of the Notre Dame players would run up the
center's back and hurl himself high into the
air in furious effort to block the kick. The
maneuver worked several times and helped
the Irish go undefeated to their last game
Other centers may not have taken on such
backbreaking extra duties, but under the
present-day, tricky, wide open systems you
are likely to see your center do most anything
on the field. Star feld-goal kickers are no
rarity among the centers. Big Ed Garbisch
center and captain of Army's greatest post
war team, was an artist par excellence, reach
ing an all-time high against Navy one year
when he kicked four straight to give the
West Pointers 1877 triumph. Milt Miller
New York University's star center of few
years back was a sure fingered forward-pass
receiver and for the Carnegie Tech game
Coach Nal Stevens of N. Y. U. devised
tricky shift by which the Violets could take
advantage of Miller's ability a shift in
which Miller became an end and therefore
eligible for pass. With the Violets trailing
by touchdown, Miller suddenly was shifted
into the end position. snapped the ball back,
fused Carnegie secondary defense snagged
long pass, and loped over the goal line with
the tying touchdown.
And, incidentally, a center was the chief
figure in one of the cleverest trick plays of the
1888 season. 1t occurred during the Alabama
Georgia Tech game, one of the great natural
rivalries of the South. 1t was, as usual, bit
ter, nip and tuck duel Alabama finally pene-
trated into scoring territory. but the Yellow
Jackets stiffened and on fourth down the
Crimson Tide still had three or four yards to
make. Out of the huddle 'Bama charged to
the line of scrimmage, the quarter barked his
signals, the backs shifted to the right, the ball
was snapped. Tech linemen Immediately
burst through the Alabama forward wall and
spilled all of the Alabama backs - but none
of them had the ball!
Suddenly, cry went up, Touchdown
One of the Alabama ends was in the end zone
with the ball. The Yellow Jackets swarmed
about the officials seeking an explanation

d line, digging their cleats deep, awaited
the next charge Behind the crouching Texans,
a giant of man strode up and down. shouting
encouragement. 1t was early in the third
quarter of last New Years Sugar Bowl game,
and Carnegie Tech was leading.
The shrill signals of the Carnegie quarter
back pierced the roar of the crowd =. the
Tech backfeld shifted rhythmically and the
big man behind the Texas Christian line
moved with them . the ball was snapped.
there was Crashing of bodies, and. suddenly,
through gaping hole in the T. c. U. line
there burst Halfback George Muha of Tech.
The crowd gasped; for split second it
appeared that Muha had shaken loose.
But from out of nowhere hurtled the huge
man who had been backing up 7. c. US line.
Muha tried to thrust him away with Earring
stiff-arm. but the tackler frightened his
clutch and dumped Muha to the sod.
Thirty yards down the field, Davey O Brien,
T. c. U. safety man, relaxed and turned to
Field Judge Red Friesell
1T looked like he was off to the races that
time, Red,' said O'Bren But not with that
HI Aldrich on the job. That's about the
.xenty-fifth tackle he's made today
yeah, Davey," said Friesell. He's good
center, all right.
"A good center! Say, he's terrific. He's the
guy who made me an All-American. When
youv got him in front of you, it s like throw
ing passes from behind a brick wall. They
rave about how accurate my passes are, but
have you noticed that Aldrch doesn't miss
single snap from center? Where would be
if he gave it to me little too high or too low?
I'd be right over there" And O'Brien waved
to the side lines.
Perhaps Davey, in his enthusiasm over
Aldrich. put it bit strongly, but it is high
time that somebody came to the front for the
man behind the ball. The ball carriers - yes,
and now even the once -unsung blockers -
get all the headlines while the center winds
up with the headaches He never carries the
ball, and he rarely punts or tosses forward
or catches one - so, to the average fan, the
center seems to lead dull existence. But no
player - and l include the brainy quarter
back and housekeeping halfback and leaping.

teams success than the center. Your offense

which won the mythical national champion
ship, came up to me on Commencement Day
in 1926 stuck out one of his big paws and said,
"Mr. Stuhldreher? Excuse me, but wanted
to introduce myself. My name is Adam Walsh.
We've been playing together on the varsity
for three years, but this is the first time you We
had chance to see my face
DON'T have to tell you that Walsh was
kidding because III never forget him in the
1924 Army game Adam was all-time ALI
American that day He made Is per cent OF
our tackles and didn't commit single wild
heave from the pivot post. What's that you
say - lots of centers do that? Well, maybe so,
but Adam was the first one who played 6O
perfect minutes with two broken hands.
so what" Adam used tc say as he be-
Titled his performance. Don't most OF you
quarterbacks play with your brains in sling?
Sure the centers kid themselves - but ask
any backfeld man what he thinks of the cen
ter's job and you'll get the real low-down.
Which reminds me of the visit Bob Pastor.
former New York University football star,
paid ex-center Wojciechowicz in September
to renew an acquaintance that was born in
the heat of one of the N. Y. U.-Fordham bat
ties. Pastor was training for his fight with Joe
Louis. "Wojie" was training for his season
with the Detroit Lions. Because he was the
first college football player to fight for the
worlds heavyweight title. Bob was hurried
into Lions uniform and led out to pose for
pictures He stopped over like halfback
receiving the pass from center and Wolfe
crouched over the ball, ready to snap it to
him. Suddenly Wolfe stood up, waved to the
photographers to wait, and turned to Pastor.
What soft racket you've got, he said.
''You get punched around for three minutes.
and get kicked around for CO."
Right" laughed Pastor. And I'm prob
ably the only guy who was ever glad ne wasn't
chosen All-American. If had been Id be
playing in your league today, and believe me,
I'd rather be in the center of the ring with
Loris than in the center of the line with you!'

cally disabled children have not been afforded the care education and treatment which their c0ndi- tons require.
 The Department has worked n cooperation with the several insti- tutions in the Territory which accept dependent children and realizes the importance of establishing some minimum standars so that uniform care can be afforded to every child for equal expenditure of Territorial funds. As it is generally recognized that the best surroundings for a child are the Additions which would be available in what his own home should be, some foster home place ments have been arranged.
 Cooperation
 The Child Welfare Services Divi- sion works in cooperation with the United States Department of Justice in connection with cases of juvenile delinquents and attempts in some instances to work out satisfactory home placements in lieu of commit ment to reform schools"
 It is to be remembered that the grant made to the Territory for Child Welfare Services for extending strengthening Public Welfare Ser- vices to children applies to all child ren in Alaska. Funds for relief and service to children are, however, from two sources; CD Territorial ap- propriations; @ Federal appropria- tions through the Office of Indian Affairs. The funds thus available are restricted for use of specified groups and separate administrations control the funds and determine the policies governing their expenditure.
 The Department has requested that facilities be developed to meet the special requirements of socially handicapped children and considers it desirable that it's responsibilities and duties toward these children be outlined specifically.
 It seems evident that the program of Child Welfare Services can pro ceed only as public recognition of the needs of children develops and ways in which these needs may be met are considered. The interest anc assistance of the local communities in child welfare problems is essen tial and only with community in terest and assistance will be Div ision of Child Welfare Services bt able to function adequately.
