MAKING INTERFERENCE IS
DOBIE'S NEXT LESSON

Gilmor Dobie stands in a class
by himself when 1t comes to
teaching the gridiron game to
scholastic and sandlot football fol-
lowers. His lesson on toward
passing and his lesson of this
morning on the art of tacklings
are far beyond expectations of his
journalistic brain.
Although the art of forward pas
sing and the art of tackling proved
masterpieces in themselves, the
next story which will appear to-
morrow morning on How to
Make Interference" will surpass
any thing that he has issued to
date.
II covers the advancement Of the
pigskin thoroughly and proves that
an interference runner must leave
his feet to obtain results of
gain on all plays that start from
scrimmage. Dobie has been OBJ
tained by THE WASHINGTON
HERALD to teach local sandlot
and scholastic football players the
great collegiate game.
Don't miss one OF these instruc-
tive letters IL you are interested
in football as they will not only
prove instructive, but will be IN
teresting to all followers of the
gridiron sport. Watch for Dobie's
story on How to Make Interfer-
ence" In tomorriw's issue of The
Washington Herald.

BUSINESS DEFEATED
BY WESTERN ELEVEN
Georgetown Team Proves Too Much
for Stenosraphers in Opening
Game of Series.

lnter-HiSh School football got under
way at Central Stadium yesterday
afternoon when Western defeated
Business High School eleven by IS to o.
The opening weather conditions
were all favorable, but a drizzling
rain started after the first whistle,
which proved to be a real spring
rain storm and before the contest
was over the warriors OF each eleven
were battling in a sea of mud.
Long before the field became marshy
and heavy the Western team demon
strated 1t was superior to the Busi-
ness team, as they tailed a touch
down in the closing minutes of the
nrst period and pushed one through
in the second period by the way OF
an onside kick from the kickofr.
The second half started In a down.
pour of rain that greatly interfered
with the feetfootedness of each team.
But Bryan Morse's Western eleven
proved the best in this heavy going,
rs two more touchdowns were rung
up against the Business team In this
last twenty minutes Of play,
Wight and Simpson, of the West
ern team, were the real stars Of the
occasion, as they hammered the Busi-
ness line and made consistent gains
OF the Stenoraphers' TANKS that kept
Western in the running from the
opening whistle. Capt. Mike Reedy,
Of the stenoraphers, was we'll in the
limelight and It was his brilliant
offensive and defensive playfn that

The Washington herald., 1917-10-20

The most effective weapon in the
session OF the defensive team is its
ability to tackle well. No team can
be overwhelmingly defeated If 1t con-
tains good tacklers. The players
should constantly practice the various
kinds OF tackling to become accus-
toned to it that they seldom miss
their man.
Generally speaking there are two
kinds of tackling: the head-on tackle
and the side tackle. The head-on
tackle Is the one in which the run
ner is met by the tackler coming
straight at him.
The tackler should approach his
man low with his weight well
forward and his shoulders no
higher than the runners knee.
At the instant he makes his tackle
he should drive into the man with
a powerful leg drive and meet the
runner just above or below the
The Washington herald., 1917-10-20

knee. The tackler should grip
firmly and II possible carry the
runner back.
The men backing up the line are
called upon to make this form of
tackle most often.
The side tackle is the one in which
the tackler meets the runner at an
angle. In these tactics the runner
is either approaching the tackler's
left or right shoulder.
When the runner is approaching
the tackler's left shoulder the tack
Ter should keep in such a way
that he will intercept the runner
and drive his body across his path
directly in front. In this case the
tackler should take of with his
right foot, which should be planted
about two feet from the runner
and about one yard ahead. so that
he may be able to shoot his head
and body in front of the runner.

night to give Jack Britton. the former
welter-weight champion, a ten-round

but the youth and stamina o. his
younger opponent was too much for
him. Leonard won a majority of the

near adding another knockout to his

SOME STRANGE FARMS


the ostrich first introduced to America is one
that must be told.
In 1889 an unknown soldier of fortune filled the
hold of a steamer bound for New York with more
than 100 ostriches. Now, these gigantic birds
weigh much 200 and 800 pounds, even more.
They are accustomed to sunlight, the open range
and above all, fresh air. But here they We're,
packed in badly ventilated pens in the smelly hold
of tramp steamer The pitching and tossing of
the steamer also was responsible for the death
of many of the birds. At any rate, but mere
handful of the original shipment arrived in New
York Later they We're shipped to San Francisco,
and still later to Anaheim in Lower California
Terrapin farming is one of the newer indus
tries. Down the Isle of Hope, Georgia, is one
of the greatest of all terrapn farms. And the
United States bureau of fisheries has been study
ing the diamond-back terrapin for the last eight
years down at Beaufort, n C. There terrapin
have been in the pounds for than six years.
and the young have long ago reached the age
where they can take care of themselves.
William Hagan has immense fur plant down
along the shores of the Deaware-he raises musk
rats, and makes money at it. During the season of
1914-15 Mr. Hagan realized more than $1,000 clear
profit on his immense farm, which extends over
an acre of GA acres But muskrat farming is a
very strenuous business. In the first place, the
farmer must wait until fall before the real farm
ing" takes place. 1t is then that the skins at
their best. The animals caught-the greater
part of them-by means of stake traps that is,
traps attached to stakes The stakes also serve
as guide. Then, too the trappers take with
them needle-pointed rapier, used to spear any
stray rat which may attempt to fleet at the first
warning of danger to him or his. And those hip
booted trappers can spear rat with all the deft-
of William Tell shooting an apple.
If you have never seen a muskrat farm, drop

see how underwater" farm is managed and

more than $50, and he has come very near TO the

Joseph Matlack of Moorestown, n. j., owns
what is perhaps the largest guinea-pig farm In the
world. This much is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS He raises
more of them than any grower in America, and
makes money where others fail. Now, that's some
thing to be proud of. Any man can be farmer
but to be successful farmer-wel that's some
thing different. OF course there are other guinea
pig farms which enrich their owners-lots and lots

found he was short of feed, and filed it with
thistles, bfoomeorn, kafr and milo. The thisteS
were cut too late to make good feed. but in the
fermenting process the thorns were softened and
the cattle ate them readily. There was not
enough from his 80 acres to fill the small silo but
Mr.. Stone found that the results were sufficient
to repay him. All winter he fed : mileh cows,

nothing but the silage. 1t lasted for three months.
As dry feed il would have been gone in three
weeks. That pit silo the only source of reve-
nue. on the farm for the year and the milk kept
the family in groceries and other necessities.
Experiments covering period of three years,
made Mt the Kansas Agricultural college, have
proved that silage from corn. from kafir and from
sorghum have equal feeding value, ton for ton, for
both beef cattle and dairy cows. when each va
riety is placed in the so ut the proper time. This
proper time for corn is when the kernels are be-
ginning to dent, for kafir and sorghum when the
seeds have grown hard they cannot be crushed
between thumb and forefnger, and while the
stalks and leaves still green. These tests
have proved that the practice in the past has
been to cut kafir and sorghum too green to get
the full feed value in the silage
These tests will have very important bearing
upon farming in the semiarid districts. The best
silage crop will be corn where the rainfall is
ample, kafir where the rainfall is moderate and
sorghum where it is light. Sorghum is practically
crop, where II Is well cultivated. in the
driest years in-western Kansas and Oklahoma, the
Panhandle of Texas, and in eastern New Mexico

Every farmer in the Southwest, it is said, needs
a silo badly as he needs anything; it is further
said that not two men in ten are able to build an
above-ground so because of the expense. The
pit slo costing only onetenth much, and
capable of being built by the farmer himself. is
expected to solve this problem until farmers are
able to purchase the more expensive and better
above-ground silos of woods, tile concrete or
metal.
