To avoid getting your feelings ruffled by an otherwise tender and considerate es- cort lwho becomes a horse- voiced back-pounder at. the kick-offj, we will try to answer some questions. Needless to say, you cannot be made an expert in this limited space, but perhaps we can avoid your being shouted at with a brusque, 'Why don'tcha watch the game? Primer-like, we begin with the team. It is composed of 11 stalwarts. The line is thus: a center who passes the ball on each play to the backfield land if he's not careful ends up on the bottom of the heapj g two guards, right and left, two tackles, right and left, and two ends, right and left, whose jobs, using legal means of mayhem and assault, are to put the opposing play- ers out of play. In the backfield there's a quarterback who gen- erals the team and calls the plays, a right and left halfback and a fullback, all of whom must be able to run, kick, pass and block on offensive plays and back up the line on defense fa coach's dream come truej. Now, see that pow-wow in mid-'field just pre- ceding the game? The captains meet and shake hands in a deceptively friendly manner, and a com is spun to see who receives the ball first, and which goal which team is to defend. The kicking team places the ball on its own 40 yard line. The receiv- ing team fans out behind its 40 yard line and smack! The game is on. After the pile-up Qwhich you'll seej the offens- ive team huddles lthat's that little conference be- hind the line in which the quarterback tells the team the next playj and it's First down, ten to go. In plain language that means first attempt to carry the ball 10 yards. Four attempts or downs are allowed the offensive team by plunging or pasing to gain 10 yards. If they fail, the ball goes to the opponents. That chain you will see those officials skip on to the field with occasionally is the official tape measure to measure close ones. The offensive team may punt fkickj the ball on the third or fourth attempt, or down, if they see they cannot make 10 yards, to keep from losing the ball in their own territory. Its elementary land easyj to glibly say the way to enjoy football is to Follow the ball. And it's very true. Modern football depends greatly on de- ception or A who's got the ball idea. If that big, tall 21, who is right there in the game chases the wrong guy, how can you be expected to know way up here? But we still say when you get ac- customed to following the ball you will enjoy the game more. Offense, of course, is the spectacular part of the game, so we'll have to skip the reams that could be written on defense, or maybe your husband will explain it fafter the game, of coursej. There are a number of offensive formations, the most popular being the T-formation. The line is balanced like this: E T G C G T E, with the quarterback immediately behid the C, the fullback behind the quarterback and the halves flanking the fullback, thus forming a T in the backfield. Then there's the single wing back with balanced or unbalanced line, the double wing back with balanced or unbalanced line, each designed for certain types of running or passing plays lask your escort to describe them and watch him struggle . . and he thinks he knows so much about footballj. Running or plunging plays are self-explanatory. Passing is simply what it says. A passer drops back, and with the receiver lwho has been told in the huddlej down field and in the clear, throws the ball to him and away he gallops lmaybej. A lateral pass is one thrown to a receiver to the side of the passer. More than any other sport, football depends upon the team play. Each man has his assignment on each play. and if he fails the play is apt to fail. Spectacular stars are only made because 10 other stars are performing perfectly. Here are just a few terms you'll hear, and which you won't have to ask about in exciting moments: Off-side: A team is declared off-side when any player crosses the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped by the center. Penalty, five yards. Clipping: Taking an opponent off his feet from behind. Penalty, 15 yards. Holding: Deliberate use of the hands to hold an opponent. Penalty by offense, 15 yards, by de- fense five yards. Unnecessary Roughness: Kicking, gouging, slug- ging, or any flagrant roughness to an opponent. Penalty, 15 yards, or half the distance to the goal line at the discreation of the officials. Interference: Illegal use of hands, butting, shov- ing, or pushing a prospective pass receiver. Penal- ty, pass allowed as complete at point of interfer- ence. Field Goal: Place-kicking, or drop-kicking of ball from any point in field so that it goes between the goal posts and over the cross-bar'in the op- ponents end zone. Score, three points. And when you see that official at the goal line hold both hands above his head, that's a touch- down lady. and six points for our side. We hope you enjoy the game. 'l l'+'l'+'l l '! l'-P+'!
