G Where would Canadian football be,
today, if the forward pass hadn't been
adopted•in the face of ve2'y considerable
opposition from die-hards, 1n 1931? We
guess it would sail be a minor game,
with few 1f any imported stars, small
crowds, moderate enthusiasm. Certanly
lothin.g Bite the git:tetie structure which football has become
today.
Origin at the exploitation of the :forward pass as an of
Pensive measure carefully designed, is a matter of conten-
tion, not that this matters greatly to Canadians who by the
hundreds of thousands get their thrills from football today,
It has been the custom to give to the late Knute Rockne,
and Gus Dorais all the credit for developing the forward pass
into the spectacular play which Canada latter borrowed. And.
1912 was tabbed as the date.
But that isn't the way we hear the story. :into the Legend
of the Forward' Pass comes another, and less familiar name,
that of Edward B. Cochems, former coach of the St. Louis
University's football team of 190(3-7-8. He is regarded by
old timers as the No, 1 pioneer in the field of forward
passing.
Coehems, a graduate of Wiseausin University and a inem-
ber of one of its greatest teams around the turn of the cen-
tury joined the St, Louis University staff as Head coach in
1905 and the next year, when the forward pass went into legal
effect Cochems exploited the possibilities of the new offen-
sive play to the fullest.
Coehems had brought two famous players with him from
the Wisconsin squad, Bradbury Robinson and Jack Schneider,
whose feats in passing and receiving are legendary,
In the summer of 1906 Cochems took his squad to Lake
Beulah, where they -put in their entire summer studying the
new rules,
Before the season opened Robinson could throw the "pro-
jectile pass" as it was called, unbelievable distances and
Schneider, racing for the goal line, received the blimp" as
the early type of football was termed, They also had a short
pass over the line and other variations.
In their early games they completely befuddled the enemy
by first hammering the Line or running the ends to pull in
the defense, and then bewildering the foe with a shower of
forward passes. By the end of the season they had mopped up
all opposition, scoring 11 victories. In the course of their
saceesses they fired what is regarded as one of the longest
forward passes of all time, a flip that travelled 87 yards, al-
most the length of the field.

.Plain [gorse Sense
by BOB ELLIS
Here is hope that the news of
the decision of the American
government to sell farm sur-
pluses to Britain against pay-
ment in Sterling will open the
eyes of Canadian farmers to the
fact that they have been led
around in circles for the last
four years.
A Little. Worried
As late as March 5th of this
year, Rt, Honourable James G.
Gardiner, Minister of Agricul-
1111110 tare, said that "there is no
troublesome surplus of farm
products" in' Canada,
Today federal officials in Ot-
tawa are reported as "a little
worried" about the American
farm surplus disposal program,
but believe that "se far" it has
not endangered Canadian ex-
ports.
Of course, it hasn't "so far,"
because it only started. The first
deal reported is the sale of $20,-
000,000
20;000,000 worth of fine cured Am-
erican tobacco. Britain will pay
in Sterling and the American
farmer will be paid in dollars
by. the American government.
From London comes the re-
port that grain, fats, butter,
meat and meat products have
been mentioned in the negotia-
tions.
Traditional Markets
Ever since the recession in
1949 ,this columnist has argued
for the maintenance of our tra-
ditional British markets for farm
products, if Necessary by the ac-
ceptance of payments in Ster-
ling.
Only a few months ago the
Canadian Congr'ess of Labour, in
its submission to the Foreign
Trade Relations Committee of the
Senate suggested that Canada
accept Sterling for part of her
exports to the United Kingdom:
The Canadian government
would pay the exporter in dol-
lars and use the Sterling, which
would be collected in a "counter-
part" fund for its purchases -in
Britain or for materials pur-
chased under the Colombo plan
for economic development of
Southeast Asia.
Martin Levinson of the CCL
Department of International Af-
fairs said that by this method of
trading Canadian fanners could
get rid of their surpluses.
'Natural Markets
The Senate Committee pooh-
poohed these suggestions and
considered them unrealistic and
unfeasible, Shortly after the
Minister of Trade, Mr. Howe,
came) out with the opinion that
our natural markets were South
of the 49th parallel.
The Canadian Federation of
Agriculture, leaning heavily not
only on the Canadian but also
on the U.S. government, in its
brief to the same Senate Com-
mittee, submitted at the same
tine as the one of CCL, had
nothing to offer but advice to
the governments of non -dollar
countries.
These non -dollar countries
should improve their competitive
position in dollar area markets
with sound fiscal and monetary
polities. They should also earn
more dollars by expanding their
export markets in North -Am-
erica.
The CFA also counseled the
U.S. ,government as to the steps
it should take to enable the
non -dollar countries to earn
more dollars they could use for
purchases of Canadian farm
surpluses.
CFA Well Satisfied
While Mr. Gardiner was "not
getting worried about pressure

because of lost markets," which
really were not lost in his opini-
on, but merely "cancelled,"
while the Canadian Federation
of Agriculture told the minister
that they were "well satisfied
with government policy," while
our farm organizations were dis-
cussing, researching and "re-
ferring back for further study"

This is a tale M the days when
the English pound was wcrth a
frill five dollars — the days when
about the only way Sam Lang-
ford, the great heavyweight,
could get a fight was to promise
to go easy on his opponent.
a . :s
There are those — good judges
of fighters too — who maintain
that Samuel was the daddy of
them all. With this we do not
agree; but you could count on
your fingers all those that topped
him, and still have a few digits
left over, Langford, in Met, was
a bit too good for his own good.
When his name was mentioned,
other heavies got the chills; so
fights, to say nothing of muses,
were few and far between.
One day, came an offer 01 ten
thousand dollars and expenses to
battle with a character named
Iron Hague, who had been flat-
tening all the British heavy-
weights in sight. If there hadn't
been any boats running Sam and
his manager Joe Woodman would
probably have swum the Atlantic
in their eagerness to have a
crack at such a purse.
The Loudon sportsmen were
very high on Iron Hague and,
a few hours before the b o u t,
Langford heard that there was
plenty of even money to be had.
"Go and bet our end of the
purse," said Barn, "That's toe good
a chance to be missed.
Woodman promptly hied hiin to
the spot where all the sports
gathered — Crockford's prob-
ably .-- slapped down his pass-
port and identification papers and
loundly announced "I want to
het ten thousand on Langford"
A e
The bet was covered promptly
and, with the slip on wnich the
wager was recorded in his pocket,
Woodman went back to rejoin
his fighter. However, wording
to Bill Stern, he lost his way
and only got to Sam when the
latter was just about to enter
the Ping. "The dough is down,"
said Woodford gleefully, "ten
thousand at even money"
'5 5 N
Sam peeked at the slip and al-
most dropped. "Look what you
did," he yelled. "You've gone end
bet )l'IFTY thousand, and if I
should happen to 1 o s e they'll
probably hang us because we just
ain't got that sort of money."
"Fifty 'thousand — you're nuts,"
replied Woodford. "I only be(: ten
thousand."
"See for yourself," said Sala.
'Ten thousand POUNDS -- and
they say those English jails are
teugh to break out 01. Ten thou-
sand pounds OR fifty thousand
dollars of our money."
Joe Woodman tools a close look
at the ticket, saw that Sang was
right, and fell in a dead faint.
The handlers dragged hire from
the ring and tried to revive num,
And just then the gong rang
to signal the start of the quilt.
Sam shuffled to the ce,lter of
the ring in a daze. All he could
think of was the het -- and
what would happen supposing he
should break some of the English
ring rules and lose the tight on
a foul.
For three rounds Iron Vague,
who actually didn't belong in
the same ring with the black
boy, battered poor Sam all over
the place — with Langford try-
ing to figure some way out of
the dilemma. And all that time
his manager lay sprawled, just
outside the ring, dead to the
world.
Just us the third rounri was
about over, Hague cut loose with
a terrific punch to Sam's jaw.
But instead of putting Langford
to sleep it woke him out of his
daze. He suddenly realizea that
fighting was his business and that
he was in a fight; and that some-
thing should he done about it
The fourth round opened. Barn
got Hague in a clutch and whis-
pered in his ear. "I'm sorry to
do this, buster, but I got to
this worry is killing me"
With this Langford let fly one
of his sleep -producing specials.
Vague dropped as though a safe
had fallen on him. Sam took one
look at the fallen figure and then
walked over to the ropes. "Iii
there " he yelled at the still -
dazed Woodford. "You can wake
up now — we ain't going to no
jail because I've won,"
' t
And a few days later Sam and
his manager sailed for New York,
sixty thousand dollars richer for
the trip — fifty of it being theins
because Joe Woodford didn't
know the difference Letween
pounds and dollar's.
