ENDS. IMPORTANT
in NEW FOOTBALL

With the growth 81 the modern
changes as to the relative Importance
of the several positions. Under the
is the most important man on the
team. The only possible exception is
ter must evolve the play that is tc
come. and it is up to the end rush to
put it into execution. Formerly most
of these duties fell upon the halfbacks
and the back field was considered the
most important department. If the
players were still permitted to formu
late mass plays the back field would
still be the more important. but the
end rush is the man on whom all
teams must depend for success under
the present system.
AS Il matter of fact there is no
longer such a thing as right half
back or a left halfback They are
merely members of the back field. In
the old days the back stood in line,
parallel to the line men. The fullback
was in the center and the halfbacks on
each side OF him. That is where the"
got their names of right and left half
back. AS the teams line up today the
backs stand in a row, which is at right
angles to the regular line. and. conse
uuently there is no right and left. In
the signals they are known as back l
and back 2.
There are many reasons why the end
should have superseded the halfback
as position of Importance. In the old
DAYS of mass plays the ends rarely ever
got a chance to get in the play before
the runner was tearing into the line
that is. when they were on the defen-
sive. On the offensive. the ends were
PLAYED back of the line and used as
halfbacks They often ran with the

ran who catches it by the time it hits
is hand. Wise kickers always send
the bail high in the air to give these
ends a chance. If an end is slow i'll
going down the field on punts he Is
useless.
The forward pass has also brought
he end into prominence. and he now
must be expert in the art of catching I
ball on the fly and he must have all
the qualities of halfback in running
with the ball. The forward pass can
not be executed with bad ends. The
man who receives the ball must have
had long training and he must have a
nerve Of steel
The halfback can protect the end af-
ter he starts with the ball, but it is up
to the end TO catch the pass and he
must be in position exactly at the right
moment or the whole thing will go up
in smoke.
A nice illustration of what the end
rushes can do toward winning or los
ing a football game is that game in
which Dartmouth defeated Princeton
last season. 1t was the work Of Schild-
miller and Kennedy that turned the
trick. They were on top of the ball
every time it was kicked and not once
did either of them miss the forward
pass.
The early slowness of Princeton this
year is due to the failure to secure fast
ends to take the place of such men as
