SPECIAL EDITION $1.00 EDINBORO STATE vs LOCK HAVEN ST October 23, 1976 - 2:00 p.m, sox HARRISON STADIUM Vastly Improved Lock Haven Challenges Fighting Scots charts with 88 stops, while Doran owns 77 hits and Engelman is close behind with 72 thumps to his credit. The major problem for the Eagles has been their offense where tailback Charlie Lucas is the shining light. The 6-2, 215 lb. sophomore is second behind the Scots' Dave Green in the West's rushing charts with 433 yards in six games and a 4.5 per carry average. MG—RON GOODEN The Fighting Scots have kept their Conference hopes alive with a pair of last quarter victories against Indiana and Clarion. Wide receiver Howard Hackley, who has broken all of Edinboro's pass receiving records and is on the verge of setting another one today, grabbed a 60-yard toss from quarterback Mike Hill with seven minutes left to give the Scots an 8-5 win over Indiana. Hill and Hackley combined with 43 seconds remaining against Clarion this past Saturday for a 45-yard strike to disappoint a homecoming crowd of 10,000 at Clarion as ESC posted a 25-20 comefrom-behind verdict. The senior receiving ace needs only 43 yards in today's game to break a record he set last year of DT—RICK McMAHON TODAY'S GAME If Edinboro State expects to stay alive in the Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division race, the Scots must guard against being lulled into a false sense of security when they face a 1-5 Lock Haven team today. The invading Bald Eagles have been superb defensively in their last two outings after dropping a tightly contested 7-0 game to unbeaten league-leader Shippensburg this past Saturday and then being edged in the final three minutes, 9-6, by 599 yards in one season. Returning alumni will also get an opportunityto view one of the top backs in the nation in the Scots' Dave Green who is averaging 119 yards per game. Green also came away with a superb effort against Clarion State when he finished with 111 yards in 27 tries against the vaunted Eagle defense. Clarion two weeks ago. While the offensive unit has been able to come up with the big play in the last two weeks, Edinboro's defense against the rush has become one of the best in the nation. The middle three of the Scots' front line, along with both linebackers, have terrorized opposing running backs by allowing only 85 yards per game on the ground. The Bald Eagles have led the Western stats in rushing defense until this week when Edinboro State took over the top perch with its impressive 85.3 yards per game allowance on the ground. Lock Haven owns the runnerup spot now by yielding only 102 yards per game to enemy running attacks. Top tackier among the hard-hitting quintet has been sophomore linebacker Jim Krentz (6-2, 225) with 72 stops and two interceptions. Close behind him are 6-4, 250 lb. middle guard Ron Gooden (66) and 6-3, 230 lb. tackle Jeff Shaw (65). Shaw has recovered the loose pigskin three times, while Gooden has pounced on two fumbles. The leaders for the Eagle defensive unit have been linebacker Len Rucci, middle guard Jim Doran (6-1, 245) and tackle Dan Engelman(6-1,240). Rucci heads the tackle TODAY'S FEATURES Linebacker Greg Sullivan (6-1, 195) and tackle Rick McMahon (6-2, 225) round out the crop of hard-hitting helmet thumpers with respective 59 and 54 tackle totals.

SALUTING THE 1926 EDINBORO FOOTBALL TEAM (3-3) In 1926, Edinboro’s intercollegiate football history began when the College became a fouryear degree granting institution and for the first time played a complete intercollegiate schedule against other four-year institutions. Exactly 50 years ago, Edinboro played in its first homecoming game ever when Coach Sox Harrison’s chargers “lost in a clean, hard fought struggle that either team might have won with the necessary luck and breaks. The following excerpt has been taken from the 1927 yearbook, the Conneautteean, which describes the 1926 season and helps commemorate this, the Golden Anniversary of Homecomings at Edinboro State College: “Prospects for the 1927 season were very bright when the initial squad reported for practice, and learned that Andy Shaner, formerly of the Penn State varsity, was signed to assist Coach Harrison in the job of welding together a team that Edin­ boro might be proud of. “Two more bad injuries cropped up in this game and the team journeyed to Kent with several substitutes playing in the lineup. When Edinboro is beaten by a clean-playing team, with fair officials, we have no alibi to offer, but the officials secured by the Ohio college left much to be desired. “It seems that nowadays every school has its traditional rival, for which they point their entire efforts. With us it is Slippery Rock. This game was the big event of the year. It suffices to say that we lost to a clean, hard-playing, better team of fellows, and we are not ashamed of it. Edinboro’s motto was ‘No matter whether we win or not, play clean and hard.’ ” “Came the necessary fundamentals and hard work that ^ well rounded team must have and then our first game. Polish College was stamped, but our victory over them did nOt mean one-tenth as much as the completo route of the Indiana team - 16-6. 1B “By this time injuries became quite pre­ valent and the squad was weakened to the extent that we could not have our regular scrimmage sessions, so essential in developing team work and smoothness. West Liberty Normal was met on our home field, and the game sure was a thriller. We lost in a clean, hard fought struggle that either team might have won with the necessary luck and breaks. 1C Wfe give your mouth more reasons to cheer. "Presenting The Famed Marching Scots Band . . It’s “Philadelphia Freedom” time with the Scots band at Three Rivers Stadium. Today Edinboro State fans will be able to witness the half-time show produced in Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Stadium on September 19 when the Scot band provided the half-time entertainment for the Pittsburgh Steelers - Cleveland Browns professional football game. The appearance at Three Rivers Stadium was the fourth straight as last year the ESC marchers were featured on national television when they performed for the Steelers-Kansas City Chiefs game. The show features "The Election of 1976’’ and the band will play such familiar tunes as Happy Days Are Here Again, A Sign of the Times, and then the band salutes the democratic candidate with a southern favorite, Swanee, and continues by acknowledging the republican candidate with the Michigan Fight Song. To remind us of our sovereign right to elect a candidate by popular ballot, the Marching Scot band will form a bell while playing the popular Philadelphia Freedom. The nationally renowned Marching Scot band is under the direction of John Little and Ron Byerly. Mr. Little is in his first year as ESC’s marching band director having previously served as director of bands at Valparaiso University and having conducted bands in the public schools of Indiana and Kentucky. In addition to their appearance at the Steeler’s game, the Marching Scot band performs at all of Edinboro’s home games and two away football These candies are on sale in the stadium now 2 games. Productions for the 1976 season in ad­ dition to "The Election of 1976’’ are "The Big Band Sounds of 1976,’’ "The Television Scene of 1976’’ and "The Music of 1976.’’' Drum major for the Marching Scots is Steve Barber, a graduate of Johnstown Central High School in Johnstown, Pa.

We know because we make more cables, in more styles than anyone else. halfbacks,” continued Ramsey. ”ln our first games with the Wishbone, we tied Houston, lost to Texas Tech, and then started a 30-game winning streak against Oklahoma State. In those three games, the fullback was too close to the line to do much good. "Against Oklahoma, we moved full­ back Steve Worster back a step and we came of age, driving 80 yards in the last 2 minutes to gain a comefrom-behind victory. James Street took over at quarterback after our loss to Texas Tech and he never lost a game.” The Wishbone was an immediate success. "After beating Tennessee in the 1969 Cotton Bowl,” related Ramsey, "we had over 130 coaches at our spring practice . . . they were stacked three deep and it was hard for our coaches to coach because of the inter­ est in it.” The Wishbone is a triple-option of­ fense with anybody in the backfield likely to carry the ball. "The quarterback calls the option in the huddle and nobody knows who will end up with the ball,” explained Ramsey. "The first option is to the full­ back depending on how the tackle reacts. If the tackle goes for the full­ back, the quarterback keeps. "If the tackle stays put or drops back, the quarterback gives to the full­ back. If the quarterback keeps, his next option depends on the defensive end. If the end goes for the pitch man (halfback), the quarterback keeps. If the end goes after the quarterback, he pitches to the halfback. "What makes our Wishbone so suc­ cessful,” continued Ramsey, "is that Royal stays ahead of the defense . . . he puts little wrinkles in all the time. For instance, optional blocking is one thing that has made it work so well. "Ten years ago, if a coach said he could run at the heart of the defense and not block anybody, they would have him committed. In our Wish­ bone, we run at the heart of the de­ fense and don't block either the tackle or end.” There are many coaches who dis­ dain the Wishbone. "The idea of not blocking somebody,” says Iowa's Bob Commings, "is repugnant to me.” Alabama switched to the Wishbone just before the 1971 season. "We had Johnny Musso returning and he was truly a great college back,” explained Charley Thornton, Alaba­ ma's assistant athletic director. "We also had a QB named Terry Davis who couldn't pass, but was quick and slick. "Our first game was against South­ ern Cal in LA. They had whipped us 42-21 the year before and had most of the crowd back. We beat them 17-10. I'm sure they overlooked us some after the year before when they came back to fight the Civil War. Anyway, the Wishbone was a big success right off the bat for us. "We went 11-0, but lost to Nebraska 38-6 in the Orange Bowl,” continued Thornton. "We were strictly vanilla back then . . . meaning 90 per cent full house .We couldn't throw. Then we started using two wide receivers and found it was the greatest thing in the world because in order to defense the running game, pass defense became a one-on-one thing. We used to work for hours in practice when we were a pro set team just trying to get single coverage, and here with the Wishbone it was handed to us. "Ours now is a blend of the Wish­ bone and Veer. Coach (Bear) Bryant probably has done more with the Wishbone along the lines of pass for­ mations, etc., than anyone else. The key to the Wishbone is that the half­ backs must be good blockers. You need to be strong up the middle at center and guard because a good nose guard can take away the middle and make it easier to defense. That is what happened to us so badly with Rich Glover (Nebraska).” Thornton is sold on the Wishbone. "As to whether or not it is a better formation,” he commented, "all I can say is that we've won 53 of 55 regular season games with it, have won five consecutive Southeastern Conference championships, and if you look at the continued from 1t pros and believe that it means some­ thing, we don't have many guys up there. So the formation and coaching must have something to do with it.” Depending upon how you run it, the Wishbone can be either a power or finesse offense. Bud Moore went from Alabama to Kansas and installed the Wishbone because he had good backs, but a questionmark line. "He went to it because it was a fi­ nesse offense and you don't need a lot of overpowering blocking,” said Don Baker, Kansas sports information director. "We were predicted for seventh or eighth in the Big Eight, fin­ ished fourth, and went to a bowl game.” In his first two years at Kansas, No­ lan Cromwell was a defensive back. Moore switched him to quarterback in the Wishbone, and Cromwell re­ sponded by rushing for 1,124 yards, third highest by a quarterback in NCAA history. In his first start against Oregon State, he set the NCAA single­ game record with 294 yards . . . and not even Kansas great Gale Sayers did that. The Wishbone is a great running formation, but sometimes defenses gang up on it and adjustments have to be made. "Missouri shut down Ala­ bama's Wishbone in a season opener,” related Baker, "but Kansas made 556 yards against Missouri. We put Bill Campfield in motion on every play, and that took out their cornerback. We double-teamed their nose guard and tackle, and that left the gap wide open because the linebacker moved to guard the pitch man. We had nine plays over 20 yards and fullback Den­ nis Wright said: 'Once I passed the line of scrimmage, I had to look for someone to tackle me.' ” Baker pointed out that Kansas "runs the pure Wishbone where everything is based strictly on 'read.' Oklahoma runs the pre-conceived Wishbone where the play is called in the huddle. Their Wishbone is more power than ours, and they have the offensive line they can do it with.” Why even hold a huddle if a team is running the pure Wishbone and the quarterback will run the triple option? First, for snap count. Second, just in case you decide to throw an occa­ sional pass. "For the Wishbone to be effective,” says John Keith, sports information di­ rector at Oklahoma, "you must first have a quarterback with good running continued on lOt 3. THE Introducing the dollar streloiers. ][n college football, Superman lives. He wears no cape, and the familiar "S" on his shirt has been replaced by a number in the 80s. But he lives. Who else but Super­ man could perform the feats of strength and dexterity required of the man who lines up on offense tightly alongside the tackle? For tight ends, college coaches seek Paul Bunyans and Jolly Green Giants —if they can run 40 yards in 4.8 sec­ onds or better, that is. Most coaches want a tight end who is no shorter than 6 feet 3 and no lighter than 215 pounds. It helps, too, if he's agile and smart. He must catch the ball like a wide receiver and block like a tackle. Against today's increasingly sophisti­ cated defenses, he must be able to make decisions quickly and accurately. Tight end is at once one of the most demanding and one of the most unappreciated jobs on a college football team. Only the coaches seem to fully realize its importance, and some of them consider it one of only two positions for which players are specifically recruited (the other being quarterback). In all of the basic college offenses, tight ends share the same general duties. They must block, catch passes and run with the ball once they've caught it. Often the tight end will know in advance whom he is to block, but sometimes it's up to him to decide which of two fast-approaching de­ A tight end can prove his totai worth to an offensive program by having good hands. 4. fenders to hit. On pass plays, he must quickly recognize the defensive formation and remember which pass routes are most effective against par­ ticular defenses. Mostly, the tight end's pass patterns are short ones, generally five to 10 yards from the line of scrimmage. Most of his patterns are run quickly, making him an important man on third and fourth-down possessibntype plays. He also has to be the master of practically every type of block except pass protection. If he has to take on the defensive end straight up, he must be able to block head-on with power. If he has to block the defensive tackle, usually in a double-team situation, he and his offensive tackle must know how to work effectively together. If he must pull out of the line and loop to his right or left, usually on option plays, he must first select the proper defensive back or linebacker to block, then execute a crisp, effective open field block. In recent years, as the zone pass defense has gained in popularity, the tight end has found his receiving duties expanded. Zone defenses are designed to de­ crease the threat of the long pass, putting defenders near all areas of the secondary with special emphasis on the deep zones. Therefore, a premium is put on the ability of the tight end to determine, or "read," what type of zone the defense is playing as quickly as possible. That determined, he must go quick­ ly to the open spot, or "seam," he knows will be there. He knows this because he has been well-prepared by his coaching staff, and because he has usually studied films of his opponents' defense. Offenses have had to adapt to that kind of decision-making process be­ cause zone defenses make it hard for an offense to pit its best receiver against the defense's weakest secon­ dary man. Therefore, it's a must for the tight end to know what to do when the deep receivers aren't open. Not only does he have to quickly recognize the zone and gravitate to­ ward a seam, he must be on the same continued on 9t Your SAFECO agent is a good person to know.

Many insurance companies offer dis­ counts for larger policies. So avoid buying a bundle of small policies when one might do. 4. Don’t make the wrong move with moving insurance. Before you buy a special, and often expen­ sive, policy sold by moving compa­ nies, check your homeowners. You may already be covered. policy premiums are too high for the value received. Many would be bet­ ter off with a straight life policy. 7. Be a boating expert. Some companies will give you up to a 10% discount if you complete an approved power-boat handling course. 8. Increase deductibles on your business insurance. You could save up to 18% on your build­ ing insurance premium by carrying a $1,000 deductible. 9. Keep an extra set of accounts receivable. If you keep a duplicate set at another location, you could save up to 50% on the accounts re­ ceivable premium. 10. Check into I.R.A. retirement plans. They provide a good way to buy your life insurance through taxdeductible dollars. 11. Don’t get stranded by your auto insurance. Check to see if your comprehensive provides trans­ portation expenses if your car is stolen. You may be able to save yourself some car fare. 12. Go for the big deductibles. 5. Check your life policy be­ fore you fly. If you have adequate life insurance coverage, you won’t have to buy expensive airline trip transit policies. You could save a lot on your premi­ ums if you carry a $200 collision deductible rather than a $100 de­ ductible—and take a $50 deductible on comprehensive. And any loss over $100 is deductible from your income tax. thing you can to avoid losses to your home. Check for hazards. Install alarms. Buy good locks, and use them. Keep fire department, police and emergency medical aid num­ bers handy. It’s the best way in the world to fight rising insurance costs. 14. Don’t look for bargains in health insurance. A cheap policy just may not be adequate. And this is one place where it’s better to have too much than too little. 15. Buy insurance from an agent who’s not just a company man. A local independent agent, who rep­ resents many companies and sells many different insurance plans, may be able to get you a better deal.

Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide was clinging to a 17-10 lead late in the third period when the Tigers brought the sellout crowd of 68,000 to its feet for what appeared to be a makeor-break decision. LSU faced a fourth-and-goal at the Bama four-yard-line. With Tiger juices flowing, coach Charley McClendon elected to pass up a field goal and go for the touchdown. Whereupon Bama decided to meet gamble with gamble. LSU's call was a pass off of playaction, one in which the Tigers sent only one receiver, a split end, downand-out to the left. Alabama's call was a safety blitz. Roaring in from the strong side, to the right of quarterback Pat Lyons, came Alan Pizzitola. Although slowed briefly by the play-action fake, Pizzi­ tola recovered in time to hit Lyons' arm as he released the football. A spiral became a knuckle ball. A touchdown—the split end had easily beaten one-on-one coverage on the weak side—became an interception, one Bama used to set up a field goal on its way to a 23-10 victory. In the dressing room, both coaches agreed the successful blitz by Pizzi­ tola was the turning point.

The quarterback must be a good reader, too, if the pffense is to operate at peak efficiency. He must see the same defensive weaknesses as the tight end, and when the two of them get the same picture the result can be devastating. Because of the many decisions which must be made against zone defenses, the tight end's pass route, then, is more improvised than pre­ planned. He must be able to adapt quickly to the defense's reaction to his initial move, then make a counter­ reaction to get himself open for the pass. Normally, wide receivers run pre­ planned routes. This is necessary be­ cause they must cover a lot of ground in a short time. This is possible even against a zone defense, but usually zones manage to have two defenders against wide receivers in deep zones. Of course, when deep zone de­ fenders make mistakes against swift wide receivers, the result often is a surprisingly-easy touchdown. To make that happen more often, the tight end must run his improvised patterns in relation to what his wide receivers are doing. He doesn't, for example, want to attract a defender to an area where one of his wide receiv­ ers is already operating. It also helps the tight end to know how his quarterback reacts to broken play situations. If the passer is flushed out of his protective pocket, he is in trouble and can't spend all afternoon looking for the best pass target. When a team consistently clicks for good yardage in such panic situations, there's a tendency to write it off as good luck. What it usually means, though, is that the receivers and the quarterback know each other well. For example, should the quarter­ back have to sprint out to his right, the premier tight end has a specific move worked out in advance. With such a plan, the quarterback has a gen­ eral idea of where to look for his man. Those are duties shared in all of­ fenses by tight ends. There are, how­ ever, subtle differences in the way offensive formations call for the job to be performed. Here are some of them: Veer—The Veer tight end' mainly operates in the secondary, wreaking havoc on smaller defensive backs. The prime responsibility of any tight end concerns blocking. Above, one such end allows his teammate to turn the corner. Most of the heavy line blocking is either done by interior linemen and running backs, or is made unneces­ sary by clever ball-handling on option plays. On many Veer teams, the tight end is the primary pass receiver since the pass is one of the three options available to the quarterback In the offense's basic play situation. Wishbone—Usually the tight end goes downfield as though every play was to be a pass, giving him respon­ sibilities similar to those of a wide receiver. At the end of most plays, though, it is his job to block the sec­ ondary man whose job it is to defend against him. Most of the time the Wishbone tight end slams the man directly over him just before he heads downfield. This helps prevent the defensive end from crashing in on the quarterback before the play develops. In the Wishbone, tight ends catch a high percentage of touchdown passes in relation to their total recep­ tions. Much of the offense is geared to the tight end's side of the line, and when secondary defenders become more aggressive near the goal it isn't unusual for a tight end to pop through and take a touchdown pass. Power I—^The tight end must block a lot at the line of scrimmage. He must sometimes hit the defensive end, sometimes the defensive tackle and sometimes a linebacker. He must also run his pass patterns well. Many Power I teams make the tight end their primary receiver. It isn't unusual for the tight end to lead a Power I team in receiving. Pro Set—Again, the tight end's job requires a combination of blocking and receiving. Most Pro Set offenses, however, work toward getting faster split ends and wide receivers open for the longer passes. Usually, then, the tight end is a secondary or pos­ session-play receiver. Whatever the offense, and what­ ever the play, the tight end has a job to do. It takes a big, strong, fast man with receiving and decision-making ability to do his job. Considering the kind of remarkable athletes coaches are recruiting for the position nowa­ days, it's no surprise that much of the time they get the job done. ^ ability. He also must have durability— he gets hit hard after he pitches to the trailing halfback and also when he car­ ries himself—and be able to throw adequately. You don't pass much out of the Wishbone, but he'll throw a high-percentage pass—one that's at­ tempted when the enemy throws everybody up to the line of scrimmage to guard against the run, leaving the receivers open. "Your halfbacks must have break­ away speed and be able to run inside and outside. They must be good blockers because blocking on the cor­ ners is an absolute must on wide plays, joe Washington was the best blocking back I've seen in college football and he enabled our other halfbacks to gain good yardage. "The fullback is usually a bigger per­ son than the halfbacks, but he, too, needs quickness and speed. Our full­ backs hit the line of scrimmage so quickly that despite the fact they'll get caught often, they'll still gain good yardage first. And the fullback must be a good blocker because that's what he's doing most of the time. "The Wishbone requires quickness from everybody," continued Keith. "Your linemen need to be fast and mobile, and size is a major require­ ment. "The day is over when you can line up with light, quick folks in college football. Alabama was the last team to discover that. We learned our lesson back in 1966 when Notre Dame buried us with big, quick people." There are some interesting statistics connected with the Wishbones. Final 1975 NCAA statistics show that: The Bones averaged 279.7 yards rushing per game; the rest of the na­ tion, 194.2. They averaged 4.65 yards per rush; the rest, 3.82. They averaged 24.3 points; the rest, 19.5. Although they didn't pass as much, the Bones still averaged 355.5 yards per game total offense, compared with 319.6 for the remainder of the country. But the total offensive championship went to a pro set team. California had a beautifully balanced attack which amazingly piled up 2,522 yards rushing and 2,522 yards passing. One rap against the Wishbone is that it leads to so many fumbles, with nobodv knowing exactly where the ball will go, plus any indecision on the quarterback's part. But in 1975, the Bones lost one fumble every 30.4 rushing plays, just a little worse than the national average of 31.0. They had One certain play for any power football text is the power siyeep utilizing two or more linemen leading the charge. one interception every 13.9 passes, a little worse than the national average, but when you put them together, the Bones had one turnover every 25.8 p^ays, better than the rest of the na­ tion's 24.4. But if you put everything into a com­ puter, you'd probably find it didn't matter what formation you used. The team with the best personnel and ex­ ecution is going to win. Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, and those folks are going to win even if they run out of the single wing formation. "The Wishbone isn't the ground gaining formation it was three years ago because defenses are gaining," says Oklahoma's Keith. "But if we have better players or more talent than the next guy—which has been the case the last four years—then no matter what we run, we're the favorites." Another full house formation, while not used nearly as extensively as the Wishbone, is still in operation in Co­ lumbus, Ohio. Ohio State doesn't employ the full house T as its regular offense, but when the Buckeyes get inside the en­ emy's 10-yard line (and that's often) or in short yardage situations out on the field (such as third and 2) they go Into it. Coach Woody Hayes affectionately calls it his "high button shoe" or "ro­ bust" offense. It is simple, basic, and power football. Most of the time the fullback gets the ball and runs off tackle. This is Hayes' favorite maneuver, and he has turned out more star full­ backs and off^sive tackles than per­ haps anyone in college football history. While it isn't too imaginative, it certainly is effective. For example. Buckeye fullback Pete Johnson led the nation in scoring in 1975 with 25 touchdowns, the second best mark in NCAA annals. "To my knowledge," said quarter­ back Coach George Chaump, "Ohio State stands alone in scoring percent­ age inside the 10-yard line. I would estimate we've been successful wejl over 90 per cent of the time in the eight years I've been associated with Woody." Hayes likes to chide people who put down his "robust" offense as being nothing more than a fullback attack. "Everybody knows the fullback gets the ball down there (inside 10)," Woody says with a smirk on his face, "and that's why Cornelius (quarter­ back Greene) gets so many touch­ downs." fflr and fTlrs *T* Bloody IDory mix fflr and fTlrs *T* moi Toi mix Vodka, gin, rum, tequila — even aquavit — never had it so good.

Actually, you don't hear that much about blitzing safeties in college foot­ ball. The pros made it popular. Al­ though it was used frequently by the old Boston Patriots of the AFL, the St. Louis Cardinals and free safety Larry Wilson later captured most of the ink when instant replays of the Cards'^ defensive back blowing in down the middle, and nailing the quarterback, made him some kind of folk hero. It's easy to see why the pros use it more. They have an idea where the quarterback will be. In college, so far as the QB goes, it's more of an East-West situation rather than dropback. Still you have some college teams relying on a weak, or free, safety blitz when the enemy has the ball in­ side the defensive club's 40-yard-line. The feeling is the defense must give the offense a bad play on one of four downs. On second and medium yardage, the defense might elect to send eight and hold three—the two corners and the strong safety. It's a stunt that can be effective on outside runs and passes. On the stunt manuver both defensive ends are re­ sponsible for containment. The end on the strong side is also responsible for the third receiver strong, the end on the weak side for the second re­ ceiver weak. The weak safety comes through the center-guard gap on the weak side of the formation. The cor­ ners and strong safety play man-to­ man on their respective receivers. Another stunt, more widely em­ ployed, is the strong-safety fire, which is used as much to contain the run as to get to the quarterback. Some teams consider it a good third-downmedium-yardage defense. It gives the defense added pressure coming from the big part of the field. On this one skilled manuver, the strong safety is brought to the line of scrimmage and sent right to the QB, The end and tackle to the side of the call slant hard to the inside, while the linebacker on the side of the calj moves outside and has containment responsibility. The secondary covers man-to-man with the help of the weakside linebacker. Blitzing a weak safety, for obvious reasons, can be a feast-or-famine maneuver and some cheating is re­ quired. Usually, the normal alignment of 10 yards deep is too deep to blitz effectively. To disguise this type of blitz, a defense will walk it^ free safety up five yards, and then back to the regular 10, before the /snap. If this is done several times in the course of a game, it will create the proper climate when the blitz call comes. Then there is no retreat.

The public address announcer, about to begin his recitation of the starting lineups, did a doubletake as he looked around the stadium. "Dear Sir," he began. That solitary fan, watching a game of no significance in miserable weather in an otherwise empty stadium, epitomizes the college football fan. It may not be necessary to be crazy to be a football fan, but it helps, No, scratch that. It may be necessary, That is, if you ask a fan of Ole Miss, he'll certainly tell you that LSU fans are crazy. College football is often considered part of the overall entertainment package, but there is no real comparison between your average football fan and a person of, say, opera, ballet or the theatre. The patron of the arts is pampered and civilized, two adjectives which would never be applied to football fans. Consider a few comparisons: 1) Food and drink. At the opera, theatre, ballet and symphony, there are often small restaurants, dispensing real food. There are also bars, which can be a mixed blessing; the combination of a couple of stiff drinks -'I U'* ^ ''‘V > A* , L •‘‘■f fVPICAI. HMMBAU iAN Who art thou, oh tyf^cal tootball fan?

At a football game, there are re­ freshments, too—^warm soda and cold hot dogs. Passed from the aisle, both soda and mustard are usually slopped on the patrons in between vendor and customer. 2) Comfort. Patrons of the arts sit in well-padded seats. There are car­ pets on the floor, and usually fancy draperies as well. There are often ele­ vators and escalators to the higher floors. The ultimate in comfort for a col­ lege football fan is a plastic seat. Older stadiums have only wooden benches. Each row is numbered for at least one more person than can be accommodated. There are often long flights of stairs to climb to get into the stadiums. There are never enough rest rooms for those who have been drinking an elixir, which gives the fan a choice of standing in line for the entire halftime or sneaking out for three minutes at the start of the sec­ ond quarter, during which time you can be sure that two touchdowns and and a field goal will be scored. 3) Weather. At the ballet, custom­ ers sit in air-conditioned or heated buildings, depending on the season. College football fans are victims of the often capricious weather. In the midwest, a nice day for football is any day when it isn't snowing. In the northeast, you have to worry about the nor'easters. In the south, the heat and humidity can be stifling. In the northwest, rain can drive one away. Yet, fans subject themselves to such conditionswillingly.lt is difficult for me to feel too superior to them. In my youth, my father, uncle and I watched a game in a driving rainstorm, though we chickened out late in the third quarter and left; by then, our team was down, 42-0.

To what extent will the football fan go to see his favorite team? An opera buff who is truly aroused will murmur, "Bravo." Bravo, indeed. Your average col­ lege football fan, self-contained as he or she may be at other times, goes a little, well, yes, crazy at a game. Woe be to the coach who calls the wrong play or the quarterback who throws an interception; not polite applause but a cascade of boos will descend on them. Fans cheer their team, jeer the officials, cast aspersions on the birth of players on other teams . . . and it is all done at full throat. Sometimes, the fans are more in­ teresting than the game itself. Texas A&M students, for instance, stand dur- Strong men fear to leave their homes in Dallas the weekend of a Texas-Oklahoma game, for instance. Sooner and Longhorn fans roam the streets the entire weekend, omitting such non-essentials as sleep. Eating just enough to keep body and soul together and imbibing rather more than that, they seek out fans of the opposing team to start miniature wars of their own. Behavior that would be considered aberrant at any other time is passed off as normal during the week pro­ ceeding a big game. Obscene com­ ments on the University of Michigan football team are displayed prom­ inently in Columbus, Ohio before a Buckeye-Wolverine game, and judges tolerantly excuse them. The day of the game, fans gather very early for parties in their cars, trucks and recreational vehicles. These parties are commonly called "tailgate parties" because the original idea was to let the tailgate down on a station wagon and put food and drink there. They have become more complicated in recent years, with multi-course meals being prepared, accompanied by the drink common to the area; in California, for instance, it is always wine. Occasionally, the party will be such a success that fans miss the open­ ing kickoff, the first quarter and—in extreme cases—the entire game. This tends to happen more frequently in California where the priorities are somewhat different. The original rationale for tailgate parties was as a way of beating the traffic. Now, of course, the traffic is heaviest three hours before a game, when everybody rushes to beat the traffic. In each section of the country, fans are convinced that their football is the best, in some way. or another. Often, this requires convoluted logic and a precise definition of what is best, much like radio stations which can prove that they are No. 1 by the way they define their market. In the East, for instance. Ivy League teams have long since opted out of the mad race for No. 1 in the polls. Ivy League schools do not give out athletic scholarships as such, though special ability is taken into account when scholarships are issued and some top athletes — Calvin Hill, Ed Marinaro — have qualified. Players sometimes miss games because there is a laboratory field trip that weekend. Fans know this, and they argue that this is the most sensible way to ap­ proach football. Since their approach is the best, their teams must be the best. In the midwest, fans of eight of the Big Ten teams dutifully watch their teams play for third place. Their game, they're convinced, is the best because it is what football is all about—knock­ ing down other people. Indeed, play­ ers usually have no choice because teams in the midwest tend to use little finesse. There are fans who could not define a forward pass, never hav­ ing seen one. continued on 18t 15. ^[n 450 B.C., a Greek athletic trainer named Dromeus conceived a meat diet for athletes and it merely took progress and modern technology more than 2,400 years to prove him As a result, it is the medical profes­ sion which has brought about changes in diet for athletes, destroying some of the old myths about high-protein in­ take in favor of an emphasis on car­ bohydrates. "A minimal amount of meat or pro­ tein is necessary for maintaining a positive nitrogen balance, but it actu­ ally should be only a part of a bal­ anced diet and certainly not the domi­ nant part," observed Oklahoma State team physician Donald Cooper in a 1965 study. "It is not protein that is utilized to produce muscual energy; it is glyco­ gen, or simple sugars, and phos­ phates," Dr. Cooper reported. "In fact, it is better to avoid proteins in a pre-game meal, as they tend to aggra­ vate the problem of acid in the mus­ cles and other body systems." Though Dr. Cooper's report was made more than 10 years ago, only re­ cently have several schools begun to change their thinking about an athlete's diet and the pre-game meal. "I've been in this business for 50 years and I've seen so much steak, I always order fish for myself now," noted Henry Schmidt, veteran Univer­ sity of Santa Clara trainer who also worked for many years with the 49ers and the East-West Game. "We always used to eat steak be­ fore, but now we have the athletes eat­ ing hotcakes," said Schmidt. "I really don't understand it, but they claim it's easier to digest hotcakes. We changed the diet for our football players, but the basketball team still eats steaks. "Maybe the athletes in the old days could burn off all that protein easier," Schmidt offered. "There were no cars then and they'd be walking many miles every day. I always get in trouble when I say this, but I think they were in better shape and tougher then." It can also be safely assumed that many schools are grasping the newer carbohydrate diets because they obvi­ ously are more feasible economically in these times of spiraling athletic costs. It costs a lot less to order hot­ cakes for 60 football players instead of steaks, which are at least $5 at most hotels which provide pre-game meals. "The training table contents really don't make much difference if the continued on 21t wrong. Dromeus, who did his thing in the village of Stymphalus, contended that muscle was so vital in athletic en­ deavor that young men would become more proficient in their sport by de­ vouring more muscle—in other words, large quantities of meat. It was a justifiable assumption. Dromeus' athletes were wellconditioned and skilled in their sport, so when they consumed great amounts of meat and continued to have success, the diet was considered a key. To this day, many coaches and trainers are proponents of the highprotein diet, explaining why steak is still the most popular item on training tables throughout our land. UCLA's venerable Ducky Drake, the Dromeus of Westwood, reasonably explains why Bruin athletes still lean heavily to steak, even for their pre­ game meal a few hours prior to an event. "Over the years our teams have The pre-game meal is an all-important item on the game week schedule. Steak is a been pretty successful," Drake, a favorite dish but carbohydrates are also emphasized. former track coach, understated. "We are aware of the studies on protein and carbohydrates, but don't feel there's any reason to change." Another highly-successful university embraces the same philosophy—with a slight adjustment. "We now order a smaller steak (8 ounces) and increase the carbohydrates, especially for the track and basketball athletes who burn it off so fast," explained the athletic trainer. "But the ultimate decision rests with the coach, and most coaches are slow to change what has been a winning formula," Ward admitted. "But we have slowly made some changes, like ordering the smaller steak." It seems unusual that trainers, who have received some instruction in nu trition,do not have the final say in meals for athletes. That responsibility rests on the shoulders of the coach, who undoubtedly receives advice from the team physician. 16. \^ais agD, F^pa Qibari made a^^me just for A\4ien &mily & Mends sat down tc^then Nothing^ changed.

That they are there because the conference al­ lows any team which gets an invita­ tion to go and because conferences like the Big Ten and Pacific-Eight have, until recently, only allowed their champion to go to a bowl, does not seem to make a dent in the fans' con­ sciousness. The Pacific Eight Conference tends to be use and seven teams fighting for second place more often than not. Still, fans believe that their football is the best because their representa­ tive usually wins the Rose Bowl by throwing the ball up in the air a few times, a maneuver which has taken Ohio State or Michigan by complete surprise. The college football madness cul­ minates in the big games. There are two types of big games in college football. One is the kind of game on which a bowl bid rides: OklahomaNebraska has been an example of that because, in recent years, the teams seem to be ranked 1-2 nationally every time they play. The fans' mad­ ness there is conventional, i.e., a be­ lief that Winning Is Everything. Much more difficult to explain to visitors from other planets would be the traditional games — The Came (Harvard-Yale), The Big Came (California-Stanfordf/ Army-Navy. These games are the 'social event of the year for many. There are parties all week, as classmates hold reunions to talk about how many of their friends have died during the year. It is often said of these games that you can forget about the teams' rec­ ords during the year because the un­ derdog often wins. That is not true. The favorite usually wins these games, as it does any others. It is the fans who forget their teams' records. There are many who truly do not care if their team goes 0-10 the rest of the season if it wins the traditional game. At these favored games, it makes no difference whether both teams have had great seasons, poor seasons, medium sea­ sons; the attendance will still be the same, full house. It makes no differ­ ence to fans whether the teams are well-matched or poorly. It is, simply, the game to see. Yeah, you have to be crazy. % by Pat Perkins A history and whaVs in store for’76 "She can't possibly sit down in those, do you think?"

Her husband most probably was attired in a stylish Ches­ terfield, a single-breasted, fly-front coat with plain back usually having a center seam, notched lapel and collar, often of velvet.

One casual observer remarked. continued from 16t training table Dr Pepper® and Pepper* are registered trademarks of Dr Pepper Company, Dallas, Texas, 1975 athlete is basically well-conditioned and well-nourished," said Jerome Patmont, team physician of the 1975 U.S. Pan American Games squad. "This is even truer concerning the pre-game meal," added Dr. Patmont. "What an athlete eats several hours before a game is not digested by the time he competes, so it really doesn't matter what he eats. The big thing now is fluid replacement—that is a much more important concern before and during a game. "I strongly believe in the new trend toward carbohydrate loading," Dr. Patmont pointed out. "I believe in strenuous workouts up to 48 hours be­ fore competition, then total rest and loading up with carbohydrates. That will produce the highest energy level during competition." Dr. Patmont is not alone in playing down the value of the pre-game meal. Athletes, who tend to have voracious appetities, lean heavily to junk foods, as do many college students, but this isn't necessarily a detriment in prepar­ ing for a game. "The meal before any sporting event should be acceptable to the individual athlete," noted nutritionist and author Ellington Darden at a recent Atlanta clinic for team physicians. "Whatever the athlete feels will help his perform­ ance should be eaten. "In fact," Dr. Darden continued, "the pre-game meal for 98 percent of your athletes supplies very little of the actual energy that is used in the game. This energy ordinarily comes from food consumed from two to 14 days prior to the contest. "I know some coaches will cringe, but there's nothing wrong with athletes eating pizzas and hambur­ gers," Dr. Darden stressed. "Properly prepared with meat and sausage, cheese, tomatoes and enriched bread or dough, pizzas are good sources of protein and calcium and also contri­ bute their share of iron, vitamins, car­ bohydrates and fat to the daily diet." Or the pre-game meal can consist of nothing. "One of the reasons we stopped or­ dering steak for pre-game meals is that so many of the athletes would leave them on their plate," explained one university trainer. "A lot of athletes have those pre­ game jitters and they just don't feel like eating a couple of hours before a game. Now, our really big meal, usu­ ally prime rib or steak, will be eaten 48 Meals during the week offer a balanced variety of foods—and lots of it! hours prior to a game and then we gradually taper off on protein and add more carbohydrates," he said. An article in Physician and Sports Medicine magazine supports that thinking. "We feel the content of the pre­ game meal is not critical as long as it does not make the athlete sick, un­ comfortable, irritate his gastrointesti­ nal tract or markedly delay the empty­ ing time of his stomach," the article states. "Far more important is the combina­ tion of diet and exercise during the week," it continues. "By working ex­ tremely hard Tuesday and Wednesday, thus exhausting the muscle glycogen; and having light workouts Thursday, very little or no work Friday, and a diet higher in carbohydrates those last two days, the athlete should be ready for competition and a maximum effort on Saturday. "What the athlete eats as his pre­ game meal is probably not going to in­ fluence physiological performance a great deal, but it may well have an im­ portant psychological impact. The main thing is hot to worry if he prefers to eat nothing. We recommend a pre-game meal of orange juice, pan­ cakes with a small amount of butter and syrup, dry toast, honey, fruit cup or Jello, milk or tea with sugar," the article concludes. The American Medical Assn., of course, also has its opinions on nutri­ tion for athletes. Basically, the AMA agrees that the pre-game is highly overrated and that a last-minute at­ tempt for energy likewise is invalid. "Conditioning and athletic skill rank far and away as the most important factors in successful athletic perform­ ance," claims an AMA report. "Nutri­ tion can assist only to the extent that the diet is adequate in essential nut­ rients. "The body's protein levels are estab­ lished at least 48 hours before a game, so when an athlete consumes more than enough protein, no benefits to physical performance result and, in some instances, disadvantages are in­ curred," the AMA adds. The group also contends that a car­ bohydrate cannot be assimilated by the body in the few hours between the pre-game meal and the competition, labelling as false the popular belief that sugar, honey or cola have the capability of providing quick energy just prior to an event. Summing up, it seems obvious that virtually anything will work if some nutritional guidelines are followed and if emphasis on conditioning and diet is placed in the earlier part of the week prior to the game. Energy cannot be increased by the pre-game meal, so abstinence or minimal intake is advis­ able. Just think of how much money ath­ letic departments could have saved if it weren't for an ancient Greek named Dromeus, a man who probably did more for the American beef industry than McDonald's, Jack in the Box and the Sizzler combined. 21. continued from 19t FASHIONS mufflers, camel's hair and raccoon coats, stadium boots, knickers, and parkas or dressed down in halters, muu muus, blue jeans, and Bermuda shorts. Weather, more than any other factor, dictates choice of clothing among football aficionados—a far cry from ancient Rome when each of the classes of citizens, including the slaves, wore clothes prescribed by The Lindbergh jacket comes in handy tor those fans who often experience inciement weather. explicit government regulations. A Roman citizen's profession, class, and rank were instantly recognized by his attire. Even the number of stripes on sandals was dictated! Today, in sunny climates where col­ lege football fans can luxuriate in 75-90° weather, sandals are still in. They, along with a generous sprinkling of Adidas tennis shoes, penny loafers, and Earth shoes, top off the garb that has become de rigueur among students—jeans. So integral a part of fashion today, the Smithsonian Institute in Washing­ ton, D.C. has included Levis in its Americana collection. In 1850, at the height of Cold Rush fever, Levi Strauss, the brainchild of this phenomenon, travelled to San Fran­ cisco with a roll of canvas he had planned to sell to a tentmaker. In­ stead, he noticed that the goldseekers who had arrived before him needed sturdy overalls. He fashioned a con­ siderable number of pants from his canvas roll and the miners im­ mediately purchased them. Strauss changed the material from sailcloth and duck to a fabric imported from France called 'serge de Mimes.' This was shortened to 'de Mimes,' and fi­ nally, 'denim.' He was in business for life and discovered a goldmine with­ out even panning for it! Blustery winds, gales, and sleet in the East and Midwest certainly call for more substantial attire than jeans, a rugby shirt, and huaraches. A warm, comfortable coat or jacket is paramount in getting the fan through four spirited, but freezing, quarters and might include any of the follow­ ing: Petersham: a heavy, short overcoat made of thick, rough, almost windproof, wool in navy blue and used in seafaring or for severe weath­ er. Mamed for Lord Petersham who in­ troduced it and also called pea jacket, reefer, or watch coat. Tow: a double-breasted, threequarters length coat which fastens with toggle buttons. Trench: a loose, overall rainproof coat with collar and belt of same fabric and having many pockets and flaps. Similar to coats worn by officers in the trenches during World War I. Blazer: a lightweight sports jacket, semi-tailored, usually in bright colors; so-called because it was originally made in brilliant, vertical stripes. Sometimes worn as distinguishing garment of school, team, or college. Cardigan: a plain, box-like type of sports jacket or short coat, open of buttoned down front; usually with long sleeves. Mamed for the Seventh Earl of Cardigan, a British army officer, from the early 19th century. Parka: a jacket with hood, usually reinforced nylon with a padded lining; may be down-filled, usually zippered front opening, sometimes furlined. Originally, Siberian and Alaskan hooded outer garment made of animal skins. Poncho: a straight piece of water­ proof fabric with opening in center for head. Originated in South America, but today worn universally, chiefly as raincoat. Handy accessories to this hefty list might include serviceable ear muffs (also called earlaps or eartabs), stadium or polar boots, and gloves or mittens. In the 1920s some ingenious soul invented the cigarette mitt with a separate stall for the forefinger to permit holding a cigarette. Fifty years ago also marked the start of the Ivy League look which is still, if not trendy, at least seen in certain cir­ cles around the country: button-down collars, tweed sport coats, gray flan­ nels, white buckskin shoes, crew-neck sweaters. And the old bromide, "If you hang onto something long enough, it will come back into style," certainly rings true for this Fall. Argyie Piaid Lindbergh: a sturdy, warm jacket similar to a windbreaker with deep pockets and fitted waistband and wrists. Popularized by Charles A. Lindbergh who was first aviator to make solo nonstop transatlantic flight (1927).
