KEEP AFTER THE BALL
(By Edwin

Hess, Guard, Ohio State
University

Lots of guards, I've noticed, forget
on defense that they're guards and
start playing like tackles or defensive
halfbacks.
By that I mean that they charge toe
wide, or run too deep, or fail to fol
low the ball closely enough. Coacl.
J. W. Wilce, at Ohio State, alway
teaches his teams to be "ball hawks,'
and a guard has to keep that in min
every second.
A guard's first job, when the othe'
team has the ball, is to get througl
the line and reach the
in the shortest possible time. I'v
found the principle of watching tht
ball, instead of the man I'm playing
against, mighty important in the business of breaking through the line
The center, or guard, or tackle op
posing me is going to keep his eyer
on me, I'm always sure; I simply don"
worry about him. What I want t
know is where I have to get what''
going to be the most direct way to
the ball. I've watched a guard who
spent his time with his eyes on the
man in front of him, and discovered
that he often misses the play.
1
There are a number of tricks a
guard ought to know to help him pass
offensive linemen.
He can use his
hands, on defense, and he must take
full advantage of the fact. If the
man coming into him is a fast, hard
charger, he'll likely do best to pull
the man forward to get his hands
on the fellows shoulders, or on his
head (for a man always follows his
head, and if it's pushed down he's
almost sure to go flat) and force him
to the eround. If the man is a slow
charger, however, the best trick
to push him backward by getting the
jump on him, hitting him low and
hard and if possible keeping him from
getting into full speed.

Fundamentals are the things for a

For often the greatest strength of
a team is in its strong line. The powerful Michigan team las year was so
successful largely because of the
smothering, smashing force of its
