How Foot Ball Is Played
BY SOL METzGER-
THE mere point of saving a frac-

THE mere point of saving frac
- tion of time in getting off a
punt caused coaches to first employ
the spiral pass from the center to
the backs, The first time we saw it
used was by the Navy against the
Army some twelve years ago. The
principle of this pass was that il
Travelled slightly faster than the
end-over-end pass and always gay
the ball to the kicker in the position
receiving the ball via the end-oyer-
in their hands before preparing tc
this extra move. AS foot ball is a s
puntS that were blocked every sea
making this extra move could now
Other coaches caught the point at
once. and they began using the spiral
pass on all formations In which the
center passed the ball direct to the
back who was TO carry 1t. These
formations--the unbalanced line and
the backs arranged without a quar-
terback handling the bail--were de-
yelopments in the game conincident
with the arrival OF the forward pass.
These coaches found that the spiral
pass, when gently lobbed by the GEN.
ter to the backs, always brought the
ball to them in the same position,
and IL cut DOWN, In measure, the
percentage of funibling that some-
times resulted from the end-over-end
pass. This latter pass sometimes
caused the ball to hit one of the hands
of the back trying to take II, because
a larger area was presented to him.
All teams do not use the spiral
pass today. Those teams which do
not employ the quarterback to take
the ball from center and hand 1t to
the back. who Is to run with or pass
IL. employ 1t almost all the time.
It is more easily mastered by centers
than the end-ever-end pass, because
a spiral pass Invariably follows the
line of tive long axis of a foot ball.
IN viewing a game where IL Is not
wsed, note the delay the end-oyer- end
Ynass causes the player receiving II
& take when the ball does not come
20 him with the point first, These
little principles mark the difference
batweeTl q we'll coached team and one
which is slipping up on q point or
two. The percentage. always Is IN
favor or the eleven which uses the
most care In preventing fumbies
when all else iseequal.

A good system of signals should
be simple, compact, expressive and
easy TO call. The quarterback
should be careful not to accent play
numbers or snap signals, but should
call numbers with the same accent
even while the ball is being passed.
In this system eash play should have
a distinct number, which number in
dicates a definite assignment to each
of the eleven men. Dead numbers
should be changed all the time and
given the same stress apparently.

RECIPROCITY FAILS
Maryland Unable, Under

During ConcIave.

Word reached Washington today
that the Maryland commissioner of
motor vehicles cannot under exist
ing law allow District motorists to drive
into that state during the Shrine con-

This statement was contained in a
letter to the local division of the Ma
tional Motorists Association. Ray
mond Beck, field secretary of the N

Baughman, the Maryland commits
sioner, after Commissioner Oyster
had announced that the District would
permit Marylanders to cross the line
without District tags during the con-
vention.
In response to Mr.. Beck's letter. Col.
Baughman expressed regret that he
is without authority to take similar
action for the state of Maryland.

The board of District Commissioners
are expected to take definite action

time during which Marylanders will

In writing to Col. Baughman, the
National Motorists Association point
ed out that If he could reciprocate
the action proposed by the Commits
sioners such action would tend to
promote good feeling among motor
ing lines between the two jurisdic-
tions.
The y. NJ. A. took occasion to
thank Col. Baughman for his action
in permitting Washington car own
ers to buy e-quarter-period
Maryland tags tomorrow so they
might use the Maryland highways

In reply, Col. Baughman thanked
the association for its expression
and voiced the belief that Washing

period tags tomorrow would not use
them until Sunday, April l.
