Who invented the forward pass, anybody think?

According to the Athlon
Answer: Former Clemson head coach Eddie Cochems in 1905
This year marks the 110th anniversary of a 1906 rule change that made the forward pass a legal play. Following 18 football - related fatalities in 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt demanded rules reform to make the game safer.
The first pass plays were called by St Louis University coach Eddie Cochems (often referred to as the "father of the forward pass") on Sept. 5, 1906.
Interesting!

Flying Wedgie. Which turned many a football player into a high soprano.
Bill invented backward passing..........of gas. They called it thwarting. It kept other players away.

Coincidentally, it was the first ever foul. Which resulted in no play afterwards

No he practiced the progressive fumble which started out as the forward fumble in the wrong direction. That was invented by " Wrong Way" Roy Riegels in the 1929 Rose Bowl.
