PART q.

When the candidates for a foot ball
team have gone through a regular course
OF training for week or ten days learn
ing the elements of the game. whoever
is In charge should have fairly good
line on the individual characteristics Of
each player. and consequently should be
able to give a good idea as to the po-
sition for which each man is best fitted.
Having learned as nearly possible the
individual abilities of the different men
he can place them in the right positions
and line up his team for the first time
for signal practice.
Then will come the selection of a code
of signals and plays which are to be used
during the season. AS has been said be-
fore. the signals settled upon should be
simplicity itself, II is rarely with a
difficult code that team can get any
speed-that Is, it is difficult to master a
complex system so that the plays can be
rnu of with much facility. And then
great judgment should be used in the
selection of plays. 1t must be remem-
bered that some teams can handle plays
that it would be impossible for others to
work successfully. When a play Is under
consideration il should never be given
to the team until after it has been con-
sidered whether or not the men have the
individual ability to carry it through. For
instance. it may be that the haifbackS
are unable to handle forward passes with
any degree Of accuracy, then it would be
unwise to use a play in which one of
these men would be on the receiving end
OF pass.
1t being remembkred that the selection
of plays is the most difficult feature with
which beginners have to contend In foot
bali, several have been drawn, and are
presented here. Each of them is from a
simple vet effective formation and all
have been used with great success by
different teams.
In figure 1 an ordinary end run and
end-over formation is illustrated. The

H. T. Anderson won an interesting
match from J. D. Morgan out Chevy
Chase way last Friday by the close score
of l up. The fact that Mr.. Anderson had
to deal with two stymies during the game
did not seem to interfere with his game
in the least. as his contour shots around
the balls brought him safe in each in
stance and caused him the capture of the
holes.
Although f. S. Jackson gave Mrs. Frai-
