Answered by A. ALONZO STAGG Head foot ball coach, University of Chicago. “The Grand Old Man” of foot ball, who has coached many champlonship teams at Chicago dur- ing the past quarter century. * %k Xk %k The dummy has two especial use: during mid or advanced season.| One is its use as a penalty for play- ers who seem to be shirking a bit in scrimmage and signal practice, Ten minutes with the dummy will do a world of good in getting these fellows back up to par, The other use of the dummy is with individual players who seem to have lost the knack of tackling hard and low. They should be given a session with the dummy under the personal di- 1ection of one of the coaches who is a tackling specialist. (Copyright, 1923, Assoclated Edltors.) How Foot Ball Is Played BY SOL METZGER. E “come-back” of an apparent- Iy beaten foot ball team at the end of the first half is due to any one or all of many reasons. Often an eleven will fail to key itseli to the task and play poor foot ball in the first half. The opposition thus appears to have the game well in hand. When the intermission comes and the attention of the team is called to its weak and spiritless play it is not difficult to arouse its mem- bers to a high pitch. They will 1 erally play their heads off in the second half, often winning an apparently lost game. a “come-back” on Princeton in 1908, Penn on Cornell in 1902.

THE QUESTION. ‘Why do so many teams, after playing poor foot ball in the first half, play so well in the second? 1 have noticed many remarkable “come-backs” in the second half, when it seemed as though this team was clearly Yale pulled such Nearly every college has such 2 win to its credit. Another reason for the *come-back’ | in the second half may be that the team which showed so well in this half has exhausted itself by poor di- rection of its play. Frequently, the lighter eleven wili let the heavier eleven pound itself to exhaustion® in | the first half by continually kicking the ball to it. " "We know of one ex- ample when such tactics were fol- lowed even to the extent of allowing the big team to score three times. It had exhausted itself in these threa long drives. In the second half the lighter team ran rings around it, as its men wero in tip top shape for dolng €. Frequently a team beaten in the first half by a better eleven will be- come so frenzied as to play well be- yond its ability in the second half. Hard, spirited foot ball of this kind will ‘overcome many pounds and a somewhat superior knowledge of the game by an opposing eleven. Foot ball frequently {s a matter of out- fighting a better team. This has often been done in the second half. Often, too, a team will learn that a differ- ent’attack than was used in the first half will gain ground. The employment of such an attack sometimes causes the “come-back.” Copyright, 1973, 3d Army Corps at ( | dcesa't | the tr find a stronger foe | Griffith the Marines at “ull squ foot bail ga today mp Me 1sive started training campaig titi Al ies, they are r I combinations in good ¢ inor injt riv battle that should prove vastly e expected to throng the stad rcduled in Washington. um for the great Head Surl interfere with tor believes in and his pupils | < wher Coach Alexander let vthing ning of th; Army m uous 1 D ps e, but , and the Doug role of spec! participants in one of the ages of the omorrow the coaches | scrimmage the teams ag ginning Wednesda be given to smoothn the execution of formation plays, | while Line Coach Fritz Breidster will | work with his already well equipped | set of forwards. { With an unbroken record of vi torles the Areaites are not counting the! eggs before they are hatched, but expect to meet the Marines on at least even terms.
