Some excellent material comes to
the varsity from the freshman squad
especially for the line. 1t generally
is believed that some of the husky
young men who did so well as mem
bers of the yearling outfit will give
the varsity veterans the run of their
lives for regular berths. The North

ford. Sprague, Summerall, Johnston and
Austell, backs, are said to furnish the
varsity with better prospective material
than it has had in previous seasons.
Tai Stafford, former graduate man
ager of athletics at North Carolina
State and now alumni secretary with
headquarters at the college, is for
the hfst time in years. quite enthusi-
astic about the outlook. Stafford
gives this as his most conservative
way of summing up the situation:
/ From the standpoint of number of
| regulars who have returned, six or
| possibly seven, the outlook is not
| especially encouraging, but when it
| is remembered that the 1922 eleven
was not particularly successful this
| may not mean much. Potentially the
| team should be a strong running
| machine, little weaker in kicking
and about the same in forward
passing. Unquestionably there is
| every evidence of a much finer spirit
and highly improved morale, and
| this factor alone may prove the mar
gin of difference between losing
team and real contender for southern
| conference championship honors.
! 'DefenSively the team should be
stronger than the 1922 Wolfpack.
which in this department usually

great things of Red Lassiter, 190-
pound fullback, this fall. and with
him and the powerful Holland as a
nucleus, North Carolina State should
have a great backfeld. With this
prospect behind the line, and the
probability that the holes in the
! varsity line will be plugged by men
from the excellent material furnished
by the freshman eleven North Caro-
| lima State has few reasons to look
forward to the season with many mis-
! givings."

on the varsity team. Among them
are: John Mckee, tackle; Ray car

hurried development will mar the

and sure process of molding for

foot ball tutors. Only little over an

Last year Western presented fair

Cade and Ahearn are pinning their
hopes on intoxicating in their cohorts
the knack' of interference, forward
passing and sweeping end runs. If
the Western candidates can success
fully absorb this knowledge, they
will present formidable eleven.
Yesterdays practice featured for
ward passing and general condition
ing work, such as running and charg-
ing, No sCrimmage has yet been held.
1t probably will necessitate ten days
of hard practice until the thirty can
didates can display their wares in
combat.
While Tech and Central have ad-
vanced considerably in practice, West
ern has had but four hours of work.
1t will be remembered that last year
the Georgetown team clashed with
Central with but scant practice. This
fall, however, it will be different, as
Wastern will play it's first inter
scholastic game on October 26 against
Eastern.

Another scheme, rather more COM
mon is to have one of the two backs
delegated to take the end, lead the
other about a yard and throw him
self at full length into the shins of
the defensive end, especially If he is
coming fast toward the play. The
other back strikes the end from the
afterward, attempting to bowl him
over the first back, just as one boy
often pushes, another, standing up,
over a third boy stopping behind
him. A third scheme of taking an
end is for a back to run at him
erect, cause him to rise up to ward
this back off with his hands and,
1ust as he is reached, this back sud
denly throws himself low into his
shins.
In some systems of foot ball a back
and the offensive end are used to
take the defensive end. The offensive
end runs back to prevent the de-
fensive end cutting in. The back
runs right at him low and attempts
to run through him, as the offensive
end throws himself at. his feet from

tion given only to defensive players.
This expression is used because
fundamentally mans hands are of
great value in keeping off an offen-
sive player. A defensive player who
does not use his hands is losing a
valuable asset in defensive play. 1t
is possible for a defensive player by
use of the hands to direct the force
of an opponents charge or to keep
an opponent from getting the de-
sired body or leg contact.

There is report that Foster
Sanford is spending his last year as
coach at Rutgers and that he will be
succeeded next year by one of his old
pupils, John Wallace. Sanford has
done a wonderful work for Rutgers,
much of it in recent years at con-
siderable sacrifice of time and energy
which might have been devoted to a
constantly growing business.
Sanford took hold of the Raritan
institution when, it occupied a minor
position in foot ball and other
branches of athletics. AS a result of
his efforts this college has assumed
an important position on the grid
iron, while the indirect result of his
constructive efforts has been noted in
swimming, base ball, track and basket
