TECH DISPLAYED
MUCH PROMISE
. IN OPENER
Those fans of the gridiron sport who
follow the game closely enough to
know the rules and the various changes
which take place in them from year to
year were disappointed in their hopes
of seeing them put to the test in Sat
urday’s game between the Eleventh
Cavalry and the Yellow Jacket teams.
Straight football was used almost
entirely, and the old style line plays
were very much in evidence, they being
used by both sides to no advantage,
neither side putting the ball across in
the entire game.
The field was wet and heavy, and the
ball was thoroughly soaked, and there
fore the forward pass was not used to
any advantage and trick plays were out
of the question, as such plays require
fast handling of the ball and accurate
passing, and neither was possible un
der the conditions.
Everything being considered, Tech
should have had the game, and would
have had it if just a little more head
work had been used at the right time.
Tech's bucking was extra good, Colley
and Leuhrman going for good gains
nearly every time called. The back
field also did fairly good work in this
respect, but as they had to wait until
the ball was caught before getting a
start, they were necessarily hindered,
and on this account the end runs were
not up to their usual value. It was ex
tremely hard for the interference to
form under the weather conditions, and.
being so heavily outweighed, the in
terference was of little value and the
man with the ball was generally down
ed before he got started good.
Fumbling was also very noticeable
on the part of the Techites. and this
came near proving fatal more than once
and did keep them from scoring.
In the second half the artny team
kicked on the fourth down from the
center of the field, the punt going for
about 30 yards. It was not caught, but
touched by one finger of a Tech half
back, and an army man got the ball in
the scramble. A signal was called and
everything made ready for a placement
kick, when Dazendorf, who was holding
the ball, ran with it for about seven
yards, and it was only the old "never
die" spirit that saved Tech from de
feat, they playing a beautiful defensive
game and were then only saved by
MacDonald beating a forward passover
the goal line, thus making it a touch
back. giving Tech the ball on the- 20-
yard line. But time was nearly up, and
the Yellow Jackets got only three do\\ ns
when the game was called.

Tech's Famous Football Coach Registers a Kick on the Kick Rule
HEISMAN’S WEEKLY REVIEW OF GRIDIRON GAME
By J. AV. Heisman.
FOR the first time in seven years
the rule is (again) that, in
the ease of a punt by one
team, the punter s side is not put
"on-side" the instant the ball
touches the ground. Prior to these
seven fat*’ years the kicker’s team
mates always had to wait until the
ball had first been touched by an
opponent before they were put on
side.
I’hen if the opposing fullback on
defense, or whoever was trying to
handle the punt, saw fit not to try
to catch the ball on the tly because
of the fact that it was, say. seem
ingly out of reach for any except a
most difficult chance, he usually let
it fall to the ground and roll where
it pleased. This he could afford to
do and he leisurely about getting
to it. and falling on it, or picking
it up; for. no matter how fast op
ponents had come down under the
punt, they had no right to touch
the ball until one of the receiving
side had first touched it.
VY e then had the laughable sit
uation often presented of the ball
feebly wabbling around on the
ground and one man of the receiv
ing side most carefully tiptoeing
around it until he could get in such
a position as to satisfy himself
that he was absolutely capable of
falling on the ball and holding it,
without giving the half dozen men
of the other team—all of whom
were standing around him like hun
gry wolves—a chance to steal it
from him after he made his plunge
for it.
We. will, no doubt, have this sort
of thing happen again a good many'
times this fall, and laymen will
wonder and ask why everybody
seems to be so afraid of touching
the ball, when usually they are
only too anxious to get a chance to
lay hands on it. That’s a point
they must brush up on.
The matter regarding which I am
about to raise an objection is that
since the kicker’s side can not
touch the ball until it has first
givefi a chance to opponents to re
cover it by letting them touch it
first, and since there is no twenty
yard zone this year, and since it
is not intended that the kicking
game, with its particular rules,
shall operate any longer in contra
distinction to the passing game,
why should the punter be com
pelled to stand five yards back of
his scrimmage line when making
such a punt, the same as he is
compelled to do when making a for
ward pass?
In other words, the occasion for
compelling him to stand five yards
back of the line having passed
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN SEPTEMBER 30. 1912.
gway, why longer order him to go
back there? Why not let him kick
the ball in any part of the field
and at any time he sees fit—since
his own tfide can not recover It,
anyway, until opponents have had
first shot at it?*
CAY a team takes a common
kick formation. Well, if they
actually' kick the ball the op
posing side backs on defense are
permitted by rule this year to once
more dump under the kicker’s ends
as they come down the field. Well
and good. But suppose the punter,
after getting the ball from his snap
per, takes it into his head that he
has a fine opportunity to make a
forward pass to some mail of hfs
Who seems to be uncovered—and
he makes the pass.
Then instantly his own end who
had started down the field like an
express train to retrieve what per
haps he himself fully expected was
going to be a punt, emits a fearful
howl that the opposing side back,
instead of trying to catch this for
ward jsass himself (which is all he
is allowed to do with a forward
pass play), has willfully, mali
ciously, violently and half a dozen
other ways interfered with said
end by bumping into him, tum
bling under him. tripping him up.
etc., etc. All this may be true
enough, but it is certainly going
to be unjust to penalize that de
fensive side back for doing what he
undoubtedly ought to do in case it
had been a punt. And how is he to
know the difference? Carefully
watching the end. as is his busi
ness, and being thereby unable to
watch the punter or passer, how’
can he tell whether it is going to
be a punt or a pass?
Had the committee permitted
kicks to be made any old place in
the field (which point I have just
fussed over), it might help him
some; but to compel the kicker
to go back to the same spot or
distance to which they send, the
passer leaves no chance for the
defensive team to do any diagnos
ing.
As it stands, it’s going to be
risky for a team to try dumping
under the kicker's ends just be
cause they think it may be a kick,
for if it should happen to be a for
ward pass they are going to find
therfiselves heavily penalized, with
the passer's side getting first down
out of it in the bargain.
♦ ♦ ♦
T NOTE from the account of the
i first game of the season, which
took jilace between the Carlisle
Indians and Albright college, that
both teams played exactly' the same
style of team defense that they
played in 1911. In other words,
neither team had seen any occa
sion to change their style of de
fense. no matter that the rules
governing defensive play had met
with great changes since a year
ago.
This is in line with my own fore
cast. For the offensive rule changes
may, for the most past, be said to
be changes of degree and not of
kind; hence there is no need to
make changes in the KIND of de
fense. The changes of degree that
should be made by a defensive team
have to do with such factors as
adding more weight and speed, de
veloping sharper tackling ability,
more careful drilling on breaking
up interference, and ability to sus
tain punishment so as not to give
out before the attacking team’s
four trials have been exhausted.
And these changes of degree will
keep any team busy without wor
rying over other new wrinkles in
defense.
A SUMMARY of the reports from
11 various Southern colleges
seem to indicate that Georgia and
Vanderbilt have fared best in the
matter of material on hand, both
old and new, and both should have
wonderfully good teams; Indeed,
the Red and Black is likely to have
quite the best team in its history.
Clemson claims to have nine old
men back and a lot of fine new
material, while Mercer is right at
the heels of the Tigers in quantity
of both old and new material.
The material at Tech —well,
nothing doing. There is very little
old and none new. The line aver
ages exactly 159 pounds, and the
back field exactly 150; so if they
accomplish anything at all yoit
will have to give them proper
credit for it.
