NODGING.-A dodge may be
simply a sidestep to the right
- or left of charging oppo-
nent. Again it may be the lodging,
while dribbling, of a guard trying
to block. Last, it may be. done in
making a pass, by feinting to one
side, swinging the arms and body
over, and passing to the other. The
first occurs when a player finds the
guard rushing upon him. He then
makes long side step to the right
or the left, keeping the other foot
in position and holding the body and
bali away until his opponent passes
him. He then shoots or passes.
In using the second dodge, the
player dribbling down the floor
passes his opponent to the left by
planting his left foot down and
crossing the right leg over and
ahead of it.
The third type OF dodge is made
in connection with feint to throw
the ball in one direction, and actual
ly throwing it another. The man
making the pass may feint, by any
of the two-handed passes. He may,
instead of passing the ball, carry it
forward on his second motion,
thereby starting dribble.

II is perfectly true that back who
watches that punt or pass come sailing
toward him knows that muff or fum-
BILE may mean touchdown by op-
ponents and possibly loss Of the game.
But the coaches suggest that II the
foot ball player thus is to be relieved
of responsibility the poor golfer. who
tops his shot into bunker should be
given some way of trying 1t over again
without penalty. or an outfielder who
drops a fly with two men on should
be allowed to have the ball batted over
again.

from responsibility into the battles Of
