To send fb around the right end on a double pass from le, le should work in slightly before the ball is snapped to le2, as in diagram twenty-six.

Diag.35

The instant the ball is put in play, rh, fb, lh, lg, and le leave their positions and dash for the right end, in the lines indicated in the diagram.

Qb, re, rt, lg, lt, and rg play as in diagram eight.

Lh cuts in close around rt, and blocks the first man he meets.

RH runs directly for the opposing le, and blocks him off or forces him in.

Le receives the ball at x, on a pass from qb, and running at full speed in a course, about two yards nearer the line * than that taken by fb, throws the ball on ahead of him to the full-back, with a clean pass of from four to five yards, as fb reaches the point behind rt, and turns sightly sidewise, as he runs, to receive it. Le then cuts in, as shown, and blocks the first free man on the opposing end.

Fb, upon receiving the ball, passes to the outside and encircles the end.

The play may sometimes be made to greater advantage by having lh take the line indicated for fb, and receive the ball on the pass, while fb runs on ahead. The guard will find great difficulty in getting in advance of the man with the ball, and may find that he can be of more service by cutting across close behind the line.

Note. It may be necessary for fb to withhold his speed slightly until le has passed him the ball. If it becomes necessary to block the opposing rg, lh may play as in diagram thirty-three, though lg should so time his action that his man will be unable to interfere with the play.

* See Note, diagram twenty-five.
