Youngsters How to Play Game, J- Noted Referee 8ays Long, Low Punt Is Popular Drop and Place Kick Growing More Important Each Succeeding Year. "Keep a cool head," 1b ono of the tips William C. Connett hands out to aspiring young football players. Con nott will rofforeo tho most important jgamos in tho weBt this season. Ho will handle some of tho big battles for St. Louis, Missouri and Washing ton. Commenting on tho differonco bo twoon practice and playing, Connett handed out a few bits of advice which; will no doubt provo of valuo to tho' schoolboys. Ho cited several Instan-. cos of whoro players had forgotten' even tho simplest things about foot ball in the excitement of a game bo-j cause of tho fact, that they got rat- tied. Coolness, ho said, was ono of tho main requisites for a player run ning a team. "Thoro are many kinds of kicks In football and as many ways to make them," says the famous gridiron star. "Tho mpBt common is tho long, high punt McKay, Brown's captain last ,year, was tho best man I over saw at this stylo. He had tho ball at arm's length and on a lovel with his head, tho ball pointing in at an angle of 80 degrees. Ho brought his leg up straight to tho kneo until his foot turned Inward at tho same angle as tho ball. He caught the ball on the, side, giving it tho spiral twist His' kick continued through until his foot was over his head. "In tho east tho long, low punt is gaining favor. The ball travelB about ten yards high, and is hard to handle Pennsylvania's quarter back had this kick down flno last year. His kicks would travel through tho air for twen ty yards, hit tho ground, then roll forty to fifty yards more. "Tho drop kick and place kick will be more important this year, for thero Is a lack of scoring plays within tho1 twenty-yard line. A team must have4 a man who can make field goals. Thei place kick gives more distance, but Is less accurato than tho drop kick, because two men handle the ball in tho former. "A drop kick is usually made by; dropping tho ball with a slight tilt! backward. When it touches tho' ground tho toe hits the ball on tho( under side. "Tho ball should be dropped on a lovel spot. Keep your eye on the ball after gauging the distance and direo tion of tho goal post." LEFT HALF-BACK GILBERT, D' i i Election Tuesday, November 7, 1011. Polls Open 8 A. M; to 6 P. M.
