As Told in an Interview With Harold
Johnson, Tribune's Special
Sport Writer

Too much attention cannot be given
to catching punts in daily practice.
Numerous air currents which come
from openings in the grandstands, or
other sources, often divert the course
of ball thus making it difficult to
judge accurately.
In catching punts or kickoffs it is
we'll to grab the ball against the body
and in doing so bring the leg into ac-
ton by pulling 1t up in such man.
ner as to not allow the ball to drop
to the ground after the catch.
The quarterback must make sure of
the catch before he gives his atten-
ton to the men who are rushing down
to tackle him. Once caught the ball
should be carried in such a way that
one point is we'll up under the arm

When tackled the man carrying the
ball should wrap both arms around it
1t is foolish to attempt to catch a
punted ball while on the run, as the
chances of missing it are greater than
the chances of catching it. A runner
should never run straight at man,
because injury is easier avoided by
side-stepping and taking the force OF
the blow on the side.
A different condition exists, how.
ever, in catching kickoffs, as they
have a definite direction and are cas-
Ter to judge. A player may catch
kickoffs on the run. Besides the
catcher runs less risk, as he is travel
ing fast and in a better position to
dodge. - 80
