The Kentucky Hgh School Athlete Offcal Organ of the Kentucky Hgh School Athletc Assocaton VoL J - No. 1 SEPTEl\fBER 1938 $1.00 Per Y ear Fron1 the Presdent's Offce Vve have already receved a number of nqures as to when the new Rule V went nto effect. P rncpal!; want to know whether an athlete who transferred from one school to another last sprng, wthout a correspondng change n the address of hs pa1 ents, w ll be nelgble for 36 weeks. The answer s that the new rule apples only to those who transferred after July 1st. The cases of thoje who transferred before that date w ll be judged by the old rule. Ths rulng follows a precedent establshed over a long perod of yea1 s an d s n a ccord wt h secton 6 of Ar tcle V of t h e Consttuton whch defnes the o ffc a l year o the Assocaton. A n athlete who transferred last sp rng wthout a correwondng change n the address of hs parents and before completng the course n the school from whch he transferred wll be nelgble durng the f rst eghteen weeks of hs enrollment n t he n ew school. An athlete who has changed schools snce July 1st, wthout a correspondng change n the address of hs pa rents, and be fore completng the cour ~ e n the school from whch he trans fe.r red, wll be nelgble for 36 weeks n the sports whch are mantaned n the school from whch h e transferred. The tern athlete as here used refers to o ne who has repj esented hs school n an nte1 -sclwol contest. vve have many requests [or rulngs on the elgblty of playe rs who transfer 10 another hgh sc hool a fter the one whch they have attended has been dscontnued. T he answer to th s queston s found n note 3 under Rule VT of the By-Laws. t s as fo lows : "vvhen a hg h school s dscontnued the elg ble players there do not Jose ther elgblty when th ey enter ano;her hg h school'' Ths has been nterpreted to m ean that a st udent w l ~ose hgh school has been dscontnued m<ty enter t he hgh school of hs choce wthout loss of e lg hl t ~ even t houg h he may be drected to attend a spec f e hgh school and even t hough transportaton s provded to enabk hm to attend a specfc hgh school The clear mplcaton of Rule V s that t was adopted to prevent the 11n necessary t ransfc r of a studen t from one hgh school to another wthout a correspondng change n t he arldress of hs parents. HoweYer. \\'hen a school s dscontnued the t ra nsf,>; s made nece::sary a nd, t herefore. can not b ~ penalzed under 1 he rules. vvhencver a transjcr s madt' n ecessary by the dscontnuance o[ a school the st u- Fron1 the Secretary's Offce vvthn a ew days, prncpals of the memher schools of t he K. H. S. A. A. wll receve staternents for the 1938-39 annual d ues. T hs year, due to the htl:t that the assocaton s n excellent f nancal ~hape, dues have beecn set a't Jnc dollar. The renstat<:ment ee for falure to remt dues before Octol:er h t s s ll $2.50. however. Last year 4l)proxmately sel'enty t ve schools were caught by the dead-lne. Your secretary hopes that e very school wll pay ts dues before October b t. f sojle a1 e n eglgent, the $2.50 "fne" must be added, as the secretary has no power under the consttuton to wave the rules. n some cases, the letters contanng t he blue statement forms have probably gon~ astray n the mals. Ths :: unfortunate. The frst let ter s always addressed "Prncpal, Blank H gh Sc hool." t has been found that practcally all of th.e letters wll arrve at ther true destnaton f ths method of addressng s used. A large percentage of last yea r's malng lst s now ncorrect, due to the ma ny changes n prncpalshp. Due to the a ddtonal amount of clercal work nvolved, t w ll be apprecated f schools wll not send n ther clues untl they receve ther statelllents. and that th ey take great care n f llng out ths blue form correctly. The nformaton called for s very mportant for the records of the assocaton. A g reat amount of redstrctng h as recently been done by th~ Board of Control, whch wll make t necessary for each prncpal to consult o ne of the new booklets to get the correct number of hs dst rct and regon. Numerous changes were made n the K. H. S. A. A consttuton. bv-laws. and tournament r ules at t he last a nnual meetng. All of th ese changes wll be gven n t he new booklet whch wll soon he 111aled to member schools. The Board o( Contro.l asks every school offcal to rnake t a pont o[ honor to know t he r ules and to carrv them out to the letter of the law. as well as the sprt. dent has the rg ht under a Wl~ ll establshed precedent to choose the new school whch s most convenent to h m. The matter of convenence n th;; case s left entrely to t he judgment of the pupl and hs parents. One of t he r ules adopted at the annual meetng last Aprl provdes that h e person responsble for the mmedate tranng o-f a team sha ll be a m ember of t he reg ular staff of the school. t has been held that the head coach must he a member of the faculty hut, \\'l'l1 the approval o the su perntendent and prncpa l. h e may use assstants who are not m embers of the reg-ular staff' of the school. The Board prefers. however. to beleve that all assstant coaches wll be members of the regula r staff as soon as schools can ad ju ~:t ther present teacher con1 racts.

They were By-Law XXV, whch provdes for footha11 and basketball clncs for the tranng of offcals, and By-La w XXVJT, whch requres regstraton wth the se~ r e tary of all football and basketball offcals used b) K. H. S. A. A. lllember schools, begnnng wth the c urrent football season. Kentucky thus jons the ranks of the other sta tes whch are regsterng and tranng ther offcals. There s no reason to beleve that the offcatng n Kentucky s much worse, f any, than that of neghborng states. Kentucky offcals probably know the rules just as well, are just as honest and conscentous, and have just as keen eyesght as other offcals. lnfortunately, howe, er, there are many nterpretatons whch may be put on the rules of sports, most of them, perhaps, techncally correct. Lack of unformty n these n terpretatons s responsble for much of the squabblng and unnecessary argument whch have taken place on Kentuck-y grdrons and basketball courts n the past. The regstraton of offcals and the settng up of clncs s an attempt by the assocaton to work toward the goal of unformty of rules nterpretaton. t s a goal whch can never be fully reached because of the human clement. t s a worthy one to seek, however. Page Three T he annual offcal's fee of one dollar n each sport wll be used to help defray the expenses of the clncs. The applcaton card, whch must be endorsed by four persons who are famlar wth the applcant's ablty, may be secured from the secretary. The applcaton must be receved before September 25th for the one dollar rate to preval. After that date, the fee wll be $1.50 for one sport, and $2.50 for two. Each offcal s expected to attend at least one clnc annually n the sport n whch he s regstered. All offcals who enroll for the 1938-39 school year wll he known as regstered offcals. n the fall of 1939 offcal$ wll be placed n two classes, regstered and approved. Approved offcals wll be those who have been regstered for at least one year, have attended the clnc!or the year n whch approval s asked, have attaned a rnark of at least 80% on an examnaton n the rules of play, and have worked as an offcal n at least three football games and/or sx basketball games d urng the prevous year. n 1940 a thrd classffcaton known as certfed offcals wll be used. Certfed offcals s ha ll have fve years ex per-ence n the sport n whch certfcaton s requested. The Board of Control wll protect both offcals and schools aganst volatons of contracts. Only wrtten contracts wll be condered. New contract forms have been prnted and wll be sent to member schools wth ther other supples. These forms wll also be sent to offcals f they ask for them. Snce every member school wll have a supply of these blanks, and snce most contracts wll orgnate at the schools, t s thought unnecessary to send a large supply of blanks to the offcals. Ths s the year for Kentucky Sl.!perotendents, prncpals, and coaches to round up the offcals n ther respectve ctes and countes and nsst that they attend the clncs. Ths s the year to round up propeetve-off cal ma teral an d start tranng t. T hs s the year to refu se to employ any offcal who does not have hs regstraton card. Ths s the yea1 to prove that Kentucky can tran ts offcals as wen as any other state. Ths s the crucal year n ths phase of K. H. S. A A. work.

Page Four The KENTUCKY HTGH SCHOOL ATHLETE A Short Hstory of the Kentucky H. S. A. A. T he Kentucky Hgh School Athletc A~ socato n was organzed n Lousvlle n Aprl, 1917, when a small group o men met by appontment to dscuss the regulaton of nter-hgh school contests n athletcs. The adopton of the consttuton and by-laws was left to the Board of Control consstng of M. E. Lgon of Lexngton, W. 0. Hopper of Mt. Sterlng and John H. vvay of Carrollton. Ths Board perfected the organzaton on September 22nd of that year. Although the secretary n hs frst letter declared that the hgh schools had long felt the need of the nfluence of such an assocaton, only eghteen schools were suffcently nterested to jon t. Enthusasm for the Assocaton was stll lackng n the second year of ts lfe when only twenty-one school; pad ther dues of $1.50 to the Assocaton. The secretary complamed n January, 1919, that the Assocaton was "not makng a bt of progress" and that "no new m~mbers and only fve or sx of the old members have pad ther dues ths year. am gong to try them agan n a few days." Later he wrote: "The prntng bll s somethng ferce-about $30.00. For the welfare of the Assocaton we ought to have 25 or 30 members." Today, the Assocaton has almost 600 members a nd completely controls hg h school athletcs n the S ta te. ts annual meetng s the la rgest sectonal meetng of the Kentucky Educaton Assocaton, and legslaton enacted at ths meetng affects nearly every hgh school n the Commonwealth. The reason for the Assocaton's growth n membershp and prestge s not dffcult to understand. ts orgnal purpose was to develop and regulate hgh school athletcs by the adopton of unform rules of elgblty and by makng the prncpal responsble for ther observance, by mprovng the status o f the coach, and by the promoton o f dstrct and state tournaments. T he Assocaton's program appealed to thoughtful school m en who saw n organzed athletcs a most powerful agency for the formng of character. W th a state-wde assocaton supportng them, pr:jcpals welcomed the opportunty to accept full re sponsblty for the athletc program, to drect t n the nterest vf bona fde hgh school students and on a bass common to all schools. How well they have succeeded s attested by the fne sportsmanshp, clean play, and frendly rvalry that preval n our nter-school contests, and by the general observance of elgblty rules and contract oblgatons. T he f rst basketball tournament held under the auspces of the Assocaton was conducted by Centre College n March, 1918. Centre College, by the way, was the poneer n Kentucky n conductng basketball tournaments. t had already conducted two successful tournaments n 1916 and 1917. Prof. F. L. Raney of Centre was the frst tournament manager. The correspondence wth the offcers of the Assocaton ndcates that he had consderable dffculty n gettng newspaper publcty fo r the tournament. Appa~ently the schools themselves were not nterested. Two weeks before the tournament only th ree schools had defntely entered ther teams. A few others entered, however, before play began. The referees of ttv: frst tournament were Dr. J ohn ]. Tgert, now presdent of the Unversty of Florda, Robert T. Hnton, popular Georgetown offcal, and Prof. T. G. G; cnert, basketball coach at Centre at that tme These men served wthout pay. whle the college absorljed the defct n the entertanment expenses for the teams. The tournament was moved to the U nversty of K en tucky the followng year and has been held there annually snce 1919. Durng the frst few tournan1ents, teams stayed n the fraternty homes and the recepts were not suffcent to remburse the Unversty for the cost of ths entertanment. Each team pad ts own travelng expenses. The Unversty provded the trophes and granted free use of the gymnasum. Mr. S. A. Boles, of the Unversy staff, ably drected the tournaments or the Assocaton from 1919 to 1937. n recent years the State tournament has been one of the outstandng sportng events n Kentucky. No longer are teams nvted to attend. They must contest through two tournaments for the prvlege of enterng the State tournament. Capac.ty crowds watch the games, thousands lsten to the rado broadcasts, whle th~ best sports wrters are assgned by the daly pre3s to report for an nterested publc the skll and colorulness of the several teams and to pass judgment upon the merts of every blast from the referees' hom. The 1938 tournament was managed by Mr. Ted Sandford, the Assocaton's secretary. t was the mo~t successful fnancally n the hstory of the Assocaton, the proft beng approxmately $5500 after ;~ necessary expenses for offcals and the sxteen teams had been pa d. --- -:---- RESULTS OF THE STATE NTERSCHOLASTC TRACK MEET Ma y 21, 1938 MLE RUN (Record-4 :35.6 - saacs, Berea Acad.)

Page Sx The KENTUCKY HGH SCHOOL ATHLETE The Purchase and Care of Football Equpn1ent By ROME RANKN, Head Coach, Eastern State Teachers College, Rchmond, Kentucky One of the most mportant phases of the athletc program s the purchase and care of athletc equpment. Snce ;;o defnte standards for the purchase and care of football equpment have been establshed t s the purpose of ths artcle to ad n establshng such standards. n consderng the s ubject, t must be realzed that the same basc sklls and techncs should be used n purchasng athletc equpment as arc used n any other busness. Changes and mprovement n equpment, the varety of raw materals used n ther constructon, ndvdual desgnng to meet the requrements of varous coaches, the d emand of the spectators that thct favorte team be as well dressed as any opponent have unted to make the purchase oj equpment a bewlderng affar. Cheap equpment s more expensve n the long ntn than the better grades because t has to be replaced sooner and does not have a foundaton so that t can be repared. Good equpment properly servced s the best n vestment that a school can make. Clean, neat, well-ftted equpment has a drect psychologcal effect on athletes n that t makes them feel more lke playng the game. Many mnor and even serous njures can be prevented by b uyng good equpment. A good prncple to keep n mjnd when buyng materal s "'maxmum protecton and mtmmum weght." The bulk of busness n athletc equpment s carred on, r.ot wth the large nsttutons where a coach or puro:hasng agen t has tme to study and experment wth equpment before passng judgment on t, but wth small schools where coaches supervse several sports. Sales of a majorty of equpment are made to these schools through hearsay, that s, tbrough the exchange v{ deas and opnons concernng ccr tan tems of t'<lupment. Because proper servce has not been avalable, good tems are often condemned as beng of nferor qualty. Three mportant factors should be consdered n buyng materal: (1) qualty, (2) servce, (3) prce. One should usc the followng gudng prncples for purchasng: 1. Equpment purchased should conform to specfcatons; t should be offcal and should be sutable for the servce for whch t s ntended. 2. P rces should be consstent wth market condtons. Cut prces are to be avoded. 3. Purchasng should show consderaton of the need of all actvtes. 4. Every purchase should show that the nterests of tht> school have been preserved. 5. Every purchase should be made on regulated forms and n such manner as wll nsure legalty of contract, prompt delvery and payments, and suffcent management. Orders for equpment should be placed several months before t s to b e delvered. Ths g ves the manufacturer t;me to make any specal artcles and also to employ hs men the "year 'round." T hs may result n better materal at a better prce. Defectve materal should be r et urned at once. Dscounts and specal conce~s cns should be a voded as these a re often only "bat." E qupment should be bought from a frm wth a relable reputaton. Orders for equpment should be made on a trplcate requston, each sheet beng a dfferent color. These sheets should he dstrbuted as follows: one to the local bu ~ n ess manager, one to the stock manager, one to th e. manufacturer. The followng standards are gven for the purchase of specfc equpment: Wllams and Hughes, Athletcs n Educaton. Phladelpha: Vv. B. Saunders Company. SHOES-Detachable cleats are most desrable for they make the shoe more effcent by renderng cleats changeable to meet condtons at. game tme. They are also easly altered f worn or broken. The cleat stud and fxture should be made of non-rustable steel whch wll make the cleat easy to remove and quckly nterchangeable. The cleat should screw onto the sole o f the shoe. The type of last should be consdered a s to the desgn of the shoe, and the materal from whch t he shoe s m ade. Comparson should be made a s to the cost of dfferent shoes and the usablty of the same. A hgh top shoe s preferable. The type of nnerlnng and servcablty _ of shoe strngs a re mportant. The problem of rebuldng the shoe should also be consdered. HOSE- The hose should be footless. They should be of medum weght wool wth a lght weght wool top. A wool or heavy cotton short sock should be used. PANTS- The shell type s more e ffcent snce the shell wears faster than the pads. The shell can be replaced. The game shell should be of fy-tex. The practce shell should be of eght ounce duck. The shell should be orm-f.ttng, cut hgh n the back and have a ventlated crotch; th.s part of the shell wears more rapdly than any other part and t should be made so that t can easly be replaced. An nsert should be provded at the knee for ft. H p pads should be made o f foam r ubber and fber, ftted to protect the hp bones, tal bones, and spne. These pads should not restrct the movement of the player. A lght weght fber sde-swpe pad should be used. The knee guard should be made of foam rubber, the outsde covered wth lght weght leather. The pad should buckle below the knee to prevent njury. J E RSEY- The jersey should be made of durene or worsted. lt should be of the double elbow and
for SEPTEMBER, 1938 shoulder, adjustable supporter type. The numbers on t he fro1t should be sx nches n heght, whle those on t he back should be eght nches n heght. All numbers should be of drll cloth o r satn and they should be sewed wth a chan sttch. The sze of the jersey s very mportant. A whte quarter-sleeve cotton undershrt should be used wth the jersey. SHOULDET{ PAD- T hs pece of equpment should be made of foa m rubber. t sho uld be of the lght weght cantlever type. t s mportant that ths pad provde for the complete protecton of the shoulder bone and the procesl HELMET-Helmets should be lght n weght. All helmets should be provded wth a fber crown a nd wde cupped ears. They should be leather lned, well ventlated, padded wth foam r ubber, and should be provded w th rolled edges. T h e sze s very mportant. After good equpment s p urchased, the next mportant consderaton s ts care. The stock room should be large en0\1gh to keep all athletc materals. T he room should not be too hot or damp. A hot or damp room wll have some detrmental effect on certan knds of goods, such as r ubbcrmaterals, shoes and balls. T he deal temperature s seventy degrees. The rooms should be so arranged that a ll equpment s readly accessble. Equpment should be shelved so that all artcles may be obtaned wthout great effort. T he stock for the sport n season should be kept near the front. New equpment should be unpacked when delvered and checked for quantty, qualty, and sze. Before t s placed n storage, some moth preventer should be appled, because equpment a lways becomes somewhat soled n storage. vvherever drt collects on cloth, there wll also be found moths unless preventatves are used. Permanent ma rkngs of szes, n umbers, aud names should also be done at ths tme as t wll make recondtonng easer. S uch markngs wll a lso dscourage theft. Szes should always be marked on equpment permanently. Laundry nk serves ths purpose best. The n umbers m ay be placed n nconspcuous places on the equpment, but where they may be found when szng. Some manufacturers have started to label equpment w th permanent sze tags. Numbers may be placed on the shoes by means of a clp tag clarnped to the tongue of t h e shoe. A verv effcent man should be placed n charge of the stock room and he should be placed n charge of such repar ;vork as he may be able to do. t s mportant that he keep a record of all equpment on hand as well as of materal ssued. The stock room should be fenced o ff from those recevng equpment and no person should be permtted behnd the cage. A busness-lke method should be used n g vng out equpment. Care should be taken when equpment s ssued to the ndvdual to see that t fts properly. ll-ftted equpment s often t h e cause of njury. n addton, such equpment wll not last <ts long as t hat whch f ts well Those recevng equpment should sgn a card whch lsts a complete record of all tems ssued. f\ny addtonal equpment should be ssued on a small order blank sgned by the coach. Page Seven After equpment s ssued, t should be dvded nto two classes,.e., personal and team. Personal equpment s that over whch t h e player has complete control, such as shoes. He s held responsble for ths equpment. Team equpment, such as balls, should be checked n every nght and the team manager should be held responsble for t. The next mportant t hng to consder s t he care of equpment. Seve1 al hundreds of dollars may be saved each year by lookng after equpment properly. For example, t s nether practcable nor economcal to ssue equpment at the begnnng of t he season and then use t the en tre season regardless of ts condton. The tme to servce a par of football pants s not a-fter thev have heen used so much that a new par should be.placed around the paddng. Rather, they should be servced just as soon as a small rp or tear s found. E (]upment should not be allowed to reman n lockers f t s wet because t wll mldew quckly whle n that condton. t should be remembered that mldew rots cloth. Rany weather s not the only cause of wet equpment ; excessve sweatng also brngs about a saturaton. nsst on havng men hang ther equpment on hooks n the lockers. vvth proper ventlaton n lockers, most equpment wll dry overnght. Shoes are the most expensve tem of equpment. water-proof ol should be used every day f the shoes a re wet. All shoes should be cleaned and oled after each game. The counters should not be oled or they wll become soft. Shoes should be placed n an uprght poston after each practce. Helmets should be placed wth the crown down so that they may ar properly. f pa nts are we t, t he th gh pads should be removed from t he pants. Socks, jerseys, and s upporters s hould be washed often to prevent nfecton. At the end of the season all equpment should be returned at or:ce. t should not be thrown n a ple and forgotten untl t he next tme t s wanted. t should be cleaned and repared at once. That equpment whch s not worth savng should be d.scarded so as to keep the store room as clean as possble. All equpment whch does not need reparng should be cleaned, or drty equpment rots n storage. Drty equpment held ove1 fron1 the year before s often the drect cause of n fecton and should be g uarded aganst. All cq upment should be cleaned, oled, and repared at once. t s a good 'dea to stuff the shoes full wth paper so that they wll retan ther shape. They should not be stored n a ple as such plng wll often result n breakng down the counters and warpng the soles.

Page Ten END PLAY By CLEM F. CROWE Drector of Athletcs, Xaver Unversty End play s one of the most mportant phases of offensve and defensve ootball. Snce the offense s the most mportant part of football, suppose we begn our dscusson of.;nd play from ths angle. f the queston were asked what are the responsbltes of the offensve end, what would be the answer? Frst, the offensve end must take care of hs blockng n the lne. To do ths he should have a good stance wth feet well apart, tal low, and head up. The shoulders should be straght and parallel wth the ground. Secondly, the "offensve end should know how to charge. T he charge should be made the nstant the ball s snapped, and not a fracton of a second afterwards. n other words, the end must try to get the jump on the defensve player he s gong to block. 'Whle the star.tng sgnal s beng gven, the end looks at hs defensve man wth splt vson whle apparently keepng hs gaze straght ahead. He now decdes, accordng to the poston of the man, what type of block he wll use and wll carry out hs plans at the nstant the ball s snapped. Regardless of the type of block used, the most mportant pont after havng gotten started wth the ball s to get contact and follow through. Why s t hard to do ths? Because of certan faults that are bard to overcome. The most common fault of offensve hlockng, especally for begnners, s that o f lowerng the head and closng the eyes at the nstant of the charge. Ths fault s easy to detect. The lowerng of the head causes the entre body to go out of poston, and of course wth hs eyes closed the offensve blocker s sure to mss hs man. f the play s called to the rght,.then the left end should not thnk that ths gves hm a rest perod. Upon hs actons wll depend to a large extent whether the play jus:t called wll gan short yardage or go for a touchdown. The left end now has an assgnment to get a seconda ry defense man wth an open feld block. T hs s probably harder to do than hs ordnary blockng n the lne. f he gets hs man, along wth hs teammates who have assgnments n the secondary, the play just called wll be a potental touchdown. the end, or any of hs teammates, mss, the play no doubt wll he a short ganer. T he aeral attack of an offensve team s very mportant. The nstant a defense seuses that the offense cannot execute forward passes, then t wll concentrate all of ts strength on stoppng the runnng game of the offensve team. vvhen ths happens, t s unlkely that the runnng game wll succeed. A condton of ths knd wll mean almost certan defeat. The KENTUCKY HGH SCHOOL ATHLETE \Vhat can an end do about ths? s t possble that the responsbltes of wnnng a game can rest to such a large extent upon the shoulders of ends? Yes, ths s tr ue. The ends are a hghly mportant cog n our pass offense. To be a good pass recever, an end must he able to thnk quckly, be fast, agle, and able to relax. He must also be a good actor n order to be able to fool hs defensve man. Hs job s to try to make hs opponents thnk that he s gong to get the ball when actually he s not, and also, he must be able to elude hs man when he expects to receve the pass. When the offense s forced to punt, the kcker s back and the ends are out ready to cover the recever. The end's frst job now, s to keep the recever on the nsde of hm, and to reach the recever quckly so that he wll have no chance to return the punt. To be succesful t s necessary that he evade all blockers as he runs down the feld. Ths s not an easy task for the end. Hs best weapons whle gong down on a punt are the use of a change of pace and a change of drecton. At the same tme, he must keep hs hands out t o help ward off the opposng blockers. 'When he gets wthn approxmately fve yards of the recever of the punt, the end slows up, spreads hs legs, and makes the recever show. He can then drve n and make the tackle. Now we have gven up the ball to o ur opponents and our ends are playng defense. They wll lne up and charge low and ast across the lne of scrmmage and he ready for anythng that mght develop. The frst job s to dagnose the play, then carry out ther wo.rk accordng to the nstructon of ther coach. H the play should develop nto an end run for nstance, the end, after havng gone n, should fade rapdly and turn the play to the nsde. f t s a pass, he may ether rush the passer or drop back to help cover the flat zone. f a lateral pass s comng, the en~ should thnk of nterceptng the pass or covedng the passer- leavng the job of coverng the recever to the halfhack. Snce the passer may pass whle beng tackled, t s generally safer to play hgh at ths partcular tme and try to knock down the pass. \tvhen the game s vvon, the ends can feel that they have taken good care of ther jobs, otherwse the vctory would have been turned nto a defeat.
