An ends chief duty is to see that n
play never gets outside and to turn all
plays in on the tackle. He should
never be knocked off his feet. He must
think fast and try to break up plays
before they have been formed. He
should take about three steps behind
the line of scrmmage and then hest
tate until he finds the ball, so that he
will not over-run the play and be fooled
on a double pass. On punts he should
be the first one down the field.
