who attempts to play this part in fou
ball machine.
Contrary to the general opinion, thy
quarter back, while being the smalles'
man on the team, is not on account o
that at disadvantage, In fact, his size
is really help, and for that reason pig
mics are chosen to play it. He is con-
tinually mixed up and contiguous with
large men, and for that reason his quick
ness and littleness offer him rare chances
to escape their clutches and do his dead,
ly work. 1t is an example where the
two extremes meet, namely, size and
heaviness opposed to smallness and
uuickness. Under such conditions the
latter naturally has the call.

tion imposes upon one that really rem

OF continual and active think under the
hardest kind of physical exertion, and

plunge through the line with every
muscle at tension. and determination at

weakness and that strength, planning
advantageous plays, requires a peculiar
temperament, which is as hard to find as
new Klondike.
1t is brain work that tells the story in
this position, and there have been occa-
sions where men have been chosen for it
who are absolutely lacking in physical
ability, yet whose GOODNESS and judgment
and power of concentration under in
tense excitement warranted their selec-
