KIRKLAND STARTS CAGING PRACTICE — Kangaroos Have Bright Prospects; Former Laneaster Star Is Recruit i , Early indications are that the Kirkland high school basketbal team will be one of the leading contenders for 1 district honors this year. That school, which recently completed the erection of a new gymnasium, already has start- , ed practice and the new material, combined with the veterans who are back in school this year, gives every Indieati n that the Kangaroos will be in the "money" this season. Virgil Bowman, formerly of Lancaster township, has moved to Kirkland township with ills father and will be eligible to play basketball this season. Bowman was one of the star Lancaster players last year. Other material available includes: Feck Arnold. Walter Meyers, Luther Arnold. I’ete Gerber and Dick Arnold. Several freshmen also appear to be likely candidates for the first team. Coach Bill Bryan is drilling the candidates. o • ♦♦♦eeeeeeee ♦ BASEBALL STANDINGS « National League W L Pct.

In an icatlv game with South Carolina the Georgians returned two kick-offs tor touchdowns. The plan used was the one Pop Warner had taught the gr-. : Pitt teams DeHart was a member of. Pop is good at figuring out big break ■ Ike this. Incidentally no play is so hard to scout. For several years lit , rivals failed to diagnose the system Pop used. Final y we worked it out ami I set it down here. It’s a world beater. . The scheme is based on sound football principles. Teams kickingon spread their eleven men at equal intervals across the field and all are taught ■ to run straght down the field. They converge in a semi-circle around the receiver. If the kick off is very high, and few are. Ibis can lie done unless f ank men at one end of the line are disposed of. the runner has a good the rceeiviug team cuts them down. But if the kick is not high and i ► chance of breaking free. • Warner’s trek (see diagram) was to have one half and guard take out I I No. 1. one end and tackle cut down No. 2. and the center and quarter dispose of No. 3. The other members of the team made interference for the receiver, a’l driving for the gap to the right. In taking out these men they were double-teamed as shown in the • illustration. Fop example, as No. 1 came down, the ha’f and guard would drive at him from opposite sides, one Ugh and one low. 1 1 Copyright, 1927, Publishers Syndicate.

Watch both of these and make them carefully. Consider the action on each side of the ball as a whole and make both halves equal. A good thing to avoid is to not have your right elbow sticking up into the air on the back stroke. It should conte in towards your body. Feel the whipping of the clubhapd with the hands acting as a fulorum at the time of hitting. It used to make me very angry when I could not hold myself steady until the club came around to the ball; instead I always moved my body forward with much disaster. Imagine that you are getting a crack the whip affect. Remember the club must swing back until checked by the left arm socket and throughout you must let the clubhead use its weight. Here is a golden phrase: A s iff left arm on the back stroke and p broken follow through. Feel around in the air for the right course soy the hands. The thought of hitting with the mannerism of a flicked clubbead, is a good one. The sue cessful player puts everything he has * into the shot at the right time and this includes the right shoulder and * the right side. The elubhead” should f pass the hands at the quarter mark ■ of the downward stroke. If you are ? swinging so that the stroke is a short s rush you should swing farther back. To get away from pushing your hands ’ in ahead of the ball swing back i far:her. Try to take it easy; good ’ rhythm cannot be too fast. Should I the shots seem to float over to the I right, hit them with more snap and ' slap. Copyright John F.
