FOOT BALL SECRETS

When kicking off make certain that
the opponent catching it will be
dOwned near his goal line. That's the
worst place on the field for him to
have possession of the ball. To ac-
cOmplish this, three points must be
striven for:
/. The kick must carry to within 5
or 10 yards of the goal line. 2. The
ball must be kicked high enough to
allow the kicking team time to get
down under it and make the tackle
right after it is caught. 8. Backspin
or stop must be impaired to the ball
so it will not roll forward and over
the goal line in case no opponent tries
to catch it. kick-offs that cross the
goal line usually become touchbacks.
That gives the ball to opponents on
their 20-yard line.
Distance on the kick-O is obtained
by hard leg drive, the ankle being
held rigid. Height comes from driving
the toe through the ball close to the
ground. Backspin is Obtained by tee
ing the ball, as i'm the first illustration,
with its upper point leaning backward
toward the kicker. \ ball kicked in
this way will rise high, carry far and
strike the field with a bouncing up
and down motion instead of with a
forward roll.
Never tee the ball with its long axis
at right angles to the ground, as i'll
the second illustration. It's hard to
get height If you do and it will
invariably roll forward on striking
the ground. Only constant daily prac
tice will teach the player just what
backward tilt to give the teed ball TO
get the best results on the kickoff. If
another player holds it for the kicker
a slight downward pressure by him on
the ball will add to the backspin.
