There are a number of good plays
that can be developed from the for
ward pass, so in forming your defense
it has to be taken into consideration.
The Third Line Of Defense.
The quarterback, who is generally a
swift open-feld runner and a sure
catcher and tackler, plays about thirty
yards back on defense.
Just how far back he will play is
very important this year. -
Why's ..'- 49, - - a. -'
| Because he must be able to get to
every kicked ball in the territory not
covered by the second line of defense
before the opposing end rushers, whose
must he let the kick sail on over his
head.
Remember that the ends are on-side
the very instant the ball hits the
ground and their pdnter will probably
send his kicks low for that reason.
In placing the quarterback on de-
tense a coach must take into consider
alton that the opposing ends can usual
ly get several yards start down the
field before the ball leaves the kicker :
foot.
For this reason it will be more i'm
portant than ever before to block those
end rushers.
Thus I have outlined in general the
defense which we will have to plan tx
overcome, and incidentally any on
with half an eye can see the grea
