THE IN 1)1 AN AHOLIIS TIMES

Fili PLAYS ON GRID SHOW ITSJENSENESS In One Instanee Half Back Tackled Own Player Running for Touchdown. By “BO” M’MILLIN All-American Quarter Back Football is a spectacular game and many times thè crowd is amused by ihe freakish plays pulled by thè players. If this results in a break in favor of thè home team it pleases thè crowd, but if it should go agalnst them it will cause thè spectators to groan. In my time I have seen some ve-ry pec-uliar plays and some of them have placed our team in dangerous positions at thè time. In a recent arride I mentioned where our punter in one game mlssed tht ball entirely on an attempt to pttnt. In this same game there were several other peculiar plays. Early in our game agalnst West Virginia thè Mountaineere ti'ied thè o'd shoestring play where one man lays out near thè sidellne and a pass is thrown to him without a signal. But in this instanco it failed to work, as thè man receiving thè pass was thrown for a two-yard loss by our half back. -V aine of Smart l’layer Another play in that same game shows thè advantage of a smart football player over a slow thinker. West Virginia tried a trick play In which thè half back carrying thè ball starts in an end run and as he is tackled he will pass thè ball to another back who is behlnd him waltlng. Roberts, who was playing defensive end for us on that day, refused to tackle thè man but used his banda on him instead. Just as he was attempting to pjtss thè ball Red gave him a shove, causing a bad pass and consequently a fumble. Red scooped up thè ball and.ran thlrty yards before he was forced out of bounds. This broke up thè offensive drive of thè opposition and was largely regponsible for our winning thè game. Tackled His Own Man The spectators will sometimes wonder how thè players in(uiagj to kt-t-p so cool under lire in a game as strenuous as football. However, thè man in thè stantìa does not know all that goes on during that slxty minute. Even thè most experienced players will get exdted in th© heat of a game, espedally so In a hard one, when fiis team is about to score or be scored on for thè winning touchdown. I recali one game in which Centre was on thè fonali end of a 6 to 0 score. Wo had just made a pass to one of our ends, who. by a beautiful catch and run, carrier! thè ball to thè opponente" two yard line. WitT first down and only two to gn thè end \x ho had eaught thè pana rushed back to me and said-, “Throw me a pass, throw me a pass.” Ho was about as much exdted as a man oould be. If he had only stopped to think ho would have jmmvn it would be a bad play to try at that rime. On thè lirst play w© bucked thè hall over and kicked thè goaJ for thè winning point. Another funnv instane©, althougii not so amu&ing to mo at th© rime, happened in on© of our hardest games. On© of our men lntercepted a. pass and was runnlng for a touchdown with no one between him and th© goal ©xcept on© of our own men. You can lmagine our stirpi!*© when our own man tackled him and before he could get golng again thè other team was on hiin. This Ir all in th© game, though and it is st’ch plays as these that help to me ke football thè wonderful game that it is.
