While the champions promise to
have a strong pitching staff, once
the season opens, nevertheless it Is
a staff consisting mostly Of vet
Grams who cannot be rushed at the
start. They must take their time
about getting into shape to do their

disastrous. AS a result next weeks
games may not be victorious. The

(MichiGan, All-American Center,
192D

The position OF the center on the
KICKOFF This team receiving tho balD
should be from 10 to Is yards in
front OF the ball.
This enables him to take care OF
short kickoffs, or trick kicks.
If such be the case he mmedi-
ately falls on the ball or runs with
it, whatever his chaDces are, as both
teams are onside and eligible 10 run
with the ball.
If the ball is kicked 40 or so
yards, as it usually is, tho center
drops back to point about 10 yards
from where the ball is caught and
forms interference for the ball
carrier, blocking the opposing
player who is in position TO tackle
the runner.
Do not stop blocking until the
runner is declared down by the
referees whistle.
After this you Immediately go to
where the ball is down, at all times
trying to be the first man TO form
your line of scrimmagc, and be In
position to feed the ball at once.
As I said before the center is the
handspring and no quarterback can
start play unless his center or
handspring is ready to feed the ball.
On the offcnse the center takes
rigid position, SO that he can neither
be pushed nor pulled, maintaining
his balance as soon as the ball is
passed.
This position is taken by the feet
spread apart. one foot a few inches
in front of the other on the line of
scrimmage.
The head is placed under the legs
the ball directly underneath.
The center should have a clear
view of his backfeld, especially to
the player about to receive the ball.
The ball should be thrown with
both hands firmly grasping the ball.
and with a snap wrist motion.

WEST HAVEN ELEVEN IS
REAL STRONG CONTENDER
New Britain Team Plays Last Game
Before Entering Triangular
Championships.

An aggregation of football brains
and Drawn is the advance informa-
ton sent to this city about the West
Haven high school team which is to
play New Britain Saturday for the
first time In the athletic history of
both schools. Memorial field In
Willow Brook park will be the scene
of conflict.
This team has long been one of
the best In the state, but was given
little recognition until this year,
when the management of the Meri-
den, New Britain and New Haven
teams came to terms for games.
Like Weaver high school. this team
also boasts of strong line, but
since that array Of talent that ex-
hibited as Viewers line came here
we're from Missouri until we see 1t
in action.
Since this is the last time the Red
and Gold will battle before it starts
on its quest for the triangular cham
piOnship, a large crowd should be
on hand to see the game, to get a
line on the team against some real
opposition. Since the only two
lone games this year were walk
aways for the Hardware city, local
fans are at sea as to the caliber of
the boys from the Franklin square
institution.
In all three games this season
New Britain has thrown few forward
passes. The reason being that in
the two home games against East
Hartford the opposition was 50
weak that straight football was all
that was necessary to win. The
Troy Conference was played on a
muddy field and the ball had Il
thick coating Of mud on it. so that
it was impossible to throw passes
and be sure that they would be
completed. Because Of the game
being so close neither team cared to
gamble on IFS chances. However.
when the time comes, New Britain
has Harry Stromquist, who can peg
them like a Dixie" Griffin in his
prime.
