One important point remained
in our plan. It would be neceS-
sary for our quarterback to keep
an eye on the big fellow for an
indication as to when he would
stay in and when he would leave.
AS things turned out, Palombo
became a sort of pet to everyone
in the Navy line, and as result
he did not disturb our backs very
much. However, well along in the
game our field general found time
to carry out his assignment for
Palombo's benefit. Palombo had
been making faces and Palombo
had been pulling out.
Makes Long Face
Thus when the team lined up
again Mr.. Palombo made an cs-
pecially long face and as a result
our quarterback called for the
spinner. To everybody's surprise
the big fellow for once didn't
move and as a result one of our
little 150-pound backs charged
right into his waiting arms.
When the game ended we COM
pared notes and came to the con-
clusion that poor Palombo was
making faces because he was
tired, and his particularly long
face appeared just at the point
where he had resolved to stay
quietly in the line until after the
"last roundup" Imagine his
pleasure when our next play ran
right at him for no gain. He
never budged an inch after that
and we didn't disturb him.

Of his natural build for a foot

But he was slow in rising to
the heights mapped out for him
because he found out there was
still plenty to learn about foot

He began his football career as

because Of his heft and ability

backfield man than a linesman.

Best Of all, Kocsis' work en-

To get away from Kocsis for a
moment, the game was decidedly
the greatest that teams from
Tech and Central have played
IN the last six years. Ac.
ton was Of the tense variety
from opening whistle to last and
1t was anybody's game until Koc-

Its feet to score the decisive
touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Passes Fail Tech
The biggest surprise of the en-
tire afternoon and the item which
undeniably lost for Tech was the
inability of Hardell's men to
make good on several passes that
were, attempted during the 40
minutes. Usually this type of at.
tack has been completely sue
ceSSful for the Manual Trainers.
but yesterday not a single pass
was successful and it hurt the !
boys from T Street as they found
they couldn't score any other
way because Central halted their

ing Palombo in several early sea-
son games we came to the con-
cluSion that he pulled out of his
defensive position quite often to
assist in making tackles all along
the line. In order to stop this
we devised a spinner play that
was to shoot right through his
place in the line the moment he
pulled out. If our spinner could
be depended upon to go for good
gains few times we knew it
would keep Mr.. Palombo in the
line where he belonged and thus
our end plays would have q
chance to mature.
Considered POlOmbO Stopped
AS far as the ambitious Palom-
DO was concerned we considered
he was stopped either way. If
he stayed in the line we would

out we could drive a truck through

front of each of them. The guards
should be farther in than the
center because the center has the
quarterback in addition to his
opponents.
The ends usually take three
fast steps straight forward and
then in; the tackles are against
opposition but they should be
across the line of scrimmage. The
guards and center are up against
a wall; therefore. they must hold
their own or better.
Especially Effective
This style of defense is espe.
cially effective against a close
formation but is also good against
punt and open formations. This
lyle of defense is simple and
easily understood by players. It

cause they put confidence in one
