out on the taCkNnB dummy
In the terms OF the cx-Soldicr, heavy
marching equipment was given out and
that means real work for the sriddars
will commence at once. dummy Is
being erected on the lower end OF the
field and 1t will be ready 10 receive
punishment at three o'clock today.
Coach Clyde Is very we'll pleased with
the progress of his men this year and
he Is confident that all candidates are
far enough advanced to receive rough
treatment Clyde attended the lllonois
coaching school and considerable stress
was placed on correct taCklnG, charg-
ing and clipping. 1t IS safe to say that
the new coach will emphasize these
four departments and see that every
man is complete master NJ the arts be-
fore the season officially opens.
The maximum time will be spent on
the dummy and the line will get
thorough drilling in the art Of "harS-
ing The rope drill. that has proyeu
successful in all of the LARGE training
camps, will be used on the sign boys
and with several minutes OF ths tire
some work each day, the boys will
get into the habit OF charging low and
fast
The awkward man will he greatly
handicapped this year and It is certain
that he will not play on Coacn Clyde's
first line because the style uf play used
this year will neceSsitate quick move
ment from every individual on the
team. Tackles and guards will be call
cd on at any moment to Swing OFT of
the limo and lead the interference.
Shifts will be used that call for quick
thinking and quick acting on the part
OF the line as well as the backfield. In
fact. every play will depend largely
on tho manner in which the l:nemen
move and that means that the avn
ward fellow will have ~ overcome mis-
awkwardness to land berth on the
red and blue line.
