this manner the taclkler is
given q leg drive which car
ries his body well across the
path of the runner and in
case of miss the runner is

body.
When the runner is approaching
towards the tacklers right shoul
der the performance is just the
reverse. That is, the tackler tax OF
off his left foot and grabs the run,
ner on his right shoulder and
chest.
There is another form Of side
which is very generally
used and very effective. The form
used should be identical with the
above description, only the tacklel
allows his head to slip just behind
the runner and takes the impact
on the opposite shoulder. think
the form in which the tacklel
shoots his head in front of the
runner Is the more effective.
