Nine-tenths of tho spectators who
watch football games only see what T.
done by the man who runs with the
ball II he gains ground he Is applaud
ed. and II he loses ground he is criticised.
But the man with the ball is net always
the one to watch. Those who arc called
upon TO make holes in the opposing rush
line or to provide interference In end
runs or TO drag the man with the ball
through struggling scrimmage. are
really the ones to watch with critical
ewes, for in almost every instance the art
NJ making ground depends wholly upon
the assistance provided by them.
