games and too much work cannot be
done to perfect it.
In throwing the ball to the runner do
not throw to the man. For example II the
signal is for pass over centre hurl the
ball to the spot where 1t is intended to
go. man is supposed TO be there to
get 1t, and II he fails the blame cannot
be placed upon the passer Use the same
system that is worked in baseball When
a man on first tries to steal second, the
catcher does not throw the ball to the
player He hurls it at the bag and the
second baseman or shortstop always is
on the job to get the ball. There is an
element of luck In all forward passes, so
1t is best to play according to signal
and not try to change 1t at the last
minute.
The passer should take as much time as
possible before throwing the ball. He
should be able to run five or ten yards
to either side before making the pass
and should practice throwing while on
the run. This gives the players on his
side more time to get into position and
also tends to make the opponents be-
lieve that an end run is about to be at
tempted.
Considerable practice should be held in
catching the forward pass. The catcher
generally gets the ball while on the run
and most of the time his back or side is
turned in front of the pigskin. Do not
attempt to catch the ball against the
body. Get 1t with the hands the same as
In basketball. II the pass is too wide,
or high for the catcher, try to touch the
ball or knock 1t to the ground so as to
prevent the opponents from getting IT,
The ends do great deal of this work
and should be able to catch the ball from
any position.
The spiral punt is the best form Of
kicking, as 1t travels farther and is more
difficult to catch. Hold the ball as far
away from the body as possible, directly
over the kicking foot. Try to get the
lace on the upper side, and hold the bali
between the open palms. Take one short
step, drop the ball and meet II when II
Is about two feet from the ground. The
foot should be expended and the leg
swing from the hip. The ball should

strike the instep of the kicking foot, and
which is swung slightly to the inside.
giving the ball a twist. Follow the punt
as much as possible with the leg, so as to
get full force into the kick.
This is the system used by George
Brooke at Pennsylvania and Glenn War
ner at the University Of Pittsburgh, and
has proved to be effective. Practice this
form as much as possible, but avoid do
ing too much work in early season. The
leg is likely to become sore and lame,
and will be serious handicap during the
remaining part of the season.
The style of punting to be used depends
upon the weather. On wet, sloppy field
1t is impossible to get any distance or
accuracy. Spirals also are out of the
question, so the best thing to do is to
kick the ball end over end. This is done
by kicking from the front of the instep
or hitting the ball from the side. On
windy days never try high spiral when
the wind is against you. Use the low
end-over-end kick, which will travel
nearly twice as far. II the wind is be-
hind the kicker, the spiral is the best
to use.

held near the end with the fingers rest
ing on the seam of the thumb below. it
is best to make the throw from above the
throwing a baseball. But remember to
keep the palm of the hand turned up
ward and the end of the ball pointed in
the direction II is to be thrown.
The spiral, or revolving of the ball, is
accomplished by letting it slip off the
fingers. 1t requires quite a little practice
before accuracy is attained, but the work
is not difficult and can be mastered. Play
ers with large hands and long fingers
have an advantage, but IL is possible to
make good passes IL the hand is of or
dinary size Fred Geig, of Swarthmore,
regarded as the best forward passer the
game has produced, could hurl the ball 80
and 60 yards, and had such control of
the ball that he could hit the cross bar
on the goal posts at a distance of 30
yards.
Constant practice means ultimate per-
fection and two or more players on the
team should take up the work At the
start II is best to get a soft ball, one
that is not blown up tightly. This will
give the thrower a chance to sink his
fingers into the pigskin, get control and
best OF all, more confidence. After a
week or so discard this ball and use the
regulation spheroid which is blown up
tightly. Practice accurate throwing first
Place a man 10 or Is yards away and

DARTMOUTH IS
CONFIDENT If
LUCK BREAKS"
Princeton Has Always Had
Good Fortune Against
the "Big Green" Team
M E T ZEN TIMES
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL
All Dartmouth men hope for when
their football team meets Princeton to-
morrow is that fair portion of the luck
of the game be vouchsafed them. Granted
that they think they have an even chance
to beat the Tigers. But If they get the
breaks of the game it will be something
new in the history of their gridiron Sc
ries. Only once in the last seven years
has Princeton decisively outplayed Dart
mouth. That was in 1872 when the Tigers
won, 22-7. Yet of the last seven games
Princeton has won five and one was a
tie.
Last year Princeton won by the score
of 1912, but the consensus of all ex-
pert opinion was that Dartmouth not
only had the better team, but, except for
few lapses, played the better football.
Dartmouth made IL first downs to Prince
toms 2, but a tumble, blocked kick
and poor judgment in another critical mo-
ment indirectly gave Princeton all her
scores. Dartmouth got hers on good
football.
Then there was a game in 1911, which
Princeton, after being outplayed Kener-
ally, won by a freak play. with the
score 90, Princeton tried a drop kick a
long way from the goal. 1t was a last
resort. The ball fell short, but as rare
luck would have II that pigsltin bounded
gently along the ground and then Just
before reaching the goal most obligingly
bounced itself hard on the turf and lit
orally hoped over the crossbar for a
goal from field. Nothing like II had ever
been seen or heard of. Dartmouth pro-
tested the goal. but IL conformed to the
rules and won the game. Such a score
was clearly contrary to the intent OF the
rule makers, and they amended the rules
the next year SO that II would be impos-
sible in the future.
All told, Princeton and Dartmouth have
played IL games, OF which Princeton has
won nine, Dartmouth two and one was
tie. The record OF the series follows:

Attempting TO pass judgment on the two
elevens now is risky business. They have
met no common opponents, and their pre-
teams. IL is the first severe test for Dart
mouth. All the Green teams games TO
date have been fairly easy. and In not
more than one instance was the opposition
strong enough 10 furnish Dartmouth a
fair test. In four games Dartmouth has
Tufts. has been able to cross her goal line.
In the first game OF the season Dart
mouth met the Massachusetts, AgricuI-
tural College and won by the score OF
1870. What makes some OF the critics
think this game worth consideration Is
the fact that this team later held Har-
ward 70 TT score. Harvard, however,
was using team made up almost entire
ly of substitutes. so the comparison may
not be worth much. after all.

make a first down.
The rules place no
restriction on how far
the ball may be
passed in any direc-
ton, so it is best TO
practice distance and
accuracy from the
start.
The best way to
throw a forward pass
is to use the Spiral"
instead of the end
ov e r-end throw W,
which is made by
holding the arm stim
and swinging from
the shoulder like a
discus thrower. Ac-
curacy and distance
are needed and the
spiral is the only safe
method to get them.
