INSTALLMENT XX. OW we're inside their 20- yard line. We're in scoring territory. Our sequence is built up and we're about ready for our scoring play. The old ace in the hole. But Bertwell advises that we use & decoy play before call- ing our big number so that the other team is pulled out of position. So we give 'em the old off-tackle play once #gain. Now we're ready to shoot the | works. We call number 43, you know, the play that starts like an off-tackle, | to you. I'll leave this diagram here; you may want to look it over. I'll get it Thursday. Maybe you will be able to attend that session, though. I sure hope so. So long.” “Good-by, Paul. Thanks ever so much for coming over.” Thursday evening Chuck walked THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, just two minutes left to play. The score is 0-0. What would you call?” ““r...I...IthinkId call for a plunge through the center of the line.” Bertwell looked at him. “No, Coach, I think I'd call a pass y |in that situation.™ “Well & pass would be just the thing not to call. And as for the center buck, thai's out of the quee- tion . . . How often have I told you never to hit the center of the line as a last resort in trying to score? 1t's like trying to drive a man through two lines of men. The pass might be | considered, but it’s chances of suc- cess are small. The proper play there |is 4 try for a field goal. Three points will win the ball game, since the other over to the coaches’ quarters. “I mm]wmm hasn't really got enough time you fellows have gone over thoroughly the material handed out at the last session,” Coach Bertwell said a mo- ment after Chuck, Stevens and the to score. a couple of reliable kickers. needed six or seven roints, would be different. Then an off tackle And you know we have If we things develops into a reverse play and then | third and fourth string quarterbacks play or a wide trick play, or a pass winds up with a short forward pass | to the weak side. | “When Corbett starts off-tackle they | get set for the regular ofl-tnckle} smash. They've seen it before and | know how to stop it. Then as the| line charges to meet it they see Sal- inger take the ball from Corbett and | start hot-footing it the other way.| ‘They know it's the reverse. Their backs come tearing up to head nim | off. They've been fooled on that once | before and don't want to be duc soup for it again. Now their backs having come up to stop Corbett, are out of position, and he shoots a pass to Bloomgarten, who has delayed at | right end. The play catches them flat- footed or asleep and we score.” “Wonderful!” shouted ‘Chuck. “No kidding, that's superb. I can see all sorts of possibilities under such an ingenious method of approach. Boy! | I can hardly wait 'til I get out there again and send that second team | through its paces against the varsit; “Second team, bunk, Chuck, you'll have me out of my job in no time once you get back. I'm sure of that. And what's more, I'm glad you will. You deserve it.” “Thanks, Paul, but I can't say I agree with you.” “There were a few other things he told us that might be worth remem- bering. He said the moment we go out on the field before a game we should look around. See where the sun is and use it to our advantage on kicks. If the sun’s strong, kick often and tell our punters to boot 'em high. | 50 the opposing quarterback will have the sun in his eves and drop the ball. | Then he said we should know which way the winc is blowing. If it's strong and we have 1t at our backs, kick long low punts, or even high ones. We'll gain on the exchange, aided by the wind. Long passes are O. K. then, too. And if the field is wet, if it's raining | or the grounds are soggy, look around for the drvest spots and run our| strongest plays on them. Keep the team on firm ground. And kick to the worst, places so the opposing pilot will have his hands full trying to run 'em back. I believe he also told us to use only indirect passes on rainy davs. Pleniy of line bucks and reverse plays. | On the reverses our men know where they're going and the other team doesn’t, consequently they commit themselves, and we should be able to make ground on them.™ “He sure piled the dope into you, didn't he?” “I'll say. He even had us play a theoretical foot ball game with him. using & big chart for the field and checkers as men. We had to call| the play in turn for the situation he | concocted. He'd say third down, 8 to | g0 on the opposing team’s D-yard; line, the game almost over and- your | fullback out on his feet. Then we'd try to answer by saying what we| thought was the correct thing to do. ‘We pulled plenty of crocks, at least I did. But Bertwell was mighty decent about it. He realized we had never hal anything like that before. Told us plenty we had no idea about. “He emphasized this point, too: Don't be afraid to use a play that is working. Keep it going so long as you're gaining with it. But don't use the same back more than twice in succession. And don't kill off your backs by running them to death. Spread the task of ground-gaining around as much as possible. He said never be afraid to kick or pass on first down if the occasion called for one or the other of those plays. You know, if their backs were up close, or the quarterback was day-dreaming or pickin' daisies back there, Boot it over his head. “The last thing he gave us was ® list of things to remember. He sald quarterbacks must always keep their chins up. Their attitude reflects itself in the team. The team looks to the pilot to guide it successfully. Therefore, never show any uncertain- ty in choice of plays. Pep up the players with your voice, your manner and your spirit. Keep things moving. Be calm under stress of difficulties. Be inspiring in trying situations. Never hesitate. Think ahead on every play and know what that play will be be- fore the team lines up. Keep an eye on the defense. Watch for players out of position. Use good judgment. Hi. at the weak spots in the defend- ing line. Build up toward a scoring play. Be aggressive. Be alert. Be master of every situation. Remember & team that won't be licked can't be licked. See, I've jotted them down. You can copy them off if you wish.” “I'd like to, Paul. Mighty fine of you to come over here and give me sll this stuff.” “Not at all, Chuck.” “What's Bertwell's attitude toward Malbern? Does he think they're easy?” “Not on your life. He said the scouts reports show they've got a strong outfit. Plenty of passes. Good kicking team. And a bunch of wild men when it comes to tackling. He thinks we’'ll have a busy afternoon with them. He's serious, too. Gordon Blair and Bill Fosner scouted them. ‘They sent back rafts of good reports. Bort of got Bertwell worried. I think I'll be going now, Chuck.
