GILMOUR DOBIE

Foot ball coach, Cornell Cniyersity.
His teams undefeated for past three
years. During nine Gears at Uni
verxity of Washington his teams were
never defeated.
Some players have fear OF
taokling, and this fear is of two
classifcations-fear OF missing the
runner and fear of receiving bodily
harm. They are both usually due
to the same cause, namely, ignor-
ance of how to make a tackle prop
erly.
Really a tackle when properly
made is not difficult, and when the
proper form is used the conclusion
is slight and hurts comparatively
little. The coach should classify the
different kinds of tackles for his
players, such as tackling from the
rear, tackling from the side, both,
right and left, and the head-on
tackle. The coach should teach his
players an effective form to use in
each case and have his players prac-
tice the form until it becomes second
nature. Two very important points
to be emphasized in teaching form
are: Approach the runner low down
and keep your eye on his knees un-
til lie is completely in your posses
sion. Form can be best taught by
having the runner and tackler go
very slowly and for only short dis
tance. Then there is very little
likelihood of injury. and it is a prac-
tice which is in no respect rough.

NAVY FARES BADLY
IN PRINCETON GAME

ANNAPOLIS, Md. October 2O.-Five
Navy players had their noses injur ed
badly in the Princeton game, and 1t
is believed that those of Lentz, the
guard. the biggest man on the team
Flippen, q. regular back, and Banks,
q backfield substitute. are broken.
1t is hoped that they will be patched
up and protected in such way that
they can be used against Pennsyl-
vania State here on November l, If
necessary.
After a thorough inventory 1t looks
as IL the services of but one player
are lost to the squad for the season.
Clyde. the big tackle, who went into
the game in the second half for the
first time this season, had his shoul-
der SO badly hurt that he was car
ried from the field.
He had broken his collarbone in a
motor accident this Summer, and it
was thought that he had a fracture
In the same place. This, however,
was not the case. His hurt was on
the shoulder, but 1t was found that
there was no fracture, though he may

The Navy eleven is one from which
great improvement may be expected.
But the Army is not likely to stand
still in the meantime. Improvement
may be expected there. too.
The Nevy has shown a queer sort
OF condition this year. In the game
against Marquette. the Middies faded
out of the picture in the last quarter.
Again, i'll the game against Princeton
the Navy team, after strong display
of line breaking effort, began to give
way and at the end Of the fourth
period the team was made up of sub
stitutes. The regulars had dropped
under fire and were out. 1t was not
matter of saving the men. The
regulars were clearly not in good
condition.
Just why this should be Is some
thing of a mystery. Perhaps the
weather has been too hot down at
Annapolis to permit the coaches to
bring the team along as they wished.
Foot ball cannot be played early at
Annapolis with the vim that 1t is,
for instance. up at Hanover, y. H.
OF the Navy backs. Shapley looks
best just now. Flippen is a persistent
runner and Wellings a hard hitting
back for short gains. The line stood
up well until the big Lentz had TO
retire. After that the Navy forwards
did not look so we'll.
Army plays much the same game 1t
played last. year, except that 1t Is a
little better. Much Las been said
about the wonderful aid that Wilson.
the former Penn State back. would
bring to the Army. He will, II he
can get away to run. but II must not
be forgotten that the Army itself
showed how thoroughly Wilson could
be covered by a clever defense. And
Knute Rockue's light Notre Dame
eleven emphasized the point Saturday.

rooters. wild with joy, considered the
game won. And the Quakers close
formations, with the backs drawn up
to the line Of scrimmage and with all
plays starting on a quick shift to
left or right. had been extremely ef-
fective. They uncorked a big va
riety of plays. including straight
formations, but strongly featuring
double passes and deayed passes.
Seventeen plays, covering 70 yards

Quaker score. A straight 94-yard

fray. Almost six feet tall and weigh
ing 1870 pounds. he wished to test
his strength against the most power
full Of Harvard's opponents from a
point where he might carry the ball.
And. although disappointed, he didn't
give up. Some day, he felt. he was
going to be needed in the backf1eld.
He decided he was going to be ready
for that day.
So, in practice and during each
game. he gave close attention to all
signals and all formations. But more
than that, he devoted a solid portion
of his spare hours to absorbing them.
In the privacy of his room. with a
quarterback to aid him, and using
two chairs to represent the other
backfield men. he regularly ran
through the signals. He not only
fitted himself to play fullback but
both of the halfback positions.
And that was why, when the Grim
son was in distress, he was able to
come to Its aid. All boys who want
10 play foot ball should be bale to get
a good lesson from the incident. 1t
requires no explanation.
