Visual Foot Ball
BY SOL METZGER.

Reverse plays are only success
full when the backs learn to pass
the ball to each other when run
ming at top speed so cleanly that
a tumble Is impossible. Pop War
ner was the first coach to produce
a good reverse play. 1t was a
masterpiece and is diagrammed
above. The Indians first used 1t.
Pop still uses 1t just as effectively
at Stanford, and so do many
others. The success Of the play
depends on Back No. l passing
the ball to Back No. as they
pass.
In illustrating how the pass is
made, have purposely shown the
play as it would be seen from the
defensive line Of scrimmage. No.
/ back gets the ball direct from
center and runs to his right, be-
tween Back No. 4, coming toward
him, and his line of scrimmage.
AS he approaches No. 4, he takes
the ball in his right hand and
slaps it right at the belt. Of No. 4,
holding his hand on it as they pass
each other Zig. p. No. takes
both hands to hold the ball in
place as they pass in order to pre-
vent a tumble.
In making this pass players
should be careful to use but one
hand, the one nearest the receiver.
If both are used in slapping the
ball into place, there is great dan
ger of a tumble, because the arm
farthest from the receiver Is bound
to strike the nearest arm of the
receiver.

That is the sort Of man George
| Little Is. What he has done and Is
| doing at Wisconsin is a subject for
conversation throughout the Middle
| West.
When the writer was here two years
| ago he reported a sagging spirit
among the athletes and the students
generally. This has all been changed.
Nowhere in the conference is there to
be found a zing and zip pervading
the campus as at Madison. It means
that Little has sold himself and his
methods to the student body.
Sells a New Spirit.
But he has done much more than
that. He has sold the new spirit Of
Wisconsin to the State. This Is a
great feat. When he came here there
was a satirical, eye-lifting attitude on
the part of the alumni and citizens
generally toward athletics at Madison.
and this affected loyalty to the insti-
tuition in every respect.
Glenn Frank, president of the uni
ver-sity, has been working on this
with conspicuous success and Little
has done remarkable work also. His
tireless campaign throughout the
State, in which he has met alumni
groups night after night. telling what
was being attempted at the university
and pointing out the duty Of grad
yates and citizens, has borne fruit.
He holds athletic clinics for high
| school and club coaches throughout
the State. His activities are mani
| fold.
Today the State is right back Of
| this institution. High school boys,
athletes as we'll as non-athletes. are
coming here and the surge to insti-
tutions of sister States has been
pretty completely checked.
The buoyant personality OF the
man is everywhere apparent through
| out the university. You find him
stopping his car on the way to foot
ball practice to encourage students
engaged in intramural diversions,
such as foot ball, tennis and the like.
You find him in the boathouse. pat
ting the crew candidates on the back.
Every one seems to know him.
OF course, under these conditions,
the brand of foot ball has been i'm
proved. From a lowly standing in
the Big Ten, the Badgers in Little's
first year, 1925, finished the season
in a tie for second place.
Backffeld Is Only Worry.
This year, with so many conference
teams of strength, there is no telling
what Wisconsin will 10. 1t is suffi-
cient for the present that the Wis
cOnsin team is accounted everywhere
as formidable, and that this reputa-
ton is justified by the showing in
the early season games. The line,
q veteran one in nearly every po-
sition, should stand up with any in
the conference, and just how far a
promising backf1eld develops will tell
the tale of the season.

SCORE COMPULSORY
LIABILITY INSURANCE
Baltimore Officials Say Law Would
Increase Reckless Auto
Driving.

Compulsory automobile liability I'm.
surance would increase reckless driv-
ing among automobiles and greatly
add to the present number Of annual
fatal cases, instead Of decreasing
them. John N. Mackall. chairman Of
the Maryland State Roads Commis-
sion. declared in commenting on a law
recently applied in Connecticut.
The Connecticut law makes insur-
ance compulsory after conviction Of
injury to any person or damage to
property in the amount Of 500 where
the driver Is at fault.
Mr.. Mackall said 1t is his opinion
that the only way to curb reckless
driving is to make the vehicle and the
driver himself responsible for the ac-
ctdent when il has been determined
that he Is at fault.
IF every motorist knew that his
automobile was to be seized and used
to defray expenses incurred by an &C.
cident he naturally would be more
careful" said Mr.. Meckall.
Commissioner Of Motor Vehicles e.
Austin Baughman said he was op.
posed to compulsory automobile In.
surance. saying that persons having
such insurance would take more
chances, feeling that the insurance
company would be responsible for In
juries or damage resulting from &C.
cidents.
Police Commissioner Charles d.
Gather OF Baltimore said he has not
given the matter OF compulsory al.
tomobile insurance much thought.
Il have been busy trying to educate
people not to be reckless, and am CIV
ing more thought to this than think
ing Of compulsory automobile insur-
ance AS a curb on reckless driving -
