Founded as a private academy in 1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the University is within 1CX) miles of the educational and cultural centers of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by interstates 79, 80 and 90. Edinboro has the distinction of being the second normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point for the spacious campus. More than 5,800 students representing almost every county in the Commonwealth, as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend Edinboro. Its tradition of educational service and research is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds of whom have earned doctoral degrees. The University now offers more than 100 under­ graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a diversity unmatched by any other college or university in northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the educational needs of its region from both a professional and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now mckes contributions in the fields of education, government, environmental improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention, and service to business and industry. Recent program developments include those in the high-demand areas of allied health, business administration, communication, computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes­ sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy and veterinary science. Numerous student internships provide additional examples of the University's efforts to create a close working relationship with the people it serves while, at the same time, offering students intel­ lectual and career opportunities. Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than those required of other undergraduates. Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $8,000,000 in financial aid is available annually to eligible students. Students are admitted to the University in September, January, or at the beginning of each summer session and are considered for admission on the basis of their general scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT scores.

The invading Big Indians, who bring one of the country's biggest Division II lineups into Sox Harrison Stadium, could shatter the Scots hopes of staying in the Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division race. Edinboro is currently in second place at 2-1 and chasing unbeaten Clarion. Preseason favorites to win the Western title, the Big Indians throttled California 35-21, before being upset 1514 by Slippery Rock and now show an even 1-1 divisional record. Second-year coach, George Chaump, an offensive coordinator during championship years at both Ohio State and Tampa Bay, has also seen his talented club fall to powerful Hillsdale and third-ranked (NAIA) Westminster. From tackle to tackle lUP's offensive line approaches pro proportions with an average of 258 pounds. The Indiana backfield follows tackle Ben Lawrence (267), guard John Palamara (265), center Mark Plevelich (240), guard Chuck Duffy (235) and tackle Bruce Morgan (285). Indiana's size continues on the defensive unit with its 3-4 alignment led by down linemen Bret Shugarts (267), Bill Scott (260) and Mike Karmazyn (244). In spite of a 2-3 record this trio has spearheaded a defense that is yielding only 115 yards rushing per game and 158 yards passing. While Edinboro's defense has held opposing teams running games intact by allowing only 77 yards per clash on the ground, the Scots can expect a stern challenge through the air by quarterback Rick Ingold. The South Carolina transfer has already thrown for 1,139 yards and has connected for eight touchdowns. Ingold keeps enemy defenses off balance with a wide variety of talented receivers. Six Indiana gridders have caught 10 or more passes with wideout Gregg Brenner on top of the pack with his 17 receptions for 281 yards. lUP's running attack features fullback Bill Thompson and Dave Seidel who shares his talents at both the fullback and tailback slots. Seidel owns 349 yards for a respectable 69.8 yards per game average with Thompson churning up the turf at a 51.2 rate. If recent games serve as any indicator look for a low scoring tightly contested game. In five of the last seven encounters between these two teams neither has scored more than one touchdown. The widest margin of difference in the final score after matchups in the past seven years has been a mere six points. Edinboro edged the Braves at Indiana, 6-3, last fall with lUP slipping past the Scots 7-6 at Sox Harrison two year's ago. Edinboro s offense finally got back on track in last week's 28-20 win over Slippery Rock. The Scots ground game is grinding out an impressive 269 yards per game while the aerial attack shows a 181.6 yards per contest output. The combined efforts showcase a 450.8 average which ranks among the top ten in the country along with a 36.0 points per game scoring average. The Scots defense has been equal to the test with its stinginess against the run'and with a secondary that has intercepted 13 passes, six of which set a single game record. Junior quarterback Blair Hrovat directs the Scots' diversified vying-T attack. Hrovat has run for 205 yards on the year while passing for 864 yards and five scores. Split end Gary McKnight (8-154) is his top target among the Plaid's receivers but his favorite hookup, versatile halfback Ron Rankin (19-275) most likely will miss the fray due to a leg injury. Look for a capable replacement in Bob Klenk, who is the Scots scoring leader with 42 points and a 50 yards per game rushing average. He will be joined by the club's top runner, fullback Keith Collier who shows 60 yards per clash to his credit. Rounding out the backfield is speedy Damon Chambers, the Boro's third top rusher with a 46.2 mark per outing. Linebacker Willie Chealey remains the Scots top tackier with his 61 stops followed by middle guard John O'Rorke's 49. Also ranking among the leaders on Edin­ boro's hit squad are linebacker Jim Durkin (42), end Phil Giavasis (41) and tackle Rick Jordan (36). Free safety Dave Parker is the top patrolman in the secondary with three interceptions and is now just one shy of the all-time iriterception record of 13. Jordan tops the list of sacks with his seven tackles on opposing quarterbacks. Coach Denny Creehan's Fighting Scots will not return home until November 5th in a conference matchup against Lock Haven. The schedule finds Edinboro on the road next week at Buffalo State and the following Saturday in a critical conference clash at Clarion. 1983 PA. CONFERENCE WESTERN DIVISION Team 1. Clarion 2.

BORO’S BURKHOLDER ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN Edinboro graduate Kirby Burkholder, All-American Edinboro University takes pride in welcoming back a special athletic alumnus today with the return of Kirby Burkholder, a graduate this past spring who will bo honored at today's game for his outstanding academic achievement. The Fighting Scot swim ace, currently pursuing his doctorate in nuclear engineering at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has been named to the national Academic All-American team. The Carlisle, PA product was a dean's list student every semester while maintaining a 3.6 cumulative average in physics. In addition, the University Honors Program participant, served as a student research assis­ tant at the government's Oak Ridge, Tennessee National Laboratory while also processing data from Arizona s Kitt Peak National Observatory for a project involving solar physics. As a student researcher last summer in the govern­ ment lab at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Burkholder took part in a program administered by the Oak Ridge Associated Uni­ versities that dealt with ion optical studies and ionization sources. He followed that up with an independent study program at the Lord Corporation in nearby Erie where'he researched surface properties of materials. The Edirtboro graduate shared his work experiences with fellow class­ mates through a seminar he conducted for the Engineering Club last fall. / An all-conference winner in both the 100-and 200yard backstroke, Burkholder has thrived on challenges both In the pool and In the classroom. The soft-spoken Carlisle High graduate overcame the drawback of his school not having a swimming team by developing his aquatic skills at the4ocal YMCA. Ho won four intercollegiate varsity letters from coach Ed Erdos' swimming Scots and was an all­ conference finisher four straight years.

That’s why, with the passing game "A quarterback has got to make sure the catching on everywhere, the pass­ T blocking efficiencies of offensive linemen everywhere—from Division 1-A national contenders to the most struggling Di­ vision III team—are being polished and scrutinized more than ever and why a good offensive lineman is suddenly as prized as a game-breaking tailback. Being an offensive lineman may not be the most glamorous position, but a lot of coaches think it’s one of the most difficult positions in football. "I’ve always felt the two hardest posi­ tions to play in football are the secondary and the offensive line,” said one coach. "You've got more things to learn. You may have to block one play six different ways. Every time the quarterback comes to the line of scrimmage and sets you, yqu've got a split second to make your decision.” In the past, offensive linemen might come from anywhere—an overloaded fullback corps, the defensive line or wherever there were players who continued time to Pan,,, continued couldn’t quite make it and yet were too big and strong to be sitting on the bench. That’s changing. “You have an ideal player in your mind, but very seldom do you get that ideal,” said a coach from the Far West. "You want a good athlete, but you’re looking for the physical qualities plus the subjective things. Speed, quickness and size are part of being a good athlete but you also want an outstanding competitor with a good at­ titude, a guy who can really self-evaluate, the kind of guy who can improve, im­ prove, improve.” Knute Rockne may have looked for the passes, fake passes. When an offensive coordinator comes up with something he thinks might work with the ball in the air, there has to be time for the quarterback and his receivers to interact. The offen­ sive lineman has to be prepared to pro­ vide enough time so his quarterback can (a) have the time to set up and get the play off and (b) not have to worry about some 6-7, 280-pound defensive tackle chopping him in two every other down. How is an offensive lineman supposed to go about doing this? It’s not necessarily size that’s the key, although many coaches fantasize about perfect sizes for the An offensive linemen hes to heve good feet when he’s blocking so he can stay in front of the passer. same qualities. So, what’s the difference between today and the days when Ronald Reagan used to toil in anonymity on the offensive line at Eureka College in Illinois? There are lots of differences. The plays—especially the passing plays—are getting more complicated all the time. Bigger, stronger, quicker and more soph­ isticated defensive players have dictated that the offense evolve as well. An offensive lineman has to learn all his run assignments plus how to block for a myriad of passing plays—screens, dropbacks, sprintouts, short passes, long guards, tackles and centers that would have them wearing size 60 coats and size 32 pants. There are some awfully good of­ fensive linemen in the 6-2, 235-pound range who can block 6-5, 260-pound de­ fensive linemen with the ease of a tug managing the Queen Mary. "The key is the feet. An offensive line­ man has to have good feet so that when he’s pass blocking he can stay in front of the guy,” said one coach from the North­ west who installed a passing offense that turned his team from last to first in the space of one season. “In a passing situ­ ation, you don’t have to have a guy who knocks somebody 10 feet off the ball. Tal­ ented feet and the ability to deliver a blow make the defensive lineman start his charge all over again. Size is okay if you have it. But you can get by easier with pass blocking than you can running the football.” Other coaches want their offensive linemen to cast Mount Everest-type shad­ ows. "The offensive linemen in our league are really big,” said a West Coast coach who’s made several trips to the Rose Bowl in the past few years. "Physical size helps a lineman; he’s bigger and harder to get around.” What would be a perfect offensive tine? The tackles might be 6-7, 265 pounds and the tight end 6-4, 235. For some leagues those sizes will be bigger, for oth­ ers smaller. But squat-like or sequoia-like, the feet come into play again. "You’ve got to have good feet,” the West Coast coach said. "It’s almost like chicken fighting; you’re putting your hands on a guy trying to keep him away from your body. The defensive linemen are so big and strong these days, it’s incredible.” A typical play for an offensive lineman might go like this. The play is called in the huddle. As the lineman leaves the huddle for the line of scrimmage he’s automatically thinking about what his job is on that particular play. Once he’s at the line, the lineman has to recognize what defense the other team is in and who he’s lined up against. Just when he thinks he’s got everything in order, the quarterback might call an audible—changing the play if he sees a de­ fense the called play won’t work against— and the whole thought process has to start over a^mn. The linemen have to talk to each ortier, asking for help or volun­ teering it* in case the other team stunts. Once the ball is snapped and the quarter­ back drops back or sprints to either side to throw the ball, the offensive lineman has to stay with the player he’s assigned to block until the last possible second. All of this takes place in a matter of sec­ onds and if anybody along the line can’t maintain his block for the time needed to get the pass off, then the whole process is scuttled. When that happens, the quar­ terback is either sacked or he starts scrambling, trying to throw on the run. That’s when the offensive lineman’s errors are broadcast to the crowd. When the pass is successful, the eyes have been following the ball, long having left the area where the offensive linemen are just finishing their struggle to keep some gigantic defensive lineman from getting to the quarterback. continued • never 'ntroducin„?uP'"'«icated hi re ' 9 Panasonic a" the «mera (pk^5®500) and ^^^order with its t Tech-4 freeze fr^ ^ «ereo Panasonic '^OPynghted TV hnmJ^^^''tinier Qven m ci ''e™rds 8 h^ motion o^' stereo tapes°n7 1’°'^ TV *o yomhu ‘ Court h l r^nasoni^™'^" k\ « m«mm r".

Dallas Cowboys — 100% wool sport coat and flannel slacks SUPER FAN continued Those passing plays that captivate the crowd while the offensive linemen strug­ gle in the trenches against the defense are varied. Some teams run a strictly dropback passing offense where the quarter­ back takes the snap and retreats directly behind the center. Others run play-action schemes where the quarterback fakes to a runner going into the line and rolls to the right or left to look for receivers run­ ning their patterns. Then again, there’s passing off the option. The assignments for various passing at­ tacks differ. Dropback: When the play calls for the quarterback to take the snap and retreat behind the center, staying in the protec­ tive pocket set up by his teammates, an offensive lineman must stay under con­ trol. The block is aggressive, but the line­ man cant overextend himself and let the defensive player slip inside his block. In blocking for a dropback passing situation, the lineman has to block from the inside out. The feet should be parallel and the shoulders square. The second the ball is snapped, the offensive lineman should deliver a good blow to the chest of the de­ fensive player and keep the arms ex­ tended within the width of the shoulders. Several years ago, the rules on holding were changed to allow offensive linemen to use their hands if they keep them within the width of the shoulders. Still, oftentimes that’s not enough for eager de­ fensive linemen who can’t wait to crash the party. If an offensive lineman can't maintain absolute control of his op­ ponent, he tries to run him outside of where the quarterback is setting up to pass. In dropback situations, an offensive 4t Kansas City Chiefs — Genuine 100% cotton denim Haggar® Jeans; 100% wool sport coat.

The lineman must maintain the contact, especially on the side of the center where the play is developing, because the quar­ terback is going to be gping down the line of scrimmage. Penetration by a defensive lineman can easily kill the play so the of­ fensive linepi6n must be aware of where the quart^back is at all times. Screen Pass; On this play, the offensive lineman gives the defensive player a hit, holds for one count, and then lets the player slip by him in what appears to be a clear avenue to the quarterback. The line­ man then gets out as wide as possible in the direction of the screen where he helps block for the receiver. Teams that rely strictly on a dropback attack put the most pressure on offensive linemen. "If you’re a pure dropback team, that allows the defense to lay its ears back and come after you,” said one midwestern coach. "The quarterback sets back there in the pocket and you’ve got to protect him for a certain amount of time. When the defensive line starts to mix up things with stunts, it’s tough on the offensive linemen. They’ve got to switch off. If a team moves the quarterback around, it makes it tougher on the defensive line­ man because they don’t know where the guy is going to be.’’ ^ PICTURE YOURSELF WITH THESE SUPER STARS JS THE 1983 HAGGAR SUPER IAN!

The Guard is America at its best /To one ever invented anything!" In those five simple words, spoken JL W more than a half century ago when in­ tercollegiate football was swinging along to the tune of the single and double wing formations, and the Notre Dame "Bo}c" or shft, Jess Harper dismissed all of the claims made by some of college football's most hallowed names as to who really did what to establish the basic tools for what has become the American game offootball. continued ‘Pop” Warner introduced the single and double wing formations. 7t CASUALS THAT FI INNOVATORS continued And in so doing, Harper also dismissed himself, because as coach of Notre Dame back in the teens, he was given credit for developing the forward pass after suc­ cessfully utilizing it with Knute Rockne and Gus Dorais. Harper probably was being a bit harsh on such football pioneers as Amos Alonzo Stagg, Walter Camp, Percy Haughton, Glenn (Pop) Warner, Bob Zuppke, Rockne, and such later innovators as Wal­ lace Wade and Clark Shaughnessy. This group, more than any other, really devel­ oped the tactics and techniques which we see every weekend on gridirons around the nation ... and they did most of it when there were only 46 states in the Union and the Wright Brothers’ idea of flying was still a concept whose time had not yet come. It really is a bit startling to discover that so much of what we take for granted in this sport had its genesis among so few of the game’s great immortals, most of whom were born more than a century ago. Some might consider this the first symptom of a sport gone moribund, but that really isn’t the case. After all, there is only so much you can do with eleven men on each side, playing on a field that has distinct boundaries and under rules which are most precise as to how the game will be played. It is what one does under those con­ straints that matters, and those old mas­ ters, once they divorced the sport from the rugby game, found all sorts of won­ derful maneuvers that helped to develop football’s current popularity. Each fall millions of people fill stadiums all over the country to watch ... and wonder ... and cheer. And while they’re cheering, per­ haps they—and today’s coaches, as well— could spare an extra hip-hip-hooray for the following football innovators. Amos Alonzo Stagg was part of our great-grandparents’ past, but American college football would be extinct without him, and that includes today’s game in which both teams are using the T-for- A casual that’s not sized properly, quickly loses its shape and doesn’t wear well.

Stagg invented it—and he did it nearly a century ago—in 1888—when rules changes brought linemen and backs closer together. Six years later his quar­ terbacks were taking direct snaps from the center as they do today. Even before he established those Tformation ^echanics, Stagg had installed the end-anound play in 1891 while coach­ ing at Springfield YMCA in Massachusetts (now Springfield College). Before the turn of the century, his offense included a de­ layed buck (1899) from the T-formation, allowing the QB to fake first to one back, then hand the ball to another. In 1903, his University of Chicago teams, led by quar­ terback Walter Eckersall, had a deadly quarterback keeper play, much like that used in the split-T of two decades ago and certainly the father of the keepers of to­ day’s Wishbone and Veer formations. Stagg also was the first to establish the passing game as an integral part of an of­ fense, following its legalization in 1906. His Chicago teams that year had a most sophisticated attack, including a replica of today’s play-action sequences where a quarterback will first fake a run, then drop back and pass. That team also used the sprint-out pass, crossing patterns, the use of a single flanker, or split end, and the use of double flankers as are seen in the pro-set formations. Many of these Stanford’s Clark Shaughnessy perfected the T-formation. 8t continued B 9-12.13 C 8-12,13 D 6-12,13 E 6-12 EEE 6-11,12 Which means our casual fit better, look better, and last longer.

However, a quarter-century after es­ tablishing the basic patterns for a passing attack—an offense that Harper helped to popularize while he had Rockne and Dorais at Notre Dame—Stagg tossed in the use of men in motion or "pedingers, ”as he called them, after the player on his Chi­ cago team who became the first to peel off and run to either side of the field, before sprinting downfield to catch a pass. Stagg didnt stop with the T-formation. He developed the onsides kick in 1894, then used a placekick for field goals in 1897, a feature that lay dormant for al­ most forty years, as dropkickers domi­ nated the game until the early 1930s. Stagg also had a player who could center the ball with a spiral snap, and used this talent in 1899 to introduce the short punt formation, where a kicker stood about seven yards behind the quarterback. Prior to this, the ball was rolled backward on the ground from center to be kicked. Shortly after the turn of the century, in 1904, he developed the first blocking sled, padded his goal posts to avoid injury to players in 1906 and was the first to turn his players out for spring practice in 1914. In that same era were Walter Gamp and Percy Haughton. The former is touted as the father of American football, but his most significant contribution was introducing, in 1882, the use of signals to begin a play. Haughton, like Stagg, was not wedded to the mass-power play sys­ tem that Camp had popularized, and most believe that Haughton's greatest single achievement was wresting control of the Rules Committee from Camp in 1910 and helping to unleash the forward pass. The forward pass opened up the game and made it more appealing. At the same time, the rules stipulated that the ball must be thrown five yards right or left, and five yards back of the spot where it was put into play. If the play was unsuccessful, a team was tagged with a 15-yard penalty. Haughton' helped to change those rules with the addition of an extra, or fourth, down in which to make a first down. This meant acMed protection for the passer and the ^receiver (who could be hit while the ball was in flight) and, of course, no restrictions on passing distances. Haughton, who was also Harvard’s coach during this time, is credited with first using defensive signals, and, in 1904, with developing the trap play. The wingback formations—single and double—were Pop Warner’s creations and they dominated college football from their inception in 1908-1910 until the early 1940s when the T-formation came into vogue. And they’re not dead yet since many teams use them as "shotgun” align­ ments on obvious third down passing situ­ ations. The single wing, with one back flanked outside the end, was basically a power formation ^utilizing a tailback who stood seven yajAis behind center to handle the ball. In its pure form, two tackles were set side-by-side and the heart of the offense ran through them. Warner popularized it when Jim Thorpe was his tailback at Car­ lisle and regularly beat up on the East’s larger schools. Though power was its hallmark, Warner’s agile mind instilled plenty of speed and deception, with re­ verses and passes as integral parts of his single wing offense. When he went to Stanford in the 1920s, he used the double wing, flanking both halfbacks outside the ends. This offense was built on a hard-running fullback as the lone setback, abetted by a series of double and even triple reverses. When Warner brought his Stanford team to Yan­ kee Stadium in 1928, he dazzled coaches and media alike with a devastating of­ fense built on these principles, and soon the double wing had its circle of disciples. Warner’s creative genius has left other legacies. One is the body block, which he developed in 1906 as an adjunct to the continued Who gives you investment ideas from the same source money managers ,the most?

Despite Jess Harper’s disavowal, he put the passing game on a popular plane when his Notre Dame team, with Rockne and Dorais, defeated Army in 1914. They popped the eyes of the eastern press with their well-executed passing game, a facet of play little seen in the East at that time. Harper was also the first coach to instruct his passer to throw the ball away if he couldnt find an open receiver (1915) and popularized the "shift” principle that be­ came Rockne’s hallmark—and hence the rival to Warner’s formations—for the next 15 years. Knute Rockne admitted that he was never an innovator, but he was a master salesman for the sport, as well as for his own system, which had its roots in Harper’s and Stagg’s methods. Rockne also wrote—and rewrote—coaching books which helped to inject his per­ sonality and enthusiasm into the game, particularly his ability to depart from the usual. The game became better when others followed these dictums. Bob ZuppkC; along with Warner, was perhaps Rockne’s foremost coaching ri­ val. Zuppke’s Illinois teams became pio­ neers in the passing game, as he was the first to drop back his offensive guards as pass blockers (1920). He developed the Percy Haughton was instrumental in open­ ing up the game with the forward pass. 12t Jess Harper’s Notre Dame teams demonstrated the effectiveness of a well-executed passing game. "flea-flicker pass” in 1925. In that year’s game vs. Penn, a pass went from a wouldbe punter to the right end, who then took a few steps forward to draw the tacklers, and then tossed the ball back to Red Grange. Grange picked up a screen of blockers and ran for a TD . Zuppke, who came directly from Oak Park High School, Illinois, to the Univer­ sity of Illinois as a head coach, also intro­ duced the huddle for calling signals and utilized his guards as linebackers to de­ fend against passes (1920). He was con­ stantly improving on the various spread pass formations and claims to have been the first to use the screen pass. Few dis­ pute the claim that he popularized it at Illinois in the 1920s. George Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears, revived the T in the 1930s and called Clark Shaughnessy; then coach­ ing at the University of Chicago, to help him perfect the system. Shaughnessy studied the various aspects of putting men in motion, and when he became Stanford’s head coach in 1940, took the system and had an unbeaten season, in­ cluding a victory over Nebraska in the Rose Bowl. Shaughnessy was a moody genius who forever tinkered with offenses, but his greatest fl^fr was in developing the little wrinkles—using men in motion and the slotting of receivers to open a defense and better utilize a running offense. From his success at Stanford came the revolution of the T-formation in college football, though the key to Shaughnessy’s early success was the ball-handling wiz­ ardry of QB Frank Albert, whose slickness mesmerized defenses and enabled such talented runners as Hugh Gallerneau, Pete Kmetovic and Norm Standlee to romp, and also to gain himself extra time to execute Shaughnessy’s myriad passing formations. An excellent coach for years at Alabama and Duke, Wallace Wade revolutionized the protective equipment by introducing lighter, yet better-fitting pads which ad­ ded speed and greater safety for his play­ ers.

Real pros, those guys!99 hy Glenn Dickey, San Francisco Chronicle he biggest problem college foot­ ball defenders have is not de­ fending any one individual for­ mation but working against the multiple formations that have become die vogue. "Defense is mostly recognition," says a Southeastern Conference coach. "If a team shifts from one formation into an­ other, it slows down the recognition time for the defense, and that can make the difference between a gain and a loss." T continued America's most complete athletic footwear store’' Major credit cards accepted. ~r LEARNING TO DEFEND THE FORMATIONS continued A Big Ten defensive tackle concurs. "I want to be able to react as quickly as pos­ sible/’ he says. "In the line, you don’t have time to stop and think about what’s hap­ pening. But when I’m set for one for­ mation and the offense shifts into an­ other, it takes time for me to adjust, and that slows down my reaction time.’’ The problem is just as acute for line­ backers. "When the offense shifts from one formation to another, we have to change our coverage,” says a linebacker from an eastern independent. "It’s even possible we might go from a man cov­ erage to zone, or vice versa. The offense only has to set one second after the shift. It takes us longer than that to switch, and they may catch us while we’re still on the action fake and come up too soon, I could see a pass going over my head for a touch­ down. "If I know a team is basically either a running or passing team, I can ‘cheat,’ playing one more than the other. But if they do both well. I’m between a rock and a hard place.” But even in the secondary, the multiple formations cause problems. "You take a team like San Jose State,” says a South­ west Conference defensive back. "They can run 5-6 variations on each play. They came down here to play Baylor a couple of years ago, and the Baylor DBs never did figure out what was happening to them. You’ve got to be switching coverages all the time or they’ll nickel-and-dime you all The defense must be alert for shifting formations. move. In the secondary, too, defenders have to change coverages when a shift comes, but defensive backs have a slight luxury be­ cause they’re playing further off the ball and thus have somewhat more time. Their greatest problem is what teams run out of whatever formation they’re in. "My biggest worry is a team which is really balanced between running and passing,” says a Pac-10 cornerback, "be­ cause I have two jobs: defending against a pass or helping against the run. If I’m slow coming up to support on a run, they could rip off a big gain. But if I go for a play day with those short slant passes and then, when you’re finally looking for one of those, hit you with the bomb.” The coaches have to keep alive, too. “With all the changing formations,” says a Big Eight coach, "you’ve got to make sure you’re not, for instance, caught in a nickel (five-back) defense when they’re playing two tight ends, or they’ll run right over you. "The key is watching who comes out of the game, not who goes in. A wide re­ ceiver might go in, but you dont know what that means until you see whether he’s replacing another wide reciever or a tight end or a running back. That tells you what kind of formation thby’U be in.” Some coaches believe in attacking the multiple formation offenses with multi­ ple formation defenses. A defensive coach for a midwestern independent ex­ plains it this way: "I want to use so many different defenses that an offensive coach looking at films says, ‘We can’t pos­ sibly prepare for all those defenses, so we’ll just pare our offense down to 4 or 5 plays that we can really work on .’Then, in the first half of the game, we analyze what they’re doing with their offense and attack them.” Sometimes, too, defensive coaches will try to structure their defenses in such a way that they force the offense to do something it doesn’t want to do. "If you’re playing a Wishbone team,” says a Big Eight coach, "with a quarter­ back who is a good runner but a halfback who is outstanding, you want to take away the pitch. So, you have your de­ fensive end go upf ield on every play. That way, the outstanding back might carry eight times in the game and the quarter­ back 20. You might still lose—but you’re giving yourself a better chance.” Football is a bruising game, but it’s also a cbess game, as offensive and defensive coaches continually try to get an edge. One offensive formation is successful for a while, and then the defense catches up with it and another one comes in. "I’m scared to death that somebody will come out with the single wing,” says a Big Ten coach. "I’ve never had to defense it and I’m sure it would drive everybody crazy for a while.” The Wishbone offense is a good exam­ ple of that. For a time, it was the most suc­ cessful college offense. In recent years, though, it’s been phased out; even some of the well-known Wishbone teams are us­ ing other formations this year. "One of the big reasons for its success at first was the fact that not many teams were using it,” says a Pac-10 coach. “It’s hard to defense an offense you don’t run yourself; you’ll see that running teams always have the most trouble defensively against passing teams. "That’s because you never see the plays run at full-speed in practice. You can have your ‘scout’ team (reserves and redshirts) run the plays, but they certainly aren’t go­ ing to run them with the skill or speed that a real Wishbone opponent will. So, when you get in a game, you’re shocked by how fast those backs are going by you.” Another problem was that the defense didn’t know how to stop the Wishbone at first. "The first idea,” says a Southeastern Conference coach, "was that we’d assign a specific defensive man to each offensive continued 19t LEARNING TO DEFEND THE FDRMATIDNS continued man. One man would have the quarter­ back, another man would take the trailing back, and so forth. “The problem was that the offense would figure out who was responsible for the quarterback and theyd do what they call 'load' blocking, double teaming him, and the quarterback would run free all day.” The next advance, notes a Big Ten coach, was to assign areas of re­ sponsibility, and to change them on every play, so the offense wouldnt catch on. "Then, we got more sophisticated and had players checking things off. First, they’d look for the quarterback to carry the ball; if he didnt, then they’d look for the pitch, and so forth.” But, most coaches and players agree, the Wishbone can still be a potent of­ fense. "I don’t think it’s so much that the defense caught up with it,” says the coach of an eastern independent, “as that it got harder and harder to get four good backs to run it. And, if you’ve got one really good back, you want to run him more. "I thought at one time I had that offense figured out. We beat a good Wishbone team one year, stopped them cold. But the next year, we played them again and they really drilled us. So, I have to admit, it’s a good formation.” A Southwest Conference defensive line­ man agrees. “The thing that always really impressed me about it was that it’s such a good power running formation. Every­ body gets caught up in the option play, following the flow, and then they run that fullback dive up the middle. I’ll bet if you checked most Wishbone teams, that was their big play. “And, the tough thing about playing against a Wishbone team is that you have to be so disciplined. They’re always wellbalanced, running to both sides, so you cant favor one side or the other. You have to carry out your assignment exactly, be­ cause if one man gets blocked out, that’s all it takes for them to make a big gain. “The only time I really enjoyed playing against a Wishbone was when we were ahead with not much time left. Then, they’d have to throw, and I knew we had them.” Another good running formation is the I-formation. Says a Pac-10 defender, “It’s a good power running formation. They re­ ally come at you. It’s not a real tough pass­ ing formation t«i defend against because the backs cant get out very easily as pass receivers. “If you can match up physically against a team, the I-formation doesnt present a lot of problems.” The best passing formation is, of course, the pro set, with split backs. “Good passing teams can get five re­ ceivers out from that formation,” says a Big Ten coach, “and that puts a lot of pres­ sure on the DBS and linebackers. You’d better have people that can cover.” And now, the trend in college ball is to use a single running back with two wide receivers and two tight ends. That puts pressure on the defense in several ways. “The vogue in college ball has been to have fewer people on the defensive front, but when the offense puts three blockers on both sides of the ball, the defense has to have more people up front,” says a Pac10 coach. “It gives the offense perfect balance, be­ cause they can run to either side, with the tight end leading the blocking. Or, they can use either tight end as a pass receiver and give the defense fits if they don’t have somebody who can cover. “I don’t know any offensive formation that is easy to stop—but I’d have to say that’s the hardest one going now.” ^ Redskins, 1983 World Champions Dolphins, 1983 AFC Champions BUSHNELL Quality £^rdier than die eye can see* Bushnell Binoculars.

He doesn’t like to talk about what he calls “the keys,’’ those subtle signals he picks up and uses to influence a defensive lineman this way, or wrestle that way. Nope, private stuff. When you’ve got the edge, you hang on to it like a sack of macadamia nuts. No blabbing it to some newspaper for every lineman in America to read. However, in the interests of honest reporting, our pal the lineman agreed to let us in on one of his deepest, darkest secrets with the promise that his name and mouthguard be changed to protect his identity. Remember this. You never know when you’ll be walking down the street and a 280-pound tackle will jump out from continued on the play.

On the line. But on plays when I was getting ready to catch a pass, I wiped twice. On the line and in the huddle. I gave myself away every time.’’ The wide-out’s reply: “I hope those DBs (defensive backs) aren’t seeing every­ thing you are.’’ Right there, the wide-out resolved never to commit another towel tip- off. You’ll know him when you see him. He’s the guy who always has his hands in terrycloth—on the line, in the huddle and in his business law classes. Defensive backs sometimes look at a running back’s feet ora receiver’s eyes to get an edge the racer’s edge, an appendix to the playbook. We’re not talking about trick plays, about draws, end-arounds and misdirec­ tion. Or even the more exotic shenani­ gans like the Statue of Liberty, flea-flicker or Bumerooski. Nope, we’re talking big-league decep­ tion here, sleight of hand worthy of the Amazing Kreskin. At this point, we should pause to slice our discussion of college football trickery into two main categories: Category No. 1: tricks, reads, edges (legal). Category No. 2: tricks, reads, edges (leg­ end). Let’s deal with the second category first. "I never saw this,” prefaced a Division I coach, a little too insistently. "Years ago, back when I was an assis­ tant, I remember hearing about one fella making it so he’d never fumble the foot­ ball again as long as he lived. behind a garbage can. "I look at'fingertips,’’ our lineman said. At what? countered the glib reporter. "Fingertips,”our lineman repeated. Are you going to be a manicurist? "No, I'm serious. One look at the tips of a guy’s fingers and I usually can tell if a big pass rush is coming.” You’re joking. “Nope.” How does that work? "If the guy’s fingertips change color, that means he’s really coming out hard.” Say what? "It’s simple. If he’s coming out hard he wants to get a big ol’ jump off the ball, like a human slingshot or something. After the snap, he’s all over you. The only way I know to do that is to put all your weight forward, to lean into it so much you can hardly keep from falling flat on your face. When a guy does that he’s got all his weight on his fingertips. “Have any idea what that does to his fingertips?” When it comes to American athletes, athletes train for international as well as Subaru offers all around support. national level competitions.

"As long as you’d watch that fella run, as hard as you’d see him get hit, he never fumbled. He held onto the ball just like it was stuck to him.” And there’s the story of the too-tight jersey. “Our linemen were getting thrown around something terrible one year,” said a veteran assistant coach and offensive coordinator. “It got to the point where we had to do something. 26t again.

Foot fault. “Sometimes I’ll look into the backfield and see a running back’s feet pointed off trained in a particular direction, can tip off a defender. One defensive back tells of covering a receiver, one of the best in his conference, who had a habit of lifting his eyes in the direction of the route he was about to run. “It took me a while to catch on,” he said, “but once I did,it was the eas­ iest day I ever had.” And there are others. Some won’t be printed because the players who use them insist they remain secret. Others simply are too saucy for the printed page. But they’re out there, being used and abused. “If it helps,” one player said, “I want to know about it.” G r "--V ' / ■ "--XL '.' r I ’ 1 22 million dollars’worth of ballplayers listen to me 1 listen to E.E Elutton.

We’ve won it for a few years now, and I think they want to keep it. "We bring it down the week of the game and tell the kids about it. And then we take it with us each game, because we have to turn it over if we lose. Our manag­ ers have a felt sleeve for it, and they bring it along." (Presumably, the managers wouldnt mind leaving it behind every once in a while instead of lugging it back and forth.) "Things could change, though. This is the first time in a long time we don't end the season with Minnesota. Now they’re continued 29t Not-So-Pamous Trophies in the middle of our schedule. Tharf might make the axe more meaningful. Before, it was the end of the season against a big rival and the game was the important thing. I think the axe may become more of a factor now.” To be sure, the axe is only one of many such football trophies exchanged be­ tween schools. Many of them are not quite as famous as California and Stan­ ford’s axe or Minnesota and Michigan’s Little Brown Jug or Indiana and Purdue’s Old Oaken Bucket, but they are every bit as much a part of college football. There are, for instance, at least four Victory Bells (Cincinnati-Miami of Ohio, Duke-North Carolina, Pacific-San Jose State and Southern Cal-UCLA); one regu­ lar Bell (Nebraska-Missouri); one Mission Bell (Long Beach State-Fullerton), and one Blue Key Victory Bell, named for an hon­ orary organization at Ball State, which goes to the winner of the annual Ball State-Indiana State game. There are at least three Governor’s Cups (Alabama-Auburn, Florida-Florida State and Kansas-Kansas State); one Gov­ ernor’s Trophy (Utah-Utah State); one Al­ umni Governor’s Cup (DartmouthPrinceton) and one governor’s cup that masquerades as something called the Broomhead Trophy, donated by Fred Broomhead for the winner of the BrownRhode Island game. On a lower level, politically speaking, there is one Mayor’s Cup (San Diego-San Diego State) and one Mayor’s Trophy (Southern Methodist-Texas Christian). And there are all sorts of Memorial tro­ phies, named after alumni or off icials: the Charles L. Anspach Trophy (Central Michigan-Eastern Michigan); the Norman E. Tice Memorial (Yale-Connecticut); the Class of 1915 Trophy (Cornell-Dartmouth); the Commander in Chief Trophy (Army-Navy-Air Force); the Centennial Trophy (Princeton-Rutgers), and even the Paul Bunyan Trophy, although Bunyan, a native Minnesotan, may seem a little out of place at the Michigan-Wisconsin State game. There are two Rags (Louisiana StateTulane and Northwestern LouisianaLouisiana); two Shillelaghs (Notre Dame— who else would use an Irish walking stick as a trophy—Purdue and Notre DameSouthern Cal) and a Flag (McNeese StateSouthwestern Louisiana). And there are plenty of f^iirly obvious trophies: the Megaphone (Michigan StateNotre Dame); the Cannon (IllinoisPurdue); the Bronze Boot (Colorado StateWyoming); the Bronze Cowboy Hat (Oklahoma-Texas); the Apple Cup (Washington-Washington State); the Old Brass Spitoon (Indiana-Michigan State); the Tomahawk (Illinois-Northwestern); For personally signed Ken Davies print, 18" x 19", send $10. payable to “ANCO", Box 2832-TD, NYC, 10163 Arizona and New Mexico fight each year for the Kit Carson Rifie. the Bayou Classic (Grambling-Southern); the Bayou Bucket (Houston-Rice) and the Kit Carson Rifle (Arizona-New Mexico). All of them are named for items found near or representative of their locations. Except, perhaps the Beer Barrel (Kentucky-Tennessee). Somehow whis­ key or bourbon seems more appropriate. There are a few that are not quite as obvious. Old Ironsides, for instance, is a heavy, three-sided iron pyramid, donated in 1951 by the Pittsburgh Junior Chamber of Commerce for the overall winner in head-to-head competition between Pitts­ burgh, Penn State and West Virginia. The Golden Egg, named because of a football’s resemblance to the shape of an egg, was started in 1927 by the student bodies of Mississippi and Mississippi State and goes to the winner of that annual game. The Bell Clapper, which is exchanged between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, got its start in 1931 when some Oklahoma fans climbed the bell tower at Oklahoma A&M (now Oklahoma State) and stole the bell clapper from inside the bell. Now they give it back if Oklahoma State wins, and vice versa. Representatives of Oklahoma and Mis­ souri, dressed in ceremonial robes, continued Always On The Move The Wild Turkey instinctively seeks “elbow room!’ If the bird senses any encroachment on its territory, it will travel many miles a day in search of a remote swamp or forest preserve.

LAWRENCEBURG, KENTUCKY ® 1982 30t Not-So-Pamous Trophies continued smoke the Peace Pipe on the field at half­ time of their games, a tradition started in 1929 by honorary groups at both schools. The winner of the Missouri-Iowa State game gets the Telephone Trophy, which has a pretty unusual beginning. It seems that before a Missouri-Iowa State game in 1959, Coach Dan Devine of Missouri and one of his assistants put on their headsets, and the wires were all tangled up. As a result, they could hear the Iowa State coaches. Devine, fearing that Iowa State could hear Missouri’s plans, got quite up­ set, and, later that season, tried to set up a relay system using telephones from the press box. Those wires got crossed, too, and finally Devine settled on walkietalkies. Northwestern Bell of Ames, how­ ever, had a golden telephone made into a trophy to commemorate the incident. The Beehive Boot, named after the bee­ hive because it is a symbol of activity and industry, is an old, mounted, leather boot that goes to the best football team in the state of Utah among Brigham Young, Utah, Utah State and Weber State. Utah State and Weber State dont meet as often since Weber State dropped into Division I-AA, but they compete for the Bear Trap, which is just that—a bear trap VMI and the Citadel battle each year for possession of the Silver Shako Trophy. 32t mounted on a block of wood. There are a few trophies that are down­ right mysteries to outsiders. The Silver Shako, for example, between the Citadel and VMI. According to Ath­ letic Director Edward Teague of the Cit­ adel, a shako is a cadet’s dress hat with an elongated plume. The Silver Shako is an actual hat, silver-plated, and mounted on a walnut base. Or there’s the Sabine Shoe between Southwestern Louisiana and Lamar. It’s named for the river that runs between Texas and Louisiana. That area was settled by the Caddo Indi­ ans, hence,Chief Caddoisan eight-foot tall wooden statue of an Indian chief, that goes to the winner of the Northwestern Louisiana-Stephen F. Austin State game. The cheerleaders of the schools have to haul the chief around in a yan from game to game. A couple of live animals have had their plans in the football rivalries, too. In 1935, Floyd of Rosedale was a national cham­ pionship hog, who became the object of a wager between the governors of Iowa and Minnesota. Now he is a 15V2-inch bronze statue that goes to the winner of that game. Illibuck was a turtle that went to the winner of the Illinois-Ohio State game, starting in 1925. But the turtle died in 1927, and now the Illibuck is a wooden replica. Members of the honorary soci­ eties of the schools meet on the field at halftime to smoke the peace pipe and pay homage. A couple of supposed trophies are mys­ teries even to the schools. Idaho and Mon­ tana are supposed to play for the Little Brown Stein/and Idaho and Idaho State are supposed to play for the Gem Bowl, but officials in Idaho have no idea what or where the trophies are. The Idaho schools will admit, however, to playing for what one official called the “world’s ugliest trophy’’ in basketball—the King Spud Trophy, a 30-pound, silver potato. Other than the mysterious trophies in Idaho, all of the trophies have traditions behind them. Some are hotly contested; some are mere souvenirs of a game. But, undoubtedly, the winners are proud to have them, for as long as possible. In Villanova’s case, that’s a long time. Temple and Villanova used to play for the Quaker City Award, a sculpture of two cast iron football players on a pedestal, created by sculptor Joe Brown. But Vil­ lanova quit playing football two years ago, and, as a result of its 32-7 victory over Temple, retired the Quaker City Award. Few trophies—no matter how famous or infamous—mean so much as that— that a school would drop its entire foot­ ball program just to keep one. 0. !

HOME REMEDY e is the glamour boy of the backfield. He racks up the yardage, hogs the headlines and monopo­ lizes the post-season honors. If you want to be a football hero, pick up a pigskin and run with it. But don’t do it from just anywhere in the backfield — take a few steps back, so that you ’re deep, deep behind the line of scrimmage. Then you can call yourself a tailback and you just may be ticketed for glory. Since 1965, the first year a dictionarydefinition tailback won a Heisman Tro­ phy, nine others have followed in Mike Garrett’s footsteps. Traditional running backs, operating out of Wishbone or Veer formations, won the Heisman only three times during that span. “I consider myself the prototype,” said Garrett, who parlayed his football notori­ ety into a political career in San Diego, Calif. 'When I went to USC, I knew John McKay used an I-formation and I thought it was a peculiar looking offense. But I just wanted to play football, so I didn’t care. ” When Garrett entered college, a run­ ning back usually carried the ball 10 or 12 times a game. Yet his number was called more than twice that much, which set a precedent. "The fear, at the time, was that a single player couldn’t take that kind of beating,” Garrett said. "I proved that he could, and from then on, coaches weren’t afraid to use their best running back on every play.” Garrett had a unique combination of qualities—specifically speed and deter­ mination—that enabled him to establish the tailback position. His most successful successors have those same attributes. “Any great tailback must have a natural instinct to feel seams in a defense,” said a West Coast coach. "But that’s assuming he’s fast enough and strong enough to take advantage. The great one anticipates those openings and then attacks them with his ability. "He has to be able to cut back, to adjust on the run. If he runs to daylight, then H continued TAILBACK continued he's a tailback.” "What we look for,” said a Southwest­ ern Conference coach, "is a player who puts out that extra effort, and has the moves and speed to make people miss him.” As one famous eastern coach said, "Sheer speed is not the only answer. The tailback has to have the ability to make the linebacker miss him. He has to have the ability to change directions, to get what I call ‘the hidden yards.’ "Sure, there are certain parameters of speed, size and balance. He has to be dura­ ble, physically tough. Any time we recruit a guy with a lot of natural athletic ability, we’ll give him the ball, just to make sure we’re not passing up a natural runner.” But the coaches agreed—and Garrett insisted—that it is an intangible "some­ thing extra” that makes a great tailback. "All too often, we talk about quickness, size and strength,” Garrett said. “The rea­ son an individual is successful is because he wants to succeed—at all costs. The trait I see that bonds ail the great tailbacks is a strong personality and a will to win. And that, of course, is true of anyone suc­ cessful in any field.” A tailback has to have a special type of personality. He has to love the challenge of the position. He is the glory guy on the team, and some youngsters handle that better than others. As one former college tailback said, "The adulation is easy to accept, because that’s what every player wants. But it’s difficult to handle—unless you really know who you are before all the publicity hits you.” Great tailbacks retain the ability to con­ centrate, even though they are in the limelight. They feel they are the best— and still want to improve every season. For example, one exemplary tailback, known for his strength, relentlessly con­ tinued to lift weights. A young man’s personality is a big factor in his success. "It’s an ingredient you have to work on,” a coach said. "It’s part of the overall struc­ ture of the team.” One important aspect of personality is the tailback’s effect on the linemen who block for him. He has a direct influence on the people in front of him. If they can give him blocking, they like to know he can do it on his own. If he’s encouraging them, he’ll receive better individual blocking. He has to have a great rapport with those people. A former tailback said he could inspire his linemen by his consistent yardage gains—"leadership by performance,” he called it. "The guys up front like to get it over with in a hurry, so they appreciate a guy 56t who can get the job done. If he appre­ ciates them and lets them know it, you can see the evidence.” The evidence, of course, is statistical. The tailback is glamorous because he han­ dles the ball so much. He gets the ball most of the time, gets the numbers, and gets the glory. But he also get^ the bumps and bruises. As Garrett pdin|ed out, coaches used to think it was more abuse than one body could take. "A tailback must have the ability to re­ cover quickly and play in pain,” said one head coach, who estimates his tailback handles the ball between 30 and 40 times a game. "He has to be able to cope with that punishment. Because he gets the ball more, teams zero in on him.” But for most tailbacks, the glory far out­ weighs the beating. For one thing, a natu­ rally competitive person wants the ball all the time and doesnt think about the ulti­ mate tackle. "It’s like a ballerina,” said a former tailback. "She has to get the bun­ ions if she wants to create the beauty.” More and more teams are employing the I-formation. In some cases, they want to take advantage of an exceptional run­ ning back in the program—why divide ball-carrying duties between him and another, less accomplished runner in the backfield when he can be in on virtually every play? Other coaches simply believe that the I is a more versatile formation, one that enhances the passing game with­ out detractihg from the running game. “The \yishbone doesn’t capitalize on one outstanding back,” said one coach. "The I offers a more balanced running at­ tack, and also is a good passing formation. "There are more and more good kids playing football, so it’s not so hard to find a tailback. Every year, there are 30-40 great running backs, even if only four or five are truly unusual.” College coaches first look for prospec­ tive tailbacks among the pool of high school running backs. But the best high school athlete often plays quarterback; he too, can be a candidate for the tailback job. Heisman Trophy winners John Cappelletti and Marcus Allen both were signal-callers before they went to college. "More and more great high school run­ ning backs are demanding an I-formation,” said one college coach. "A team that has featured the tailback for several years sometimes has a better chance of recruit­ ing a great high school back.” Obviously the high school stars know what’s good for-them. If they want their statistics to glimmer, they want to be tailbacks.

It’s Still Winning Football Games by Al Browning t was on the first Saturday in Novem­ ber of 1869, the sixth day of the month, that 50 players, 25 from Princeton and 25 from Rutgers, competed in the first college football game. Rutgers won six goals to four, but only after a professor from Rutgers witnessed the bodies crashing into each other and chastised the combatants: "You men will come to no Christian end!” There were 100 or so spectators at that I game played in New Brunswick, N.J., which is a far cry from the 100,000-plus crowds that annually pack huge stadiums today. Also, of course, playing rules have changed drastically, along with scoring procedures, and, as everybody knows, the game has taken on a strikingly differ­ ent appearance. It was a combination of rugby and soccer that delighted fans in the first game, which featured almost continuous motion. Now, the best of those two sports are combined with Americanmade innovations to produce one of the most exciting games in the world. Gone are most of the facets of play used by Rutgers and Princeton in their first football game. But the lateral pass remains, as football fans saw near the end of last season, when California used five such continued ONLY PONTIAC HAS IT. OR ANYTHING UKE lY continued maneuvers to win a game on a midnighthour kickoff return. Granted, that play was a little wild, but it is interesting to note that the lateral pass, known as the "backwards pass" in NCAA rulebooks, was an offensive ploy in the first college game, and that five lateral passes pro­ vided us with perhaps the strangest con­ clusion to a college football game in mod­ ern history. In fact, when Rutgers and Princeton played the first game, there was no other way for teammates to exchange pos­ session of the football except through the use of a lateral pass. Amazingly, that makes the lateral pass and the fair catch the only two facets of play in the first game that are still used in football today. "The backwards pass (lateral pass) has been used since they blew up the first football,” said Coacb Dave Nelson of the University of Delaware, who since 1961 has served as secretary and editor of The NCAA Football Rulebook. "The backwards pass is as old as the game, even older if you consider the start of football to have taken place in 1906, when the forward pass was legalized. That is when the third dimension was added to the game, joining running and kicking. "It is interesting to note that there were 61 rules written in the first rulebook for football, and tbe backwards pass was in­ cluded. It is, in fact, one of only seven original rules still in the book. That first rulebook was written in 1876, when our first rules committee was formed. That tells you know long the backwards pass has been in use.” The lateral pass has had a distinguished history in football. It was at first basic, then ultra-successful, then forgotten, then reborn, and now it is complex; a sci­ entific offensive weapon that takes both skillful ball-handling and timing expertise to work properly. "I recall reading a story once about how impressed (Coach) Walter Camp was when watching an Australian rugby team play on the West Coast,” said Nelson. "That team destroyed an American team by making use of tbe backwards pass. Coach Camp was impressed by scores like 55-0, so he started thinking about making better use of tbe backwards pass in football. "When I played at Michigan in the 1930s, Minnesota was particularly adept when it came to backwards passes. I can recall Minnesota making several on one play, two or three beyond the line of scrimmage. "Even today, with offensive schemes as complex as they are, I doubt coaches really make good use of backwards passes. A lot can be done in that area.” A lot has already been done.. . . Difficult to defend: the about-to-be-tackled player keeps the play alive with the lateral. Writing in the Saturday Evening Post in September of 1926, Coach Amos Alonzo Stagg related action from the YalePrinceton game in 1876; "Walter Camp, a freshman, got the ball out of the scrum­ mage early in the first half and made a long run. Just as he was tackled, he passed the ball to O.D. Thompson, who continued on for the first touchdown by Yale. Princeton protested that the pass had been forward and therefore illegal. The referee tossed a coin to decide, and Yale won the toss and the touchdown was allowed.” In 1930, Coach Jimmie Knox of Harvard said this about the lateral pass; "The lat­ eral pass as a play has been in football al­ most from the beginning. But it was in a distinctly haphazard form with the ex­ ception of definite plays, which were used as substitutes for old wedge plays at the beginning of the game. One of the early instances in which the play was used was in the Harvard-Yale game in 1894, when Cameron Forbes, who was then head coach of the freshmen, taught the Harvard youngsters a definite lateral. When this play was used against Yale, it gained 57 yards and completely fooled Yale ends and backs, the runner being caught from behind at the Yale 15-yard line . . . "In 1914, Frank Hinkey came to Yale as coach after seeing a great many Canadian rugby games. He built his attack around lateral passes. He used a formation in which one man stood fairly close behind center and was a definite threat for straight-ahead runs. Another man far­ ther out and farther to the rear could get the ball on a lateral pass, and he in turn was a threat as a runner or as a forward passer. Still farther out and farther to the rear was another back, and his threats were also threefold.. . . "The start of the 1886 HarvardPrinceton game reads like a rugger match: Brooks,dribbles and lateral passes to Sears. As the latter is tackled by Cowan, Sears flips the ball sideways to Porter, who makes 20 yards before being thrown by Irvine.’ Later, ‘Fletcher shoots a long side pass to Burgess, who makes 30yards.’ "Though Notre Dame outrushed Yale by a wide margin in 1914, the Elis won 28-0 on long gainer plays developing out of flank maneuvers.” Hinkey was so dedicated to an offense heavy in lateral passes that he imported Canadian rugby experts to tutor his backs. The lyric rhythm and flowing con­ tinuity they taught worked wonders. In 1898, Stagg devised a lateral pass in which an end carried the football after receiving it from the quarterback. The end ran across behind his line and tossed the football to one of his halfbacks, who had circled back. Thus, a reverse run was on the books. In 1894, Stagg had used a lateral pass on a kickoff, the receiver throwing the foot­ ball to an end or halfback, in baseball fashion. / In 1916, Illinois used a lateral pass downfield after a short pass over the middle of the line. Coach Andy Kerr of Colgate was a wiz­ ard when it came to lateral passes. Said Harvard Coach Lloyd Jordan: "I have never seen a man who could take an idea and develop it to the extent Kerr could.” In 1934, Colgate defeated Tulane 20-6. On a punt, four Colgate players handled the football and gained 40yards. What do we have in football now? Actu­ ally, much of the same. The “quick pitch” is still used effectively by teams, provided a speedy running back is in stock, but it has become the most basic of a multitude of lateral passes used today. The Wishbone offense, with its triple option philosophy, was instrumental in making the lateral pass a viable weapon on a par with tbe long forward pass and tbe bomb. And, while it is becoming out­ dated, it also bas the distinction of forcing statisticians to rethink their trade.

PONTIAfcWWE BUILD EXCITEMENT continued often in the Wishbone, the quarterback will run around end and move upfield with a trailing running back. When a de­ fensive player converges, the quarter­ back makes a lateral pass to the trailing running back, who moves further up­ field. Hence, rushing yardage must be given to two players. Pity those statisticians who had to de­ termine who ran for what yardage on that five-lateral pass kickoff return last season on the West Coast. Do you recall the "flea-flicker” pass? That, too, is not in use as much these days as it was in the 1960s and the early 1970s. But it remair > a deadly weapon when the proper surprise element is used. On that play, the quarterback makes a forward pass to a receiver, who in turn makes a lateral pass to a teammate running be­ hind him, ala the Illinois play from 1910. The "flea-flicker” pass first earned fame in 1965 on national television. A forward pass was made to the tight end, who in turn made the lateral pass to a running back. After that 18-17 upset, the “fleaflicker” became known in the Deep South as "the Georgia play.” Football is not rugby, only the result of that sport, but the mass of lateral passes used today make it appear similar to that style of the game at times. There are times when lateral passes are even made to husky, surprised linemen, at which time a scrum in forward (slow) motion develops. For the most part, however, zip is associ­ ated with lateral passes—the quarter­ back to a running back, the quarterback to a split end (a pitching and catching vari­ ation to the Statue of Liberty play), and the quarterback to a running back, who returns the football to the quarterback, usually by way of a handoff, who passes it forward to a receiver running downfield. Fans go nuts when a play like the latter is a success and absolutely crazy when the pass receiver makes a lateral pass to an­ other teammate trailing him. How valuable is the lateral pass to an offense? To a man, several coaches say it has both a basic value and a surprise value. Everybody uses a pitchout from time to time, but not everybody uses three pitchouts on one play. "Lateral passing causes defenses a lot of headaches, not to speak of hours of prep­ aration,” said a respected defensive coor­ dinator from a southern school. "If an op­ posing team is adept at running the option play, well, the headaches are more severe. You can never tell who the next pitch might be going to. "The lateral pass forces you to use all kinds of defenders against it. Ends obvi­ ously have to be concerned with it, as well as linebackers. What a lot of people fail to realize is that defensive halfbacks and safeties must be conscious of it, too. I re­ ally hate to face an option quarterback, who can pass on the run. That can drive defensive halfbacks and safeties up a wall, particularly if you try to play manto-man pass defense. When that happens, a halfback or safety must run with the re­ ceiver assigned to him. What happens if the quarterback pitches the ball to a trailing back, instead of passing it? "When you play a team prone to make a lot of lateral passes—art option team — you have to teach the defenders to play a cat-and-mouse game. They have to give the appearance of going in one direction, when they really have intentions of going in another direction. Sometimes, the de­ fense has to fool the offense to keep it from fooling the defense with a lateral pass.” A Some folks settle for the end zone, Without Jensen speakers, you’re not all there.’ ril take the 30-yard line every time.

"The two tight end offense gives you, in effect, two strong sides.’’ The two tight end offense’s popularity in college football has blossomed in re­ cent years.

But how often you see it really depends on who’s run­ ning the offense. There are two ways the two tight end offense can be used. One is with two run­ ning backs and a flanker (the second tight end taking the place of the other re­ ceiver); the other is with one running back and two wide receivers (the second tight end taking the place of the other back). By keeping the backfield intact, a team maintains its ability to mask its intentions with misdirection plays. On the other hand, it loses a deep threat, so most of its passing is of the ball-control varietydelays, short hooks, short crossing pat­ terns. Not that that makes life any easier for the defense. With two tight ends and two wide re­ ceivers, a team has the ability to attack the entire field with its passing game and the defense is forced into sideline-to-sideline coverage. "You can take away wide receivers with a double-zone coverage,” one coach said. "But it’s hard to double-cover backs and it’s almost impossible to double-cover two tight ends.” "You can play everybody man-to-man across the board and bring both safeties closer to the line,” another coach said. "But when you do that, you’re leaving the middle of the field open to the wide re­ ceivers.” The most important man in the two tight end offense with one running back is the running back. He must be part juke­ box, part cheetah. The offensive load sits on his shoulders, and should it fall off, the formation’s punch becomes a half­ hearted pinch. Some coaches believe it is the ease with which contemporary defenses can make wide receivers seem invisible that led to the origin of the two tight end offense. Others feel it is a spinoff of formations in which a running back is positioned near or on the line of scrimmage. Somebody had the brilliance to realize that a tight end—with his blocking and receiving skills—would be more effective in that role. In any event, the trend has had a major influence on recruiting. Coaches now find themselves searching for two and even three quality tight ends, when, real­ istically, they know they ’ll be lucky if they can land just one. "That’s one of the toughest positions to recruit,” one coach noted. An exceptional tight end has to be able to block, run pass routes, catch passes ... everything. He has to be a very versatile guy, and he just continued xT p s A 0 R E D A i;- U X P 1 0 X A 1 B J :<3 R 1 Z z L 1 E s) M E L H K A C F nE A N G R E E n) I 0 \S 0 xC N N I T K N A (s A L U K z L E z 0.

Of course, there are times when both tight ends are able to give the defense fits without throwing blocks or running pass patterns. They do it by going in motion. ‘You can go from a balanced line to an unbalanced line, with both tight ends on Gridiron binoculars. vision - 499 feet spend time watching libu get coated lenses, and the s^e tod of craftsmanship in Fbntox brnoculois os you get in our cameras. the same side,” one coach said. "Or you can go from an unbalanced line to a bal­ anced line. Or you can have them start in one direction, then turn around and go back the other way.” That kind of motion may cause a de­ fense or two to scratch its head, and if any appreciable yardage is gained, curse. ‘Everything in defense is specialized these days,” one coach said. "You’ve got the Nickel, the Dime. Depending on the down and distance, you’re going to have specialists on the field. And now it looks like the offenses are doing the same thing.” But there is reason to believe coaches throughout the country eventually will devise better ways of handling the two tight end offense, that they’ll get it to the point where defenses can be just as dis­ honest as always. For now, the only known way to combat it is with execution. ‘‘Using two tight ends is like telling the defense, ‘My guys are better than your guys, and we re going to prove it,”’ one coach explained.

Why are a lot of college men and women becoming buddies in Army ROTC? Probably because Army ROTC is full of the kind of people other people go out of their way to meet. ROTC students tend to be high achievers who are interested in more than their studies. They’re popular students with a serious side, but who like to have a good time, too. In other words, when people join Army ROTC they often meet people a lot like them­ selves. For more information, contact your Professor of Military Science. ARMY ROTC. BEALLYOUCANBE.
