EBB Ti Vlwre' M6 NEW fOOTBALL PLAYS WE8TERN C0ACHE8 ORIGINATED 8EVERAL FORMATIONS. - BROUGHT OUT THE ON-SIDE KICK Qeorgo Woodruff Used That Play In 1893 Before Any Other Man . History of the Forward Pass Feature. No single Individual over perfected, alone and unaided, 'any sclonco or any art, and no ono man in tho history of the game of football Is to bo cred ited with all Its discovorios and im provements. Until recent years It was, however, quite customary In tho east to rogard all new playB and formations as hav ing originated there. This was almost as groat an error as to assume that they were all hit upon by ono man. Tnio, Yale was tho author of thb "Tackle Over" formation, and Prince ton of tho "Revolving Wedge," and Harvard of tho "Flying Wedge," 'and Pennsylvania of the "Guards Back," and flying interference, but Stagg 'at Chicago, Williams at Minnesota, Yost at Michigan and hostB of other west ern and southern coaches wore tho original Inventors of a great many Improvements, some of major and somo of minor Importance, that the east seldom had a chanco to loam about;, becauso, firstly, Eastern ex perts had few opportunities to observe football outside their own sectlomi, and, Becondly, they took no interest Ir. western and southern football oven If they had the opportunity to ob serve. Coach Must Win. I have been asked to detail what my specific share has been in the work of 'advancing and developing the present great college game It be ing assured, I lmagino, that after five years of active varsity playing and sixteen consecutive years of coaching five different institutions, I must havo been something of an originator or I could not have hoped for such suc cess as to warrant my being willing, or even allowed, to continue in tho profession for bo long. Certain it is, at any rate, tha't to continue holding good positions 'as a football coaoh one must win, and to win one must have originality, ability to invent, and to adapt one's team and game to new rules and changing conditions as readily -and as rapidly bb they appear. The Oberfln College team of 1892 was the first I ever coached, and though we won every game played, In cluding one with Michigan, I cannot claim credit for anything for that year except a double pass from tackle to half-back. If anywhere else this form of play had ever 'been sprung before then, I had neither seen nor heard of It. Previous to that time the only double pass UBed had been from -halfback to half-hack. ' While I, in common with all coaches of long experience, have Invented and experimented with scores of plays that could be recalled, I have no space to treat, or even mention any, except those that have not merely stood the test of time, but which have also been adopted by practically all teams. In 1893, while coaching the Buchtel College, I hit upon the idea of hav ing the center rush, snap or toss the ball 'directly up to the quarter, instead of rolling it back on tho ground on 000000000000000000000000Q6 RALLY TONIGHT of University -.

My method of putting tho ball in play hns been universally adoptod , na Incontrovortlbly tho best. A New Idea. At his time, too, tho Idea of tho center rush making a fake Btiap and holding tho ball under him, tight up In his crotch, first occurred to mo. Tho quarter would Jako to receive it from tho center and fnko to pass it to tho backs, who would fako out to tho open flold, whllo In reality the guard would take tho ball out of tho ten ter's hands by reaching down behind and under him, then hand it slyly to tho end-rush, who would Bhoot down tho boundary lino after tho opponents had nil boon drawn away from it to tho opon flold by follqwlng 'aftor tho fako Interference. This play was frooly copied, and was the direct fororunnor of Penn sylvania's famous delayed pass near the boundary lino In 1800, which play has boon tho forefather of 0.11 tho presont forms of delayed passes. The hidden-ball trick which tho Carlisle Indians played successfully on Harvard about 1898 or 1899 first originated with mo, I boliovo; though I tnko no groat prldo In tho matter, ab I used tho play but ono year, com ing to tho conclusion that it was a play open to question from tho stand point of puro and clean sportsman ship. I played it, however, in 1895 with my Alabama Polytechnic Institute team, and romomber that wo scored a touchdown with it against Vandor bllt University. I could traco its ap pearance at Carlisle, but it would k uninteresting and is unnecessary. Until so late as 1894 no pno haa ever heard of a man playing any dif ferent position on defense from what he played on offense; If ho was a half-back on offense that's what he played on defense, and that ended it. But In that year, while coaching at Oberlln College again, I became im pressed with the senselessness of my left half-back, a very fast hut very light man, battering himself to, pieces helping to repel tho heavy onslaughts while my full-baok a blg;vstrong, husky fellow, stood away back, prac tically doing nothing for nearly all tho time that opponents had the ball. So I put tho little fellow, at full back's place and rested him up when ever wo lost the .ball, and had my big full-back come up cIobo and help back up the line. The plan -worked like a charm and spread like Moham medanism in the eighth century only that as it was the quarter-back who was usually tho lightest man on a team; it was and Is usually he who trades places with the full-back on defense. Suggested the Pass. I have often been credited with be ing the original discoverer of tho on side kick and the forward pass, I do not think there Is any dispute as to my having been the first to sug gest the forward pass as a means of oponlng up the game, but I distinctly am not the man who first thought of an on-side kick. That .honor belongs to George Woodruff, who brought out the play about 1893. As he played it then, and as many teams playef for years afterwards, the kiok wtu. made by the quarter-back, standing in his .usual position, 'and the regular, backs all on-side were the ones dep uted to recqver'it.
