If the guard is successful in breaking up the play of the two offensive men
without a field goal being ween upon him, the guard wins. If the offense
scores two goals out of the five, the offense wins. A tie score would be when
the offensive side scores one goal out of five tries. Naturally the more goals
scored by the offense the more emphatic would be the offensive vietory in the
five tries.

two forward slip in’ behind him, nor will he go out too deep and leave his goal un-

Should the offense attempt a shot from out in front he will constantly project

physique and jis personality into both the visual and the mental peths of
the shooter. Wes ther will he ever ain his back upon either opponent for a
moment, As an aid to efficient footwork he will intershange between the first
basemgn's step and the boxer's stance, as occasion demands.
