With the snap of the ball, the
end may charge straight for the
kicker, or come down the outside
line. The tackle. waiting for

in and turns straight for the

take the other line.

is very difficult to block a kick
if the punter stays 10 yards be-

With the punter pinned behind
his goal line, the defense may play
a Sevcn-man line and a diamond
in the backfield. The defensive
guard and center may work a
combination on the attacking
guard and center that will create
an opening right down the middle
area that will hurry the kicker
and prevent him getting the most
out of his kick.

He has everything-youth,

A variation of this is seen when

LINCOLN PARK UNITS
YEAR BOOK is ISSUED
Sixty-Page Manual Gives All De-
tails on Organizations of
Association.

The recently published Lincoln
Park Citizens Association 1884 Year
Book" has been distributed to nearly
800 members of this association, ac-
cording to G. L. Schafer, vice chair
man of the Publicity Committee in
charge of compiling material in the
Year Book.
The manual, about by inches
in size, contains so pages, 35 OF
which are given over to advertise
ments. The remaining 25 pages con-
tain convenient information about
the association, including the consti-
tuition, the names and addresses of all
members of the standing committees
and the names and addresses of all
members OF the association.
The idea of the book was not for
profit to the group. Mr.. Schafer said,
as the advertisers were charged just
enough to pay for publishing expenses.
At the regular meeting of the group
last Monday, however, a little more
than $40 was reported in excess Of
publishing costs. The only require
ment for an advertiser, Mr.. Schafer
said, was that he be a member of
the body. Fifty-two separate adver-
tiSements are in the book, nearly 40
of which are new members, he said
Each commercial advertiser may send
one representative to the meetings of
the association to be represented in
presenting any plans for the groups
adoption, Mr.. Schafer ssid.

SCHOOL AND LIBRARY
NEEDS ARE STRESSED
Petworth Association President
Points Out Advantages of
Benefits Being Sought.

The two most needed projects now
being sought by the Petworth Citizens
Association are q seven-room addi-
ton to Roosevelt High School, and q
branch of the Public Library on the
Roosevelt -Macfarland site, according
to John T. Thomas. president Of the
association. Appropriations for both
projects are now being sought.
Allan Davis, principal of the high
school. emphasized the crowded condi-
tions there and the need for the ad-
dition at a recent meeting of the
Petworth group. Harvey o. Craver,
chairman of the associations Com
mittee on Education. has been author
lied to take whatever action is neces-
sary to secure this school improve
ment.
The library branch, long sought by
the citizens association, would serve
as a convenient place for students Of
Roosevelt High School and Macfar-
land Junior High School to obtain
supplementary material. Mr.. Thomas,
the association president. has an
nounced that the campaign for the
library branch will be pressed with
continued Vigor.

School Accommodations
Seen as Greatest Need.

"A FORE of our civic organiza-
IV tions are lined up for O
definite movement to re-
lieve the pressing need for school
accommodations than for any other
municipal Improvements. The rec
concentrations of the superintend-
ent of schools have been ultra con-
Servative and look to meeting, only
in part, actual immediate needs.
There. should also be taken into
consideration prospective needs in
the way of school sites and addi-
tional buildings which are sure to
be needed long before they are pro-
vided. There is no criticism of the
superintendent to be inferred be-
cause he Is not asking for more. As
it is. he is asking for far more than
he will probably get.
Our schools surely afford an op-
portunity for some of our local-na-
tional legislators who desire SO
much to make Washington model
for the Nation. Our civic organi-
cations would respond most heartily
in the support of these model
Washington advocates If they would
just join forces with some Of the
tried and true friends of the Dis
trict, like Senator King and Sem
ator Capper, and give the District
a school building program of which
both the District and the Nation
would be proud. Where could there
be more meritorious public works.
