The head-on tackle is the one in which the runner ts met by the tackler coming straight at him The tackler should approach his man low with his weight well forward and h ould: no higher than the runne knee. At the instant he makes his tackle he should drive into the man with a pow- erful leg drive and meet the runner just above or below the knee. The tackler should grip firmly, and, if possible, carry the runner back. The men backing up the line are upon to make this form of tackle most often The side tack! the one in which the tackler meets the runner at an angle. In these tackles, the runner is either approaching the tackler’s left or right shoulder When the ap- proaching the left shoulder the tackler should keep his weight well down and time his speed in such a way that he will intercept the run- ner and drive his body across his path directly in front Thoroughness the Characterizes every transact our meth n, to Check Are ject Invited. dially Peoples Savings Bank SECOND AVE.
