SPEED IL as important as weight.
It's the center, guard or tackle, who.
when the ball Is snapped. can get
across that foot OF neutral space be-
tween the lines and smash his oppo-
nent before HE get started. who will
prove the most valuable. The first
impact, the jump, counts q lot.
The best linesmen take a position
similar to the starting pose OF a
Splinter. save that the feet are set
farther apart. usually with that foot
nearest the center. behind the other
about n foot. and with the weight at.
most evenly distributed between
hands and feet. This gives steadiness,
allows OF covering more ground and
OF starting in any direction with more
speed. IN
The use OF the arms Is decidedly
limited. On defense you may use them
only TO shove an opponent aside that
you may get at the man carrying the
ball-and on the offense you must
ALWAYS keep them close to your
sides.
OF course you can not strike a blow
with fst or arm. But you may strike
an opponent with your body any one
OF dozen ways. You can charge
straight into him, throw yourself side
ways, hit him from one side or the
ether, high or low, depending upon
what you want to do with him and
how he Is playing against you. This
works out during the game; what you
must learn by much practice Is, how
TO do II and do II first, to prevent get
ting II yourself. This Is where speed
counts.
In some circumstances two lines
men can work together In great style;
one may throw himself at an oppo
nent, striking him low on one side
while his partner does likewise, only
striking high on the opposite side
The result is an effective putting out
Of the way.
In the same way, on the defense
one man may draw an opponent OF,
little, to give his partner a chance tC
slip through and nail the man with the
ball, and so on in endless variety
These things players must work GU,
for themselves. meeting each situa
ton as II rises.
One general rule is that the lines
men MUST ALWAYS be on their toes
ready for the unexpected, and always
full OF pepper and action. They are
the advance guard OF attack and de
