UX GLEBANACEQQQ MIDGET BASKETBALL by BEN STIRLING, 5-C T THE end of their regular schedule, the Midgets stood in second place, two points behind Lisgar. In tl1e ten games played, Glebe won eight and lost two. Both Lisgar and Nepean defeated the Glebe team, but only after hard-fought struggles, the scores being 17-1 5 and IQ-15, respectively. Lisgar and Glebe will now play off for the city champion- ship. Roger Chown, Eddie Flowers and Harold Mitchell were outstanding on the forward line, while Hugh McDougall performed well at guard.

UX GLEBANAGXQQ- FOOTBALL HINTS QAEPALERE FLAMMAM sEcoNn PRIZE, JUNIOR V 'll lm y v QNX GEORGUE i-uses 3-D fl? ANY OF the Glebe students who attend the football games and see two football teams shoving each other around the field, cannot understand these tactics but would like to be able to. Therefore, I shall, in the following exposition, endeavour to explain the game to you. To understand football, you IHUSI have a slight knowledge of the sport. The actual operation of the game is simple. The teams are at opposite ends of the Held. One team has the ball, this team is said to be on the offensive, the other team on the defensive. The team in possession of the ball tries to open an avenue through the opposing team for the ball carrier. The offensive team is given three tries or Hdownsl' in which to advance the ball ten yards. lf they fail to do so, the ball is given to the other team. If they succeed in making the required ten yards, they are allowed three more downs to repeat the operation. The defensive team tries to stop the ball carrier from gaining ground. The ball may be advanced by passing or kicking it, by carrying it through the line, or around the ends, accord- ing to the rules. When a touchdown is scored, the team that obtained it is allowed five points, and is given the ball five yards out and directly in front of the goal posts. They may try a convert which counts only one point whether the ball is passed over the line or kicked between the goal posts. A placement counts three points, a safety touch counts two points, and a rouge one point. It is possible that some of the readers cannot understand the football terms used in the pre- ceding paragraph, therefore, I shall explain them: Placement Kick-is made by kicking the ball where it has been placed on the ground, or it may be held in position by any member of the attacking team. Touchdown-is scored when fab the ball in possession of a player in his opponents' goal is declared dead by the referee, Cbj a pass is completed in oppo- nents' goal area, Qcj a player on the opposing team crosses the other , , , , team's goal line while 7 he is in possession of -J the ball. When a play- , er is dead , it means he has been motionless for a period of ten seconds or more. Convert-fadditional point after a touchdown. A team which has made a touchdown may obtain an additional point by putting the ball into play on or outside of their opponents' five yard line, and by successfullyexecuting in a single play any one of the following: Cab kicking a goal from the ground. Cbj carrying the ball across goal line. fcj completing forward pass in their oppon- ents, goal area. Rouge-is made when fab a player whose side obtains possession in its own goal area has the ball held on the ground, fbj when a team makes an offside pass in its own goal area. A Safety Touch-is scored when the ball is rouged', provided the ball has been kicked, carried or passed from outside the goal line to or behind the goal line by the side against which the rouge is scored. The real science of the game, however, lies in what goes on before the ball is put into play. You may enjoy the game without knowing anything about this part of it, but your appre- ciation is complete only when you are aware of the strategy employed by the teams and under- stand why the play succeeded or failed. The dream of every football coach is to have a team that is perfect in fundamentals. This means perfect in running, kicking, passing, blocking, ball carrying and tackling. If a team is perfect in these departments, it will be very difficult to defeat them. It may be beaten, how- ever, by a team not so complete in the funda- mentals but which possesses a smart quarter- back who knows the game. Teams gain ground through power, alertness and deception. A clever quarter-back will vary wil A li !':Iil 3 4 ii yi . 51,5 .gm J 4116?
