will try tomorrow night to climb
back to first place in the Elks' state

TACKLE LOCAL team

Deciding that the Original Celtics,
ba~sketball's greatest attraction, too
important a booking for ~Than<sgiv-
ing night, Messrs. Lowenkopf and
Levin, local court moguls, have de-
cided to go through with the engage
ment with thu Brooklyn Whirl-
winds.
The local promoters are DESTROYS
of bringing the worlds champions
here for at least three contests this
season, the first probably in Decem-
Der. There is a possibility that on
a holiday a great many fans would
not come out even to see the Celtics
play. Amboy has not been going
any too good of late, and it would
not be right to ruin a chance to
down the champs by booking a game
when the home club is not on its
right stride.
In the Whirlwinds. however, the
Amboys will encounter a collection
OF passers who have registered a
one-point victory over the Celtics
already this season. Elmer Ripley,
Nick Harvey, Knoblock, Benny
Bergman and Stuchberry are the
five big guns on the WhirIwind ros-
ter. All of these men appeared on
the local court at one time or an
other.

How is an off tackle play execut-

How is an off tackle play execut-
ed?
Answered by
KNUTE ROCKNE
Coach of football Notre Dame Uni
versity. Famous for his fighting
cams, beaten only twice in last four
years.
The key to an off tackle play is
the defensive tackle. 1t is therefore
wise to put two men on him, the Of
fensive end and an extra backfeld
man. The first W. backs will have
20 block the end out but if one can
get him, the other goes through for
he defensive halfback. The guard,
pulling out of position, should go
through the defensive line and get
he defensive fullback out of the
Jiey, leaving his feet to do so. The
'.lan carrying the hall runs easily
tor several steps, as If going wide,
cuts in almost at right angles and
lrives through the hole between de-
tensive tackle and defensive end.
Men on opposite side of line hit by
Runner go through to take out the
secondary defense and to form wave
Of interference for the m when
he breaks through and cuts back
toward the middle of the line. The
play, to be successful, depends on
good interference, line blocking, fast
starting, and timing.

association is Ulanning for a big sea-

Due to the fact that Yves Hansen

only SAG officers and men so failed

Three British officers were shot
two for desertion and one for muir

death three times, each for deser-

he could not stand the weller of
