THREE RULES FOR FOOTBALL The boy who loves football and aims seriously to become one of the bul- wa.rks'of'his team can make himself better by personal practice in the back yard with himself as his own coach, Few coaches have time to drill each individual in all of the very important fundamentals. One of these fundamentals is suPe r - important. If you car. find tine to praetice only this one thing, your work is sure to bear fruit. Without it you can never reach the full extent of your possibilities, I call it Rule One.. You must know the rules. Buy or borrow a rule book and in the evenings go over each rule carefully: • 1 But before you read the rules, take a. pencil and write down on the first page a ru=e that is not printed in the book: Rule One—Hold the Ball! Nearly every football game has its tragic moment when somebody fumbles. Fumbles can be avoided, for they ar mast always happen when the ball is not being properly carried by the backfield player—or any other player, for any moment the ball may be fumbled within your reach There is only one way to hold a ball safely, -whether it is passed to you from the centre, handed to you by another back, tossed through the air as a spiral forward pass, or picked up from the ground where it has been fumbled. You must' fold the ball into your ,„arm in such .a way that one point sir'tiggles into the bend of your elbow. Your hand grasps the other end. Keep the ball on the inner side of your fore -- arm. Keep your elbow and forearm as close to the body as possible. Then squeeze. As longas the I a play is. an, keep squeezing the ball into your ribs. Fumbles happen usually when the im- pact of an opponent jars the ball loose. A very slight jar will spill the ball if the ball carrier is not squeezing. If he is, it will take a hard knock or kick, which strikes the ball directly, to pry it loose. Practice this every day until it becomes automatic, ear r Yu eS Simply dissolve Rinso (25 seconds). Put into the wash water Put in the clothes. c Soak two hour i or more. There is no excuse for failing to know Rule One. Now take the pexicil and write Rule Two—Learn to Kick. Football is a kicking game and will always be a kicking genie until they amputate the "foot." I have seen many games on university gridirons in which the aceumuiated science of a whole season of coachingand drilling hasgone far nau ht• inhe g big game of the season because the opposing team of hard fighters possessed a kicker with a mule's hind leg. Time and again the tide of offensive -running, plunging and passing— would draw near the goal line. Then, •livhen the opposing team tightened up and gained the ball on downs, this mule -foot man would haul off and drive the bail back to midfield,' wiping out all the hard-fought yards. between and forcing the well -drilled eleven to start all over again. Even a boy who is not physically strong enough to meet the extreme demands of scrimmage play can be a valuable asset to any team if he can kick. There is a place on every team for a good kicker. Kicking is an individual accomplish- ment, achieved only by long practice. The star punters of all the - university elevens are practicing every day, al- though they have been kicking' since boyhood. Hold the ball well out in front, about shoulder -high. As you drop it, swing at it with your kicking leg, but do not allow the knee on that leg to bend. By keeping the leg straight as the foot strikes the ball with full force you get the maximum power and therefore distance. Keep the back erect. The'common- est mistake is leaning forward. In punting you strike the long side of the ball with the top of the toes, the part of the foot between the tees and the instep. The tip of the toes delivers the-im- pact he-im pact in drop kicking, in which accur- acy is more important than in punt- ing. The punter aims for distance primarily. Distance is of no value to the drop kicker if he misses the goal posts. In drop kicking the knack consists of kicking the ball at the instant it touches the ground. The perfect drop kicker applies the toe to the bottom of the ball, exactly in the midline. The perfect dropkick has an end -over -end motion as it spins toward the.goal. posts. Most drop.kickers let the ball fall from the level of the waist line instead of shoulder -high. Another individual attainment in football is passing. Youcanpractice that when the crowd is not around. Passing requires the same practice at holding the bale as demanded by Rule One. Grip. the ball tight with fingers and thumb. The best grip is one in which the thumb holds one seam of the ball and the fingers grasp another. As you threw the ball it rolls off the fingers, which gives it the spiral motion: Now take your pencil again and write down Rune Three—Play Fair. We men who have played the game and graduated from the gridiron to be caches and officials come to appre- ciate that Rule Three should be writ- ten down and should prevail over all the other rules. , To -morrow, in the great game of ife, you are going to meet the men vho were year teammates and your pponents.
