GREAT HELP
TOBYRD
By HARRY COSTELLO
Georgetown's Backfield Star,
191O.1913

What will Maryland's defense
for Navy's attack be?
A hundred times the question
has been hurled at this writer
these past few days.
Close students of the game
await with interest the Maryland
defense. Some say it will be a
6-2.2.1 defense. Others insist it
will be a 1872.

and the other a backfield man
They are termed wing backs"
A wing back, as rule, plays a
few yards back of the scrimmage
line and about a yard outside de:
fensive tackle. In the next line OF
defense are two backfield men
practically directly behind the
wing backs, but much deeper. in
order to protect against forward
passes. The safety man is the
final line of defense.
Calls for Smashing Ends
Generally speaking, this particu-
g lar defense calls for a smashing
end. A smashing end is one
charged with the duty of going in
hard and fast, breaking up the
interference, leaving to his mates
Of the scrimmage line, and his
wing back support, the duty OF
tackling the ball carrier.
Often, in this defense, the
guard on the weak side is
charged with two duties, that Of
making an initial charge and Of
coming out to support his end
on the opposite side.
Not necessarily do proponents
Of the 1921 defense follow it ex
actly as outlined in the foregoing
However, the vital elements are
retained and the formation as a
defense is modified to efficacious
1y meet a modern attack of hid
den ball, double pass, spinner, cut
back and other plays.
Maryland has veteran line. It
is an exceptionally good lin E.
When any coach has a superior
line he is always inclined to boil
ster his secondary defenses. If
such is the case he resorts to the
1921 defense, as a rule.
One wonders what will happen
in case Maryland does take the
6-22-1 defense. These teams
coached by former Rockne stal,
warts know their football. The
question to be answered is this
"Can Maryland afford to weaken
her first line of defense?" The
answer will be given Saturday
only if Maryland takes the 50.
2-1 defense.
Adept With Passes
Coach Byrd faces a problem. II
he refuses the 1921 defense and
accepts the 7-2-2 defense, will his
secondary stand up under the
overhead assaults of the Middies:
All teams employing the
Notre Dame system of attack
are adopts in the use of the
forward pass purely as an
attacking weapon and also as a
threat. They cause defensive
elevenS many uneasy moments.
Smart coaches have been known
to rush to the 1921 defense
only to see teams coached by
Rockne pupils stick to a strong
running attack, thus causing the
burden to be too heavy for the
rush line defensive units.
The 1872 defense does not
take the center out of the line
to make a wing back out of him.
The second line of two defensive
units does not play so close to
the line of scrimmage as under
the 1921 plan. The third
line of defense, composed of two
more backfield units, plays deeper
than the second under this
defense, forming with the second
line a square, or box.
This is a fine defense, too. It
is considered, by many, superior
to the 1921 in that it meets
close line play much better.
Navy men, old football players,
certainly will be interested in
Maryland's defense Saturday
Indeed, all close students of the
game will watch carefully for
Maryland's defense. It means
much in Saturdays game at
Griffith Stadium.

Brookmire Economic Service, which has

try and those industries where better

income of the country in the next six

about per cent below the same period

than prevailed recently.
Industries which are enjoying I'M

Brookmire feels viii have sustained ac-

the other hand, 1t is said that such

railroad and electrical equipment and

Best sales prospects are to be found
in the textile eenters of New England
and the Southeast, clothing and shoe
districts of New England and the East

the producing sections Of North

Farm Income Improving.
Farm income, according to prelimi-

4 per cent from last year and win total

In Eastern States and in the Southwest

BANK ADVERTISING
LAW IS CONSTRUED
Minnesota Statute Sets Lin.
itationS on Announcements
of Institutions.
BY G. B. UPHAM.

Banks In Minnesota may not use
such expressions in their advertising as
s'the little bank with big backing" This
Is the conclusion Of counsel for the
Minnesota Bankers Association in in
depreciation of a law enacted by the
1881 Legislature A small bank In that
state has used the above slogan for
some years, and has already ordered
calendars for 1882 carrying the legend.
The advertisement including this
statement and followed up by list OF
the officers and stockholders would be
a violation of the 1891 statute, in the
opinion of the attorneys for the Bank
ers' Association.
The statute DEGREES that no bank
shall advertise in any way the asgre-
gate or individual responsibility or
financial worth OF its stockholders or
in any manner seek to convey the i'm
preston that the financial resources Of
It's stockholders, above the limit pro-
vided by law, are available for the pur-
nose Of meeting liabilities.
The occasion for the passage Of the
act was the fact that small banks
affiliated with the two Minneapolis
group banking organizations had been
advertising that connection on their
bank statements and elsewhere. For
example, q small bank with total re-
sources Of 100000 might advertise,
and indeed has. that it is member
of q group system with total resources
of S400, 900 000 1t was felt by many
of the smaller banks of the State, which
are not allied with a group organiza-
ton, that this sort Of advertising was
instantaneous to them.
A similar complaint was made by
some Of the Wisconsin banks last year
against the practice as followed by
units of a Milwaukee group banking
concern. Themselves making use Of
the Milwaukee bank as their city cor
respondent, they felt It unjust for that
parent" Of the group to be q party
TO advertising which affected them ad-
versely, as they alleged was the case.
AS a matter Of fact, small banks in
Minnesota and elsewhere, which are
not members Of the group bank organ
izattons, make use OF their independ-
ence as a bid for favor. If there were
q real public sentiment opposed to the
development of group banking, 1t would
seem to be TO the interest of the banks
outside of groups to permit the con-
nection Of other banks to be advertised
It is undoubtedly because bank de-
positors have come TO have confidence
in the stability Of the group organiza
tions that they have taken business
away from the independent unit banks
In some other sections OF the country
observers are noting a trend of public
favor away from the group systems.
