DUKE GRID SCHOOL
Wallace Wade Explains His
System OF Defense Against
Running Plays

DURHAM, July 30.-tR-Duke
u~niversity's coaching school went
through it's second day today as
registration for the tenth annual
summer session reached SO to set
a new high for recent years.
Coach Wallace Wade discussed
his method of setting up a defense
against running plays in today's
session on football and the various
points he brought out in his lecture
were demonstrated on the field IN
the afternoon.
Sessions in track and training
under Bob Chambers and In bas-
ketball under Eddie Cameron were
also heavily attended by the large
delegation. Coach Dutch Stanley
assisted in track and football and
Dummy Hagler with the line play
in football.
Coach Wade said that one OF the
fundamentals of a defense against
running plays was to instruct the
player to watch the ball carrier
and to stay where he was until ne
knew what the ball carrier was
going to do run, pass or KICK.
When talking on backfield defense,
he said that one of the hardest
things to get a bachield man to do
was to protect his own territory.
Too many boys, Coach Wade SAID,
leave their positions to help out a
teammate and then find the play
going over the spot they just left.
Among the SO coaches are around
Is college mentors o many
parts of the south and east. In
cluded in that list are julie Ward
and Tom Power, of Morris-Harvey;
Horace Hendrickson and Joe Bru-
nansky of Elon; Lew Bostick of
Howard; P. R. Bynum of Ran

! Every since the dawn of a new day
upon the world, and every since God
has placed within it human beings, with
normal bodies and minds, His word

They have all brought to US very
wholesome material during this week.
Material that has been most uplifting
and they have expressed themselves 10
US hoping that we may learn to be
more reverent to God, to live and love
our fellowman in a better way than we
have previously done.
In the different classes a spirit of
love and kindness has existed between
the students and teachers. I wish to
say that during this week of lingering
here together as brothers and sistesr
we have been helped in ways that Will
not be forgotten
As we leave this place and returun
to our homes and local churches may
We not forget that we came here to
learn how to accomplish the things that
we are hoping to do and when we re
turn home we are to accomplish them.
