reivers. They usually have good speed, agility and must be able to run. fake and catch passes. A halfback is used a lot on the outside running and for plays set for speed more so than pow el The fullback is usually a power runnel He is the guv who must get the short yardage through power, and yet i> expeeted to go hard if once in the ♦dear A fullback also is the last blocker for a passer and also must bp ready to catch a pass as he is also an eligible pass re reiver. ON OFFENSE IT IS THE ba< ks and the ends who s< ore the points, but the unsung heroes m the hne make it possible Football must bp a closely cooperative effort as one num letting down can put the hole in a team their opponents need ON THE DEFENSIVE SI! »E "1 the line each man here has a job to do also rather than to m-i taekh a ball earner In the hne, the tai k)«'s are*to move into tii opponents backfield, to rush the play and try to spoil it before it begins. They are the ones who hne to penetrate the offensive Inn* Also the ends are much the -tine although they have other dotß-x ag w«-l|. They crash tn to stop plays up the middle or gr’ a passer but -hould the play be run wide they are to turn the play in In other words they have t*» ppevwut the ball carrier from swinging wide, if thi y on force bun to turn m quick o the r< st of th* team can help mt i the stopping •>! the play THE LINEBACKERS HAVE . mulUtmUi of jolm T* begin with usually the middle line Li ki-i - dl the Icf.-n .ixc plavn.

\CROSS THE LINE FROM the offetwe we have ~, t up one of th, basic defenses, the mo t popuiai now with its many vat ;ation.> of < nurse, that has coni' mainy due to the strong passing game now employed by college, and professional team- This is (ailed a I-3-2-2 defense wlm h IS Hilly the basil line-up ah men jump m and out of the line, spread wide, fall off the line and do just about everything as the offensive patterns are being run

The defensive team Uses plays just like the offense, trying to outguess the offense at all times These linebackers go into the line a lot making a five, six or even seven man line on certain occasions. Sometimes they drop hack to help protect against passes and other times they red dog. or break through a given •-pot to really rush the offensive backs The corner linebackers al so have to help heavily on the end plays to keep the plays from getting daylight around the <miners Tl IE DEFEN S1 V E HALF hacks and safety men have i similar job to defend against passes Many teams use a zone system with each man responsible for a zone Others use the inan-to-man sytem when* a de tensive back is given a partu u lai man ta follow They must use good judgement whether to play the play, try to stop the pass <>r Irv foi an intercept ion Also it the first sign that th. play is a running play, they an to move up to make the tackles just like anyone else A go.*! defensive haltbock often makes plays behind the hne of sc rimmoge once he knows by the start of the play whethri it » a run or a pasw WK HOPE THIS BRIEF BVT simple explanation may offer a little help to those Who do not understand all ibout the. game We will try to further aid you through other btt^ of information about this game which is rapidly becoming a big part of the sport' world around us NOW IT IS ON ITS WAY Is j’Our rm <afe< ’ha-k it now Haste makes waste Speed Kills
