Rights of a team captain over middle line players

An examination of captain authority over the five middle linemen. It discusses permissible choices, leadership duties, and constraints under team rules and coaching decisions. The piece emphasizes balance between captaincy and coaching prerogative in selecting linemen.

Rules on linemen shifts and backfield placement

The captain may shift a lineman from the middle five positions to the backfield but must notify the referee, and the shifted player cannot return to a middle line position. A lineman may be moved back five yards without referee notification and may later resume his original line position. Only a true backfield shift prevents return to the line.

Two Hands to Win in Prize Ring

The piece argues two-handed fighters dominate boxing, citing Floyd Johnson as a fading one-handed puncher and Georges Carpentier as talented with one hand but limited without two. It notes Senor Luis Firpo relies on a club right while left serves defense, and suggests Dempsey’s two-handed style elevates him among all-time greats alongside Kilbane and Villa as examples of tactical balance.
