All-.illlcrican Fullback. 1925.
Knowing the intent of the opposi-
tion is quite an advantage in any
form of sport.
When i joined the St. Louis
Browns as a member of the pitching
staff 1 marveled at the ease with
which certain veteran players could
call ewry ball pitched by the op-
posing tulrlcr.
Sitting on the bench, I would hear
some one remark:
"lit-'s coming back with a curve."
or "Git ready for the fast one."
I wondered. at the time. if these
same players could call the style of
each ball 1 was about to pitch. I
soon learned they could: also that
oppoltini: players could turn the trick
Just as easily.
It was pointed out to me. that
nine out of every ten pitchers af-
fect a certain peculiarity with each
pitch. in throwing a curve they go
throlzsh certain mannerisms that
are missing when a fast ball is the
signal,
And as I thought it over. I realized
in that sense baseball was no differ-
ent from football. Tipping off plays
is a fault that a majority of foot-
ball players have. particularly when
they are to handle the ball.
Nearly every offensive back will
give the play.away when he intends
to carry the oval. Careful study of
his style will invariably disclose a
weakness that can be used to great
advantage in breaking up plays.
There is a star hplfback on the
Pacific Coast. still playing the game
(for that reason I will not name
him). who was mighty easy for the
Stanford eleven to stop.
In scouting the team. one of our
coaches discovered that any time
the player in question was to carry
the ball he never looked in the di-
rection of the purist-r or the bull.
However. “iltll he “iiN not the
ball carrier he was always intent on
the actions of the passer and tile
movements of the lulll. ill trying
to deceive he laid lllmsvlt‘ open. It
was an easy ninth-r to enllulltratc
our defense on lulu.
The stance. of the back is often
the medium that tips off his lment.
Most players shift lilo feet when
about to carry the hall. The stance
is different from that when playing
defensive or taking part ill the in-
tertercncc.
Often on a right formation. the
player about to carry the ball will
have the left hand on the ground
and vie verso on a loft formation.
An un'onsclolls shifting of the
eyes also sometimes reveals tllc
ball carrier. lnditldual mannerisms
when about to run with the ball are
a decided handicap.
It is well to look one way at all
times. regardless of the. formation.
and use the same hand as a start-
ing medium. That eliminates to a
certain extent possible tipoffs.

TIPPING OFF PLAYS FAULT 0F MANY
Tile Norwalk lligh school football
team traveled to the K. of C. lot in
Danbury, yesterday afternoon. and
after 40 minutes of real good play-
ing the final whistle blow with the
game in a scoreless tie with the fast
llllnbury High school eleven. The
teams were evenly matched and
both played a fine game. Despite
the fact that the score seems to tell
that there was no action, the game
was one of the most interesting in
the history of the schools.
When the ball was in possession
of the Danbury team they plunged
down the field and threatened to
score man ytimes. but the locals
would hold like a stone wall when
they were in danger and the Dan-
burians could not score. The same
was true with the locals however.
They had chances to score several
times but when a touchdown seemed
evident they lost the ball on downs
do to the fine defensive line of the
home team.
The two captains of'the teams
'starred. Captain Knox McGowan
dill fine work for the locals both in
plunging and in tackling. l-l'is ilnc
puniing sent the ball out of danger-
ous territory for the locals more
than once. Captain "Beans" Part-
ridge of the Danburians entered the
game with four ulcerated teeth in
his mouth but despite this fact. he
played a line garlic and his plunges
brought the ball up the field for the
llatters and they nearly scored in
the third quarter.
Andrew Czibere started the game
at left halfback for tile locals and
he did fine work. In the first two
games of the season, Captain Mc-
Gowan bad to do all the work but
in yesterday‘s tussle Czlbere helped
McGowan and he deserves much
credit for some of his fine tackles
and plunges.
Eddie Charlott. Steve Hadlk and
Jackie Lewis also did well for the
locals. Chariott and Hadlk starred
for their plunges and tackles while
Lewis gained fame through his
breaking through and tackling.
Jackie went to Coach Bean Monday
afternoon. and told the coach that
he wanted to be a quarterback but
the coach saw better possibilities of
an end in Lewis and let him prac-
tice there for the three days with
the result that he made the team.
He should prove a valuable man
with the additional experience he
learns.
One day Coach Perry Bean. who
took the squad of green material
and made it what it is for the Green
and Whiters. said "Whatever goes
in must come out." He put a great
deal of football into the team and
it sure did come out yesterday. In
the third quarter when Danbury had
the ball on Norwalk's eight-yard
line. did the locals become discour-
aged and give up? No. they broke
through and tackled the next two
runners for huge losses.
In the fourth quarter. Norwalk
was in possession of the ball and
they kept going right after the
Danburian goal pests. Captain Mc-
auction rooms.
Gewan gained on end runs and he

tossed several forward passes. llilly
Miller received two of these for a
total gain of about thirty yards.
However. the Danbury jinx got after
the locals and when victory seemed
evident the final whistle blow and
saved Danbury from defeat .
Kenneth Bennett, the new end of
Coach Bean. played a good game
and always had his eyes open. He
recovered two fumbles in tile sec-
ond quarter and saved the locals
from a touchdown when be tackled
several Danburlans. Henry Plait also
did well and made several tine
tackles.
The team that represented the
Norwulk High school at Amusement
Park Saturday afternoon, when they
were defeated by the fast West lla-
ven High school, looked for worst
than the team which fought Danbury
yesterday. The Green and Whiters
fought hard throughout the entire
game and are beginning to show
signs of the fine coaching Perry
Bean put into them. The locals will
play the Greenwich High school
eleven at Amusement Park Friday
afternoon and if they play the same
kind of a game they put up against
the Hatters, the "Millionaires" will
find that they have a tough hunch
on their hands. The visitors will
have practically the same team as
they had last year. still the locals
can beat them if they make. up their
minds to do so and go right ahead
and play football.
