HAIL
DRUG SEIZURE
As VICTORY
Value of Drugs Estimated
at S5,ooo,ooO Retail by
Authorities; Sent as "Furs"

FduuIOt lNIOoI SS'N NS
Seizure at New York of contra
band narcotics valued at more
than $1,0OO,000 wholesale was
hailed by Federal authorities last
night as the largest haul Of SNUG
gled dope ever made in the
United States.
Through this and other cap
lures recently, it is hoped 20
smash up a nationwide drug ring
which has been operating eXten'
sively in nearly all large cities OF
the country.
From COnStantin0ple
The illegal dope, consisting Of
i,10O pounds of morphine, was
brought to New York from
Constantinople, on the French
freighter Alesia of the Compagnie
Cyprien Fabre Line. Aware Of its
coming, agents of the Narcotics
Bureau and the Customs Service
seized the shipment.
Officials here estimate this
amount Of dope would be suffi-
cient to supply 10000 addicts for
o period ranging from nine
months to one year.
A fair estimate Of the average
retail price is about $400 an
ounce. The $4,000 ounces seized
would bring about $4,000, 900 into
the pockets of the underworld
Sacketeers.
Authorities here we're consid-
erably exercised over the fact
that the morphine came direct
from a Constantinople factory,
confirming the belief that Tur.
key is the principal supply OF
the Illicit traffic in this country.
Search Bill Offered
A bill has been introduced by
Representative LaGuardia (RO,
of New York, making 1t man.
datory on the Customs Service
10 open and search all shipments
from Turkey until that country
co-operates in stopping the drug
racket.
The seizure was made possible
hy over two months Of intense
investigation by narcotics ana
customs agents both here and IN
Europe.
The morphine was concealed In
R5 cases of "furs" and merely con-
signed "to order" thus ensurlng
delivery to the person or persons
holding the bill of lading.
The Alesia also carried a ship
ment of legal narcotics as
signed to drug concerns. During
the voyage, a case of this ship
Snent was reported missing. The
incident created such q stir on
board that the smugglers evident
" became suspicious.
Fail to Appear
The Alesia first put in at Provi-
dence, r. l., and later do\Eed at
New York where agents kept a
close watch for the consignees to
appear with the bill Of lading,
They failed to appear.
Authorities, however, are con-
Vinced there is a connection with
o recent seizure at New York
which resulted in the arrest OF
80 men, as of whom were aliens.
They are now awaiting trial or
deportation.
The remarkable success Of Fed
eral authorities in hitting the
dope traffic has resulted from the
policy of close cooperation in
augurated by the new commits
Sioner of narcotics, Harry j. An
singer, and Commissioner Of Gus
toms r, K. A. Eble.

This type of play requires speed
and smoothness. Therefore, these
qualities are really the first i'm
portant fundamentals which a
man must develop in his posi-
ton.
Practically one of the best
methods to get out of the line
quickly is to use the step back
and cross over foot work. To
illustrate: Assume running play
to the right. The guard steps
back with his right foot, plvotS
on the ball of the left, bringing
the left foot across to the right
side for the first forward stride.
The footWork is the reverse when
the play is to the left.
This method is superior, l
believe, to the straight cross
over without first taking the
backward step, because taking
a backward step with the
right foot before executing
the cross over practically
eliminates the chance of col
liding with the tackle or CEN
ter according as the play is
to the right or left, who
may not have gotten out of
the way in time.
The same method of execution
applies when the guard is called
upon to protect the passer with
this difference: If the pass is
executed directly in rear of the
center the foot which is first
pulled back is brought further to
the rear, thus allowing a cross
over step to head the guard in
a straight line toward his protec-
tive position near the passer.
Upon reaching his station the
guard pivots around, faces his
oppon ent, gets set with the
weight on both feet, which are
placed we'll apart so that a wide
space to the front may be pro-
tected.
The guard should be careful
not to leave his position. but
stand fast and make all oppon-
ents run around him, keep the
head low out of the path of the
ball and above all don't step on
the passer's toe! I have had
many an ache because of a
guards awkward footwork.
When coming out of the
line, the guard should keep
crOuched as low as possible
because this tends to make
him less noticeable to the
opposing players. and espe.
ciaIIy to the one whom he
is about to block.
Urder all circumstances, avoid
looking around to see where your
teammates are and what they are
doing. Keep your eye on the op-

ponent and get him out of the
ball carriers or passer's way.
The mission of the guards are
so varied, depending on the play
to be executed by his own team
and the defensive formation a
sumed by the opponents, that no
general rule or suggestions can be
laid down without taking up each
of the many possible situations in
detail. This is really a matter OF
intensive coaching.
When playing the defense the
guards should take a low stance,
legs we'll braced and drive through
with the shoulder. Don't fail to
make use of hands at all times.
Slive through every possible time
to rush the passer or block punts.
Without a low stance the guard
lays himself open to being readily
carried back by the opposing line
men, He must stand low and
make use of all the leg drive
within his power.
