pass; rather, the center must get the
ball to the back the way he wants
it.
1t is in the passing that one can
notice the great difference in the
efficiency of the centers. The CEN
ter who desires an All-America berth
must know the peculiarities of every
ball handler to whom he must pass.
In present-day football there is an
exact split second when the ball
must be passed. A plan can not
be timed without perfect accuracy.
Here are a few things a center
must do: Forget the opposing team,
even though he knows that shortly
after the pass all rivals will crash
him like a locomotive. He must
never pass the hall to the wrong
man. He must correctly. gauge the
speed of the player to whom he
passes. He must see If he catches
the ball, because the center should
be the first man. other than the
player who fumbles, to know 1t.
Many coaches instruct their CEN
ter to yell BALL." when there is 8
tumble, SO that every one can join
in the scramble to recover it.
The moment the center snaps the
ball he becomes a linesman and has
a duty to perform-either he fills a
hole in his own line or crashes
through and tries to cut down the
secondary defense.
