It is remarkable that more goals are not acored from corner kicks, The ball travels to the most dangerous spot, or should do so, and yet not once in ten is It sent Into the net. This is due tof covering of the attackers plus the poor placing of the ball by the: that scoring opportunities are kicker, but it always seems to me missed.
One defect by attacking for- wards at a corner is that they are inclined to take up their places too close to goal. They should stand ten yards or so out and they should spread out. This makes the covering by defenders mort dimcult. It also gives the for- wards more scope for movement A player standing close to go goal is more or less helpless un-) less the ball goes to him.

There are two further reasong why it is a mistake to stand too close it. The first is that the ball should not be placed there by the kicker otherwise the goal-' keeper will be able to move a step or na forward and use his hands and in this way have a blg advantage over a forward who can with his only attempt to score head. The ideal spot for the ball; to come down is just too far out for the goalkeeper to come out and yet near enough for a quick hender to succeed.

SOUTHAMPTON Young, who pinyed well below TOTTENHAM form, had a 23 as his best vial to the table. The consistency of Pymm was a feature of his play.
The other reason why the for-a: wards should stand back is that a hender is always more dangerous when a man can run on to the ball. Ho gets more force behind it than is possible when he is standing still and has to jump straight up. for it.
Оле corner trick is for the smallest forward to come back to tako the place of the contre-hal who goes up. This, of course, le only done if the centre-half is s tall man.
