Signals OF Vast
Importance In
Football Playing

Following is an article on football
signals by Victor L. Littig, well known
coach OF Davenport:
Sienals-Eyery well coached foot
ball team uses signals OF some sort to
tell who shall take the ball and what
shall be done with II: sometimes to
carry it. sometimes TO kick It. some
times to pass IT, The whole team de-
'pends upon these signals being carried
out, and Only in very rare cases are
signals disobeyed. It is Tery brasny
player who knows when it Is bese 10
disobey.
The starting signal. the signal which
tells when to snap the bah. Is Al In
portant one. II must be so well guard
ed that It can not be learned by the
other side. Uspally block signal
goes with 1t so It may be changed or
shifted at any time.
The purpose Of the starting sisA.sl
is to make it possible to put the ball
in play before the other side Is pre-
pared to receive the attack. It giyes
| the attacking team the chance to get
into the play before the other side
can, and the advantage Is decided
one.
So important is this starting signal
that a lot OF time is spent on 1t. and
there is no 1etup until the team has
| It down beyond question and eleven
men start like one machine, on the
second.
OF course all signals are practiced
until the work Is perfect. but no other
signal receives the attention given the
starting signal.
Signals are not confined to the at
tacking side, or the side having the
/ ball. Often signals are used by the
other side, the defending side. They
tell what sort OF attack may be look
led for after the ball has been put
! in play, whether it is a running at.
tack. a forward pass. lateral pass
or a punt or drop kick; and at times
other information is given. The i'm.
portance of these signals depends
much upon the shrewdness OF the De
Tending side in sizing up the play.
Signals are Of many kinds. Some
teams use letters, some use numbers
land letters, but generally numbers
Ialone are used. Occasionally a series
of plays are run off with a signal FOL
the series, but it is usually better to
decide upon each attack as the downs
are made.
| A team does not often succeed ir
! figuring ont the signals of the other
side, and it depends rather upon siz
ling up the attack. looking more tc
the makeup and arrangement of the
! players. the seasons record of the
team. and its work as the game goes
on, its position on the field, and the
Iscore and time left for play.
| Sometimes signals are given for the
wrong play, on offense and on defense
land sometimes it is very costly.
There was a time when others thar
those playing signaled information
from the side lines. often by means o.
a cane. or standing in certain way
but this has been done away with by
the call for better craftsmanship ant
Is we'll covered by the rules.
