He never was a heavy man, but he was swift and slippery in running, a deadly tackler, and a kicker that had not his equal in his time. Alex remained prominent in football activity until his death in 1914. He served in many capacities, as member of committees, as coach, as referee and as umpire. He was a man of happy and sunny nature who made many friends.
I didn't spot who it was. Did you see? 'Rather. Their secretary. That man with the beard. I'll get Prescott to mark him this half. Prescott was the hardest tackler in the School. He accepted the commission cheerfully, and promised to do his best by the bearded one. Charteris certainly gave him every opportunity.
'Just as hoo were stretchin' her arm, and bendin' her shoulders to get owd o' th' ends, the tackler up wi' his an' clips her raand th' waist. 'Well, hoo were up like a flesh o' greased leetnin', and fetched him a smack o'er th' face as made him turn the colour o' taller candles. Yo' remember that, Betty, durnd yo'?
Perry Blair, about whom those who screamed had heard something unpleasant oh, yes, yellow! lanced down the narrowing aisle between radiator and fenders. He struck Felicity like a vicious tackler yet did not go down, but leaped again. As the cars crunched together they slithered through the crowd, across the walk, against a wall, into a heap.
They met Blythe. A stoker swung a cutlas and rushed for him. Full in the forehead a bullet from the captain's revolver crashed into his brain. Like a football tackler the body plunged forward to Sam's feet. For a moment nobody moved or spoke. Then, "My God!" groaned Henry Fleming. I cannot account for it.
One man I will always remember is Gill, who played left tackle for Yale and was captain during his senior year. I remember him because we had a good deal to do with each other. When I ran with the ball I had to get around him if I made any advance, and I must say that I found it no easy thing to do, as he was a sure tackler.
If he is coming hard, his head has sufficient power to give you quite a boost, and you can 'ride him' a considerable distance often four or five yards. When his momentum dies, drop off and leave him. Well, Eddie didn't use any of these. Finally I asked him how he figured on getting by the tackler, and what the trick was he used so effectively. "'It's a cinch, Eddie replied.
With the exception of Mr. Gardner and Mr. Mr. Hendry was a slow tackler, and took too long to get on the ball, but when he got a fair chance, was a very neat kicker, and showed good judgment. ~J. R. Wilson.~ During the past season, Mr. Wilson, who had been abroad for a number of years, made a visit to his native city, and was welcomed back by his old friends of the field with remarkable pleasure.
Tarzan, on the contrary, leaped forward and with a celerity second not even to that of the swift-moving cat, he threw himself headlong upon him as might a Rugby tackler on an American gridiron.
In the next instant the would-be tackler was bowled over by Darrin and Hudson, and Dick swept on with the ball. By this time all the home boosters were on their feet, yelling like so many Comanches. Filmore's half and full contrived a trap that caught young Prescott, and carried him down with the ball -but this happened at Filmore's forty-five-yard line!
