J?. ■) KOKNAR Interference Specttaors love to see an end run. It’s a great thrill to see a favorite fleet-footed halfback tear off around I the end of the line with blinding speed. He is downed after a neat gain and some one in the stands highs, “He certainly can get through that line!" But spectators seldom notice the reason WHY he got through that line Seldom do they see two other backs running shoulder to shoulder just ahead of him to take out an opposing end or a wing halfback. Nor do they see a running guard dart out of the line to block another would-be tackler. It takes a speedy ball carrier to execute an end run. but grea'est of all It takes men who can run interference. Notre Dame has gained its great fame from being Able to produce men I who can run interference. It is a i sight worth seeing to see a Notre Dame halfback start on an end run. ■ His way is paved for him. In the accompanying picture this can be seen clearly. Each man on the team has something to do when a back starts on an end run or an off tackle smash. Some have a stationary block, while others | dart out of the line to block men in I the secondary defense. Usually from I two to four men run ahead of the ball carrier to pave th<» way. If the runner is tackled, it is because an interferer did not do his work in a thorough manner. A head and shoulder block.. Is very efficient when working at close quarters in the line. The cross body block is used to get men out in the open. The rules of the game prevent the interferer from using his hands, consequently he must use his body. A team with short, stocky guards is sure to have good interference. The, guards come out of the line to interfere at either end of the' line. A short, stocky man is the best built man for running interference. The coach usually picks his team so that several such men are included. Editor's note: Tomorrow Pat Page will discuss footwork.

Every minute the Yellow Jackets look bettei—and well—let's all get the winning desire—and we'll win Saturday. LITTLE IS BEING SAID in Auburn about Coach Zeke Young's gridiron aggregation. Zeke lost 11 or 12 boys by graduation last spting— but don't worry, he's tile kind of a fellow who will have a good fighting teum —and the only way to beat teams like that is to fight with them.
