Cleveland A. &. Is Made Good
Little Grid Team by Using
Cooch's Novel Methods

Football as played by the 100
pound Cleveland A. c. team isn't
the usual type of neighborhood game
where bunch of lads gather after
school, assemble a ball and several
pieces of nondescript equipment and
challenge the boys in the next block.
1t isn't just an accident that this
club for several years has had one
of the really outstanding young
teams in the District. That they
play good brand of football and
win a large majority of their games
is due to the careful planning and
coaching of Larry Conant. who, with
the assistance of a Steering Com
mittee of dads, has evolved several
novel methods of teaching the sport
Must Learn Eight Plays.
AS matter of course the club
members receive training in football
fundamentals - blocking, tackling,
falling on the ball and other basic
matters After that comes the eight
plays they must learn. Each player
is letter-perfect in his assignments,
but in case he should forget during
the heat of game it doesn't spell
disaster.
One of the novelties evolved by
Coach Conant is little blueprinted
card, different one for each posi-
ton, showing what that player does
on all plays. A hasty reference to
the card and the boy refreshes his
mind and performs his task without
a slip. This card is attached to an
elastic band pinned inside the boys
trousers so it is made easily available
1t has proved effective for several
years.
The club, which practices every
afternoon on the Pierce Mill field in
Rock Greek Park, has a membership
of %, with 100 pounds and IA years
as maximum. In many ways, foot
ball Is akin to scouting, Coach Con-
ant believes, and as an experienced
scoutmaSter he has taken several
scout methods and applied them to
football.
AS scouts are divided into tender
foots, second class and first class
scouts, the Cleveland A. C. boys are
papooses, bucks, braves and lastly,
redskins. AS they increase in foot
ball knowledge and experience they
advance in grade and, according to
