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

its lacing or snapping it end over
end, as wafc tho mothod omployed
throughout tho East oven in 1894
yet. 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.
