Gndiron Strategy
LEGS PLAY BIG PART
(BY EDDIE KAW)
Cornell, All-Amerlca Back)


First of all, as to the physical
qualities needed to play the back
field or halfback position, ! would
advise the youngsters TO train and
exercise their legs especially, be-
cause their work depends almost
entirely on the power and drive
that they carry In their underpin-
ming. Many coaches look at the
legs first of all.
The youngster should take
especial care in the development OF
his legs. He also wants 10 watch
his ankles closely. as they have TO
be able to stand good deal OF
strain In lodging, starting and stop
ping quickly.
II the youngsters legs arc bad, or
II he has anything at all the mat
ter with them, I would advise him
TO stay out of football. because
without good legs he will be almost
useless.
Second. he should develop his
legs as to endurance and proper
breathing. Many youngster is
| spoiled in high school by too much
work and lack Of training discipline.
A backfield man has need for all
the wind he can possibly store up
in his lungs. He must always have
a little left to put on final burst
Of speed to pass the last tackler.
l certainly advocate No smoking
for the youngster until he is through
competitive athletics. I have never
smoked and have never had the
least bit of trouble with my wind.
Third, the youngster must train
himself in the art Of. quick think
ing and acting. 1t is especially
essential that he be able to see his
openings quickly and be able t.
take advantage Of them at one.
Many Zines line will open W
holes for the backfield men and til,
backs will miss the hole, perhap.
only by inches, but this slight diff
ference will mean that the apertur'
has closed again before the bacl
: discovers his mistake.
The most valuable back to an,
team Is one who can pick the hole

of Sports

1t is confidently reported that the
All-New Britain Waterbury football
question is coming TO the crisis and
It's coming in way that is we'll
night unexpected by the majority of
the fans In this city.
AS Is known, the New Britain
management opened negotiations
with the Waterbury management
and when Messrs. Mulligan ct al.
stated their terms, game seemed
impossible. When Manager Ed
Daley of the New Britain team
preached the subject OF a home and
homo SERIES he was told that Wa
terbury was willing to play New
Britain providing that Waterbury
would get GO per cent of the gate
and New Britain 40 per cent.
Naturally, Manager Daley agreed
to this thinking that the Waterbury
management meant the terms for
the game in Waterbury, lie then
asked about the game in New Brit
ain stating that New Britain would
play Waterbury here on $3.50
basis. Tho answer he received is
well known. He was told that Wa
terbury would have TO get Go per
cent of the gate here in New Britain.
We don't know just what Manager
Dailey's answer to this hold-up was,
but we think that he answered TRY
and get it," At any rate, the nego-
tiations were called off. Recently
emissaries of the Waterbury club
came to New Britain asking about
q game and when they still held to
the first demand, they were again
told to try and get it.
Now the case has simmered down
to the point where the fans in this
city are asking why the Waterbury
club should ask for so per cent in
this city, or why they should figure
they should get it. New Britain has
finally decided to call the turn and
for this reason, it is reported, the
following offer may be made to the
Waterbury management.
Waterbury will play New Britain
in New Britain on Sunday, NoVem-
Der s, one week from tomorrow. or
no percentage agreement whatever
but the terms of the game will bt
winner take all loser take nothing
In the event that the game goes M
score, or a tic, each side will tabt
70 per cent of the gate receipts
with this offer, if Waterbury ha

It will be accepted. 1t may not b.
good business, but it is sporting
