FOOT BALL SECRETS
H SOL NETZGER
WHEN IN POSITION OF KICKER

Every back or lineman who goes
back and takes the position of the
kicker on kick formation should
take the stanc" of a man about TO
kick. whatever the signal. Then you
have your opponents guessing. At
tack today is most effective when
there is triple threat. That is. you
keep your opponents guessing as to
whether you will run, forward pass
or kick. It's dead certain there is
not going to be kick If the man in
the kicker's position lines up as
though Ire were going to run With
the ball. 1t would take him too long
to get readjustetl il he tried to kick
The chances are too great it would
he blocked.
Furthermore. many teams use
standard kicking formations for all
forms of attack. They tend to loosen
up the defense so that the running
and passing game is most effective.
If they assume such formation and
then have the player in the kicker's
position announce he is not going to
kick. by taking the wrong stance,
their attack is greatly weakened. The
first picture shows the stance of the
kicker. The second of the runner.

Better Than Last Year.

Better Than Last Year.
When 1t is realized that these hard
hitting Pirates got but five hits. the
skill of Johnson can be appreciated.
From the moment he had finished with
the first batter could see plainly that
he was % per cent better than when
he went against us last Fall
The Pirates made their inexperience
and newness apparent. right at the
start. They were plainly nervous and
overa nxfous. They frightened up an
never got loose. The first four innings
took 40 minutes. pretty clear indi
cation of how deliberate everybody
was trying TO he. But It is always
that way with youngsters. Experience
can only be acquired by having eX-
perience. Cuyler, for example. didn't
show his real game at all He was
nervous and overanXious.
The Washington club made a wise
move in playing Joe Harris, well
known to ball players for his nerve.
Joe made good right off the reel by
hitting a home run his first time up
Some Brilliant Plays.
Later he got single that started
the winning rally In the fifth inning
When the game seemed pretty we'll
cinched. Stanley Harris took Joe Har-
ris out of the outfield; to get the bene-
fit of McNeely's speed on the defense
1t was very successful move.
There were some remarkably bril-
liant plays In this first game, despite
the apparently one-sided finish. Grant
ham made a brilliant stop for a dou-
BILE play. Other players who starred
who really cut loose with their real
stuff. were Bluege, Wright and Tray
nor. Traynor not only fielded bril-
llantly. but he made two of the hits,
one home run. that gave the big
Pittsburgh crowd hope.
johnson played the youngsters very
cagely. He made Cuyler nervous. by
pitching a fast one too close to him
in the first inning. Then he whipped
one over and struck him out.
Pitchers Well Informed.
The pitchers appeared. to be fairly
well informed as to the weakness and
| strength OF the different batters. It
looked to me, though. as II Meadows
made mistake in pitching four fast
balls In row to Sam Rice In the
| fifth inning.
Meadows slipped on Sam Rice. Sam
likes to hit fast ball. Sam let one

he had 1t back. On the last one,
however. he took crack at 1t and
drove a clean single into center that
scored two runs. Sam Rice is one of
| the greatest ball players in the game.
1t doesn't pay to go too far with him
in taking chances.
johnson. I thought. didn't quite
| figure out Pie Traynor. He pitched
too far outside to him frequently.
That is what Pie likes. He proved it
| by smacking one of these outsiders
| for his home run.
Muddy Ruel caught a beautiful
game of ball. One of his best moves
was the stopping of a wild pitch in
the fourth inning and later making a
snap throw to first that caught
Cuvler mapping.
