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."
