L L DO THIS NOT THIS Few words are necessary to explain the pictures above. Just jmagine a recumbent figure before these runners and then make your guess as to which ruunner would step_over him, which trip and fall._ Yet simple little points such as keeping the head up so you can see when carrying the ball have to be drilled info all-American stars for several seasons before effectively. The biz problem is fo have them hit a line with their eyes up and looking forward. Invariably— blindly at the hole. stumble over opponents or teammates who happen to be thrown in their way, and they fall to choose the right course once they get through the line. Given two backs of the same power at line bucking, the one who uses his eyes will gain four times as much ground in the same number of rushes as the one who rushes blindly (head down) at the point the signal calls for.
