Heisman Explains Gridiron Rules
Many Get Confused Over Plays

last part of paragraph (b).
The trouble seems D come in whan
trying to fathom the meaning of the
words unless it shall have crossed
1.-THE line of scrimmage."
This simply means that even if the
opponents do not actually touch the
punted ball, if you will kick the ball
across the scrimmage line you con-
structively give them as good a chance
as you could possibly have at secur-
ing it's possession, and if neverthe-
less they do not succeed in getting 1t
the fault is their own, and they should
lose it, Still we must not forget that,
for all this, none of the punters side
can recover 1t unless he is on side,
and that we know he can only be If
he was back of the ball at the in
slant it was kicked Now, as the
punting team Is required to have ut
least seven men on the rush line the
instant the ball goes into play, and
the punter makes an eighth man,
there remain but three others of the
punter's side who can possibly be on
side to thus secure the punt, while all
of the opposing eleven men are on
side and are entitled to get the ball if
they can. Hence the chances of the
punter's side may be said to be only
about three in ten.
NOW, the thing actually works out
~ as follows: Suppose a team has
lost four yards on the first down and
eight more on the second dOwn-a to-
tai of twelve yards-which, with the
ten it originally had to go to make q
first down, means that it must now
make % yards, and that in only two
remaining downs. They recognize the
practical impossibiiity of the thing
and decide to try an inside kick,
which they do. The kick goes three
yards beyond the scrimmage line, and
as it comes down one of their three
backs, all of whom were side, man
ages to get under II and catch it. The
ball Is now still in the possession Of
the same side but it is still nineteen
yards away from the spot to which
before the kick they were required to
advance the ball If they elected to
keep il constantly in their possession
and use their four consecutive downs.
But as a matter of football law they
do now have nineteen yards yet to
gain, and 1t is not fourth down. No,
they elected to kick the ball, and to
kick it across the sCrimmage line, and
to give thereby the opponents fair
and equal chance of securing it, and
having done so, yet nevertheless re-
covered it legitimately themselves,
they are now entitled to It's posses
sion and for a first down." and with
only the uusal ten yards to go for
another first down.

OBITUARY O'CONNOR.
Patrick O'Connor was born in Tul-
lyglass, County Sligo. Ireland. in the
year 1887. and died at the home of
his son Peter. west of Bloomington,
October 9th, 1918, in his nth year.
When young man Mr.. O'Connor
left Ireland and located in England
to work. remaining in that country
several years. lie came to Cincin.
natl, Ohio, in 1867, and from there
went to Midway, Mass, in the fall
of 1867. where he worked on farm.
At Midway he married Cathrine
Naugle May 80 1870. They came to
Patch Grove. Wis, in October, 1871,
and started farming on the Michael
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1913-10-22

Naugle farm. Later they purchased
farm northeast of Bloomington, and
by hard work and good manage mer t
developed a fine farm of 24O acres
Their union was blessed with nine
children, as follows MARY (Mrs.
John Hunt Chicago, IL. Catherir 9
Mrs. Mike Trainor) Fennimore,
Wis John and Peter, Bagley, Wis. ;
Lizzie (Mrs. T. F. Carmody) Mt.
Hope, Wis. /; Matthew, Thomas, Anna
and Margaret, at home. This fine
large family was source of JOY and
comfort the old people and greatly
assisted them in developing their fine
farm.
On July 20, 1904, shortly after the
erection of beautiful new home and
the making IF plans for comic rtable
period of rest in their old days, Mrs.
O Conner died, and the husband never
recovered from the loss of his devoted
wife.
Having changed his location often
and seen many countries in his
younger days, during a portion of
which he was sailor, Mr.. O'Connor
became wise in the ways of the world.
He was a keen observer and read
much, keeping abreast of modern
thought and enterprise. A visit with
him always proved poftable, as he
possessed much knowledge not known
to the average person,
Funeral services were held October
8tb, at 10 a. M, from St. John s
Catholic church, Patch Grove, with
unusual solemnity, by Rev. M. M.
Rupprechter, assisted by Fathers F.
A. Wambold of Lancaster, as deacon,
and j. T. Quinn of Mount Hope as
sub deacon of the high mass. Father
Rupprechter also blessed the grave
and said the last prayers at the st.
John S cemetery, where the remains
of the good man were left beside his
wife. May peaceful rest be his re-
ward for giving to the world a life Of
usefulness.
