upset.
When the winds blow and the
top of the ground dries get out
with a road drag and try drag
cling the roads and you will find
it is the very thing to make good
roads, it keeps the surface smooth,
and when the rains come the wa

be beat?
Ruby, if you want to get rid
of that tired lonely Countrywide

when we get lonely and the au-
tomobiles fail to pass we can walk
out on the front porch and watch
the cars sweep past Douglasville
and see the electric and railway
cars race into Marietta. See the
great Moguls on the Seaboard and
Southern at Powder Springs, look
at the pretty red stand pipe and
church spires in Marietta, see the

monotony and relieves that coun-

Cotton sold in Marietta Wednes-

The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-10-19

the quarterback, who generally directs
the attack of the offensive eleven, has
called for plays straight through the
line. This is a grave mistake and the
coaches should impress the necessity
or hitting on or off the tackle with a
hard drive back whenever the ball is
inside of the opponents 5-yard line.
The policy of shifting a tackle and
before sending a play over him as soon
as he is in position is n of the best
signals to call in such a position but
such a procedure Ia not followed in a
great number of cases.
Even the old timers" men who were
football stars In their days, are of the
opinion that more GROUND now car be
gained under the four down rule with
rushing tactics off the tackle than
could have been gained under last
years rulings. These men, who played
in the days of the flying wedge and
mass plays, now believe old style tac-
tics Will be Just as effective as they
were in the old days.
The split interference plays. concen-
trated attacks of the tackles with a
man shifted and an occasional end run
simply for h sake OF variation are
the methods of attack which are being.
employed by the big teams up to date.
From present Indications these methods
are sure tic be used in the more inn
portant contests, in which few chances
will be taken to gain ground by use OF
the forward pass or other plays in
which the ball may have a chance of
going into the hands of h opposing
teams.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-10-19
FOOTBALL OFFENSE WILL BE
DIRECTED ON OR OFF TACKLES

Although the football season has not
reached the advanced stage of its de-
velopment, observation of the games
already played show the attack of
teams in the more important contests is
going to be directed on or of the
tackles with a variation of split inter-
ference plays through the line.
1t is plain that the coaches do not
want to take chances with forward
passes or other trick plays which may
result in the loss of the ball. With
four downs allowed to make the re-
CURED distance the offense only must
average 2 i-2 yards on each assault. As
the defense has weakened because of
the necessity of the second defensive
players lying back from ten to twenty
yards to be on the alert for forward
passes or other formations of foxy ORR
gin, 1t is possible to make grounds on
sistently against teams not properly
coached In the defensive. Contrary to
last years rules, when the members of
the defending team could play upon the
line and help check any attacks, the
offense and defense now rs more equal
lied.
As the members OF the offensive
any manner and as the entire number
of the defensive team may tackle the
man with the ball, 1t is no more than
just that the offensive team have an
equal chance Of rushing the ball across
the line after 1t has worked the ball
within striking distance OF the goal
line.
In a number of the games played,
