ght and the quarterback on the left
There are variations to this system.
The Haughton scheme at Harvard
was to have all the Iinemen fight
through the opposing line. Haughton
inquired that the confusion resulting
from the attempt of his men to get
through the opposing line and the
opposing Ifnemen attempting to get
through his line would cause enough
delay to prevent any of these oppos-
ing linemen getting through to block
the punt. As proof that his scheme
worked, Harvard scored its first
touchdown against Yale under
Haughton, when her right tackle
picked up a fumbled punt by Yale's
quarterback and ran for a touch
down.
Andy Smith follows somewhat
similar idea at California. although
based on another principle. Smith
spends much time in teaching his
punters to get off their kicks in a
hurry. He times them with a stop
watch from the moment the ball is
snapped by the center until it is ac-
tually kicked. The result is that Cal
lfornia's punts are gotten off so
quickly that nearly the whole line
goes down on them. Few are run
back, and as the opponent catching
them is frequently tackled by sew
eral players California may be said
to be playing for fumbles by the OPP
position.
Many ends make the mistake of
getting sucked in when going down
on punts. That is. they run straight
for the player catching the ball. He
then is able to sidestep them, and
frequently runs back punts for good
gains. Ends should go down wide and
come in from the opposite sides upon
the player catching the punt. Then if
they do not tackle him. they force the
catcher to run up the middle of the
field. In this area the runner has to
pass the two tackles, two guards and
center coming down on the punt. In
other words, the first duty of the end
on going down under a punt is to
force the catcher in. Nearly all long
runs by players catching punts are
made up the side of the field, due to
the end on that side getting sucked

been cleared up.
The question was taken UP by some
225 officials and coaches at the inter

was adopted:
IF under this rule, a ball is kicked

players of the kicker's side are off

This note puts rule XVIII mn COM

Some time ago Coach Gormley ex-
pressed himself as expecting to turn
out a creditable eleven, but not one
that would make an exceptional
record. Foot bali at Catholic Uni

than the spirit Of Catholic University
makes it: therefore. l believe if we all
get together ard pull together during
the whole season we shall have a

The first practice is scheduled TO

DOwney Osborn, about the best man
in the Maryland freshman backfield
a year ago, reported to the varsity
squad yesterday for the first time.
In practically all games in which the

born was the main ground gamer,
and he is expected to do some good
work as a varsity back. Osborn is
fairly fast and weighs 175 pounds.

Athletic Director John OReilly and

Arrangements have been made to
play the opening game with George
Washington on Georgetown Field. A

the total men out for the eleven reg

it is nearly as many as they had

There is play in very common
use sometimes called the drive-off
tackle. Whenever this play is exc
cuted with even a remote degree of
precision and the offensive line gets
the charge on the defenders, even
for a moment, there will be a gain
The play is so executed that two
men can be assigned to every de-
fensive 1ineman involved, with two

defensive end. This means that if
the play is to be stopped for less
than a two or three yard gain, one
forward must manage to stop two.
This tackle thrust has in itself an
inherent strength not visible in any
other combination of line plays, so
long as the objective is rather a
sure, short gain than possible long
one.
