WHAT NEXT?

   Well, boys, they've done it at last. There was once a time when a headache or stomach ache could get you off a day with out dressing out for Phys. Ed.

   Now the coaches have a way to make you want to dress out five days a week whether you are just about ready for the meat wagon or not.

   Unless you are fond of pulling sand spurs or weeds you'd better stay healthy. At the moment those boys too sick to exercise are bending their backs out by the Glenridge sign.

   Any similarity between this and a chain gang is strictly accidental.

FOOTBALL FACTS

1. A football field is 100 yds. long and 52 yds. wide. White lines mark all four sides. Every 5 yds. a white line is made running from one side of the field to the other side.

2. A team is given 4 tries to move the ball at least 10 yds., if they succeed that is called a first down and they get to keep the ball and try to make another 10 yds. in 4 tries. This continues until touch down, at which time the other team gets the ball.

3. A touchdown counts 6 points. A point after T.D. counts as 1 point.

4. The team with the ball is called the offensive team. The team without the ball is called the defensive team.

5. The huddle is where the quarterback calls the plays that he wants run. He directs the team's offense. No one talks in the huddle but him.

6. There are many football formations. Glenridge uses the Split T formation, 16 different running plays and 12 different pass plays.

7. A simple play is as follows: it is Play #22.

E - End QB - Quarterback
T - Tackle HB - Halfback
G - Guard T -

Block

C - Center D - Defensive Player

WHAT'S THE GOOD WORD. BEAT MEMORIAL!

COACH MOSHER 

   Because of the poor reproduction of the Sport Page last week we are reprinting those stories along with our new ones.

SPORTS PICTURE

   After two weeks of contact work, the squad has been cut down to 37 players, and the beginning team pretty well determined.

   These starting positions are bout definite, but, of course, subject to change at any time.

   On the line the Lions will have a 176 lb. average, which is larger than many high schools.

   The end positions will be serviced by Rusty Doolittle, Carl Kettles and David Heaps. Paul Bene, 181 lbs. and co-captain Frank Ferguson, 191 lbs. are solid at the tackles. Julius Mullins and Gene Mooney have found a niche for themselves as offensive guards. While Clark Lambert and Vern Duncan will set as defensive guards. John Moscheo, 190 lbs., is a center, but little Johnny Cash is pushing big John hard.

   The backfield has Ray Myers, Chuck Butler and Greg Holland ready for the halfback spot. Charles Matthews and Dewey Ramsby will probably be starting quarter backs. Steve Toothaker and Bill Baroshe recently arrived from Pennsylvania look good as full backs.
