Heisman Explains Twist Tackle
Pointers for Props by Coach

come down without any further argu-
ment.
II he runs with such big strides
that you can not get hold OF the far
leg, the thing to do is still to put the
shoulder to him and cut his legs out
from under him with your dive so
that he is bound to topple. anyway.
WHILE it is perfectly legitimate to
" shoulder a threatening tackier
out OF the way. or to block him OF
with your elbow even-provided you
have your hands clasped together and
keep your arms close to your, chest
these are no longer recognized in col
lege football circles as being the best
way to interfere for your runner. You
may now and then successfully Craze
by a tackler by thrusting your Shout
der. at him, but you rarely put him
down on the turf by this maneuver,
and a man not down Is a man not dis
posed OF. He will keep coming on
after your runner and will still get
him three times out of four.
The only way to dispose Of tackier
Is to put him completely out of that
particular scrimmage II you possibly
can, and this you can not even feel
hopeful about unless you put him on
the mat. Even then one Is never sure.
Now, the best and surest way to
bring a tackler to the earth Is to go
for his legs. in quite the same way
that you would go at him were he the
runner with the ball and you the
tackler. The only difference Is that
when tackling you are permitted the
use Of your hands and arms with
which to grasp the runner, while in
Interfering you dive for his legs and
cut them out from under him by the
impact OF your shoulders or body. and
keep your hands and arms out OF II.
AS you throw your body against his
legs and across his path you can use
your hands and arms by throwing
them out in front Of you to break the
force of your fall upon the ground.
II you will time the speed and d.
rectdon Of the tackler's approach COR
rectly and will leave your feet in a nat
or horizontal dive at his knees while
he Is under forward motion Zap
proaching) you will find 1t no trick
at all to knock his pins plumb away
from him and down he comes on top
Of you. He has been so thoroughly
Spilled" that he can not get up and
get after the runner again until the
gain has been made
z ITHER in tackling or interfering
IL a man should always remember
that II is legs that human beings run
with, and that II these useful mem
bers are taken away from them they
have to stop right where they are I'M
til they get them back or roller
chair is brought them. This diving
interference has the added advantage
of being so clean cut that the officials
never have any doubt as to the legiti-
macy OF that particular piece OF in
reference, so one Is much less apt to
be penalized than under other meth
DDS of interfering

7 T Is a deal easier. in teaching the
principles Of football, to expound
them to a set Of players than II
is to get them to do, or try to do, the
thing the way it is told. This Is espe-
cially true with reference to tackling,
and to twist tackling in particular,
This Is a most spectacular tackle
and 1t looks dangerous, which Is prob
ably the reason 1t is difficult to get
PLAYERS to undertake 1t in match
game. But II they would only try II
they would soon find that they are
no more~fiable to get hurt using this
tackle than any other. 1t Is performed
as follows:
IL YOU are located little to the
side of an oncoming runner. say 10
his right, you aim for the spot where
YOU would shave right in front OF him
IL you were to run across his pain;
and you run for that spot full TIT.
Just before you get there you leave
your feet. and, with your body
stretched out parallel to the ground
(your right side turned DOWN.. you
shoot yourself squarely across his
path. with your body momentarily
suspended in air and at right angles
to his. Your chest should be turned
souarely into his thighs, and as your
head shoots beyond him you thrust
out your arms and catch them around
his thighs, II the clutch Is firm your
body impetus will twirl him around
contrariwise to the hands of clock.
Now, IL the tackfer did not have a
firm hold on the legs OF the runner, 81
course his dive would carry him away
beyond the runner and he would ran
fat on the ground. But his clutch on
the legs of the runner as he goes by
saves him from a fall The runner
will naturally endeavor to retain his
upright position. and will come down
most reluctantly. This gradual
crumbling Of the runner lets the tack
Ter down gradually also. AS, how
ever, the runners forward impetus
has not, for the upper part OF his
body at least. been checked in the
slightest his body shoots on. while
the tacklers feet and the lower part
Of his legs being now stretched
squarely across the path OF the run
ner. the runner necessarily stumbles
over these and falls to earth back
downward.
THIS is a hard tackle to learn to ex-
ecute with precision and force,
but It's a mighty hard one on the
runner when you get It,
II you have to take man squarely
from the side, dive into him like a
catapult with your shoulder striking
the side of his thigh a little way
above the knee. and reach out your
arms to catch the other side OF his far
leg and pull 1t toward you. This will
have the effect of clamping his legs
together for a narrow base and he Is
bound to lose his balance at once and
