THERE are a great many school
boys interested in football at
this season of the year. and
there are quite a number of school
teams that have no regular coach, and
no one who can gev them even few
simple pointers relating to the game.
These boys are naturally ambitious
to learn and very frequently these
lads write and ask me If l will not
write something for publication that
will help them in getting better
idea of how the game should be
played
Now, football is altogether too deep
science for Correspondence"
coaching, or anything Of that sort;
it demands personal instruction and
demonstration if anything like pro-
ficiency is to be developed. Still,
there are great many little points
of value about the playing of the
game that every boy should learn.
nice little points before he comes
to college he viii be just that much
farther advanced in the game.
| am going to write some facts
about the game for the benefit of the
ambitious chaps who have no coach
and are toiling in the dark. l will
not adopt any special order or sys-
TEN in discussing these, but will treat
them just as they enter my mind.
ONE often sees an inexperienced
~ player running for dear life with
his arm wrapped around the middle
OF the ball, as though 1t was pump
kin. Pretty soon he gets a humping
hard tackle, or the ball is Jostled the
least bit, and away it rolls over the
greensward. He hasn't had a secure
grip on the thing.
Now, the only way to carry a foot
ball so 1t won't spill is the instant you
come into possession of it to tuck
one end Of 1t snugly up under your
armpit, and then place the hand Of
that arm firmly over the other end of
the ball. If you will take pains 20
lock the ball up in this manner you
will find that no matter how hard
a blow someone strikes 1t can not
dtslodge it from your grasp.
AGAIN you very frequently see a
- runner carrying the ball under
the wrong arm. Many a reader will
think to himself: why, didn't know
1t made any difference" But 1t does
and a lot of difference.
When running to the right-as a
left half running around right end
the ball should be carried under the
right arm, as then he will have his
free left hand presented to the in
side OF the field. whence most
OF the opposition tacklers are going
to come On the other hand,
when he runs to the left he should
place the ball under his left arm, so
as to have the right hand free In
other words, the ball should be placed
and carried Under the OUTSIDE arm,
whichever that is for the particular
play.
Many coaches insist that in buck
ing straight into the line the ball
should be carried over the stomach
with both hands clasped over It. Per-
sonally. l do not like this method, for,
while II may seem to hold the ball
little more surely, it certainly robs
the bucker of the use of one free
hand and arm. which is undoubtedly
very valuable weapon with which
to force an opening II he will take
the proper pains in the beginning
to get the ball up tight just where
and how l have related he will stand
very little risk Of losing ii

VIRGINIA TAKES
HOT STRUGGLE
FROM GEORGIA
Forward Pass Decides Battle Dur
ing Final Minutes Of Play.
Score Is IS to 6.
BY Innis Brown,
Famous College Football Official

II ENEWING gridiron relation
X after a lapse of some fifteen
years, the stalwarts from the
University OF Virginia got decision
by margin OF one touchdown over
the groups representing the State
University of Georgia Saturday aft
ernoon at Ponce DeLeon The score
was 10 to 6, Virginia making one goal
from touchdown in two attempts
while Georgia blew her only chance
for an additional point from this
source by failing to make a fair
catch on the punt-out.
Briefly stated the much-mooted
forward pass proved the deciding fac
tor in the game. In fact, this me-
dunn of attack really produced the
only scores OF the game, having been
directly responsible for two touch
downs, one by Virginia and one by
Georgia, and making possible the
third and deciding score for the Wis
ttors But for a swift, sharp shoot
of the ball from Gooch to White with
in the last four minutes OF play, the
Georgia team would have had tho
opportunity OF doing a JOY dance
through the streets OF the city Sat
urday night, prompted by the salts
faction Of having held the strong
Virginia team to a tie score in the
face OF what were considered big
odds.

HUMPHREYS Fooled
Wise Ones During
1918 Ball Season

One Sunday last year Bert Hum
phries,. pitching for the Reds, cracked a
bone In his right elbow, walked from
the box and did not put on his uniform
during the remainder OF the season.
Any time a pitcher has something
wrong with his elbow II is considered
serious. and HUMPHREYS is pitcher who
uses an odd motion in delivering a
curve ball--his best fooler-a motion in
which his elbow plays a prominent part,
1T looks like Bert is through for
keeps" said some OF the players. He
probably VIII never pitch another big
league ball game"
No one could tell for sure what the
chances were for HUMPHREYS to pitch
big league ball again, so Charley Muir
ply didn't think he was drawing a
the trade that gave Joe Tinker to the
Reds.

the anxious mitts OF Mr.. White, who
was some three yards short If the
line, by a Georgia tackler Ray
showed bit of real drive on the next
play by tearing through the center of
the Georgia line for the final touch
down.
Virsinians Lay for McWhortsr.
Exactly three minutes and fifty-six
seconds remained to play after this
touchdown was registered. Georgia
received the kickoff, and straightway
Paddock began a series of maneuvers
In which he was calling on every
Georgia man to give McWhorter an
opportunity of tearing into an open
field. However, the Virgtnians were
laying for everything OF such a ma
ture. no doubt figuring that Georgia
was relying solely on getting Nc
Whorter into the open at this juno
ture. Big Bob never had chance.
The opposition were doping his stuff
correctly. and they were covering UP
accordingly. The final whistle blew
with the ball in Vlrginia's possession
on Georgias 30-yard line
: From the spectators standpoint, 1t
would have been hard to figure out
| more interesting game, had some
master hand been operating the plays
from a switchboard. Both teams re-
sorted to forward passing, and with
| considerably more success than is US
ually attendant on this mode OF at
tack. Virginia scored first with a
pass. Georgia made the second mar
ker with play almost Identical and
| very near the same point. The final
| touch was added when Gooch pegged
perfect pass TO White which placed
the ball on Georgia's 3-yard line, from
where it was carried across.
In this case the word "pegged" Is
used advisedly. The Virginia quar-
| terback shot the pigslin with all the
precision of Jeems Archer cutting off
| a runner at second with one of his
| famous crouching throws. If any
| rise TO call attention to the fact that
| the bah didn't sail with speed of an
| Archer peg, we offer in rebuttal the
fact that 1t hit the bulls eye, which
is about all Mr.. Archer is ask, | to
do, when he cuts the horse hide loose
In the general direction of the mid

Furthermore, the game was re-
| splendent with nice open-field run
ming on both sides. Mayer, Landes,
| Gooch and Ray did great work at
| times for the visitors, while NC
Whorter, Logan, Paddock and Powell
showed real football ability at ad-
vancing the ball on repeated occa-
sions
| McWhorter was the main attrac-
ton from a Georgia standpoint, as
had been anticipated. Big Bob got
by for several nice gains. and on more
than one occasion would have given

Football Advice for Schoolboys
Sol
HeismanHas MANHOOD Pointers

WHENEVER you are going to pass
w or hand the ball to another play
er you should always pass 1t low.
Never toss 1t toward his face, or
even at mis- chest. The snapper should
take great pains never to hit q play
er's chest with the ball, for 1t will
Immediately rebound before he can
clap his hands on it. The proper
height is well below. the waistNline of
the man to whom you are swapping
or passing.
NEARLY all teams now use the d.
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 1t does require 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 be of a tumble or
two in the game in order to get the
increased benefit of speeding up the
entire work of the backf1eid in get
ting the ball under full Roadway.
NOW, II the play is going around the
~ 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 1t 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 IT 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
4Fl that they snap the ball sometimes
too hard. In their eagerness to get
the ball off fast they slam it back,
rate snap. Most passes should be gen.
tie, but the ball should START to
come Immediately after the signal for
1t has been given.
In swapping a long distance, like to
a punter for a kick, the snapper will
find he can make the ball travel fast
er II he will catch a firm hold of the
near end OF the ball with the fingers
and thumbs of both hands and, press
ing tightly on the ball, spin it back
with an end over end revolution. This
will carry it back rapidly and accu-
rately.
7 T Is also quite possible to snap back
long spiral for the punter by
giving It 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 spiral. However, 1t can be
done. and has been done by quite a
lot of snappers with much success.
When handling a wet ball or any
ball in the dark. always let the ball
strike your body first, then clap your
hands on It Just as it strikes. 1t is
impossible to catch a ball in your
hands with any degree OF certainty
under these conditions.
