The tnckle Is no longer the slow slew

portant part, particularly In end-running
play?.
On tlie defenfe he must no nblc te
get through and assist the end In
breaking up the interference In addi
tion te his ether duties.
THERE arc two styles of tackle
play, enr in which the tackle
stands up and fights his icay tcith il?
hands, and the ether where a tarkte
plays tow and charpes across the line
of scrimmage with his head and
sheudcrs.
"Buck" Wlttrten's Method
THE Inttcr method was first intro
duced br Dr. Chnrlea "Buck"
Wharten, of the University et i'cnn
sylvntiia. When line coaches are
spoken about, Dr. Wharten ranks as
nnwng the greatest in the history of
the'gnme. His system 1h in vogue in
hundreds of colleges nil ever the coun
try. There is n strong reason for the
adoption of the plan. A small, active
man can piny the system nnd be n geed
tackle, which means that n greater
number can play the game.
The tackle who playH the high style
of game must be big and exceptional
!n his talents in order te be of any
talue te his team. A slight man play
ing high is easy te charge back nnd
carry out of the piny unless, as stated,
he is an exceptional player.
The low style of piny is reully the
lest. It gics a man nit Ins power,
enables him te drive hard and race.
the nppositjen en the defense nnd te
plough holes in the defense of, the op
posing team when his mated arc carry
ins the ball.
On the offense a player should nt
"ume a charging pesturr. The hand
should be kept up nnd the body down.
A right tackle stands with right feet
forward and n left tackle with his left
feet forward. That l, the tackle al
ways nvMiiiies his charging nositien
with the outside feet forward.
When the ball Is passed lie should
charge low and hard with the purpose
in mind of stepping anything coming
in his direction. If a back is te carry
the ball through the tackle's position
he should turn his opponent in, out
nr back, as he has been directed by
his coach.
WHEN he i te he a part of the in
" terference he should swing out
j mv uric ena yci line rue uurr-
rmicc with uipldity and get te his l
opponent and cut him down. Te come
out of the line with the less of ai
little speed and drive as possible the
tacllc should pivot en his rear feet '
nnd if in well back, kicping the
liady low with his cyci en his op- I
penent. I

Tackle. Should Lead Interference j
TTIS first swinging phet step clears
A him of the scrimmage line nnd
makes the becend step in the right direc
tion. This should be practiced ns much
of the time as pes-iblc a geed tackle

end net offer nny resistance, then the
tackle will sense that the play is going
te the. opposite side.
""
TtIVN the offensive side hai a kirk
" formation or an open formation,
the tackle plays a little wider, going
in tt te hurry the kicker or passer.
The tackle should always fellow ihn
haU In rate of a fumble or any ether
accident that might happen te the en-
7o.?if(eu in the eay of losing the ball
by a blocked pun or fumble.
ONE of the main troubles with tackles
Is their failure te charge neressthe
line. They srem te wnlt for tlie play
te come te them. As a result, the op
position Is formed and the tnckle Is
swept te one side. Don't wait, but get
in and get them. They nre ensier te
step.
Te sum up, a tackle ought te remem
ber te ehnrge low and hard, head up
and ejes en the ball. Fellow the ball,
interfere, tackle hard and always play
geed, clean, rough football.
