Schlossmann Day andN i g hton the .pass wasfootball. introduced in AmericanChanges Have Not Been SuccesfuL.. After an experience of several sea­scns, during which ·the changes havebeen given every opoprtunity to justi-fy their existence, it must be conclud-ed that they have not achieved their'end, the 'opening' of the game offootball. Such a result may be at-•tribttted to -two· distinct factors, first,the small success which as' -attendedjthe use of the forward pass; second-"ly. the penalties inflicted for unsuc­cessful attempts -to use, the pass.There seems but one. remedy if thef-orward pass is to be successfullyemployed i"; toe -<5p�iDg:.df the game-the abolition of. �1l penalties for an'�unsuccessful forward pass and ruleswhich shall allow the bail 'to remain'in play after an attempted forward­pass, whether or not the pass is com­pleted."As the football rules stand today,"it has been admitted by many critics iof the game that of the new playsmade possible by tht recent changesin the rules, the on-side kick alonehas proved its value in opening andimproving the game. Fully as spec­tacular as a punt, and demandingthe cleverest judgment and executionon the part of the man handling theball. the on-side kick is practicallythe only play which has been usedwith consistent success since the re-:vision of the rules. The abolition ofthe penalties attached to the forwardpass would probably. mean the eleva-:tion of that play even above the plane'of efficiency. spectacular--intereS't -aridgeneral use now occupied by the on­side kick.Dare Not Ute Forward Pass."The forward pass as it stands to­day. available only at the risk of aIS-yard penalty ,should its executionfail, is a play which othe right-mindedfootball general seldom dares attemptif the ball is within his own terri­tory. So, then. during no small por­tion of the average game of foot hall.,the forward pass is absolutely un­available. For one brief season 0',play. the season of 1907, the forwardpass. then under different restrictions,approached successful use, Since thattime. the play has been conspicuouslya failure and the entire trend of thegame has been to return to the ma- sand tandem plays of former days.High Grade Workmanship.

The play will be followedby an informal reception and danceten-dered them by the old membersof the club.Very little can be learned at thepresent time about the play itself.The initates appear reluctant to di­vulge any news concerning their com­ing production and even hesitated totell the name of the skit. It is un­derstood that .the play has some lo­cal 'Significance. but precisely whatperson or persons are to be satirizedhas not yet been discovered. .
