DR.. Wilce admits three so
called types" of quarterback
the third-running or interfering
of the direct-passing game; the
small fast, clever, "pep-distrib-
uting" driver and the general"
with personality and ability to
think for others under fire, -
regardless of other qualifications.
George Pfann, Cornell's star of
1928, fits the first type. Charlie
Buell., Harvard's leader in 1922,
answered the requirements of the
third. We have none in mind
right now fitting the second +ype
named.
But, continues DR.. Wilce, the
quarterback, no matter of which
type he may be, should be "the
brains of the team and the life
of the football party"
"Size and special abilities, 3"
says the Ohio State coach, "as
kicking, forward passing, running,
blocking, are desirable, but are
secondary to personality, energy,
leadership and ability to think
generalship correctly under fire.
An Important Lad.
THE offensive quarterback
suiting DR.. Wilce must be
expert in the indirect pass,
though that is not seen often
these days. The direct pass is
used almost altogether these days
and DIR. Wilce's quarterback must
be able to take it, run with the
ball and receive forward passes.
This quarterback must "call
signals in a stimulating manner,
with clearness, precision and uni
formity." He must be clear
headed, ever watching for weak
nesses in the opponents. He
should be a four-threat man,
runner, a forward passer, punter
duO LIEU SOdA hlChcE1 CIOuSH CHlS
combination seldom comes an one
man. He must "be an absolute
'optimist' and morale producer.
On defense, he must be abso-
lutely accurate in catching kicks,
a good open field runner and
open field tackler, adaptable to
quick changes caused by shift
ing conditions, have a perfect
knowledge of the rules and "must
be a step in advance of all other
players in knowledge of offensive
and defensive generalship."
If your son is a varsity quar-
terback, old man, he must have
something even to begin to meas
ure up to these qualifications.

claration, yet in spite of party fana-
ticism their attitude towards Marie
did not change. The Grousinian, who
was a Social Democrat, Overlooking
with enthusiasm, kissed her before
everybody, and we all felt so amused
by that incident that party Affiliations
were forgotten for the time being.
Marie led in the merry making. She
sang and even danced and finally at
her suggestion we all went to the
big forest to throw snowballs at one
another. The scorching frost and the
bone-dry winter air held everything
around us as in the grasp of death.
Not twig, or bough moved upon the
stately trees Of the great forest, and
only our steps were heard crunching
the icy, glistening snow. The deep
blue, starry heavens looked dreamily
upon the forsaken, little Siberian city,
as we walked ahead in brisk, lively
step led by our Marie.
When we reached the forest, Marie
was first to shed her heavy winter
wraps, and dressed only in her usual
black shirt and embroidered blouse,

proceeded to pelt us right and left
with snow. We did our best to COM
bat the attack, but were no match for
her. She ran like a gazelle all around
us and appearing where she was least
expected, showered us with snow
balls at every turn. We soon forgot
about the cold and raced about in the
icy air, straining every muscle to land
a ball at the elusive, graceful girl
who was pelting us mercilessly.
So the moments fled and as we all
wendell our way homeward, our
thoughts were full of Marie.
Marie's entrance into the Social
Democratic group at once put an end
to the chickering's and factional fights
in our colony. The Social Revolution

A RED FANTASIA
BY ERIC vERNEY.

Clang, clang, clang-
The turbines ratified;
Clang, crash
And Jack machine-mnder
Grimly battled
With sleep
Crash
He on the night shift
Clang, crash
And out of the East came Red Star
Thru the air thru the skylight
From afar;
Crash, clang-
Red star embIazoned quaint spiked hat
Worn by stranger, who said to Jack:
i am Red Army man."
And he asked
Have you heard
OF those giants who gave their lives
To the Revoluton?-
Thinking, writing. planning, leading
Sacrificing, only needing
The Revolution?
Such as these were Marx and Lenin
Their disciples Sverdlof, Mehring
John Reed, Lefebvre, and many more;
Have you heard
OF those martyrs who gave their lives
For the Revolution
Working, fighting guiding, dying
At their posts, crying:
Long live the ReVolution"
Such these were Liebknecht Rosa Luxembourg
Kingisepp and Samuey,
Volodarsky and Yuritzky,
And also Vatseslav Vorovsky =.
Clang, crash, clang-
And Jack
Disturbed by all these strange sounding names,
Wondered .
"Did you ever hear
OF the million heroes
Who fought suffered, and bed without fear;
Who struggled five long years
On Russias blood-stained SHOWS
For the Revolution
Or Of the glorious victims of the Class War
On other fronts,
Who died in mine shop or mill,
Or starved to death-'unemployed,"
Or hunger struck in goal
For the Revolution?
And Jack almost understood
Clash clang, crash
ALMOST understood.
And the man with the Red Star asked:
when the DAY comes in your land,
When the fighting starts,
And gun in hand
The workers flock to the barricade
Ready for the final raid
On the citadel of Capital
What will you do
For the Revolution?

CCIAty DSCAASe Ol MdrlS > luuueHCe.
She always counseled against party
fights and carried her point invari-
ably. why fight amongst ourselves,
why scrap and dicker?" she would
appeal. I'VE are all revolutionists,
we are all striving for one goal, so
what difference does it really make
whether / follow Marx or Michail-
oysky?"
Marie devoted great deal of her
time to the exiled peasants. She
would read to them aloud and teach
them how to read and write. She even
made clothes for their children and
instructed their women in better
housekeeping. She was apt and handy
at everything, and whatever she did
was done skillfully and rapidly. Her
own little hut was a model of cleanli-
ness and good taste, and every nook
and corner spoke of her artistic soul
and inclinations. No one ever saw
her downcast and whenever bad It'd
ings were received from the far-away
home, we invariably went to Marie
and were sure to come away from her
in better spirits and with stronger
faith in the cause which was dear
and sacred to all of us.
But after all, Marie was puzzle
and mystery to all of us politicals.
We could not understand from what
source this pale, little girl drew her
inexhaustible energy, her life and
courage. We often questioned our
selves: who is she, this charmer
of our hearts and minds? What is
her past, is there anyone whom she
loves not merely with the love of
sister, but as a woman?" Our curl
osity was, however, never gratified,
for her life was still a sealed book
to us, and quite naturally our interest
in her grew even more intense be-
cause of that.
Week after week passed. One just
like the other, and if it had not been
for Marie, the dreadful monotony of
life would have been unbearable.
Heaven knows where it would have
led us to. Each of us was in the grip
Of an irresistible desire to break
away from the curse of the exile and
to taste again the air and freedom
of the great wide world. We frequent
ly talked to Marie about getting
away, but she always managed to
side track the conversation, and we
soon realized that it was a painful
subject for her to talk about. We
wondered how she, with her free, en-
ergetic nature could endure life in
this cold cage. But it was fate, and
prudence and reason counselled sub
mission, and to those of us who CON-
planned louder than the rest, Marie
had one reply: Don't worry, broth
er, better times are coming, just wait
and you'll sect"
With the first rays of the spring
sun, Marie underwent a visible trans
formation. She was still the same
lively girl that we all knew and loved,
yet there had appeared something
about her that spoke of a deep
change. Shadows occasionally visited
her bright, little face, and in such
moments she would whisper Nadson's
melancholy songs, and stare uncon-
sciously into the great void like a
startled dove.
We never inquired of her the cause
of her depression, and attributed it to
the influence Of spring, which awak-
ems in all young hearts quiet yearn-
ing for the uncertain and unattain-
able. The arctic spring appeared to

A shrewd mother writes "The best way to
