Spectators at the Pittsburgh Wash

will be treated to some fine line plung-
Ing by Bill Amos, Washington and
JEFFERSON fullback and captain. Amos
hits the line like a mad bull and near
ly always gains ground. One thing
that makes him Of special value is
that he seldom gets thrown back into
the hole he comes through when the
defensive back tackles him. In fact,
this Is where Amos adds a few yards
to his gain, instead of the usual loss.
That~s the quality a great plunger
must have, that and unusual strength
in his legs and back
When Amos gets through the line

the ball inside Wisconstns 5-yard

it appeared that only a miracle could
stop the Maroon hack from either
diving over the visitors line or driv-
ing through it.
Just before Chicago launched It's
play l was stationed behind the
Cardinal defensive line. The Maroon
signal was given. and for some un-
known reason McAndrews. the Wis
consin halfback, moved over beside
me. He urged me to step aside so
that he could reach the point of at
tack quicker.
1t appeared to me that McAndrews
anticipated the play. AS the ball was
snapped McAndrewS took two steps.
dove over the line and met McCarty
Just before the Maroon hack left his
feet for the supreme effort to cross
the goal line. They met in the air.
and the Maroon back was stopped
before he reached the scrimmage line.

piece Of defensive work have ever
