Behind the Line

CHAPTER XIII
20/22

She will take one of those men, range him up in front of our center-guard hole, and put two backs with him, tandem fashion.

When that trio, joined by the other half and the quarter, hits our line it's going right through it--that is, unless we can find some means of stopping it.

So far we haven't found that means.
We've tried several things; we're still trying; but we haven't found the play we want.
"If we're to win that game we've got to play on the defensive; we've got to stop tackle-back and rely on an end run now and then and lots of punting to get us within goal distance.

Then our play is to score by a quick run or a field-goal.

The offense we're working up--we'll call it close-formation for want of a better name--is, we think, the best we can find.
