Football Advice for Schoolboys
HeismanHas ManyGood Pointers

WHENEVER you are going TO pass
w or hand the ball to another play
er you should always pass 1t low
Never toss it toward his face, or
even at mis- chest. The snapper should
take great palms never to hit a play
er's chest with the ball, for it will
Immediately rebound before he can
clap his hands on it, The proper
height is well below the waist line of
the man to whom YOU ARE swapping
or passing
NEARLY all teams now use the di-
~ rect snap whenever an end run is
to be pulled off; but many prefer to
use the quarterback for a buck into
the line. as they find 1t somewhat
safer. While it does require a supe-
rior snapper to pass the ball directly
to the runner my idea is to make
that snapper practice until he can do
it safely for ALL plays. In other
words, | am willing to take what add
ed risk there may he of a tumble or
two in the game in order to get the
increased benefit of speeding up the
entire work of the backtield in get
ting the BAH under fun Roadway.
NOV if the play is going around the
4 end the snapper should snap the
ball somewhat ahead of the runner
that is in the direction he is going
to GO. for this is nearly always a
rather long pass. and it will take an
appreCiable interval of time for the
ball to traverse the distance between
the snapper and the runner. In cases
of this kind the runner himself is
moving at a rapid clip, and If you
snap il directly at where he was
standing when the ball was called for
you will find that he has vacated that
spot.
MY observation OF most snappers is
w that they snap the ball sometimes
too hard In their eagerness to get
the ball off fast they slam. it back,
with the result that it is nof@an accu-
rate snap. Most passes should be gem
tie but the ball should START to
come Immediately after the signal for
it has been given.
In swapping a long distance. like to
punter for a kick, the snapper will
find he can make the bah travel fast
er If he will catch a firm hold vt the
near end of the ball with the fingers
and thumbs of both hands and, press
ing tightly on the ball. spin IL back
with an end over end revolution This
viii carry it back rapidly and accu-
rately.
| T is also quite possible to snap back
a long spiral for the punter by
giving ii a revolution about its long
axis, the same as when forward pass
ing This is not SO easy to do as in
ordinary forward passing. for its re-
quired position on the ground to start
the scrimmage is not conducive to
the best kind of a hold for the execu-
ton Of a spiral. However, il can he
done, and has been done by quite
lot of snappers with much success
When handling wet bali or any
bah in the dark. always let the ball
strike your body first, then clap your
hands on it just as II strikes II is
impossible 10 catch BAH in your
hands with any degree of certainty

Junction City. Aug. Mrs. Chas
Lichtenhan. wife OF a we'll known
Geary county farmer. raised ducks
this year as side issue. and will
probably make this permanent
industry, as she was very success
ful. She raised flock OF ninety
ducks and this week concluded that
they were ready for the market.
Mrs. Lichtenhan thought that she
might have trouble In disposing of
so many spring ducks. but an ad-
vertisement brought instant results
and within day she had sold them
all at big prices, One man took
thirty-five and many others ordered
a half dozen.
The ducks put on weight faster
than spring chickens and are no
