"HERE are 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 il | will not
write something for publication that
will help them in getting a better
idea of how the game should be
played.
Now. football is altogether too deep
science for correspondence"
coaching, or anything of that sort;
IL demands personal instruction and
demonstration If anything like pro-
ficiency is to be developed. Still,
there are a great many little points
of value about the playing of the
game that every boy should learn.
Then, too, if he understands these
nice little points before he comes
TO college he will be just that much
farther advanced in the game,

Football Advice for Schoolboys
HeismanHas ManyGood Pointers

WHENEVER you are going 10 pass
w or hand the ball to another play
err you should always pass 1t low
Never toss il toward his face. or
even at mis- chest. The snapper should
take great pains never to hit play
er's chest with the ball, for 1t Will
Immediately rebound before he can
clap his hands on il. The proper
height Is we'll below the waist line OF
the man to whom you are swapping
or passing.
NEARLY all teams now use the dl-
rect snap whenever an end run IS
to be pulled Off but many prefer to
use the quarterback for q buck into
the line. as they find 1t somewhat
safer. While il does require q supe-
rior snapper to pass the ball directly
to the runner my idea is to make
that snapper practice until he can DO
1t 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 backtield In get
ting the ball under fun Roadway.
NOV. II the play is going around the
ball somewhat ahead of the runner
that is, in the direction he is going
to go, for this is nearly always
rather long pass, and it viii take an
appreciable interval of time for the
bail to traverse the distance between
the snapper and the runner, In cases
Of this kind the runner himself is
moving at rapid clip, and If you
snap 1t directly at where he was
standing when the ball was called for
you viii find that he has vacated that
spot
MY observation OF most snappers is
A'A that they snap the ball sometimes
too hard In their eagerneSs to get
the ball off fast they slam ii back
with the result that it is not an accu-
rate snap. Most passes should be gem
tie, but the ball should START to
come Immediately after the signal for
ii has been given.
In swapping a long distance like to
n punter for n kick, the snapper will
find he can make the ball travel fast
err il 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 il back
with an end over end revolution. This
VIII carry It back rapidly and aCcu-
rately.
TT is also quite possible to snap back
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 scrinmage is not conducive TO
the best kind OF a hold for the execu-
| tion of a spiral. However, it can be
done. and has been done by quite a
| lot of snappers with much success.
| When handling wet bali or any
| ball in the dark, always let the ball
strike your body first, then clap your
/ hands on ii just as 1t strikes. 1t IS
J impossible to catch ball in your
! hands with any degree of certainty
under these conditions

Bangor, Me, July 29.-Plant scien-
fists of the world will visit the potato
fields of Maine. New York, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Minnesota. Nebraska, Colo
RADIO, Wyoming. Utah, Idaho. Wash
ington, Oregon and California to dis
cover Il cure for the ills from which
this great American crop is suffering.
The party will make Il start from
this city on Aug. l and will finish the
work in San Francisco about Oct. 1.
The entire time of the party will be
taken up with study of the diseases
which have recently attacked the pota-
to plant. After the return east Il re-
port will be made to the United States
government and to each Of the states
visited concerning the result of the
survey.
Among those who will take part in
this unique investigation will be DR..
Q. Opel Of the Imperial Institute of
Agriculture and Forestry. Berlin. and
DR.. H. w. WOllenvOber. also of Ger
many, who are authorities on plant
diseases. Several scientists have come
from Paris and London, while Il large
number of American representatives of
the economic and cultural side of the
potato industry will participate, besides
leading professors in plant pathology
and specialists of the federal bureau
Of plant industry.
One car of the special train on which
the party will travel will be fitted as
IL laboratory. with microscopes and
other necessary instruments INC facili-
ties for chemical analysis. \ corps of
photographers will accompany the
party.
According to T.. II. Grubb. a widely
known potato grower of Colorado, the
crop situation is very serious. Tn
known diseases have attacked the
plant IN almost every part Of the coun-
try, the germs having becn imported,
it is thought. with some foreign tubers.
In Utah. which is one of the great po-
tato growing states, the loss Ivy disease
has been so heavy that the state crop
has not been large enough to supply
home needs. The dreaded "leaf roll,'
which has caused heavy damage in
Colorado and Nebraska, has now made
its appearance in Maine and New
York. Several diseases new to sci
ence have made simultaneous attacks
upon potato plants in Europe and
America, and it is hoped that the com-
ing gathering of experts will be able
to devise remedies for these ills.
