It's the old step-intomy-parlor routine with the spider and the fly. You lure ’em in and then you spring the trap.’’ A team that works the draw best is one recruited from drama class. Theat­ rics are needed by all 11 players on of­ fense. “Better believe it/’ the coach agreed. “You have to do a great selling job. You have to convince the defense you’re going to throw ’cause you want them with their ears back, rearing on their hind legs and really coming at you. “The whole philosophy behind the draw is to spread out the defense, create gaps, widen lanes. What you’re trying to achieve is a one-on-one situa­ tion. And if you have the best athletes, then your one-on-one is gonna vvdn.’’ So it all begins with the classic con—I’ll make you believe I’m going to do something when, in fact, I intend to do just the opposite. In the case of the draw, show pass even though you’re going to run. “It starts with your offensive line,” the coach said. “Your blockers set up like it’s a pass. They retreat, a step at a time. “They have to steer the rushers what­ ever way they want to go, make ’em be­ lieve they’re overpowering the blockers. You keep suckering them in. And your receivers, they’ve got to run their pat­ terns with convictions, make that sec­ ondary go after them, make them wor­ ried about getting burned by a pass. “And your quarterback, he’s really got to fake it. He’s the one who makes the draw go because the defense is always taught that the longer the QB has the ball then the deeper the linebackers and the defensive backs should drop. That’s what I meant by spreading out the defense.” Even the most casual fan knows the draw, of course. The quarterback, if he is convincing, backpedals furiously, tries to work up a look of terror and panic as though he is about to be sacked. And then, at the proper moment, he slips the ball into the waiting back’s belly. The momentum of the defense’s pass rush has, by now, carried it beyond the point of that exchange. “If things have gone right,” the coach said, “you’ve split the front group, and you’ve got the others 30 or 40 yards downfield. If your man picks up a block, he can go all the way.” But there is another key to the draw. Patience. “Right,” the coach said. “Patience in executing it.

His columns appear in over 35 papers, including the Miami Herald, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and Detroit Free Press. back who's carrying the ball has to de­ lay, even after he’s taken the handoff. Otherwise, the defense has a chance to recover. That's why we run what we call a ‘back door draw.' The quarterback ac­ tually passes by the back, then hands the ball forward. That’ll make the back delay. He has to stay put. I’d say that's the biggest problem with the way most teams run the draw. The back gets itchy feet. He sees a hole developing and he can’t wait to get to it. If he'd just be patient, that hole will get wdder and wider. “And the quarterback has to finish it off. After he’s handed off, he's got to go on retreating and set up like he’s going to throw. That’ll keep the pass rushers coming, and they’ll run themselves right out of the play. After all, that’s why they call it the draw; the idea is to d-r-a-w everyone in. The quarterback is the cheese. If he’s convincing, then you can snap the trap right on their neck.’’ This particular coach believes that the draw actually should be considered a passing play. Others share that belief. “Any yardage you make on the draw,’’ said another coach, "should be added to your passing yardage. Just like screens and flares. And a quarterback sack, that yardage loss should come off the passing total, not the running.’’ It may seem a minor statistical point but it underscores the importance of the draw as a complement to the pass­ ing game. One misconception is that the draw is effective against a blitz. In fact, it works best in situations when most teams or­ dinarily throw. Example; with time running out and your team behind. “Most teams go for the bomb or try to work the sidelines with passes,’’ notes another coach whose team routinely throws 30 to 35 times a game. “But in that situation, against a prevent de­ fense, the draw is perfect. First off, you’ve already got the defense spread out. They’ve done half the job for you. They’re laying back, and they’re really vulnerable to the draw because they, and everybody in the stadium, is ex­ pecting you to put it up for grabs. We’ve run the draw in catch-up situations and scored 70-yard touchdowns off it.’’ There are, obviously, refinements off the original. - There are sprint and roll draws and quarterback draws and quick draws. But they are hybrids and remain primarily running plays. “But the regular draw,’’ another coach said, “is a play all by itself. It’s calcu­ lated, it’s a big play move, a home run kind of offense.

After all, ev­ eryone knows how modern and com­ plicated the game has become. Why, the draw itself is a new-fangled invention, isn’t it? “I have a book in my office,” a coach said,“writtenby Amos Alonzo Stagg, and it’s got a draw play diagrammed in it. You know when the book was pub­ lished? In 1893.” The winning team from America's most entertaining couple...

Years later, in 1928, a great Army team was leading the Irish at halftime—and there was no bigger game at the time than Notre Dame-Army. Rockne secured his place in college football legend with a stirring halftime talk asking his troops to win that one for the Gipper. Late in the game. Jack Chevigny crossed the goal line for the winning touchdown in a 12-6 upset, crying: “This one’s for the Gipper!’’ Memories of a historic game—one that his team lost—helped Gerald Ford years later in another rugged field, that of politics. Ford played linebacker and center on the 1934 Michigan team that won just one game. In fact, he was voted its most valuable player. The Wolverines were facing Min­ nesota, the eventual national champion, and the battle cry in Minneapolis, the game site, was “Mangle Michigan.’’ A record crowd of 60,000 turned out to see it happen. Minnesota wore down Michigan vvdth raw power in the second half and won 34-0, but that afternoon remained spe­ cial to Ford, even after he became President. “During 25 years in the rough-andtumble world of politics, I often thought of the experiences before, during and after that game in 1934,’’ Ford said. “Re­ membering them has helped me many times to face a tough situation, take ac­ tion, and make every effort possible de­ Huey Long was a fan of LSU football. Herbert Hoover (lower left) was the student manager at the first Cal-Stanford game. spite adverse odds. I remember how Michigan students and people in Ann Arbor met us at the train station that Sunday. There was a rousing parade, and this was a meaningful tribute to the fight the Wolverines had put up against Minnesota.’’ A man who would become President figured in another historic game, though in quite a different way. Stanford-California is one of football’s tradition-laden matches. California had been playing for years, but Stanford fielded its first football team in 1892. A match between the two Bay Area schools was a natural. It was such a natural, in fact, that a crowd estimated at 20,000 showed up, though tickets had been printed for only 10,000. Little paper money was in circulation in those days, and the mountain of change caused a crisis. Herbert Hoover, student manager of the Stanford team, quickly rounded up wash boilers and dish pans to hold the gold and silver spectators paid for their tickets. Incidentally, there was another prob­ lem in the initiation of this great rivalry. When the referee called the captains to the center of the field for the coin toss, it was discovered no one had brought a football. The game was delayed for more than an hour while a storekeeper who happened to be in the crowd rode his horse into town to get a ball. For Huey Long, the late governor of Louisiana, every game that LSU played was a big game. He meddled in the school’s football affairs, and in 1934 he demonstrated the depths of his obses­ sion. LSU was scheduled to play Southern Methodist under Tiger Stadium’s lights, but the Barnum & Bailey Circus, on its annual tour of the nation, planned a show in direct conflict with the game. The Kingfish, a U.S. senator at that time, feared the circus would cut the crowd, and LSU had given SMU a big cash guarantee. Long decided the circus just wouldn’t play, and he found a relatively obscure state law to back his hand. Long called in a representative of the circus and informed him that Louisiana had a cattle dip law that applied to any animal crossing the state line. “Did you ever dip a lion?’’ Long asked the startled man. The circus perform­ ance was called off. Big games. They’re the brightest threads in the fabric of college football. • lit \ © 1979 The Gap Stores Inc.

HELD GOAL KICKER continued The field goal kicker had discovered a large, dry piece of plywood, and he was doing his exercises on it, in relative comfort. The coach snickered. Then he caught himself and put on his practice face. “What do you think you’re doing?” he demanded, glaring down, hands hard on hips. The kicker stopped and looked up, grinning sheepishly. “Well, uh, my drills,” he said. “Do them over there,” the coach said, pointing to a vacant puddle, ‘so’s you can get nice and wet just like everybody else.” Any player worth his sweat would have sneaked to the plywood, of course, but this player happened fo be the kicker. Fate seems to bring kickers and awkward moments together. Still, the incident serves to illustrate an idea held dear by many—kickers are differ­ ent, and not really part of the team. One sideline philosopher offered a theory. “Kickers are the way they are,” he said, “because they were left alone too much as small children.” A West Coast kicker, one of this sea­ son’s top returnees, may never have heard that assessment, but he touched its fringes with one of his own. “If we don’t seem like part of the team,” he said, “it’s because we’re alone so much with our own practice.” The kicker suffers even greater sol­ itude during the game. Facing only oc­ casional action, and at brittle times, he is left on the sidelines with festering thoughts of doom to come. His is the crisis art. There are 22 men assembled for a field goal try, but the thousands of eyes are on only one man. The screw tightens. It is a good time to break and run for the exit. But the kicker just kicks and awaits the thunder—cheers or jeers. “Kicking is a mental thing, not a phy­ sical thing,” said a Southern hooter. That seems to be the consensus of kickers. And perhaps that is what sets the kicker apart and tends to distort the view of him. There is a belief—and it can only be described as universal— that the kicker’s mind is in the trees if not among the stars; that he wanders around muttering secret rhythms or praying to obscure deities; that he breathes the rarefied air of discus throw­ ers and metaphysical philosophers. This is not altogether true. On the other hand, it is not altogether false. Some kickers admit to striving for mind control, to taking quiet moments before a game for cleansing relaxation through something approaching trans­ cendental meditation—things practi­ cally taboo in the manly art, if they are A kicker depends as much on mental concentration as on actual physical skills. thought of at all. Kickers also “think kicking” in a way that runners cannot “think running.” “When I hit a good kick,” said a Northwest kicker, “I practice it in my mind and I try to repeat that same kick over and over. ” Thus occupied with the pursuit of the perfect kick, a kicker can develop a blank look on his face, giving rise to suspicions in those around him. But the exercise is not all that odd. Pro golf­ ers practice the perfect shot in their mind. They call it "visualization.” It is recommended by many. Jack Nicklaus among them. "There’s no doubt about it, kickers are different, ” said a Southeastern hoot­ er. "You have to be, in order to spend the long hours alone.” He used to kick for hours, between two trees at home, until it got too dark to see. Other football players get strong nicknames , like "Bam”or ”Hawk,”calling up visions of speed and power and danger. It’s different with kickers. Theirs fall into the category of "Bird” and "Blade,” both originating because of the kicker’s slim build. Any man who can endure these nicknames can look at a 40-yarder continued on 22t 19t Hart Schaffner& The Escadrille Collection by DU, .e»,Ai.sw.H6Z8ia 90909 siouiiii ‘oBboi^o ‘ieaJlS ui|>|ubjj Lunog 9S xje|/\| 9 Jdiyieips uuirqnv HHJ) GOAL KICKER continued without flinching. It's all in how one handles the pressure. Many kickers around the country agree that the kicker has to drop a curtain somewhere in his mind. "You have to blank out the pressure," said a top returnee this season. And just when that point is con­ ceded, along comes a dissenting voice. "I put the pressure on,” said a South­ eastern hooter. "When I was a fresh­ man, I would blank it out, and I would overcompensate and not concentrate enough. So last year I decided to con­ centrate more. I would tell myself every time-—I’ve got to make this one.” The reverse English worked for that kicker, but not for a Southwestern hoot­ er, who went into a game last year vvath nine straight field goals and needed just two more to tie the NCAA record. "I guess I got to thinking about that rec­ ord,” he said. “I blew the next kick.” Some kickers develop a concentration approaching tunnel vision. A Northwesterner, for example, beat an opponent last year with a remarkable field goal in the dying seconds. The snap was poor and the holder was still trying to get the ball down when his foot came through. He brushed off the praise. “I didn’t pay any attention to any of that,” the kicker said. “It’s my job to kick. It’s his job to get it down.” Better than anyone, the holder un­ derstands the kicker. One of last year’s leading kickers, an electrical engineer­ ing graduate, put the relationship in such a way as to underline both the holder’s importance and the kicker’s different way of looking at things. "He isn’t my holder,” this hooter in­ sisted. " I’m his kicker. ” The pursuit of the perfect kick ieads the kicker to practice, practice and more practice. Kickers, generally a cerebral group, tend to set things in order quickly. An East Coast hooter, for example, was once challenged on the use of the kick­ Kicker and holder are really a team unto themselves. ing tee. The guy said a kicker is al­ ready talented, the tee is an unfair ad­ vantage. The kicker dispatched him neatly. "They don’t make Tony Dorsett wear heavier shoes, do they?” he said. The kicker is possibly the most wel­ come character in football. He is "Everyman” doing what every man cannot do. He is a different kind of hero, sometimes goat. Is he part of the team, or just a lonely soul in pursuit of the perfect kick? Yes and no. He is like the virtuoso standing before the orchestra—they are one, and yet sepa­ rate. And if he must supply the comic relief at his own expense, so be it. Just let him kick. "Look at that guy,” a bystander said one day, at an Eastern school. Practice had ended and the field was empty, ex­ cept for the kicker, who stayed to prac­ tice his art. He was before his altar, the goal posts—but no holder, no ball. Nothing but kick, kick, kick, through thin air. "What’s wrong with that?” the other guy said. "He’s just practicing his swing.” "Yeah,” the first guy said. "And watch­ ing the ball go through.” ® If you've al­ ways thought 0 little cor meant 0 lot of crowding, you've obviously never looked into a Volkswagen Rabbit.

This is espe­ cially true in football. Through the years many coaches blessed with a feel for humor have used just that to relax their players. One of the earliest practitioners of this art was the late Dan McGugin. Beginning in 1904, he developed Vanderbilt teams that reigned supreme in the South and won some glorious intersectional victories. Fresh from the University of Michigan law school, a head coach at 24 after playing on the Wolverines' 1901 Rose Bowl team, McGugin was hearty, convivial, with big, kindly Irish eyes of blue and an infinite deal of wit. Stressing that his players should take advantage of opportunities that came along, he would illustrate by telling each new group of freshmen about a bumblebee that was floating around in clover blossoms when an old bull gobbled him up. "I will sting this bull and teach him a lesson," Dan would quote the bee as saying. "But then the bee decided it was so cozy and warm inside the bull that he would take a nap and sting the bull when he woke up. And you know, when the bee woke up, the bull was gone." When McGugin thought his ball carriers were hogging the limelight, he might call the varsity 11 together for a vote on the ques­ tion: Which is more valuable to the team, the line or the backfield? Usually the line would win, seven votes to four. Before the 1922 game with Michigan which dedicated Vanderbilt's new stadium, the first built in the South, McGugin gath­ ered his players in the dressing room and sent them on the field with these words: "You are going against Yankees, some of whose grandfathers tried to kill your grand­ fathers in the Civil War." Underdog Van­ derbilt fought to a scoreless tie. The players didn't know—or didn't care—that McGugin's own father had been an officer in the Union army. No joke at all were McGugin's weak kidneys during a game. Often players stretched a blanket to shield him from crowd view as he relieved himself. He drank lots of water during a game, and in his later years sat in a big canvas-bottom chair on the sidelines that had a built-in pottie. McGugin might be standing on a street corner, holding a cane or folded umbrella, waiting for a traffic light to change, and suddenly smack a strange lady across the fanny with it. Before she could turn around, he would have it in the hands of a stunneci companion and be berating him for his ' freshness and ill manners. One of coach Dan's favorite gags was to arrange a golf game between friends of his who were strangers to each other, and tell each one separately that the other was hard of hearing. A practicing attorney who coached foot­ ball only in the fall, McGugin used sly methods of stimulating players to super-ef­ fort. The night before a game against Geor­ gia Tech in Atlanta in 1930, he walked up to Pete Gracey, later to become an all-America center, put his arm around him and said: "1 was with some Atlanta newspapermen this afternoon and 1 told them you were the finest sophomore center I've ever coached. I hope I haven't made it embarrassing for you." Vanderbilt beat Tech, 6-0. Afterward Gracey talked to seven teammates and found out that McGugin had told each of them the same thing. McGugin's relationship with his college coach, unforgettable Fielding Yost, was unique. When Dan married a Nashville girl, Virginia Fite, in 1905, Yost was his best man and there met Virginia's sister, Eunice, who became Mrs. Yost. Before his retirement in 1927, straight-thinking, intense "Hurry Up" Ypst used to rush to Nashville at the end of Michigan's football season to see Vanderbilt wind up against Sewanee on Thanksgiving Day. Then he and McGugin would go to the American Football Coaches Association convention. One year Yost was to deliver the conven­ tion's principal address; and on the long train ride, this time to New York City, he insisted on rehearsing the speech as McGu­ gin listened—so often that McGugin knew it by heart. As the coaches' meeting opened, a discussion arose on the floor and the chair­ man asked McGugin to come to the rostrum and make some remarks on the subject. McGugin responded by giving Yost's speech in its entirety. It strained their friendship. On another occasion, McGugin and Yost were with friends on a duck hunt in Arkan­ sas. Yost was an avid historian, and was said to have been the first man in America to declare Doc Cook, once heralded as the discoverer of the North Pole, was a fraud. Y('st was a champion of the true discoverer, Cc'mmodore Peary. McGugin set it up that the duck hunters at dinner should start a discussion about Cook and Peary. After informal debate, it was suggested that a ballot be taken to determine how the indi­ viduals stood on the matter. They voted, with the result 16 to 3 in favor of Peary as the genuine discoverer. As expected, Yost leaped to the floor angrily and orated for 25 minutes for the purpose of convincing the negative three. When he finished, McGugin suggested they vote again. This time Cook won, 18 to 1. Until his death in 1936, at age 56, Dan McGugin practiced what he preached—that laughter lubricated the human spirit. — Fred Russell COLLEGE FOOTBALL: STUFF OF LEGEND 17 Compliments Of Tonight, let it be Lowenbrau.

OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL NEW CAR EVER. Ever since its introduction, people have been flooding Chevy shoAvrooms across the country to see the 1980 Chevy Citation. And according to Retail Delivery Reports, 33,765 units were sold in its first three weeks, more than any new entry Chevrolet has ever introduced. MID-SIZE ROOM FOR 5. Citation’s engine is mounted sideways, so the passenger compartment can be bigger. In fact, in EPA interior dimensions. Citation is classified as a mid-size car. With the back seat folded down there’s room enough for two adults in front and 30 bags of groceries in back. OTO 501N 9 SECONDS PLAT WITH THE AVAILABLE V6. In engineering tests. Citation goes from 0 to 50 in 9 seconds flat. That’s with available 2.8 Liter V6 engine and automatic transmission. California figures not available. (Citation is equipped with GM-built engines produced by various divisions. See your dealer for details.) GM _ EAST ON GAS. ^ EPA ESTIMATED MPG. 38 HIGHWAY ESTIMATE. That’s with Citation’s standard 2.5 Liter 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission. (Manual transmission currently not available in California. Calif, estimates lower.) Citation’s standard 4-speed transmission is made to conserve gas. It’s an overdrive. And at cruising speeds the 4th gear lets the engine run slower than with a conventional transmission, helping to get impressive fuel economy. IMPRESSIVE LONG-RANGE CRUISING ESTIMATES, TOO. And Citation’s long-range cruising estimates are just as Impressive. I336lmiles based on EPA estimated MPG (city) mileage figures, and 532 miles based on estimated highway MPG. Range figures obtained by multiplying Citation’s 14-gallon fuel tank capacity rating by the EPA mileage estimates. REMEMBER: Compare the circled estimated MPG to the estimated MPG of other cars. You may get different mileage and range depending on your speed, trip length and weather. Your actual city mileage and range will be less in heavy city traffic. Your actual mileage will probably be the YOU’VE GOT TO DRIVE IT TO BELIEVE IT. When you drive Citation you’ll see what all the excitement is about. The way it feels. The way it maneuvers. The way it rides. And Citation’s front wheel drive puts approximately 65% of its weight over the “driving wheels” to give you impressive traction on wet or snowy roads. IT’S A WHOLE NEW KIND OF COMPACT CAR. There’s still a lot about Citation that we haven’t mentioned. Like slip stream design to cut down on wind resistance and wind noise. The hidden cargo area in all hatchback models, so what’s inside is protected from view. A dual diagonal braking system. And much, much more. That’s why we encourage you to see your Chevy dealer and test drive the 1980 Chevy Citation today. This could be the car you’ve had in mind.

Why it belongs on America’s finest cars. The Goodyear American Eagle Radial tire is as revolu­ tionary today as our first rayon cord tire was in 1938 and our Polyglas in 1967 and the Polysteel Radial when introduced in 1974. What makes the American Eagle Radial the tire for today is belts of Flexten cord. It is made from a flexible, man-made aramid fiber that is, pound for pound, stronger than steel. Flexten cord —a step ahead of steel —makes the American Eagle Radial tough and strong. Yet, the American Eagle is gratifyingly smooth riding, too. Comfort, control and confidence are the qualities of the American Eagle Radial... the unique luxury tire designed by Goodyear for the American driver and the American road.

V [ ^ K he raccoon coat may have been hung up in the closet with the button down shirt, but the zest ■ for college football had not waned as the '70s s^J began. And, then, as Greeks and girls once again be­ came important things, the college game picked up steam. A nation got up to watch season-ending thrillers on Thanksgiving morning. The 1970s saw freshmen become eligible to play on the varsity again for the first time since after World War II, it saw restrictions on scholarships and the size of coaching staffs, it saw rules implemented to save knees and the athletic fu­ tures of young men, and it saw the advent of the veer and the wishbone. It also saw the departure and return of two of its most successful coaches. Just like the millions of fans and alums everywhere, they couldn’t stay away from college football. Tn the 1970s there has been a greater emphasis on the skilled players in college football,” said one well-respected coach. "The early '70s were marked by the veer at Houston and then the wishbone at Texas. Now, as the '70s are on by Blaine Newnham, Eugene REGISTER-GUARD their way out, the trend is toward the passing game and a mobile quarterback. “It's a wonderful game, one that will always he changing. With over 600 schools, somebody is always coming up with something new.” The freshness, the kids, the cheerleaders, the bands, what­ ever it is, people like it. It is truly remarkable that the college game—the same game played by Red Grange and Ernie Nevers and Johnny Lujack—is now seen by more peoj)le on television and in the stadiums across the land as well than at any time in its history. Colleges saw 34 million people attend games played in 1978 and the American Broadcasting Company pay $30 mil­ lion a year for the television rights to do games of all levels. All records. And although the football giants dominated the 1970s as they did the 1960s before that, the game has moved away from an elitism, rather than towards it. Instead, legislation worked toward parity of its members and television contracts of the late 1970s began to ensure television for Division I-AA, Division II and Division III as well as Division I. In 1977, ABC televised 13 national games as it had done through most of the 1970s, but in 1978 it covered 45 regional continued on 30t 27t , ' ‘‘’i ;vi' --i - ;£. •» ' “ MOTORS PARTS DIVISION Mr. Goodwrench specializes in working on your GM car, van or truck at independent, participating General Motors dealers.

If you wonder that the college game really is that popular, and if it can com­ pete in homes across the land against the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, the NASL, major league baseball. Soap, and Laverne and Shirley, then look to the commercial market and what the going rate is for television rights. In 1976, following the 1975 season and the best ratings the colleges have ever had, ABC signed a contract to pay $18 million a year on a two-year contract to do college football. People were impressed. Then, two lion watched in 1970, 8.7 in 1971, 8.6 in 1972, 8.0 in 1973, 8.2 in 1974, 9.2 in 1975, and a record 10.0 in 1976. Recent ratings indicated that 9.6 watched in 1977 and 8.9 in 1978. In the decade of the ’70s, ABC went from doing ten national games and 26 regionals in 1969 to 13 na­ tionals and 45 regionals in 1979. As far as people turning out on brisk Saturdays to sit in the stadiums, the numbers are astounding. In fact, helped by a grass roots surge in Divisions II and III, college football attendance in 1978 enjoyed its second largest increase in history—1,346,428 spectators for an all-time national high of 34,251,606 spectators. eastern. Big Eight, Pacific-10, Southwest, Atlantic Coast Conference, and the Western Athletic Conference—were up 1,761 per game in 1978, their biggest in­ crease ever to an all-time high of 48,215 for each game. And for the first time since 1970-71, both the top seven conferences and all other teams in the country went up to­ gether two straight years. Which was significant. Every year previously back to 1967, the indepen­ dents were up in the odd-numbered years and down in the even-numbered years. So it was rare and significant that the big conferences should go up at the same time that the independents and Wide open passing attacks coupied with high scoring offenses have drawn record crowds to coiiege stadiums throughout the ’70s. years later, ABC and the NCAA sat down and negotiated a four-year contract to last through 1981. It was a total package of $118 million, or $30 million a year. Never had college football had the leverage to extract a four-year contract before, or demand that the package in­ clude twice the regional games pireviously done and a season peppered with games from the other divisions. Obviously, ABC had something it liked and wanted to keep. All through the '70s its ratings stead­ ily, if not consistently, improved. In terms of millions of viewers watching college football on an average Saturday, Nielsen ratings indicated that 8.3 mil- 30t It was the 24th increase in the last 25 seasons of college football attendance. It climbed in 1954 over 1953 and has gone up every year since, except for a tiny drop in 1974. Since 1954, the third year of the NCAA television plan, national at­ tendance has more than doubled, from 17.0 million then to'more than 34 mil­ lion now. In 1978, NCAA Division II schools produced the largest percentage in­ crease in per-game average at 9.48 per­ cent. Next came Division III at an in­ crease of 8.59 percent, followed by Divi­ sion lA, up 3.89 percent. Significantly, the top seven major col­ lege conferen<;es—Big Ten, South- small schools were also going up. And, to boot, it came at a time when the NCAA had doubled its regional tele­ vision package. While it was gratifying to everyone that average attendance was up for all 643 four-year colleges with varsity teams, the big numbers, quite naturally were still with the big schools. One major college, for example, ran its streak of 100,000-plus crowds to 22 en route to its fifth consecutive national attendance crown and set an all-time high for the fourth straight season. Its average in 1978 was 104,948 for six home games. continued Quality makes them worth asking for continued ABOUT THE AUTHOR-Blaine Newnham, sports editor of The Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard since 1971, feels that relevancy is a must for sports writing. “It must answer the questions of the fans. It must be done with style, a style encompassing accuracy, entertainment, integrity and a real care for the reader’s needs." Newnham, a journalism major at the University of California at Berkeley, authored the book The Jogging Experience and was voted Oregon's Sports Writer of the Year in 1974. For a while it was presumed that the college game would flourish only in col­ lege towns, and not in areas where the pros played. In 1978, one Southwest Conference school increased its home attendance by 24,921 a game to 51,959 even though playing in the same state with a major football power and a Super Bowl champion. It was winning, a wide-open passing game and an extensive, multi-faceted promotional campaign which produced the increase. In 1973, the \CAA realigned its mem­ bers with a Division II and a Division III and then starting in 1978 went to Divi­ sion I-AA for schools nearly the size and Even stormy weather does not keep today’s fans away from the game. Autumn fever strikes everyone associated with coiiege footbaii. 32t strength of those playing Division lA hut looking for a different scope of competi­ tion. At the same time the NCAA member­ ship voted to control the growth of bigtime college football, hopeful of both keeping expenses in check and moving toward a parity which might increase interest and attendance at the other schools in the league. Coaching staffs were limited to eight assistants and scholarships were lim­ ited to 105 and eventually to 95. Schools were allowed to give no more than 30 scholarships in a single \ ear. There was cost-cutting, to be sure, but moreover there were more good football players to be shared. A football power might take its favorite 30, hut there were still some very good players to be taken by others. There is no question that a few schools still go to most of the howl games. But considering the two decades just past, only four schools ranked in the top ten during both ten-year periods. If you wondered why more people all the time are watching college football, it might well be that the teams are more offensive than ever before. In 1975, college football teams were averaging 408.9 yards per game (both teams) as the wishbones and veers put running backs in the open field as they never had been before. At the same time, passing, which started the decade at 305.3 yards per game in 1970, hit a bottom of 239.2 in 1975, hut then started coming back up in 1976 to 246.9 and finally to 277.7 in 1978. Running dropped off slightly, but in 1978 it was the best of both worlds for the offense—rushing was at 358.2 (the seventh highest in history) and passing was at 277.7 (the fifth highest in his­ tory). The total was 662.9, or the highest in history. The key? Greater efficiency of offense, and more highly-skilled players. In addition, 1978 saw all field-goal ac­ curacy and total field goal records smashed. In eight years since 1970, the percentage of accuracy of field goals was up 25 percent. In the 1970s the college football teams put an average of more than 40 points on the scoreboard (both teams com­ bined) while gaining more yardage than ever before. The excitement didn’t go unnoticed, not by the fans, not by the networks.

'Dupont registered trademark by Larry Bortstein or years, the tight end had one responsibility—to block a linebacker and help an offensive foray spring loose. In recent years, however, the de­ mands of playing tight end have become greater and greater—some think as varied as the de­ mands of the linebacker on defense. In fact, mastery of the tight end spot requires, in some minds, the best corhbination of skills of any football player on the field. As one West Coast athletic director sees it, “The tight end has to be a pass receiver-blocker combination, and he can expect contact on every play. Most of his routes are to the inside, where things are at their most violent." Though the prototype tight end is someone who stands well over six feet and scales well over 200 pounds, many feel it is a player’s skill and ability to withstand the varied nature of the position that make a successful tight end. “He’s kind of an all-everything guy,” said a Southeastern Conference coach of the tight end spot. "He has to do so many things, and that means he has to block, catch passes, and run. He probably has the ability to play a lot of positions on the team. Some teams get along without one, especially on the college level, but a good tight end will open the de­ fense up.” The feeling that the tight end might be the best athlete on the field was echoed by others. As one Big Eight assistant put it, “The tight end has to be a good enough blocker to make the run offense go and he has to be an adequate receiver to make the pass a threat.” Perhaps the oddest aspect of the tight end position is that continued on 38t 35t JOHNNY LUJACK by David Condon, Chicago TRIBUNE ohnny Lujack and Notre Dame’s 1946 Irish, pointed toward a na­ tional championship, opened the season with a 26-6 triumph over an Il­ linois eleven destined to romp in the first modern Big Ten-Pacific Coast Rose Bowl game. Three days afterwards, the Chicago Tribune’s Wilfrid Smith— founding president of the Football VWiters Association—was telling his local lodge gathering: 'Tve watched college ball for 30 years. This postwar era will be the most excit­ ing we’ve ever known. Army still is king in the East. With players like Alex and Lou Agase, Perry Moss, Mac Wenskunas, and Buddy Young, the Illini will be tough. "But Notre Dame and Michigan each might go three years without a loss be­ cause they don’t meet. And Notre Dame has the greatest all-around college player we’ve ever seen. . "He’s Johnny Lujack. You remember him from ’43. In the next two years Lujack could make us fj^rget every other back we’ve seen. He does it all. Su­ perbly.’’ Ed "Moose’’ Krause, an assistant to Frank Leahy at Notre Dame, nodded agreement. "Smitty’s right,” said Krause. "Lujack’s the greatest all-around Notre Dame back ever. Coach Leahy thinks he’s the Four Horsemen rolled into one.” Lujack was to direct the team to 17 victories and a scoreless tie in the next two seasons. Smith had written in that mornings paper: "Lujack is the irreplaceable man in the Irish attack. He is one of the best forward passers in collegiate football, a dependable and accurate punter, and his knowledge of the T formation gives his mates confidence in his judgment.” Now Smith was telling the writers: "I did Lujack an injustice emphasizing his offensive talent and the out-of-bounds punting that kept those Illini backs at bay. There was one defensive play that proved Lujack’s supreme value.” The Illini had possession on their 33. Buddy Young, a sprinter who left no forwarding address when he took off with the ball, zoomed by Jack Zilly the ND right end. Irish secondary defenders were blocked out.

MerriU Lynch Abreed apart continued from 35t its responsibilities change from team to team. In general, most other positions make the same demands from team to team—the running backs run, the wide receivers go out for passes, the linemen block or tackle. But depending on his team — or even on particular game situations—the tight end may be asked to do any and all of these things (with the possible exception of tackle) during the course of a single afternoon. And even if the tight end does no tackling himself, he must have a betterthan-average knack for breaking the tackles of a defensive man in order to do his own job. “The tight end usually has to be strong enough to get past the linebacker on his side,” says an East Coast coach, “even a linebacker that outweighs him by 30 to 40 pounds. That is, if the offense is going to have the kind of variety you want. Often, a block or a break of a tackle by the tight end is the key to making a particular play work, whether it’s a run or pass. Very often, the tight end is the guy you’re disguising the whole play around. And if the tight end is a legitirtiate threat to receive the ball on the play—whether you actually throw to him or not—the defense has to consider him in its plan­ ning. “This means,” concludes the coach, “that a tight end in many cases has to be the best athlete on the field. And if you’ve got a real good one, well, you’ve got something.” The position of tight end has changed over the years. Not too long ago, a slower man would be assigned to the spot. He would be expected to block and to keep the defense away from the . running backs. Today, teams need a tight end who can catch the ball, at least a little. While he need not be a gazelle, the tight end should know something about how to run a pass route, how to cut—all the things a receiver has to do. In earlier years, the tight end was seen as a pri­ mary receiver only in desperate situa­ tions. Today a lot of passing plays are geared expressly for the tight end— when he is the type of player who has pass-catching abilities. And you can bet that everyone is looking for that type of player. Intelligence is also viewed as a chief requisite of the tight end, and one with real “smarts” is that much more valu­ able. A Midwest assistant coach gives this example: “An audible means most players shift blocking assignments, but the tight end must quickly shift from a pass pattern to a blocking assignment. This type of adjustment takes a lot of concentration plus an unusual amount of talent. Because he must make these types of adjustments and still carry out 38t dent. “One thing the tight end is almost guaranteed is physical contact on every play,” he says. “And that tends to limit the number of guys who really enjoy the position. Not only does he have to be a big, strong kid, but he really has to enjoy that shot on every play, even the ones in which he doesn’t even figure. It comes with the territory, that shot in the side, that punishing block, all of that, and a lot of kids have had trouble staying with it, even when they had what it took physically. “Tight end isn’t for everybody,” he concludes. And not everybody agrees on the overall worth of the tight end. A coach in the Western Athletic Conference says, “I don’t think the tight end is the finest player on the field. On offense, I think the quarterback and running backs are better players. On defense, I think the linebackers are better. Certainly the tight end has to be a cut above the aver­ age kid. But I think at tight end you can get by with a competitor who can run and catch the football. In college foot­ ball, the tight end is a combination tackle and wide receiver. He’s probably not the best tackle on the team, nor the best wide receiver. There are excep­ tions, of course. You might find a few who are complete players, but more often than not they are in-between players.” The all-around tight end is a good This opinion was in the minority receiver and a good blocker. among those contacted for purposes of the assignment with a high degree researching this article.

THEBALANCED ATTACK GIVES ATEAM ADECIDEDEDGE by Mai Florence, Los Angeles TIMES /' Some schools renowned for their taUback-oriented offense won Some big games last season—by passing. Other schools, highly ranked in the wire service poll at the end of the sea­ son, have been eminently successful with a wishbone-style attack geared to the running game. But they operate from other formations and are not re­ luctant to pass. Traditional advocates of power foot­ ball and the running game are incorpo­ rating more passes into their offense. There is a trend, many college coaches say, to a balanced offensive ap­ proach. This doesn’t mean a 50-50 ration between the run and pass but the ability to be flexible. "Defenses have become so sophisticated now that they can focus on any particular offensive phase of the game and take it away from you,” says a prominent West Coast coach. “So an offense must be balanced. By balance I mean two things—to attack effectively someone who is, say, overplaying the run and to complete enough passes for consistent gains—not neces­ sarily long passes—but a high percentage of completions." Balance, the West Coast coach continued, isn’t just an im­ mediate reaction to a defensive scheme but must be part of your overall offensive philosophy. “You just can’t run the ball for seven games and then be put in a position where you have to pass and be able to do it,” he says. “You can go down some roads you can’t come back from. Nor can you win four games by passing 40 times and then all of a sudden be expected to run 50 times in a game in order to win. It can’t be done.” A popular Southeastern coach has run the gamut on offense from a conservative wishbone (with three or four passes a game) to a multiple or pro-styled attack. Why has he converted to a more balanced brand of football? “Most teams are lining up in an eight-man defensive front now instead of seven,” he says,"and it’s difficult to run against the eight-man front but easier to pass on it. Because of this I think there is a trend away from pure option football.” Yet, this Southeastern coach was once identified with the coaching fraternity that believed that three things can happen when you pass—and two of them are bad (incompletions, in­ terceptions). “Most people assume that a passing game is a high risk of­ fense,” he says. “It is only if you have an unreliable quarterback. The risk diminishes in propor­ tion to the intelligence of the quarterback. “A so-called pro-type offense has a different connotation to continued 4 It -f * “ *5* “ 1 This is the Nikon for you.

BALANCCO ATMCK continued me than other people. To me it means we won’t run any option. That’s all. "It’s much easier to run the option against a seven-man front and harder to throw against it. It’s the opposite with an eight-man front and it’s difficult to find a quarterback who is both a good option runner and a good passer.’’ The West Coast coach says that if a quarterback is involved in the option game, he can’t develop as a passer. "In the pure option the quarterback is involved in every running play,’’ he says. "But, if you’re not running the op­ tion, the quarterback’s presence isn’t required as much when you’re practic­ ing the running game. So he has more times to improve his skills as a passer.” But balance isn’t for every team. There are notable exceptions. "A powerhouse that is so overwhelm­ ingly effective with its power-running triple option can go against the per­ centages (defenses stacked against the run) and still be successful,” the West Coast coach says. "There are exceptions to every rule and this case is an excep­ tion.” There is another side to the offensive spectrum. While some teams slug it out on the ground, others rely on passing for the main thrust of their offense. A strong running back plays a key role in a successful offense. Unusual? Maybe. But establishing the passing game first has been tremen­ dously effective at schools with a strong throwing heritage. "Certain teams seek balance but from a different angle,” a Midwest coach says. "They don’t throw just to be throwing but as a means of controlling the ball—and they do it very well. Then, they’ll run at you when you’re over-playing the pass. But there is al­ ways the constant threat of the pass.” Unique antenna for apartment, dorm or attic. Floor to ceiling pole model for apartments.

How does a team defend against a balanced attack—one that has a fine runner and an accurate passer? "A defense can be a containing one,” says the Midwestern coach. "It can try to out-flank the offense, especially if it is concerned about the passing game. De­ fenses try to take advantage of the field and which hash mark the offense is operating from. "Or, the defense can be a gambling one—such as blitzes and constantly changing up. The danger is that in changing up you’ll be in a defense on occasions that is suited to be exploited by the offense.” It’s doubtful that the pass-minded of­ fense is the forerunner of a collegiate trend. Nor can many teams emulate a devastating wishbone running game. These are offensive philosophies that have been ingrained at certain schools for many years and can’t be copied on an experimental basis. But college defenses, more intricate and sound than they were even 10 years ago, are now dictating to offenses. And the offense is getting the cuemore balance—run and pass—to keep the defense off balance. , Attic or gara ge installation, Ideal for horrles and where rooftop ant snnas are restricted. 4 mocfels for all reception situations MINI-SIZE ELECTRONIC ANTENNA K Housing con ains exclusive electronic cir cuit board that lets antenna work similar to one twice its size.
