JUST A FEW THINGS
ABOUT FOOTBALL GAME
WILL ENABLE SOME TO BETr
"TER UNDERSTAND
THE?R FIRST
MAKING GOALS
Three Ways in Which Team May
Make Points, Touchdown, '
Goal and Field Goal.
Tho annual gamo of football be
tween Clemson and Auburn, which
will bo played In this city Saturday,
will be witnessed by SOO or 600 peo
ple wh'o.Myo; noyer before seen o'
contest of; tliis kind.' Yet when they
' seo tho two teams Uno up, tooy will
feel and yes they will almost seo the
thrills of excitement run through the
aifVuf '..- . - .
> -, A game of football is played by two
opposing teams of eleven men each,
this making tito number equal. The
positions on a team aro as follows:
Center, left and right guard, right and
lett tackle, rigjlit and left end. This
composes What is commonly called
tlie rush line. -Then comes the back
.field: Quarterback, who.calls' the
plays and directs thc team; then the
right and loft halfbacks and the full
. back. i .
When a team, ?hos possession of the
ball yoii will, notice that thoy are
well bunched1 so a? tb,form close in
terference for tho one of their jium
bor who is carrying the ball, while
tho other team will be scattered so
as lo bettor see and stop tho plays
which 'aro run after tf.ie interefbr
encc. j 'f l . ' '
Scores .aro made as follows: A
touchdown ls made by carrying tho
ball over tho enemy's lino where the
- gdal post , ts "erected and this counts
alic ' points. After a touchdown, tho
leam making lt is entitled to a kick
?tfFg?a?. A goal is made by kicking
?ampioilship Pi
tho ball between tho goal posts from
tho field and counts ouc point. A
ball kicked over 0!:? goal froten tho
field of play counts throe points, and
it must be, either a drop or a place
kick.
Just before tho beginning of tho
gamo a coin iu tossed up to see which
team will get thc kickotr. lu the be
ginning of tue t?uuc tho ball Ia kick
ed off from tho center lino between
tho two goals by tho winning team
and as soon as it is tklcked bo ti
teams begin running. The ball is
caught by a member of the opposing
team who takes it up tho field in thc
direction from which it came aud
keeps going until he ls downed.
When a team bas a ball t?ey have
-to muko 10 yards in four downs, or
four plays. If they seo nt tho end
of thc third down that they cannot
make the 10 yards they kick tho ball
up the field and it is then put in. play
by tho opposing, team, which goes
througm the same maneuvers.
This is by no moans a full account
of the way a game of football is play
ed.. It is written with the intention
of giving a clearer Ides to those who
have never ' seen one of what they
may expect.

Dr. John Major stated yesterday
that tickets had been placed on BUIO
at tho following places in addition to
those mentioned in Thc Intelligencer

total of seven stations where tickets

of young ladies are selling them.
School children aro urged to buy tholr
tickets before tho game or elso those
over 15 years of age will have to pay
the full price at the game.. The
students from Anders? a- collego will
purchase their tickets - at 50 cents a
plecii but all other ladies will have to
pay 51.00. Tao Clemson cadets and
members of the1 facitity will buy their
tickets before coming to Anderson,
this being the agreement since the
proceeds from these sales will not be
counted in tho sum that has been
guaranteed by thc Anderson citizens.
Tho game will bo called promptly
