Any one who knows anything about
the game will not debate the asser-
ton that the ends today have a much
greater burden to carry both on at
tack and defense than the wingmen
who played in the old-time game.
They have the forward pass to check
on defense and are important factors
in the aerial attack. All this in addi-
tion to the duties which they have
always had to perform.
AS for the tackles, they are meet
ing today an attack of versatility and
lancing drive which the tackles of an
older day knew nothing about There
was a time when they could get their
heads down and burrow into the at
tack, but they cannot do this today.
Heads up is their slogan. and the
forward pass and the hidden-ball at
tack, unknown before 1915, combined
with multiform duties, make them
busy young men while a foot ball
game is on.
Guards are no longer stationary.
They leave their places and weave
themselves into the interference, in
which they are very important cogs.
And the duties of the backs have also
increased not only In variety but in
StrenuouSnesS.

Chester Mines had missed the goal
which would have tied the score.
The teams lined up that last two
minutes of play. Pennsylvania had to
kick and we kicked far down the field.
Michigan attempted to stall for time.
Finally she was penaliZed and forced
back until punt was required to get
the ball out of serious danger. They
lined up and the kicker sent the ball
down the field in wonderful punt.
Dick Marshall was waiting for that
punt and it fell in his hands on his
40-yard line. With the ball under one
arm, he started for the Michigan goal
line and the Michigan defense started
for him. Pennsylvania players formed
groups of interferers for him and
fought off the defense. On went Mar
shall past the midfield, crossing from
one side to another; lodging and zig
tagging; sQuirming out of tackles and
side-stepping others until he finally
made the 60-odd yards needed and
crossed the goal line for another
touchdown. This made the score 26
to 81 and assured a Penn victory. no
matter If the goal should be missed.
The crowd went wild and swarmed
onto the field. despite the fact that As
seconds remained to be played. The
officials insisted that these seconds be
used and It required three-quarters of
an hour to clear the field.

Expert ends not only break up
the interference sent at them but
also tackle the runner. That's so
when they employ the driving-in
system, rather than the waiting.
The theory of stopping an end
run with this defense is shown in
the diagram. The end rushes
across the line of scrimn1age two
or three steps straight ahead and
turns in at a right angle to meet
the man farthest back in the inter-
ference. That enables him to turn
the runner in on tackle, even if he
fails to do all he sets out to do on
this play Gig. u.
The end hits this rear back low,
spilling him over his shoulder as
he keeps on worming forward.
He keeps his face up so he can see
the runner and thus direct his
charge at him. 1t is to be remem-
bered that the end will not strike
the interferer on his left in the il
lustration. But on an end run this
interferer is out to get the end, so
he will get into the collision just
the same.
That's why this other inter-
ferer is knocked down, too Gig. p.
BY driving on ahead the end will
be able to tackle the runner should
he try to continue around the end
instead Of turning in on tackla.

is going to pass. The hand should be
placed on the back half of the ball
with the fingers we'll spread. The ball
is thrown over the shoulder with an
overland snap throw. AS the ball
leaves the hand the fingers rip under
meath. giving the ball the spiral mo-
ton. Be sure to FOLLOW through for
accuracy. On short passes the ball
should be thrown with a small arch
with very little spin, making the ball
light aTU fluffy and easy to catch. On
long passes the ball should be thrown
hard and fast and as nearly parallel
to the ground as possible.
2-The falkland or non-grip pass:
This is the best pass for small hands
and wet weather. The ball is laid
upon the palm Of the hand and the
fingers on the laces. 1t Is thrown
overland in the same way as the
grip pass.
Next Coach Bassett will tell you
about the other two passes-the under
hand pass and the basket ball pass.
If you want to be a foot ball hero
you must learn the forward pass.

The DEGREES, which French sport
writer's consider fatal to the nations
Olympic chances, provide for the can
collation. Of all permits and furloughs
for soldiers to participate in sporting
and athletic competitions after May
Is, 1927 The famous Joinvielle Mill
tary Training School, from which the
best French athletes have been drawn
since the armistice, also will be ellmi-
mated. Army corps championships
will be done away with and there
will be a general decrease in physical
instruction.
At the ministry Of war, the Assoc1-
ated Press was informed that athletes
Of international caliber would be
granted permission to compete In
games having an international status,
but that national and regional cham
pionships would be taboo in the army
because they result in the loss of too
much time on the part OF soldiers
from their military duties.
Forty sporting writer's held
stormy meeting at the ministry OF
war in an effort to have the DEGREES
revoked. They gave as one argument
that before an athlete can attain In
caliber, he must first OBJ
tain regional and then national stand
ing.
Castor Vidal, former undersecre-
tary Of state for physical education
and sports. told Minister of War Pain
leve that the DEGREES spelled the doom
of athletics in France. The army,
he said, has always been the best
recruiting office for the athletic fed
erationS.
M. Vidal also brought out the fact
that Rene Lacoste was twice re-
fused permission by the military au-
thorities to go to the United States
to participate in the Davis Cup
matches and in the American cham
pionships. Only the personal inter
vention of NJ. BRAND, who was then
premier, Modified the army authori-
ties, who at length gave Lacoste his
leave.
Don't you think Lacoste render
ed better service to the cause of
France by winning the American
tennis championship than by driving
a truck in the service Of supplies Of
the French army?" Vidal asked.

battle fairly even Is that Georgetown

The Central-Tech game was
rather drab affair in comparison with
the live tits that often have marked
the annual gridiron meetings of these
dearest of foes, and there was little to
choose between them. The first real
dash and fire of the conflict did not
come until within a few minutes Of
the final whistle, when both elevens
exhibited a real punch.
Ritter whipped a long forward pass
to Mullen that put the oval on Cen
trails 18-yard line. After three rushes

boot had direction but not height.
Immediately Central lashed out with
a savage attack, and on a forward

istone and 30-yard run by the latter
the Mount Pleasant warriors brought
the ball to Techs 35-yard strip. Sim
mons shot long forward pass which
Ritter intercepted on the Manual

Perhaps the most conspicuous indi.

of Kriemelmeyer for Tech, who also
