Siy ce. Stop Unnecessary
"I used to have the idea that it was
.necessaryto stop when catching a
Vall. My college coaches soon dis-
ipated that idea. 'Tear for the goal
line just as hard as you can' they,
mtld me. If you're going like an

you're lots harder to bring down.'

In the same issue Benny Friedman,
,,,uarterback for the University of
Michigan eleven and selected on sev-
eral all-American mythical elevens
, ,lst year, sums up his gridiron strat-
,pgy in two principles-play for posi-

"If a quarterback knows what
these two sayings mean, he'll make
few mistakes in running his team. My
fundamental rules are only those
which every quarterback should
know.
"Take No Chances"
"Kick on the first down when you're
within 20 yards of your own goal.
Don't chance a fumble. Kick! From
the 20 to 40-yard line, get your run-
ning ends loose. Don't take a chance
with forward passes here, or any-
thing else that might go wrong. It
won't hurt to kick on the second
down.
teammates. Believe in your plays.
Above all, remember the two big prin-
ciples-play for position anid look
over the defense.",
Successful forward passing de-
pends largely on three things-cool-
Iness and skill in throwing the ball,
precision in sending it to tile right
place, and deception of the other
team in covering up the play.
That is the opinion of Andrew J.
Oberlander, Dartmouth halfback, so-
lected for the all-American eleven
last year by Grantland Rice.
Describes Grip
"The first thing to learn," Ober-
lander writes, "s tile right way inl
which to hold the ball. The grip
I've found most successful is with
my finger tips abross the laces of the
ball, thumb below and toward the
rear. When my arm is drawn back
for a pass, the ball is just about
balanced, the axis nearly level and
forward end pointed straight front.
. "Let go of the ball while your hand
is high. This makes it a lot harder
for opposing backs to block the pass.
Your thlumb lets go first, amnd the
fingers, with their grip, give it the
even spin that is so important.
"Lose No Time"1
"Usually you have to shoot at a
,rapidly moving end or back-and,
Coaches at the University of Michi-
gan are not overly interested in the
early start of the Navy football' team
in practice for this season, but they
are interested in reports of the ma-
terial the Midldies have for the year. 1
The easteri squad got intor atioi on
August 27 with a varsity squad of 45
and a reserve or B squad of 35 more.
The effect of this early training will
have spent itself by October 3, football
critics here indicate, but will give the
Navy a potent "edge" for its first game
of the season against Purdue, its other
Big Ten opponent.
Of tile regulars who were so decis-
ively outplayed on Ferry Field last
year Shapley and Hamilton, backs;
Osburn, center; Wickhorst and Eddy,
tackles, and Hardwick, end, remain.
Osburn has been center for two years
but was coached for a back in the
spring practice and is regarded as the
logical man to lead the interference ijI
this year's campaign. He showed well
in this department ii the spring.

The General Electric Company
ahas devoted years of study to
material-handling and trans-
portation problems. In its own
vast plants the handling and
mving of materials and prod-.
ucts have been simplified to
the highest degree, thus provid-
ing a daily demonstration of

Through an abandoned mine runs this giant
wheelbarrow carrying nine thousand tons
of coal per day in a steady stream from the
miners to the coal barges on the Monon-
gahela River. One man controls it with no
more effort or concern than pressing a
switch button. Electricity pushes it.
Not only conveyor belts of all sizes, shapes
and kinds, but also hoists, tractors, cranes,
elevators, stackers, locomotives, and other
material-handling equipment have gained
flexibility, dependability, and ease of control
through electric motorization.
Moving things in one way or another is the
educated man's work in life. And electricify,
