Winning Team Must
Have Good Kickers
BY SOL METZGER.

When the late Andy Smith last
visited me we talked mostly about
the kicking game. AS teammates on
the varsity at college, Andy as full
back. YOURS truly as end, We VlVloiy
recalled our failure to win pig
game because of poor kicking. Inat
disappointment in his playing career
had much to do with Andy Stresslng
this form of play when he developed
his winning California elevens: Ihe
Golden Bears won, so Andy SAID, pc
cause in playing the kicking game 70
perfection they thus gained ABOUT
$50 yards more ground TO
game than any opponent. Coach
Haughton, when at Harvard, gave
the Crimson its one longest string OF
winning elevens in like manner.
It is not strange then that "Nibs'
Price, Smiths successor at Callfor-
MIA, stresses this same manner OF
attack. Price puts it concretely IN
these words: You punt more than
YOU use any other play. Why not
perfect it in every detail?"
In all sound punting speed Is par
amount. Price depends on sound
fundamentals to obtain speed. His
kicxers learn to kick by taking just
one step. That saves half the time
used in taking two. They are also
fed a fast spiral pass by the center.
To guard against errors in passing
and also to save time this pass is
delivered to them belt high over the
right foot. Holding the hands out
chest high for the pass, the style in
general use. is O. K, But If the
center passes high, as they often do,
a leap must be made for the ball
and precious time lost. If the target
is low this leap is avoided.
What to eat, how to eat, overcom-
ing indigestion, are some of the
questions answered in Sol Metzgers
icaflet on "Diet and Training for
Foot Ball" Mr.. Metzger will send
this leaf1et to any one sending
stamped, addressed envelope in care
of this paper.
