On-side kick innovation
[edit]RE: the innovation reported by the Times, Eddie Cochems wrote the following on the on-side kick in Spalding's How to Play Foot Ball (edited by Walter Camp) before the 1907 season:
"Instead of keeping the ball in the air it should be kicked to the ground as soon as the case will permit, since the moment it touches, the whole team is on-side. The longer the kicker can delay kicking the further down the field the team can get to either recover the ball themselves or form interference for the player who is supposed to recover..."
The innovation reported by the Times and attributed to Veeder had been described in "the" national football publication months earlier.
