not injure the game of football, but take the pass out of the game and you lose many thousands of football fans. One of the reasons why the game of football has grown#so popular within the last two or three years Is due to the for ward pass The aerial attack bad made football enectacular from the standpoint of the fan In the grand i stand and has given a lighter team a | chance to combat a heavier eleven. □ OK * SHAG! MORAN, outfielder, has been sold to the Los Angeles club of the Pacific coast league by the New York Yanks. Poor ol’ Joe Is going back to the minors from whence he came. He didn't knock the cover off the ball In the majors like he said he would. Horan topped the Western league In halting a rotiple of years ago. He sure hit the hall in this cirri it. Ho is sort of a boasting fellow, (bis man Iloran. but he could fol low up bis boasts with good bat ting retards. He socked the ball so hard in the Western league that he was sold to a club In the Interna tional league. From the Interna tional he was sold to the Yankees. We don't know whether Joe said it or not, but he was quoted as say ing that when he got in the Amer ican league he would show up "Rahr" Ruth as a heavy hitter. Now Horan has hern sold to the Los Angeles club. He should make the Angeles a valuable outfielder and hitter. UK OTn,,h' light weight, now on the Pacific -I-*- coast, A. W. O. L. from his manager*, ‘"Pat’' Boyle and Haro Reed, Is managed by his brother. Clyde, according to word received from the roast. One coast newspaper refers to Hud kins as "an ominous shadow In the path of ambitious Pacific coast light weights desirous of ruling the roost under the new 10 and 12-round law. whleh goes into effect after the first of the year." FROM ail outward appearances It looks like "Picky" Gaughan, fa miliar figure at the baseball headquarters, will manage Morrie Schlaifer for the year P*25. lie will succeed "Pat" Boyle, who haa been fairly successful raking In the fights for Morrle. While the puhlir lias been In formed that Gauglian would he Srhlaifer's manager nest year, we have been Informed by Erw ing Stal master, prominent Omaha lawryer and Srhlaifer's legal advisor, that the contract between Gaughan ami j Schlaifer has not been signed, but ! in due time will lie decorated with tile names of all three parties, Ktal inaster. Schlaifer and Gauglian. If the contract between Gaughan and Schlaifer hasn't been signed, and we have no reason to doubt Mr. Stnl master's word, It is hard telling Just what Schlaifer will do between now and the time he actually signs to he managed by Gaughan. Morrie's mind changes more often than does the weather. That the \meriran league should Ran Johnson seems out l.amlish at that. ___ i “One more word, .Nebraska."
