low and well forward, but must not squat.
The feet should be at right angles with
the gridiron line. He should stand on
the toe of the rear foot and the ball of the
forward foot, most of the weight of the
body resting on the forward foot. The
rear leg should not be straight, but angu¬
lar. The position is such that the quar¬
