THERE is probably no one in foot
ball who knows more about the
art and science Of tackling and
blocking than Benny Friedman,
who in addition to starring for the
New York Giants has coached at Yale
asked Benny what he thought had
brought so many serious injuries and
fatal accidents this season, and his
answer Is interesting.
II should say" he answered, that it
was lack Of skill in blocking and tack
ling. I have seen any number of tack
lers and ball carriers drive in with their
heads down instead of keeping their
heads up. I have also seen consider
able attempted blocking with the head
and neck instead Of shoulders or body.
Here are few things for the player
to remember.
Il. A tackler should never lower
his head in making the tackle.
Tackle with your head up. In this
way you can also see what you are
doing.
20. A ball carrier should never hit
line with lowered head. Keep the
head up, which is easy to do even
when running low.
'3. No blocking should be at
tempted with head or neck. Use
shoulders, hips and body.
so many players" said Friedman,
do not know the proper way to block
and tackle. Being unskilled, they leave
themselves open to bad injuries. A
skilled tackler or blocker, of course, may
be injured, but he is much less likely
to be hurt. You will notice that most
of the fatal injuries have been in high
school or other prep games where the
lack OF skill Is more pronounced. The
blocking and tackling in pro foot ball
are more effective than on any college
team, and serious injuries through a
20 or % game schedule are rare"

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 26.-
Twenty EIGHT were arrested here as
the police brutally smashed the I'M

at the Pennsylvania Station.
-Four hundred foot and MOTORCYCLE
police, together with the city and
county detectives headed by Police
Superintendent Walsh drove through
the crowd of workers continuously.
Kearns, the delegate sent by Pitts
burgh workers and jobless to present
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill to Congress was arrested as
he began his report. Woods, secre-
tary of the Trade Union Unity League
and Mankin, Daily Worker agent,
were arrested white speaking. The
others arrested included seven Ne
groes and four women arrested in
battles on the street.
The workers demand for relief was
answered by police terror while the
city council covers up the graft on
food purchases by city officials.
The battle for the streets lasted
over an hour.

First, we assure the Baltimore COM

possible nerve in the Daily Worker

the arrests Of the comrades should
be an incentive for renewed activity
in selling, and should be the basis
for drawing into the club new mem
bers. Broaden your activity.
Expand numerically, and watch

chased the weeks gloom away by

New Brunswick the unemployed work
ers stand in front of the Johnson

morning, hoping that one of them
may be hired.
Demands Made
Mass demonstrations have been
held in every city of New Jersey de-
handing that immediate unemploy-
ment relief be given to the unem-
ployed workers. In every one of
these cities, delegates were elected by
the workers to present their demands
to the city authorities. The demands
of the unemployed workers were COM
pletely ignored. In some cities the
delegates were thrown out of the city
hall, were arrested and dubbed. In
other cities the commissioners adj
journed the meeting when the dele
cation reached the meeting room.
These city grafters have no time nor
money for the unemployed, but have
thousands of dollars with which to
increase the salaries of the city Of
ficials and to add to the police force
which will be used to break demon
STATIONS and strikes of workers who
attempt to fight for better condi-
tons!
In every city Of New Jersey the I'M
employed workers are determined not
to take this answer from the city
authorities, but are mobilizing all the
workers, both employed and unem-
ployed, in the fight for unemploy-
ment relief.

California, therefore. isn't the only

From coast to coast we find starva-

many young workers are standing in
line at New York City hospitals ready
to sell their blood for transfusions?
To feed hungry families, workers are
ready to do anything regardless of
harmful physical results. AS result
of the unemployment situation there
has been an increase of 300 per cent
in this field Of making a living. The
socialist" Jewish Daily Forward,
which showed this picture in a recent
Sunday edition, has no comment to
make on this outrageous situation.
This clearly shows us that the yellow
socialists are in alliance with the bos-
ses in their endeavor to hush up or
belittle the national depression.

workers, vii you let your families grow

parasites sap your energy to the last

DETROIT, Feb. 26.-The unem-
ployed workers poisoned by putrid
and worrny meat in Mayor Efurphy's
much Wanted welfare relief" kitch-
en-, are still in the hospital Many
are in a critical condition. While the
boss press admits that there are &c
of these victims. the belief among
the workers is that the number is
nearer to 100. The receiving hospital
was overfiowed, extra cots had to be
brought in. This clearly indicates
that the number is far above 25.
This poisoning of jobless workers
with stale putrid food gives a true
picture of the hypocrisy of Mayor
Murphy and his claims that the I'M
employed workers are Adequately"
taken care of.
So rotten are the conditions at the
relief" kitchins and flop houses that
many workers prefer to go hungry or
sleep in the cold than go near these
boss charity rackets.
The growing mood Of the workers
for struggle against these outrageous
conditions was well expressed in yes
terdays demonstration in this city,
when thousands of unemployed and
employed, white and Negro workers,
demonstrated against the bosses hun
ger system and Murphy fakery and
lies.

the Unemployed Councils, working

start to march to Trenton on Feb.
20 and on March 9, at the state capt.
toll the demands of half a million
unemployed workers of New Jersey
will be presented.
Demonstrate in Each City
The march will start from Paterson
Oh Saturday with mass demonstra-
ton and will go through Passaic,
Newark, Elizabeth, Linden, Railway,
Carteret, New Brunswick and Tren-
ton. In each of these cities mass
demonstrations will be held, and adj
ditional marchers that have been
elected in these cities will be drawn
in to strengthen the ranks of the
marchers.
The workers Of New Jersey in mass
demonstrations and meetings, called
by the Unemployed Councils, have
expressed their readiness to fight for
unemployment relief and against star
vatio and continuous attacks upon
the living conditions OF the workers
Of New Jersey. All the working class
organizations and all labor unions
have been modified to raise money
and food for the marchers, and this
work is going ahead full speed so as
to make sure that the narchers, who
will be on the road for three days, are
taken care of.
All the workers along the line Of
march are mobilizing in thousands to
greet the marchers and express their
solidarity with the fight for unem-
! ploylnent relief.

the rest smashed out on the side
walk and taken away by the kids
before we found out what hap
pened. The family next door was
told to move out. This family was
composed of two parents and seven
children who could not go to school
for lack Of clothing and food. When
/ got there the kids were crying
for bread. The light and gas were
shut off and there was no coal in
the house. They said that the
breadman and milkman refused to
bring bread and milk. Right next
door there is a Negro family facing
the very same situation.

farmers only to 5 cents per quart.
G. j. Marshal. traffic manager Of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, on Feb. 10
announced a reduction of traffic rates
on milk to the extent of two thirds
of the former prices. Still retail
prices in California are from IS to 20

out who gets the difference. Not only
are the workers exploited on the job
