they can furnish him a, collar to

has no doubt furnished many a j!
life.
GAS: Anybody found lying back
with their eyes closed, if indoors
should instantly arouse the sue- |
picion of gas. Look and sse if
there is a leaky stove or a politi

planned by Norton before the train
ing period in over.
According to Coach Norton, the
team has taken aa excellent hold
on the fundamentals of blocking,
which have been xtressed the past
week, and the next few days will
be devoted to the fundamentals of
tackling. The purpose of the tack
ling exercises will be to teach the
players to do more than merely*
stop the ball carrier. In the words
of Hubbard, 270 pound all-Amati-
can tackle, M the coaches intend to
teach the boys not only how to
stop the ball carrier the quickest,
most efficient way, but alao to
teach them how to tackle in such
a fair hard way that the ball car
rier will feel like running the oth
er way the second time the tackier
comes toward him." *
After spending the next few
days on tackling, the coaches plan
to finish up the training period by
running and passing plays, prac
ticing on punting, showing forma
tions of returning kicks, and in
troducing a few more plays. In
the short time of training, only a
few complete plays will be brought
to the team, but the remainder will
be given to the team at the be-
ginning of regular training next
fall.
