Quick Punt Smart Play Speed Needed — i 1 . v w. ) • A S.l nuifcbrX I By SOL METZGER Those who saw the past two ArmyNavy games, saw what a wonderful play is the quick punt. Two years ago it led to the Navy's tying touchdown. Last season it gave the Navy the ball within striking distance of the Army's goal at the start of the game. California also uses the quick kick from its semi-punt formation, the formation from which come all manner of runs and passes. Speed is the keynote of its success. This kick is gotten off so fast that none are block ed. If the punt is to the right the quarterback, No. 6. rushes to the right to block. If to the left, the quarter runs to the left and blocks there. Let's see how it is worked to the right, as that is the way it is pictured in the accompanying sketch. IJttle protection is needed by the kicker on his left, so linemen Nos. 2, 3 and 4 and the right end. No. 1. break right down the field to cover the safety man. The others block temporarily. Then they are off to down the receiver should he escape the first wave of tacklers. On a quick kick he rarely does, as few opposing backs size it up in time to block off opponents rushing down field to make the tackle. The play is especially effective if the safety man is caught too close to the scrimmage line or the ball so placed as to pass him. A long, rolling kick recovered by the kicker's side under such conditions will gain as much as 60 yards. For more than twenty years Sol i Metzger has been identified with football. He has observed. In a leaflet, 1 “Diet and Training for Football,” he shows what a necesary part diet plays with succes on the gridiron. , Send stamped, addressed envelope, in care of this paper, and request this leaflet. o International College Has Enrollment Os 550 Fort Wayne, Sept. 15.—International college opened its fall term of school with a total enrollment <W 550 students, J.

CORN YIELD CUT BYHOTWEATHEH Lafayette, Ind., Sept. 15.—Dry weather in August knocked approximately 9.(100,000 bushels off the 1928 corn crop, according to the estimate made by M. M. Justin, crop statistician for the Department of Agriculture and I’m due University Agricultural Experiment Station. Tlie drouth hit the area along the Ohio River first and was felt later in many othe rsections ot the state, tains coming too late to prevent the shrinkage in the growing crop. The loss in Indiana was general throughout the country, the estimate for the U. S. being 100,000,000 bu. below August 1. prospects. Although threshing was still in progress, September reports indicated the largest oats crop ever harvested in the state. Barley was reported as somewhat lower, but much above last year due to the increased acreage. Buck wheat is below lust year because of the drouth. Soybeans showed little change during August, but cowpeas declined sharply also due to the dry weather in the south part of the state. Tobacco in the south part of Indiana also suffered a five per cent decline in August due t > the continued lack of rain but fruits showed little change. o To Award Life Saving Medals To Employees Establishment of a plan for the annual award of medals for life saving to employes of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company and other subsidiaries of the Midland Utilities Company was announced today.
