: Ed Weir, famous all-American
tackle at Nebraska the past few
years, was of great value to his team
on offensive because he could, from
the position of left guard. come out of
the line and lead a back on an end
run, taking out an opponent so that
his teammate with the ball could re-
verse the field and make a long gain.
The diagram shows exactly how this
run was made possible by Weir.
Grange made many of his long gains
through similar interference.
Figure l shows how the lineman
starts. He lines up next to Center.

ball he springs back with his right
foot, pushing himself with both hands
and his lett foot. The importan
thing here is that his first step carry
him well back of center. Then he

A tip for players: All linemen
