EDINBORO...THE BIRTH OF A UNIVERSITY
After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on
July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in
1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the
forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in
western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the
University is within 1CX) miles of the educational and
cultural canters of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is
just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in
Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by
interstates 79, 80 and 90.
Edinboro has the distinction of being the second
normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in
the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings
including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a
modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point
for the spacious campus. More than 5,800 students
representing almost every county in the Commonwealth,
as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend
Edinboro. Jts tradition of educational service and research
is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds
of whom have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 under
graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a
diversity unmatched by any other college or university in
northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the
educational needs of its region from both a professional
and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now mckes contributions
in the fields of education, government, environmental
improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention,
and service to business and industry. Recent program
developments include those in the high-demand areas of
allied health, business administration, communication,
computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes
sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy
and veterinary science. Numerous student internships
provide additional examples of the University's efforts to
create a close working relationship with the people it
serves while, at the same time, offering students intel
lectual and career opportunities.
Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program
to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences
for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students
are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in
their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than
those required of other undergraduates.
Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among
the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $8,000,000 in
financial aid is available annually to eligible students.
Students are admitted to the University in September,
January, or at the beginning of each summer session and
are considered for admission on the basis of their general
scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT
scores.

SCOTS EYE GRID RECORDS AGAINST LAKERS
Durkin
Chealey
Trueman
Edinboro University, rated one of the top offensive
football teams in the country, will be pointing towards a
record breaking finish today when the Fighting Scots play
host to nearby Mercyhurst. Coach Denny Creehan's
gridders, now 7-2 on the year, find themselves at the
threshold of becoming the best point and yardage pro
ducing unit in the school's history when they close regular
season action against the 5-1-2 Lakers.
The red-hot Scots could very easily rank as the top total
offense team in the nation when the final NCAA Division II
stats are tabulated and will most likely own the number two
spot nationally in scoring. Edinboro is currently averaging a
torrid 453 yards per game both rushing and passing, a
figure almost 30 yards ahead of the EUP record set in 1971,
and needs only 168 yards to eclipse the single season total
offense mark of 4,244 yards. The point-potent Scots,
lighting up the scoreboard at a 37.6 points-per-game pace,
also need just 18 markers to topple the existing season
scoring standard of 335 points.
Mercyhurst will be confronted with the yeoman task of
slowing a relentless ground attack that is tearing up the turf
at a 283 yards-per-game rate.
Headlining a cast of 20 different rushers who have
lugged the pigskin for the Scots are fullback Keith Collier
(60.3 yards per game) along with halfbacks Bob Klenk
(51.1) and Damon Chambers (48.1). Klenk also leads a list
of 17 different scorers with 10 touchdowns and an extra
point reception for 62 points followed by Chambers seven
scores.
The main cog in the Scot's wing-T offense is junior
quarterback Blair Hrovat who now owns 13 Edinboro
records. In last week's 50-7 rout of Lock Haven, the
Northfield, Ohio, product set a new career passing
standard with his 3,449 yards, became the top total offense
getter in the school's history with 4,050 yards and
surpassed his own season record for touchdown tosses
with 15 scoring strikes on the year. He also directed an
Edinboro attack that netted a record-tying 605 yards
against the Bald Eagles. The Scot signal caller, behind a
rebuilt offensive line that has improved with each game,
has connected on 87 of 158 attempts for 1,454 yards to
register an impressive 55.1 percent accuracy mark.
Halfbacks Ron Rankin and Bob Klenk along with wide
receiver Gary McKnight have been Hrovat's top targets.
Rankin has snared 19 tosses for 275 yards with McKnight
grabbing 16 for 428 and four touchdowns while Klenk
owns 12 for 137 yards.
Edinboro's defense has also made its mark as one of
the most respected aggregates in the country against the
rush. The stingy Scots are permitting only 71.4 yards per
game in the rushing department while allowing only five
touchdowns in nine games on the ground. In the mean
time, the Scots secondary has pilfered 19 enemy passes
and yielded only 194 yards per game against some of the
nation's top rated passers.
Fleet-footed junior linebacker Willie Chealey has run
away with the team's tackling lead on the strength of 111
stops. He is complemented by linebacker sidekick Jim
Durkin whose hard hitting has earned him runnerup
honors with 90 jolts. Rounding out the leader list are
middle guard John O'Rorke (78), ends Bob Beauregard and
Phil Giavasis with respective 68 and 65 thumps along with
tackles Rick Jordan (64) and Don Espy (56). Jordan is tops in
the sacks department with 12, just three shy of the season
record of 15. The Jamestown, New York, native is fast
approaching the career mark of 27 with his three-year total
of 22 sacks.
Also etching his name in the record book is freshman
placekicker Jim Trueman from Bellevue's Northgate High
School. The Scot's booter, who is the team's second
leading scorer with 59 points, moved past the season
record of 31 on his final PAT against Lock Haven. He has
converted 32 of 35 attempts and kicked nine field goals.
The invading Lakers pin their hopes on the running of
fullback Tim Ruth (586 yards on 110 carries) and the
passing of quarterback Eddie Ricci. The duo work behind
Mercyhurst's offensive line leader 6-5, 265-pound tackle
Mike Stepnoski.
Getting its biggest test of the year will be the
Mercyhurst defense which has given up only 9.5 points per
game. Standouts here are the linebacker tandem of Don
Gibbon and Tim Latimer with respective 91 and 72 tackle
totals in eight games.
"Hopefully, this will only be the last home game for our
15 seniors," offered Creehan whose "finely tuned"
gridders have outscored their opposition 137-15 in the last
three games. "We know our post-season chances are slim
with two losses, but I know this team is the kind that would
be exciting at the national playoff level," he concluded.
END TO END — Teaming up at the defensive end spots
for the last time at Sox Harrison are seniors Bob
Beauregard and Phil Giavasis.

His innovative efforts at Edinboro have taken
many shapes. Most recently, he initiated a total
reorganization of the University's various academic
schools and administrative offices with a watchful
eye upon fiscal responsibility and increased institu
tional responsiveness. In keeping with his policy of
making maximum use of existing campus resources
in higher education, he has imaginatively met the
ever-changing needs brought about by new and
emerging student interests and societal expecta
tions.
Unique cooperative programs with area business
and industry are also the result of President Diebold's
revitalization of Edinboro University. Among his
President Diebold's community service includes
membership on the Board of Corporators, Hamot
Medical Center in Erie, and on Marine Bank's Local

Philadelphia Inquirer
y now it has become as common
an occurrence of the competitive
autumn as a change in the Top 10
rankings. The product of intelligent, tacti
cal coaching, it may be the one facet of
collegiate football most often overlooked
by those who equate victory with blatant
mismatches in physical skill.
It occurs when a defense armed with
semi-swift cornerbacks, a lumbering line
backer or two, and a pair of ubiquitous
safeties defies everyone’s stopwatch
numbers and shuts down some wide re
ceiver with after-burners where his legs
ought to be.
Speed, of course, is still a prime requi
site for pass receivers, and it is no great
revelation to say that most coaches would
rather have fast athletes than slow ones.
But through skillful deployment of the de
fensive troops—that unity of effort called
coordination—it is possible to take speed
out of the game by turning off the burner,
so to speak.
Many a fine receiver has been victim
ized by a successful demonstration of
double coverage, the strategic plan
coaches often resort to when the op
position includes an uncommonly swift
pass receiver.
As the term implies, double coverage is
a maneuver executed by two defenders
on a single receiver, and its success de
pends on great harmony of effort and
timing. Double coverage is inevitably dic
tated by talent—both of the receiver and
the athletes available to cover him—and is
usually carried out by an outside line
backer and a cornerback, a linebacker
and a free safety, or a cornerback and a
safety—though the variations may seem
endless.
Consider one ideal example; The re
ceiver sprints off the line of scrimmage in
the company of an outside linebacker
whose assignment it is to stay within tackcontinued

DOUBLE COVERAGE
continued
ling range through the first 12-15 yards of
the pass route. Almost at the moment the
receiver is about to leave the LB gasping
on the turf, the battle is joined by the de
fensive back, who carries out the cov
erage from 15 yards onward.
Or, as may be more memorably ob
served: The receiver moves into his route
with a cornerback matching him stride
for stride. A few moments later, moving
on the quarterback’s throw or a break in
the route, one of the safeties quickly
moves into the play either to break up the
pass, go for the ball or make the tackle
before too much yardage is lost.
Successful, down-after-down repeti
tion of double coverage, especially when
it is matched with a sustained pass rush,
can mean a long afternoon for the fastest
wide receiver and, in due course, an
equally frustrated quarterback forced to
throw to other targets.
A rising young assistant coach who tu
tors defensive backs for an eastern power
explains: “If you’re facing a particularly
skilled wide receiver, a kid who’s got the
ability to break it, you want to take him
out of their offense, and make him beat
you ‘left-handed.”’
A defense so instructed then may
double-cover the receiver in a variety of
ways, the length and breadth of the field.
"It’s multi-faceted,” says the assistant
coach. "You might double him long and
short—bracket him all up the field—or
inside and out. Your (defensive) method is
determined by the total defense, whether
you’re stunting up front and getting some
pressure on the passer. Whatever you do
has to be coordinated with the rest of the
defense.”
But for those who must carry it out,
double coverage can be a harsh athletic
task despite two men on the job.
"It’s really a tough assignment for the
linebacker,” an eastern head coach says
with discernable sympathy in his voice.
"He’s got to try to keep up with the re
ceiver (who is probably 40 pounds light
er), and who’s to say the offense won’t run
or throw an option at him?
No matter how dramatically effective
double coverage may be, it is a defensive
scheme most coaches would rather not
have to use. For in the deployment of two
defenders to a single receiver, the at
tacking team gains a lO-on-9 manpower
advantage. The defense that tries to dou
ble cover both wide receivers obviously
suffers an even greater deficit, if not the
kind of numbers game that can produce
the wrong kind of numbers on the scoreboard.
"The team that doubles up on one part
of the offense,” says a veteran West Coast
coach, "is going to have to sacrifice some
thing to the rest. You can’t do it without
4t
A typical double coverage alignment finds the linebacker covering the receiver 12-15 yards
downfield before the defensive back takes over.
leaving a hole somewhere.”
For that very reason, a football team’s
most effective receiver probably should
be determined by the type of coverage he
demands, rather than by his receptions
and receiving yardage. The pass catcher
most often tagged a "decoy,” one who bur
dens a defense by taking two players out
of the scheme of things, is an undeniable
weapon whether he catches a pass or not.
"That’s what makes it worrisome,” says
the eastern head coach. "You’ve got to
make sure when you’re covering their
fast guy with two of yours that they don’t
have someone else pop free.
"Double coverage is a defense most
coaches would rather not play. You’d
rather hope you’ve got the personnel ca
pable of going one-on-one with every
body you play.”
Even so, the occasions of double cov
erage have increased, along with such
tactical phenomena as the fifth (nickel)
and sixth (dime) defensive back. Such cov
erages have been brought about by col
lege football’s increasing affection for,
and sophisticated use of, the forward
pass.
And as might be expected, the offense
has responded in kind. Reacting to double
coverage, the attacking team can make
the defense work even harder by aligning
its speedster to the tight end side of the
line of scrimmage.
"It’s easier to double cover a split re
ceiver,” the head coach says. “It’s much
harder against a flanker with a tight end
on the same side, especially if the tight
end is a good blocker. The flanker gets
into the pattern quicker.”
Other offensive retaliation includes
three wide receivers in the formation,
usually as the tactical response to what
one head coach calls, "maximum
coverage—where they rush three (play
ers) and cover with eight. That doesn’t
leave too many areas of the field un
defended, and it’s pretty tough to pump
the ball in there.”
What it all reflects, of course, is a dy
namic continuum—the offensive ebb and
defensive flow of collegiate football. Out
of the constant struggle between tacti
cians devoted to moving the ball and stra
tegists determined to stop it, come the
trends and the drama that continue to fas
cinate us from one hopeful autumn to the
next.

then the first team scout squads. We put
the best of the scout teamers into the kick
ing units. This helps morale.”
A scout teamer’s life is not an easy one.
The better players are redshirts, good
athletes trading a year of immaturity for
what likely will be a standout final sea
son, and getting an extra year’s classwork
toward a degree.
Every good athlete hates his redshirt
year while it is happening, but looks back
on it gratefully when he is enjoying a tri
umphant final season.
“The scout teamer has to report early
for the kicking game we work on before
practice, and then sometimes stay late for
the kicking phases we do afterwards,”
says a head coach.
He points out the negatives.
“It’s easy for a scout teamer to get into
bad habits.
“An offensive lineman might just slop
around, step with the wrong foot, just
move out rather than fire out. A receiver
might make a poor effort in traffic. A
quarterback might look at one receiver all
the way, rather than read the defense, the
way he always should. He might throw it
into a crowd, which he should never do,
and which doesn’t help our defense.
“The best scout team quarterback we
ever had spent a year getting eligible after
transferring. The habits he developed
carried him to All-Southwest honors two
years later, and us to a co-championship.”
If seniors will, they can set a tempo and
patterns that will maximize the con
tributions of the scout team and make for
outstanding practices.
In baseball, there are hitters who want
a batting practice pitcher to throw every
pitch over the plate, so that he can make
contact every time, groove his move. On
the other hand, top hitters know their
weaknesses, or at least what they will see
most of from the pitcher they are about to
face, and will ask the BP chunker to put
the ball in a certain place, or to follow a
pattern of in-and-out, etc., that he will see
in a game.
“Some first teamers don’t want it the
hard way in practice,” said a head coach.
“They might tap the scout teamer be
tween the plays and say, ‘Hey, this isn’t
Saturday,’ or something like that. A tall
guy might not want a scout teamer scram
bling in his running gear, but that’s what a
tall guy is going to run into.
“We had one player who would say,
‘Whoa, that’s not the look’ I want. Fire at
me low, like so-and-so will do Saturday.’
“This type of thing by your seniors
makes you a better team on Saturday and
keeps the program on a high level the
year ’round.
“We do everything to get our scout
teamers to show ingredients of team play,
to carry out their roles, to give us the good
2.1 seconds it takes on most plays they
run. And we honor the two ‘Scout Team
ers of the Week’ throughout the year. ”
If they’re just cannon fodder, the pro
gram is zilch, or headed that way. If
they’re viewed as part of a winning ef
fort, they graduate into winners.

hadn’t started enacting rules banning
backs-in-motion as early as 1896.
Dave Nelson, University of Delaware
athletic director and chairman of the
NCAA Football Rules Committee, calls
that rule one of the most important in
football history.
“I know Canadian pro football still per
mits a back to be in motion toward the line
of scrimmage when the ball is snapped,”
he said, "but can you imagine what kind of
collisions we would have in college foot
ball today if a team could put a 280-pound
tackle at fullback, let him start running
full speed toward the line of scrimmage
and hand him the ball just before he got
there? With the speed and size of today’s
football players, we could expect a great
increase in the number of injuries.
“The 1896 rule change specified that
only one man could be in motion when
the ball was snapped, and he could not be
moving toward the line of scrimmage.
Without that rule, we would have flying
wedges, revolving tandems and all sorts
of dangerous shifts and formations.”
Have you ever wondered about offen
sive backfield shifts? Why are various
backs and flankers jumping around just
before the ball is snapped? Are they hav
ing trouble finding the spot the coaches
specified? Is the quarterback changing
his signals to confuse the defense? When
did backfield shifts start, and what is
their purpose?
Among those who have written about
shifts was John W. Heisman, after whom
college football’s most coveted trophy is
named. Heisman coached successfully at
Georgia Tech and Penn. His writings re
veal that he was in many ways an unusual
man. Indeed, among the things he
preached to his players was to avoid tak
ing showers—especially hot showers—as
he said this tended to debilitate an athlete.
Not many of Heisman’s players got invited
to sorority dances after their games.
“It is clear that the men should all be
moved simultaneously and with as great
speed as possible,” Heisman wrote in a
1922 book that discussed shifts, “and af
ter such preliminary move has been exe
cuted and completed that the ball shall be
put in play immediately, else the defense
will be able to shift reinforcements to the
threatened spot in time to nullify the ad
vantage gained by the offense in a pre
concerted and well executed shift.”
Heisman and Doc Williams, of Minne
sota, were among the first to really ex
ploit the shift. Later Knute Rockne devel
oped the fantous “Notre Dame Shift” so
well that it helped his last two teams to go
unbeaten in 1929 and ’30. Rockne was
killed in a plane crash the following sum
mer.
Nelson lists the following seasons as

Coach John W. Heisman was one of the first to use the shift.
ones in which important rule changes
were made regarding shifts:
1896—The rule limiting one man in
motion.
1914—It became illegal to shift through
the neutral zone.
1922—A full stop—a standstill—was or
dered after a shift.
1924—Absolute stop—no movement.
1927—Full-second stop.
1942—It became a foul to draw a charge
with a false start on a shift.
1954—Sucker shifts were prohibited by
the American Football Coaches Associa
tion. These simulated the start of a play,
causing the defense to jump offside.
1983—The sucker shift is back. Some
teams are employing it in shifts in or out
of punt formation.
The primary purpose of the backfield
shift, of course, is to move one or more
backs to positions other than those where
they originally lined up. It provides
strength at an unexpected spot, giving the
defense fresh problems of handling the
deception and momentum. However, a
shift may not simulate the start of a play.
Some coaches feel that using shifts
is a matter of necessity for teams whose
players aren’t as good as the opposition.
“My staff and I have had to come up
with ways to trick the defenses, to shift
backs quickly to concentrate our
strengths on unexpected places,” said a
major college coach. “I don’t think we
could have achieved much offensively
without widespread use of shifts.”
In explaining what his offense does
with the shift, the coach continued:
“We are going to force our opponents to
defend the entire width of the football
field by spreading our offensive forma
tions. We are going to utilize five eligible

receivers on pass plays, and sometimes
six when the quarterback is a receiver.
Everyone on the team is a potential ball
carrier for running plays. Our passing at
tack utilizes option-type pass routes dic
tated by defensive alignment and move
ment.
"... We try to minimize the defensive
possibilities by utilizing formations,
movement and motion on offense. Our
audible system is very helpful in elimi
nating bad plays and assisting our quar
terback in maintaining the consistency
to move the football. We are truly a
multiple-offense team.”
What’s an audible? That’s when the
quarterback notices something in the
other team’s defense that wasn’t apparent
when the play was called originally in the
huddle. So he audibly calls out coded in
let
formation to change the signal to some
thing with a better chance of working.
That’s another reason you may see offen
sive backs jumping to new positions just
before the ball is snapped.
One successful offensive coordinator
lists these 11 reasons for using shifts:
1. To create defensive adjustments
which best allow execution of the most
basic phases of an offense.
2. To dictate (by formation, motion or
shifting) defensive alignments and cov
erages.
3. To force opponents into a balanced
and base defense.
4. To force additional and lengthy
weekly preparation by opponents on
alignments and adjustments, leaving
them less time to spend in repetition and
execution.
5. To limit defensive pressure.
6. To break defensive concentration.
7. To create defensive confusion and
communication problems by defensive
signal callers.
8. To break set tendency keys.
9. To eliminate bump-and-run or double
coverage on wide receivers.
10. To eliminate flip-flopping of de
fensive personnel, often creating a player
mismatch.
11. To provide an exciting style of play
for both players and fans.
Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne had some
sound advice for using the shift. You
might say one of his recommendations
was "get there fustest with the mostest,”
and the other was the now-famous KISS
system (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Anyway,
the Rock wrote this way about the two
ideas:
"The idea of the shift is to attempt to get
more men of the offense to a given spot
than the defense can muster in the short
time allotted it. The essence of offense is
to get there first with the most men; the
shift is a big adjunct to this.
"It is best to keep your shift formations
just as simple as possible. It is possible, of
course, to work up complex offensive
shifts, but as a rule the coach using these
spends so much time practicing the shift
that his team is weak on tackling and
blocking, and is beaten because of these
weaknesses. And besides, in these days of
intensive scouting, we cannot fool the de
fensive team as we would like to.”
One wonders what Rockne would add
to that if he were alive now.
One also can speculate what college
football would be like today if backfield
shifts weren't limited by rule, and if there
were no restrictions against backs-inmotion (outlawed by that 1896 rule).
Almost certainly there would have been
strong cries for eliminating the game
completely—even stronger than there
were in 1905, when 18 players died and
159 more were seriously injured because
of football. That was when President
Wheeler of the University of California
sent a telegram to football officials: "The
game of football must be entirely made
over or go.”
It also was the time when U.S. President
Teddy Roosevelt, in mid-season, called
representatives of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton to the White House and told
them it was up to them to save the sport
by removing every objectionable feature.
"Brutality and foul play should receive
the same summary punishment given to
the man who cheats at cards,” President
Roosevelt said.
So down with brutality and foul play,
and up with the deception and finesse
provided by such things as shifts!

screening rooms across the country
coaches were discovering that what they
thought they saw Saturday afternoon
bore little or no resemblance to the actual
game. ‘And I thought he had a sensational
game,” they were heard to mutter, the
film showing the missed block, the blown
coverage, the loaf on the field opposite

“A coach is easily fooled on the side

and when you’re watching the action at
their level, with the emotion of the, game
all around you, it’s easy to imagine the big

The films and the grading often show
otherwise. “We had a defensive back, a
flamboyant player if there ever was one,”
remembers the coach. "He made two big
interceptions in our most important game
and we thought he had a terrific game,
even if we did lose. When we graded him

ing to cover up for the other guy.”
The grades offer the opportunity for
self-correction to these coaches. An assis
tant coach says, “When you’re coaching
your own guy,you sometimes get a little
protective. You want him to look good.
And then the head coach comes and says,
‘Hey, your guy's not playing too well.’ You
tell him he is. And then we go to the
grades and there’s the hard reality.”
But even grades, the hard numbers, can
fool you. Although the coaches put more
faith in their Sunday afternoon grades
than their Saturday afternoon gut feel
ings, they know too that the grading is
very subjective. Just because something
can be reduced to statistics, that doesn’t
mean it’s objective.
"It’s very subjective,” a coach says. “Af
ter all, there’s no way to quantify every
thing absolutely.” There are many ingre
dients in a play that just can’t be assigned
a number. Courage, determination—
there’s a reason they’re called intan
gibles. But even beyond that, it’s ex
good player? “When you’ve got two AllAmerica linemen opposite each other, it’s
impossible to grade them,” he says. “The
offensive coach might grade his player
out at 60 percent. And yet the defensive
coach might also grade his out at 60 per
cent. Very subjective.”
However, some organizations, the ones
that recognize just how subjective this
grading can be, have even gone so far as
to try to quantify the subjectivity. When
pro scouts come in to evaluate a player,
that scout’s previous grading is taken into
consideration. Does he grade high, low?
His final tally is multiplied by a factor of
his subjectivity. Football may be a game of
inches to some people; to the coaches, it’s
a game of numbers.
A lot of football, though, can be boiled
down to numbers. A lot of the plays can
be graded conclusively. Some coaches
simply grade out the players on the basis
of their assignments. Did he carry it out
or attempt it? Or did he try to block the
wrong man? It’s a simple pass/fail every

tremely difficult for any two coaches to
decide on whether a player completed his
assignment successfully or not.
How do you grade a pass rusher, for ex
ample? You might say he completed his
play, successfully only if he tackled the
quarterback before he unloaded the ball.
But what if hfe pressured him into throw
ing a bad pass? What if he simply pres
sured him, regardless of the pass the
quarterback got off? And how do you
grade a really good player who happens
to be lining up across from another really
play in that system and it’s easy to come
up with a number. Some coaches factor in
technique. Was his technique good or bad
on each play? “So a guy’s in 30 plays,” the
coach explains, “and his technique is right
24 times, that’s 80 percent. If he gets the
assignment right 29 times, that’s a 96.
That way we can tell if he’s doing what he
should within the system. Also, if a guy
grades out a winner in technique, but
grades lower in assignments, well, that
tells us he’s not concentrating. He’s doing
enough physically, but not mentally. And
vice versa.”
Sometimes the individual scores are
posted but most often they are not.
Rather, the coach will announce them
during the screening with the assembled
team. Either way, the coach is counting on
a little peer pressure.
Other times the coaches post the scores
for an entire unit, the defensive line, the
offensive backfield.
There are still other systems of grading,
systems so complicated the grades
couldn’t be posted any place but the halls
of the Library of Congress. A coach, in
addition to grading for technique and as
signment, might also decide to grade the
player’s effort. He may give pluses and mi
nuses for such a quality.
And, of course, different positions are
graded differently. An offensive tackle
might only be considered in terms of as
signment, technique and effort. But a
quarterback is graded on everything
from getting his team out of the huddle, to
handoff execution, to his reading of the
defense. He is not graded according to the
completion for each throw. Rather, he
may be graded according to whether he
completes a certain percentage of them—
60percent is success, 59 percent is failure
in that category.
And running backs are also difficult to
grade, especially since they are so de
pendent on their linemen for their yard
age. They have to complete their assign
ment, perform with good technique and,
in addition, try to reach an arbitrary goal,
say four yards.
Some coaches get even more involved
with the grading. During the screening
with the team, a coach may end up giving
not just grades, but bonus points or re
wards for a fumble recovery or a big play.
Sometimes these sessions sound like an
end of the season banquet. Or maybe an
end of the career roast.
“It all depends on your emphasis,” the
coach says. “You may be using the grades
to keep track of a certain player, whether
he’s loafing or not playing, according to
your scheme. Is he popping up on certain
plays because he’s doing something ex
tremely well or because the scheme dic
tates that? You may be using the grades to
motivate. If one player grades out at 55
percent, and you’re getting by with him,
well, it may not be because he’s getting
beat but just that he hasnt been in with
anybody. Is he an underachiever who just
makes the big play? A low grade may
motivate him. Or you may be using them
to see where one player is in relation to
another.”
The coach goes on. “The other thing
grades give a coach,” he says, chuckling,
“is some more figures to work with.
Where would we be without our num
bers?”

ootball strategies get so intricate
the man in the stands cant begin to
follow them. An off-tackle run, the
most basic of plays, can be diagrammed
by coaches a dozen different ways with
complicated blocking schemes that force
equal variety in the defense attacking it.
In the stands, it still looks like an offtackle play.
All those interior plays—fundamental
to offensive performance and crucial
when short yardage must be pried out on
third or fourth down or at the goal line—
are accepted in the bleachers as the meat
and potatoes of the sport.
The dessert is the bomb.
Any play that winds up with the ball in
the air takes on an allure because of the
very factor that once made passing such a
collegiate anathema. Sure, three things
can happen when a pass is thrown and
two are bad. One is so sensationally re
warding it’s worth all the risk—when the
pass is long and deep, the classic "bomh.”
The passers down through the ages,
starting with Gus Dorais and the game
reshaping connections he made with
Knute Rockne for Notre Dame against
Army 70 years ago, made their names for
touchdown throws, not for outlet tosses.
In the college game, the long-range
passer became an endangered species in
the 1970s. The spotlight was on the tail

and scan far downf ield to pick out targets
seemed passe. There was no room in the
game any more for a strictly dropback
passer, the conventional wisdom went.
Professionals continued to draft with
different priorities than college coaches
recruited. But even in the pro game, the
kind of throws that Johnny Unitas
popularized—and Don Hutson pulled in,
years before Unitas was born—moved
into the background.
At all levels of the game, the thinking
was that defenses had defused the bomb.
Zone coverages and more sophisticated
pass-rush techniques were too much for
an arm and swift legs to counter, the
game's statistics said.
In'l964, Jerry Rhome and Howard Twilley played pitch-and-catch, old-style, for
Tulsa. Rhomedefied that two-out-ofthree-are-bad theory by throwing for 32
touchdowns with only four interceptions.
They hadn’t invented anything like a pass
ing efficiency formula then, but when
24t
^^Passers down through

names with touchdown
throws, not with outlet
tosses.^^
they did, they looked back and found that
what Rhome did that year was the most
efficient passing anyone of any era ever
had managed—on anywhere near that
volume, anyway.
Rhome’s 1964 season graded out to
172.6, and no one else really was even
close. The next-best figure for one of the
recognized national passing champions
was 161.7—by wee Davey O’Brien of
Texas Christian in 1938.
Twilley was Rhome’s main target and
the national receiving leader. He caught
95 passes, 13 of them for touchdowns.
In 1975, the national pass-catching
leader was Bob Farnham of Brown, with
56 receptions in nine games. Two went
for touchdowns. The national leader in
1981, Pete Harvey of North Texas State,
caught three for touchdowns.
That touches on a whole separate argu
ment. Colleges are grading their receivers
with the wrong kind of yardstick. It’s as
sensible to pick the national receiving
leader by average number of receptions
per game as it would be to say the national
rushing leader is the man who has the
most carries. Productivity is the key, and
the receiver who averages the most yards
continued
continued
per game is the national pace-setter—to
everyone but the statisticians. Last year,
that would have been Henry Ellard, who
averaged 137.3 yards per game with his
62 catches for 1,510 yards for Fresno
State. The NCAA ranked him only No. 5 in
the nation for his 5.6 catches per game,
although national leader Vincent White of
Stanford (6.8 catches per game) produced
less than half the yards that Ellard did
(677, or 67.7 per game, or less than 10
yards per catch, compared to Ellard’s
24.4).
However, there was an Ellard, and
there were bombs again. It’s all there in
the numbers.
Rhome himself says numbers are the
whole story: There are more passes,
therefore there are more long passes.
Rhome makes his living now as the
quarterback coach for the Super Bowl
champion Washington Redskins, which
means he keeps a close eye on pro and
college trends—ever-mindful of the an-

the classic ^bombi”
nual draft.
“I think the bomb has always been
there,” he said. "But the ball is being
thrown more now. You can’t just throw
short passes.
"We all went through the period with
two-deep safeties, which makes it tough
to throw the bomb. That made it easier to
throw the 20- and 25-yard passes, so now
they’ve changed to take that way and the
long ball can be thrown.
"Does that mean the bomb is back? I
can’t predict the future. The situation dic
tates what you do. Things change.”
The man whose thinking on the passing
game is having an increasing effect on
both college and professional football. Bill
Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers, also
goes to the numbers to say "the long pass
is definitely a big factor in football.
"Look at the average per attempt. When
it’s above 7.5, you’re completing some
‘bombs.’ Any time the average gets in the
high sevens and low eights, that’s what
you’re doing.”
The most efficient passer in college
football last year, Tom Ramsey of UCLA,
averaged 9.08yards per pass.

John Elway of Stanford averaged an
even 8.00, and Duke’s Ben Bennett, leader
among the prolific passers returning this
year, averaged 8.11 yards every time he
put the ball in the air.
Ramsey hit for 21 touchdowns; Elway,
24; Bennett, 20. The bombs were flying,
from West Coast to East.
There even are signs that already the
college game is working to counter the
new influence.
"I love to throw it long,” said a major
college coach known for his leanings to
wards the passing game.
“But last year, we had a top passing
quarterback and we ran into so many de
fenses that had decided, ‘We’ll just give
him a whole bunch of short ones,’ we had
to go away from the long throw.
"In fact, we went so much the other
way, people started questioning whether
our QB really had a good arm.
Michigan’s Anthony Carter was dangerous catching bombs or passes underneath coverage
with room to maneuver.
“For some people the bomb is coming
back, but not for us last year. Now, this
year, we'll have a new quarterback, and
maybe our opponents will give us some
room.
“It is tougher to throw the bomb in col
lege than in the pros. You can bang the
receivers around a lot more under the
rules we have right now.”
However, another trend of the modern
game is toward getting better and better
athletes at the wide receiver spots. Some
of the best ballcarriers in the college
game now, trim and swift athletes who
might have been spot-duty running backs
and kick-return specialists when every
one was running I-formation or Wish
bone offenses, are showing their skills af
ter they catch passes now—or in eluding
defenses to get open for bombs.
More and more colleges have been
putting trackmen at the wide spots. Ten
nessee has done it for years, and last year,
the Vols had the only two world-ranked
track athletes who (1) played majorcollege football and (2) were taken in the
NFL draft. Willie Gault, who went :10.10
in the 100 meters and :13.26 in the high
hurdles, and Mike Miller, whose sprint
times were :10.11 and :20.15, were the two
Vols, and they were football regulars, not
trackmen who were listed on the football
roster.
Remember Ellard? He was a 25-foot
long jumper and 54-foot triple jumper for
Fresno State, bespeaking both speed and
agility. And there are a host of others.
The beauty of the bomb is that hitting
one forces a respect for it from every op
ponent the rest of the year. Maybe even
longer. Former Michigan receiver An
thony Carter had Wolverine opponents
terrified from the moment he electrified
a typical 100,000-plus Michigan Stadium
crowd with a breakaway touchdown
catch at the gun to win a game against In
diana his freshman year.
With Carter, there remained ever after
the “bomb” threat, but he represented the
new athlete at the spot, the man equally
dangerous when allowed to cut in front of
deep defenders and catch the football in
an area requiring an open-field tackle.
The artistry of the game once repre
sented by Red Grange, or Glenn Davis, or
Herman Wedemeyer, or any of the other
“swivel-hipped” broken-field runners of
yore now may be coming back with the
wide-outs.
Grange, after all, was 5-10 and 170.
What a wide-out he’d have been!

MEET
THE PUNTER
jby A, J. Carr, Raleigh News-Observer
n a game where teamwork is con
stantly practiced and preached, the
punter is a staunch individualist.
He stands around a lot, watching and
waiting. He often works out at the “other
end” of the field. And when he does go
into the game, he lines up about 15 yards
behind everybody else.
His actual playing time on Saturday af
ternoon might be 60 seconds or less.
But regardless of the jokes about kick
ers being different, the punter is an inte
gral part of any team. Games are some
times won, or lost, by the flick of a foot.
His performance can eject his team
from a deep hole and put his opponents
into one, creating a sudden, significant
switch in field position, emotional edge or
I
momentum.
“Every time we punt, we see it as a pos
sible 40-45 yard gain,” said one coach.
Like shopping at a variety shoe store,
coaches find punters in different shapes,
sizes and styles.
The prototype would probably be tall
and slender with excellent body flex
ibility, plus an ability to kick for distance
and height and enough hang-time to allow
linemen to circle under a receiver.
“But the worst thing you can do is clone
punters, make them all kick the same
way,” said the coach. “I pay more attention
to results.”
To get results, a punter’s head can be as
important as his foot.
“A guy has to have a stable personality,”
the coach continued. “From a conformity
standpoint, I do look for personality and
attitude.
“There are a lot of players who kick far
that don’t turn out as punters because
they dont have good work habits or a
good attitude. I also want a guy who con
siders himself to be a football player, not
just a punter. I want him to think he is
punting because no one else on the team
does it better than he does.”
Some start punting, just for kicks, in
back yards or fool around before prac
tice. Others take the methodical route
through youth Punt, Pass and Kick
contests.
continued
PUNTER
One noted southern punter kicked only
twice in his high school career because
another player had a stronger foot. But
once in college he made all-conference by
booming the ball.
But regardless of how punters start
kicking or what their style is, all of these
specialists have to deal with the psychol
ogy and pressure of a delicate job. And no
matter how many times they swing their
foot, they cant completely kick those ele
ments away.
"You’ve got to be ready mentally as well
as physically,” said one hooter. "Before I
go out for each punt, I think positive, pic
ture myself making a good kick (some call
this psycho-cybernetics).”
Still, insidious, negative thoughts pene
trate their consciousness at times.
They worry about the wind, wonder if
the snap from center will be good, or if
some menacing defensive lineman will
blitz through and block the kick or maybe
force them to run for their life.
One of the nation’s premier punters viv
idly remembers when, in a crucial mo
ment of a crucial game, he kicked into a
35-mile per hour wind and saw the ball
flutter to the turf four yards beyond the
line of scrimmage.
He felt like hiding in the huddle.
"You put a lot of pressure on yourself,”
said the punter. "You want to make each
kick your best. Also, you think about peo
ple in the stands. If you dont get a good
one off, everybody boos you.”
A former standout college punter now
playing pro football equates the pressure
a kicker feels to that of a pinch-hitter in
baseball.
"You dont get into the flow of the game
as a pinch-hitter or punter,” he said. "And
when you kick, it’s sort of a one-shot deal.
When you miss a punt, that’s it. It’s hard to
make up for a mistake. There is a pre
mium on evpry kick.”
Punters dont simply drop back and
punt. Different situations demand certain
types of kicks; a short, angle shot to the
coffin-corner; high and deep; short and
high inside the 20, etc.
30t
The pressure on a punter Is similar to that
felt by a pInch-hItter In baseball.
For that reason, a punter’s average
doesnt always serve as an accurate ba
rometer for measuring his success.
To master these diverse touches, one
kicker figured he booted between 100150 punts per day in practice, until he
started saving his leg for later in the
week.
Though there is enough for the punter
to concentrate on during idle moments on
the sidelines, his mind is still apt to wan
der, especially with all the distractions at
a college football game.
A couple of punters confessed to girl
watching while standing on the sidelines.
Both could rank their opponents’ best
looking cheerleaders.
"But I don’t want the coach to catch me
(looking),” said one. "He’d get on my case.”
Kickers also have their quirks. One suc
cessful punter has worn the same shoe
for four straight years and doesnt plan to
change any time soon.
Others boot ’em barefooted to get a
better "feel” for the ball.
Some try to combine the talents of
placekicking and punting, but one said
kicking off the tee "messed up” his punt
ing due to a difference in technique.
Regardless, kickers find that some
people still get a big kick out of poking fun
at them.
A witty coach once cracked that if he
died, he would like to be reincarnated as a
placekicker because they have such an
easy lifestyle.
"People kid us,” said one talented
punter. "But that doesn’t matter. We are
just as much a part of the team as they
(other players) are.”
This punter runs wind sprints, lifts
weights, does stretching exercises and
attempts to perform many of the same
duties as the regular players.
"Punters dont have to be particularly
strong,” he said. "But strength and quick
ness could be important. You might need
to tackle somebody one day.”
Indeed, punters are sometimes the only
defender between the return man and
the goal line. And on occasion, they are
forced to pick up a bad snap and scramble
like a tailback, or fake a kick and go for it.
But it’s during these suspenseful mo
ments that coaches almost flip over their
clipboards.
Punters also have been known to put on
"Hollywood” acts. They fall purposefully
after booming the ball, pretending to
have been roughed by a big, tough
rusher.
Sorry guys, no more Academy Awards
for you.
A new rule in the 1983 season will per
mit the official to throw an unsportsman
like conduct flag against the punter who
tries such a trick.
Punters must earn their praise by punt
ing. And outstanding ones abound
throughout the nation.
The arm might be awesome in the cur
rent passing craze of college football, but
the foot is still formidable and the punter
very important.
Just ask any coach facing a fourth and
long on his own 20.

DICKKAZMAIER
All-America & Heisman Trophy Wiimer by Jay Dunn, Trentonian
To Dick Kazmaier the 1951 Heis
man Trophy was no big deal.
When he was presented the tro
phy his reaction was little more than a po
lite shrug. He gave the hardware to his
father, who in turn donated it to Prince
ton University.
A few weeks later Michigan State quar
terback Al Dorow, who was Kazmaier’s
teammate in the East-West Shrine Game,
proclaimed that Kazmaier could not have
made the Spartan team and surely did not
deserve the Heisman.
Kazmaier as much as shrugged again.
"That was his opinion,” he said years later.
“He’s entitled to that.”
The sort of thing to which Kazmaier did
react was a newspaper article written by
Joe Knack, sports editor of the Toledo
(Ohio) Blade. Knack, who was familiar
with the high-powered football programs
in the Big Ten, made the trip to Princeton
to do a story on the Maumee, Ohio, young
ster who was causing a weekly frenzy at
Old Nassau. When he finally caught up to
the campus legend he found him working
at his part-time job—driving a laundry
truck.
Knack was flabbergasted. So were his
readers when they read his story.
"That one (article) I particularly appre
ciated,” Kazmaier remembers.
The story of Richard William Kazmaier,
Jr. is much more than the story of a man
who was extremely gifted at running
with and throwing a football. It is the
story of a man who chose to manifest
these gifts in an academic atmosphere
that was quite foreign to the decades
which spawned many post-war Heisman
Trophy winners.
It could be argued that his Heisman was
a product of the times, but that would un
fairly diminish his accomplishments on
the gridiron.

advised:
a) “I’ve heard of hungry teams before, but this is
ridiculous.”
b) “Why don’t you schedule them on Fridays?”
c) “At halftime, drench yourselves in tabasco
sauce.”
d) “Tell them they really shouldn’t eat people with
out red wine.”
T) Former Michigan coach Fielding “Hurry Up” Yost,
at the end of a particularly fiery halftime speech,
implored his charges to “run through that door,
and run through that opponent on the field.” Yost’s
team eagerly obeyed and rushed the door. Un
happily,
a) the six-inch thick steel door was locked shut at
the time.
b) the Michigan locker room was on the second
floor.
c) the door Yost pointed to led right into the swim
ming pool.
d) the starting wingback broke his leg in the stam
pede.
8) When asked why he gave up coaching USG to run a
ranch, Jeff Gravath said:
a) “Gattle don’t have alumni.”
b) “Gattle are smarter than football players.”
c) “Gattle taste better than football players when
barbecued.”
d) “Gattle are easier to recruit.”
B) According to rival Goach Paul Amen, former North
Garolina coach Jim Tatum used to take recruits into
the woods. Those who ran around the trees, he
made ends and backs. For linemen. Amen joked,
Tatum selected:
a) those who punched the trees.
b) those who bit the trees.
c) those who uprooted the trees and flicked them
aside.
d) those who ran into the trees.
lO) A Texas lineman forgot three consecutive plays
during a practice. When his exasperated coach
asked, “What’s your IQ anyway?”, the player re
sponded:
a) “The square root of two.”
b) “20-30.”
c) “My parents said it would be best if I didn’t
know.”
d) “Lower than my jersey number.”

been rocked by two scandals—one that
cut the heart out of Army’s football team
and another involving point-shaving in
basketball, which nearly ruined that
sport. Academicians were crying out
with increasing alarm about “football
factories."
Into this atmosphere came Kaz, playing
at a university where football was re
garded as little more than an extra
curricular activity with grandstands. On
one fateful day during his junior year Kaz
received notification from the Associated
Press that he had been chosen All-Amer
ica and notification from Princeton Uni
versity that his scholarship had been sus
pended because his grade-average was .2
below the figure required for a student to
be eligible for financial aid.
The nation’s media, weary of reporting
scandals, flocked to Princeton and Kaz
maier. Time even made him its cover
story, pointing out in the lead paragraph
the differences between Princeton’s ap
proach to the game and that of schools
utilizing "huge hired hands taking snap
courses .. .”
Perhaps the electors would have
flocked to him on the flimsiest of pre
tenses. We’ll never know. The season he
had was solid Heisman.
Kaz was one of the last great single wing
tailbacks. In 1951 he led the nation in total
offense, rolling up 966 yards through the
air and 861 on the ground. He did this de
spite the fact that he frequently did not
play in the second half. Coach Charlie
Caldwell had such an aversion to running
up a score that Kaz’s back-ups combined
for more playing time than he received.
He completed 62.6 percent of his passes
and concluded his career with a threeyear figure of 59.5, which at the time was
an NCAA record.
Despite the fact that he had made it
clear he was not interested in profes
sional football, he was drafted by the Chi
cago Bears. Even the usually persuasive
George Halas could not talk him into
changing his mind and joining the NFL.
Instead Kaz enrolled in the Harvard Busi
ness School.
Admittedly, in 1952 Harvard Business
School graduates generally commanded
larger salaries than professional athletes,
but there was more to the decision than
that.
"I didn’t think I wanted another experi
ence in athletics, ” Kazmaier said, “when
I’d just had the best you could find. ”
He didLnot, however, forsake the game
he loves. Today he is not only president of
his own enterprise, Kazmaier Associates,
but also finds time to serve as chairman of
the National Football Association.
Kaz had been a successful T-quarterback in high school and received more
38t
In Princeton’s exciting victory over Cornell in ’51, Kaz dominated the game with his offensive
performance.
than 20 offers of athletic scholarships
when he graduated. But, heeding the ad
vice of his father, he spurned all of them
when he was accepted at Princeton. Iron
ically, it took the Tigers more than two
years to realize what they had.
The admissions officer who recom
mended Kazmaier be accepted did so
with the notation: “Fine boy. Excellent
record. Has played football and other
sports in high school but too small to play
college football.”
That was also the view of the Tiger
coaching staff, even after Kaz filled out to
carry 171 pounds on his 5-11 frame. He
was a defensive back on the freshman
team for a time before convincing the
coaches to shift him to offense.
The single-wing, however, was never
designed for the light, quick back. When
Kaz reached varsity level as a sophomore,
Caldwell soon recognized his talents but
continued to believe the youngster was
too frail to play the position full time.
He changed his mind a year later and
the result was astounding. The 1950 Ti
gers rolled to a 9-0 record, won the Lam
bert Trophy and were ranked sixth na
tionally by the AP. A year after Kaz had a
less talented supporting cast, but Prince
ton repeated that feat. No one could fig
ure out how to stop the tailback, es
pecially on the running pass—the
single-wing equivalent to a quarterback
rollout.
“He whipsawed people to death with it,”
remembered Dick Colman, who was an
assistant coach at the time. “He was such a
great runner and great passer. If they
dropped back to cover his passes, he’d
run. If they stayed up, he’d throw over
them.”
Kaz was never better than on the after
noon of October 27 when Princeton tan
gled with Cornell in a battle of unbeaten
powers that drew national attention. In
stead of a classic showdown, the 49,000
fans witnessed a classic show. Princeton
annihilated the Big Red, 53-15, with Kaz
accounting for more than 70 percent of
the offense. He ran for 154 yards and
passed for 206, completing 15 of 17 at
tempts.
It was the sort of performance that
made a lasting impression on anyone who
saw it, including Boston Globe sports edi
tor Jerry Nason. Years later Nason wrote:
I had observed Cagle and Booth, Blan
chard and Davis, the magnificent Clint
Frank, Bertelli at his best, Gilmer, Sinkwich, Harmon—but never Grange—yet
Kazmaier of October 27, 1951, stands
more sharply etched against the back
drop of time than any. Possibly never in
the history of intercollegiate football
had one player so conclusively imposed
his will upon an outstanding opponent
as Kaz did that afternoon.
That game, more than any other,
brought Kaz the Heisman. But, in typical
fashion, Dick is much more proud of his
play seven days later when Princeton de
feated a rugged Brown team, 12-0, in mud
and snow.
“I had to work extra hard that day,” he
explained. “The game was played in im
possible conditions. The weather took
our running pass and outside game away.
We had to go in a straight line.”
You’d never convince Brown that wasn’t
Kaz’s preference. He rambled for 262
yards and scored both touchdowns.
Not even Mother Nature could find a
way to stop Dick Kazmaier.

CREEHAN BUILDS A NATIONAL CONTENDER
Head Coach - Denny Creehan
Edinboro embarked on a new era of football four years
ago with the appointment of Dennis Creehan as the ninth
head football coach in the University's history. Under his
leadership the Fighting Scots raced to one of Edinboro's
finest grid seasons ever this past year with a glittering 9-2
record, the Pennsylvania Conference Western Division
Championship and a 12th place national ranking among
NCAA Division II schools throughout the country.
Enroute to their highly successful campaign the Scots
figured in 20 team and individual records which were
either ^^ed or broken. Twelve new marks were established
while eight other records were tied. The Scots offense
finished in high gear averaging 26.7 points per game while
a stingy defensive unit yielded only 10 points per contest.
Edinboro was ranked eighth nationally during the year
before dropping a tightly contested 24-22 clash with East
Stroudsburg for the Pennsylvania Conference Champion
ship.
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro State's 1970 team
that captured the Lambert Bowl, emblematic of the best

college football team in the East, won the Pennsylvania
Conference Championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs. He starred in the secondary as a strong
safety that season when the Fighting Scots finished their
regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 record.
Prior to a three-year stint on the Edinboro staff as an
assistant, Creehan served as recruiting coordinator at the
University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under Coach Johnny
Majors. The following year ho was a member of the
Carnegie-Mellon University football staff as the team's
offensive coordinator.
Upon graduation from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan was
named offensive coordinator at Keystone Oaks High School
in Pittsburgh where he directed an offense that netted 300
yards per game. A year later as Keystone Oaks' defensive
coordinator, he tutored a unit that allowed only eight points
per game and permitted only a 33 percent completion mark
by opposing quarterbacks.
Creehan distinguished himself in the coaching ranks
as defensive coordinator at Edinboro in 1976 when the
Scots were ranked fourth among the nation's NCAA
schools in rushing defense and claimed 18 interceptions.
In the spring of 1977, he performed as acting head coach
for Edinboro's Bill McDonald who was on a sabbatical
leave.
The young mentor has likewise had an outstanding
athletic career as a football player. After starring as both a
halfback and strong safety at Bethel Park High School, the
Castle Shannon, Pa., native accumulated numerous grid
iron honors at Edinboro. At the conclusion of his senior
campaign for the Fighting Scots, he was accorded first
team All-East honors by the ECAC and first team All-State
Associated Press accolades as the Scots' strong safety. In
addition, ho was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District
first team and to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad. He
was one of the three 1970 captains who accepted Edin
boro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert Awards
Banquet in New York City.
The 33-year-old coach's .575 winning percentage
record via his four-year total of 23-16-1 moved him to
second place in the win category behind his previous head
coach Bill McDonald who holds a .614 rating with a 54-34-7
mark.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel Park,
the Fighting Scot coach resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and Casey.

CIMARRON '84
THIS ONE'S GOT THE TOUCH
The Cadillac touch. It's everywhere. You can feel it when you put
Cadillac's road-hugging Touring Suspension to the test. You can see it
... inside and out. From leather-faced front buckets with lumbar support
to a hand-buffed exterior finish. It's attention to detail, too.
Like push-button air. And aluminum alloy wheels. You've got to drive
this car... and experience the Cadillac touch. Cimarron '84.
BEST OF ALL... IT'S A CADILLAC.
Let's Get It Together... Buckle Up.

THE
TWO-QUARTERBACK
SYSTEM
by Bob Payne, The Tacoma News Tribune
You might think one of college
football's leading exponents of
the two-quarterback system,
now a coach, would be revealed as an old
quarterback-hater. A defensive end, may
be. A jealous offensive guard, at least.
Not so. Turns out he was a quarterback
himself, and if this means he must turn in
his union card, so be it.
“I’ve tried over the years not to get
caught in any syndrome. I don’t want to
be a ‘systems’ person,” he said.
“So, I’ve changed a lot. At one time, I
guess I was a real one-quarterback guy.
But now I’ve played with two and I believe
that if you commit to a two-quarterback
system, you’ll always find ways to play
two guys and the team will be better off.
"But,” he added, “I know I’m totally in
the minority on this.”
And, from the sound of other coaches,
he’ll stay there.
Said one coaching rival, “My philosophy
is to try to establish a quarterback early—
make him the guy you’re going to go with
until he proves you wrong.”
Another coach concurs. “I can see some
advantages to the two-quarterback sys
tem, but I think you have to make a com
mitment to a kid. I’ve always felt the quar
terback was such a key guy, you’ve got to
start grooming him from the first, to let
him know he’s your man.
“I know from my own experience how
important it is for a quarterback to know
the job is his. He needs that confidence.”
But even adamant opponents of the
two-quarterback system acknowledge
that it can work. One exponent claims,
continued
Proponents say one advantage of the two-quarterback system is
that while one leads the team on the field...
... the second remains “in the game” by coordinating with
coaches in the play selection process.

year when he went to a full twoquarterback system.
"People forget I grew up in the age of
one-platoon football,” he said. "When I
was in college, I not only had to play quar
terback, I had to play defense, too.
“Since everybody played both ways,
and you couldn’t go in but twice a quarter,
we had ‘platoons’ that went both ways. In
theory I’d play half the quarter and then
come off the field when the other team
came in. In reality, I ended up playing as
an alternating quarterback.
"Quarterbacks do have to be treated a
little differently, I agree on that,” con
tinued the coach. “But I disagree that you
have to decide on one early. Quarterbacks
by nature always want to be No. 1 —
neither will accept that he’s No. 2. In a
sense, I guess playing two quarterbacks
all the time keeps you from having to tell
one guy he’s No. 2.
"When a kid is in a two-quarterback sit
uation, he knows he’s going in—but he
also knows he’s coming out. He has that
security. He is convinced that he’s really
No.l.
“We went to this idea in a year when our
top two quarterbacks were guys of really
different talents. We decided to use both
of them—maybe because we couldn’t de
cide between them. But it worked. The
team had confidence that both of them
could lead.
"I don’t ever want to go back to the other
way.”
Most coaches see some value in using
quarterbacks of differing talents.
"In an option situation, I could see it,”
said one head coach. “I mean, if you get
’way behind, late, with an option offense,
then you’re going to want to go to your
passing quarterback, to take advantage of
his abilities.
"In our system, we throw the ball, so
we’re obviously going to go with the best
passer. Period.”
"One time, we had one kid who was an
excellent dropback, sprint-out type of
passer and another who was more of a
rollout, option type. In certain games,
against certain defenses, we could
change up and take advantage,” said a
two-quarterback coach.
"A team always reflects the personality
of its quarterback,” he continued, "and in
some cases, the abilities. Our two guys
were different in abilities—not as much
as people thought, but different. The im
portant thing was how the other teams
perceived them—one a drop-back passer,
the other an option, sprint-out type.
46t
Some coaches use quarterbacks of different talents in different situations.
“So when the sprint-out guy came in,
you’d see people widen their defense,
which is why he became an excellent
three-step dropback passer—everybody
on defense was playing ‘laterally.’ And the
dropback guy, because defenses would
fall off and look for him to throw, became
a better runner.
"As a result,” said the coach, "while
everybody was worrying about our quar
terbacks, our inside running game be
came better than it should have been—we
led the conference in rushing!
“We pursued two strengths and capital
ized on the different things people feared
in our two quarterbacks.”
How does a coach develop a strategy for
the two- quarterback system?
"I do think you do have to settle on who
is the starter—the prober—and who is
the off-the-bench guy. Otherwise,
though, we just sort of play it by ear,” said
one coach.
‘‘Of course, the guys are commu
nicating all the time. The one who’s not on
the field is beside me all the time.
"One of the good points about the sys
tem is that the second quarterback is with
you all the time, in on the play selection.
really in the game.”
“We work with two quarterbacks all the
time,” said another coach. "In practice our
No. 2 guy is going to be involved with the
first team one-third of the time.
“One year, late in the season, our No. 1
guy went down. The first team was al
ready used to working with the No. 2. In
fact, the team was really inspired to help
the backup succeed, so there was some
real excitement out there, a real pulling
together.”
Another coach pointed out, “This year’s
backup is next year’s starting quarter
back. Ideally, you bring along No. 2
slowly, play him when you can, maybe in
a tight spot once or twice, so he’ll be ready
either if No. 1 goes down or for the next
year.”
It appears, then, there really isn’t any
such thing as a "one-quarterback system.”
It’s just a matter of when, and how often,
the second gets to play.
Said the two-quarterback exponent, “I
just hate to see a quality kid standing on
the sidelines. All of us want to have at
least three quality quarterbacks in our
program, so why leave two of them
sitting?”

BEAR BRYANT
REMEMBERED
Coach Bryant axpectad Ms teams to win—
and they usually did.
By Alf Van Hoose
Birmingham News
Paul William Bryant, The Bear,
1913-1983.
A year ago, in the grand, glad
season of the year for the great campus
sport, he was living legend.
Today and tomorrow and tomorrow
he’s only legend. It’ll steadfastly grow.
Historians deep in the 21st Century may
not understand why this remarkable man
was for football’s ages.
He left no distinctive attack formation,
as did Knute Rockne, Pop Warner, Don
Faurot, Darrell Royal and Bill Yeoman. No
particular defense bears his name, nor
Alabama’s.
Bryant led no crusades, in athletics or
sociology. He championed no causes.
Yet... he left his footprints, giant ones,
in his profession, which was teaching
boys.
For the last 15 or 20 years of his busy,
busy life, Paul Bryant was America’s folk
hero, its Daniel Boone-Davy CrockettBuffalo Bill-Teddy Roosevelt-Alvin York
-young Charles Lindbergh-Will Rogerstype.
He recognized that. He loved it, but
didn’t have to change his hat size.
Charles Nesbitt’s story illustrates
Bryant’s fame afar.
Nesbitt is a Birmingham News photo
grapher. He vacations most summers in
the West, with his family, backpacking.
He was in Wyoming three years ago,
two days of hiking from the fringes of
so-called civilization. He and two sons
located a trout bonanza. The fun lasted
until the rocks of the mountain stream
claimed their last fishing flies.
The next morning, deeper into the wil
derness, they chanced on a rough cabin.
There was life in it, a grizzled old chap
who had to enjoy loneliness.
There was a chat, and an off-hand Nes
bitt question: “You dont happen to have
any fishing flies, do you. Mister?’’Yes, this
descendant of Kit Carson replied, and his
guests were welcome to a few.
Charity dispensed, the old man evi-
dently was curious. “Where you folks
from?” he asked.
"Alabama," Nesbitt answered.
"Alabama?” went an echoing reply,
"what’s Ole Bear gonna have this year?”
Bryant enjoyed hearing that story. He
enjoyed friends, not opponents, laughing
at him.
Little Rock attorney Ike Murray was a
Bryant teammate at Fordyce (Ark.) High.
They played on two state championship
teams. No man rivaled Murray in telling
Bryant teen-age stories:
"I met Bryant when he stumbled into
the seventh grade (the Bryant family of 14

lived six miles out of town, in an un
painted farm shack in Moro Bottom). I
mean stumbled—he was the awkwardest
country boy IVe ever known. Country? I
mean rural, real rural.
He wasn’t an Einstein in the classroom
either. If I’d been writing our senior class
prophecy, I would have guessed Bear
would wind up in the penitentiary.
“He winds up being a teacher. A dern
good one, too, right?”
Frank Howard, of Clemson fame, was a
Bryant coach at Alabama. The Bard of
Barlow Bend could raise welts on
Bryant’s rawhide skin.
“We got him a job cutting grass on the
campus," Howard tells it. ““It was three
weeks before he quit saying “gee,’ “haw’
and “whoa’ to the lawnmower.”
All-time blind golf champion Charley
Boswell could delightfully prick Bryant’s
ego about that ancient game.
““One day Bryant was having a normal
round—bad—and blaming clubs, course,
weather, balls, and finally the caddy.
““You are probably the worst caddy in
the world,” Bryant fumed.
The caddy replied he didn’t think so.
Bryant wanted to know why.
“‘That, Mr. Bear,” the caddy answered,
“would be too much of a coincidence.”
Through the years stories such as those
will attach themselves to the Bryant leg
end, as they did about Abe Lincoln. His
sayings will multiply as have those of Confucious.
Bryant facts are in stone. There was
substance to the American Dream he rep
resented, the poor farm boy who grew
and grew until he walked a mountain top
in his profession—323 coaching victor
ies—the college record.
Notre Dame’s Rockne was voted the out
standing coach of the 20th Century’s first
half. Bryant will be that man in the last
half.
The man behind those wins, as in
Rockne’s case, was more interesting than
the numbers his teams flicked on scoreboards.
All sorts of testimony is available on
Bryant’s personality and professionalism.
“A true American hero,” President Ron
ald Reagan declared in awarding the Pres
idential Medal of Freedom to Bryant’s
family a month after his January 26
death.
"American sports embody the best in
our national character: dedication, team
work, honor and friendship . . . Bear
Bryant gave his country the gift of a leg
end. In making the impossible seem easy,
he lived what we all strive to be.”
The six national championships his Ala
bama teams won formed prideful Bryant
memory. He loved mention of that feat—
but not as much as his reading the roll of
Bryant started as an Alabama end in 1934.
successes by his former players.
Paul Crane, All-America center, 1965,
now a Mobile businessman, said of Bryant
on January 27:
“I feel like all his players do. We have
lost a part of our foundation.
“'There are two phases of coaching.
There is the winning side, the records,
who won the most, who did the most.
““But there is another side, the re
lationship with young men, developing
young people. Outside people remember
Coach Bryant for football accomplish
ments but inside people remember him
for the other side of coaching.”
Bryant’s star began to twinkle as an Ala
bama sophomore end in 1933 under
Frank Thomas, head coach, a Notre Dame
quarterback when George Gipp played.
In 1934, on a Tide which won all, includ
ing a 29-13 Rose Bowl game against Stan
ford, Bryant was a starter on the end
opposite Don Hutson.
Bryant played most of his senior season
with what turned out to be a broken leg. It
hurt, but, so what.
He was four years assistant at Alabama,
then two years assistant head coach to
Red Sanders at Vanderbilt.
The day after Pearl Harbor he volun
teered into the Navy. There was some ship
duty, but mostly he was assigned coach
ing duty, at North Carolina and Georgia.
Maryland made him head coach in
1945. He quit the next spring, with a 6-2-1
record. Maryland president Curly Byrd
fired a Bryant assistant and reinstated a
Bryant-suspended player while the head
coach was off campus. The head coach
quit when he heard about that.
Kentucky hired him immediately. The
Wildcats had never won an SEC cham
pionship and had an 8-20-1 record the
three previous years.
The Wildcats immediately went 7-3,
the first time UK had won seven football
games in 34years.
Kentucky was 10-1 in 1950, SEC champ
and broke Oklahoma’s 51-game unbeaten
string in the Sugar Bowl, 13-7.
Bryant moved to Texas A&M in 1954,
starting with a 1-9 season, his only losing
year. Two years later the Aggies went
9-0-1.
Alabama called him back in 1958, to a
disaster situation. The Tide had ebbed to a
4-24-2 three-year record.
Bryant’s maiden year, Bama was 5-4-1.
It did not go to a bowl. All other Bryant
Tides did, 24 in a record row.
He marched on and on toward Amos
Alonzo Stagg’s 314-mark. He got there in
1982.
During the 1970s, Bryant teams won
103 games (around 16 losses and a tie).
That was a record, too.
Bryant coached 65 first-team AllAmericas, which is not a high. But the 46
former players or assistant coaches of his
who became head coaches in college or
pro competition is a high, all-time No. 1.
There’ll be others.
He never quit rising with the rooster,
nor going to bed with the owl. He could
never wind down, relax, do nothing.
He was a sucker for an invitation, from
a friend seeking a speaker; for a charity
needing a broad shoulder.
A dozen years before his death he en
dowed a $100,000 scholarship fund at
Alabama for non-football students. As
happily as a kid putting money in a piggybank, Bryant added to the pot each year.
The base figure now approaches a half
million bucks.
He could have run for governor in his
state, and won. He chose not to run.
His work ethics, discipline demands,
unselfishness of time and money, his in
sistence on “class,’ captured his state's
attention first, then the nation’s.
His pre-game ritual, hat over his eyes,
gun-fighting glint in his eyes, leaning
against a goal post, was pure theater.
Cameramen loved it.
His teams played as if hounds of hell
yipped at his heels. They seldom lost.
When they did, there was no alibi, no
blaming officials, nothing but praise for
the winner.
Bryant could coach. That opinion be
came unanimous after the 1978 Sugar
Bowl.
Alabama had just whipped Ohio State,
35-6, and Bryant was before TV cameras
with his old friend Woody Hayes, Ohio
State coach.
Bryant spent a minute or so talking
about the game, and a couple of minutes
more lauding Hayes.
He finished with a grin and this line:
"Woody’s one helluva coach—and I ain’t
bad.”

MEET THE NEW MEMBERS
OF THE COLLEGE
FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME
Eleven new members of the Na
tional Football Foundation’s Col
lege Football Hall of Fame will be
formally inducted at a ceremony in New
York City on December 6,1983. The selec
tions were made by the Foundation’s Hon
ors Court and include six linemen and
five backs, all of whom won All-America
acclaim.
Dick Butkus was a University of Illi
nois linebacker from 1962-64. He was
known for his strength, speed and agility,
plus what sportswriters termed an "un
canny” ability to size up opponents’ plays.
His coach, Pete Elliott, said of Butkus that,
“Only once in three years was he out of
position in defending against screen pas
ses ... He is the finest football player I
ever coached.” Butkus set an all-time Illini
single game, single season and career
tackle record. Among his accom
plishments was making or assisting in 23
tackles against Ohio State as a junior. He
was a two-time All-America and was
named 1964’s Player of the Year by the
American Football Coaches Association.
In ’63 Butkus led Illinois to a Big Ten title
and to victory over Washington in the
Rose Bowl. He was named to the all-time
Big Ten team in 1970. Following college he
had an excellent pro football career, and
is now an actor-commentator for Nautilus
Sports Medical Industries.

William Fischer, a two-time AllAmerica guard, was a star for Notre
Dame. During his college career the Irish
had three undefeated seasons, 1946
through '48. Fischer played at tackle as a
freshman, then was switched to guard
under Coach Frank Leahy the following
year. At the end of Fischer’s junior season,
during which he served as team captain,
he was voted the nation’s outstanding
lineman by the Touchdown Club of Wash
ington, and was awarded the Outland
Trophy. In the 1949 East-West Shrine
Game, Fischer was named captain of the
East team, which defeated the West 14-12.
Fischer participated in the Chicago Tri
bune All-Star Game after his final season
with the Irish and was named the game’s
MVP. He played pro football for five
years, then served as a line coach at his
alma mater. Today he owns an automobile
agency in Michigan.
Lee Roy Jordan was the University of
Alabama’s star center from 1960-62. His
coach, the late Paul “Bear” Bryant, called
him “one of the finest football players the
world has ever seen. He was a 100 percent
performer in practice and a 110 percent
performer in games.” An Alabama legend,
Jordan won All-America honors twice
and led the Crimson Tide to the national
championship in 1961. He captained the
College All-Stars to their victory over the
NFL champion Green Bay Packers. Jordan
later was an all-pro for the Dallas Cow
boys, and today is a Dallas businessman.
Charles Krueger was a Texas A&M
University tackle from 1955-57. Twice an
All-America pick (as a junior and senior),
he was also an Academic All-America.
Krueger played under the guidance of
Coach Paul Bryant, who had recruited the
big—6-4, 218 pounds—tackle from high
school. Charley started every game for
three years in college and captained the
team his senior season. That year the Ag
gies went to the Gator Bowl, where they
lost to Tennessee by a field goal. Krueger
is a member of the Texas Football Hall of
Fame, and today is a successful retail
store owner in California.
Floyd Little, a Syracuse halfback
from 1964-66, was one of the few players
ever to win All-America accolades three
times. He also was named the conference
(ECAC) player of the year in his senior sea
son. Little made the three longest punt re
turns in Syracuse history—95, 91 and 90
yards. The 5-11, 195-pound dynamo held
his school’s all-time career rushing record
until it was broken by Larry Csonka. Lit

of the Longhorns’ all-time great linemen.
McFadin, a 6-3, 245-pounder, was hon

becoming a full-time rancher in Del Rio,
Texas.
George Owen was one of Harvard's
greatest all-around athletes, and perhaps
the best-known Crimson athlete of the
1920s. He captained both the baseball and
hockey teams and was an All-America
halfback. A true "60-minute player,"
Owen’s most exciting game was the 1921
10-3 victory over Yale, when he scored all
10 of Harvard’s points. He was also instru
mental in achieving the following year’s
win—another 10-3 victory—over the Elis.
Yale considered him such an outstanding
opponent that on the eve of his gradu

with the National Hockey League, then
became an investment broker. He is now

O.J. Simpson began his spectacular
football career at City College of San Fran
cisco, where he broke every national ju
nior college rushing and scoring record.
He racked up 54 touchdowns and in one
game scored six TD’s. Simpson then
moved to USC to play for John McKay’s
Trojans for two seasons, quickly be
coming the school’s most publicized ath
lete. In 1967 Simpson led the nation in
rushing and placed second in the Heis
man balloting. The following year he won
the Heisman and the Maxwell Trophy as
well. His great speed was combined with a
power that helped him break many
records at USC. After Simpson’s gradu
ation he had an excellent NFL career,
again breaking a series of records. He
later went on to a successful career in
television and movies.
Albert Sparlis was a guard for the
University of California, Los Angeles. He
played in 1940 and ’42 for Coach Babe
Horrel and in 1945 for Coach Bert LaBrucherie, after having served in World
War II as a pilot. That year he won AllAmerica honors. Sparlis, who played at
190 pounds, was known for his quickness
and competitive drive. A heavily deco
rated war hero, he won seven campaign
medals—three in World War II, three in
the Korean War and one in the VietNam
war. Sparlis is now an associate vicepresident for Coldwell Baker and Com

IF GEESE WERE INVENTED TODAY, THEY’D BE
WEARING THINSULATE’THERMAL INSULATION.
FOR CENTURIES, GEESE
HAVE KEPT WARM
THE SAME OLD WAY.
Feathers, feathers and more feathers.
Fine, in their time. But now man has created
something better Thinsulate Thermal
Insulation from 3M. A goose would be silly
not to give it a try.
WE USE FIBERS, NOT FEATHERS.
Our special microfibers trap more air
than most other insulations do. And
that’s the key to our amazing warmth.
>bu see, the more air an insulator
traps the better it works. True.
And that means a half inch of
Thinsulate Insulation is
actually 1.8 times warmer
than a half inch of down.
Nearly twice as warm. In
Thinsulate Insulation, a
goose might not mind
staying north all winter.
This much
Thinsulate
Insulation
is as warm
as.............
this much
down.
ITS EASIER TO FLAP YOUR WINGS
IN THINSULATE INSULATION.
Because it takes less of our insulation to
keep you warm, you get a sleek, lean, racy
look. Not bulky. In Thinsulate Insulation,
you can lead an active outdoor life. Freedom of
movement from wingtip to wingtip.
OUR INSUUTIONISNT AFRAID TO GO
NEAR THE WATER.
Should you happen to get it wet, don’t worry.
Unlike down,Thinsulate Insulation retains almost
all of its insulating value under damp conditions.
And it can even be machine washed or dry
cleaned, depending on the garment’s care
instructions.
WHATS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS
JUSTAS GOOD FOR YOU.
The U.S. Navy Divers, the 1981 British
Winter Expedition on Everest, and hard

around the world use Thinsulate
Insulation. Because it works
for them. In fact, they’ve
been shouting its

What of Akeem Abdul-Olajuwon, the 7-0 center who is like a
Nigerian rose with petals yet unfolding?
The one characteristic he has not lost
since arriving in America is his inno
cence. He has remained childlike in his ea
gerness and wonderment and has seen
Americana open before him with his dis
covery of, among other things, BaskinRobbins ice cream, pancakes, Trans-Ams,
jump shots, Walkman stereos, the Rolling
Stones and Disney world.
"Akeem?” said Villanova Coach Rollie
Massimino after the big fella had un
leashed a textbook demonstration of
power basketball with 20 points, 13 re
bounds, eight blocked shots, five dunks
and one goal-tending violation as Houston
dispatched the Nova in the Midwest Re
gional. "What did I think of him? He’s a
man. He’s Moses. He’s awesome.” At 20,
Akeem already is a man-child who makes
child’s play of shot-blocking and slamdunking. He batted away an incredible
175 shot? in Houston’s 31-3 season that
ended a string of 26 straight victories in
the Cougars’ 54-52 loss to North Carolina
State in the national championship game.
The Illini got so good so fast last sea

ond in the Big Ten. It was an unexpected
bonus. Since they appear to be a year
ahead of schedule, the speed they have
picked up just might carry them to inter
esting places in 1983-84. The outlook was
altered somewhat when guard Derek
Harper decided at the last minute to in
clude his name in the NBA draft, but
Coach Lou Henson has a wealth of talent
and he still has 6-9 Efrem Winters and 6-3
Bruce Douglas, a flashy backliner who set
school records for steals (78) and assists
(189). The Illini, minus Harper, toured
Yugoslavia in May, enabling Henson to
settle some lineup problems. Illinois won
seven of 11 games on the trip abroad as
Winters averaged 21.2 points and 11.5 re
bounds and had a high game of 40 points.
The others who fit into Henson's plans are
6-4 Doug Altenberger, 6-8 George Mont
gomery, 6-9 Scott Meents, 6-9 Anthony
Welch and 6-7 Jay Daniels. Illinois had to
win its last regular-season game to remain
in contention for a place in the NCAA
tournament. The Illini did it in a whiteknuckler, defeating Minnesota in double
overtime and putting Henson in the tour
nament for the eighth time. He took New
Mexico State to the Final Four in 1969-70

strong, too. They’ve won 101 games in the

LSU was passed over by the NCAA last

9.3 rebounds, blocked 30 shots and made
46 steals. Reynolds had 59 steals. Brown
got a jolt when he learned that super re

may be offset by the return of 6-1 Derrick

You live by the sword, you die by
the sword. Same thing is true with
the press. Louisville died by it in the face
of Houston’s unrelenting splurge in a semi
final-round game in the Final Four at Al
buquerque. It was slam-ham basketball at
its best as the Coogs pounded the stuffing
out of the Cardinals in the second half
with a 21-1 explosion that in five-and-ahalf minutes wiped out a 57-49 Louisville
lead. The comeback was not only
spectacular—complete with a Phi
Slamma Jamma dunk show by Houston—
it was as brutally effective a surge as
there ever has been in a Final Four game.
Backboards at either end were war zones.
There were 18 slam-dunks and 16 blocked
shots in the game. The Coogs had 14 of the
slams, 10 in the second half en route to a
94-81 victory, and it put an end to a 32-4
season that was the second best in the his
tory of U of L hoops. It included that sto
rybook win in overtime that ousted Ken
tucky in the Mideast Regional. In the
bluegrass state you could find the thor

whose record is 295-78 in 12 seasons at U

Four. Returning regulars are 6-5 Milt

To begin with, Kirk has his entire starting
cast back from a team that lost by only
seven points to mighty Houston in the
Midwest Regional. One of those five play
ers is 6-10 Keith Lee, who turned down a
lucrative opportunity to leave school for
the NBA. Lee will be ready to again terror
ize the Metro Conference and outsiders
who dare to challenge the Tigers as he did
last season when Memphis won 17 of its
first 18 games. The Tigers finished 23-8,
thanks in large part to 6-9 Derrick Phil
lips. Kirk is lucky to have one possessed of
as much mental toughness as is Phillips.

Scott Skiles is putting the magic
back m the Spartans with his
nifty passes and his silky shooting. They
are reminders of an era past in Jenison
Field House when Earvin Johnson was
the main man and Michigan State tapdanced to the national title in 1978-79
with a memorable victory in the final
over Indiana State and Larry Bird. The
peppery, 6-1 Skiles has been standing tall
from the time that he took tiny Plymouth,
Indiana, to the state high school hoops
championship. As a freshman at Michigan
State last season he got the ball inside to
7-0 Kevin Willis and to 6-8 Ben Tower and
be brought out the best in 6-2 Sam Vin
cent. Skiles’ 146 assists, tbe third-highest
total in school bistory behind Magic John
son’s 222 in 1977-78 and 269 in 1978-79,
and Skiles’ 12.5 scoring average con
vinced many he was the Big Ten’s No. 1
frosh. The Spartans shared sixth in the
conference and lost in the second round
of the NIT to eventual champ Fresno
State. Skiles triggered a late run for the
Spartans in the Big Ten after he hit Ohio
State for 35 points in a triple-overtime
win. The hot Skiles then averaged 23
points in subsequent victories over Indi
ana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and North
western. With Willis, Tower, Vincent, 6-5
Patrick Ford, 6-8 Larry Polec and 6-8
transfer Ken Johnson, the Spartans will
be very good. With Skiles in the lineup,
they can go as far as they want to go.

Just when Dean Smith was about
to begin work on building a dy
nasty, one of his neighbors on Tobacco
Road—the Wolfpack of North Carolina
State—spoiled everything. State became
Destiny’s Darling of the NCAA tourna
ment and by winning it all kept the nacontinued
continued
tional championship in the state of North
Carolina. What Smith will do now is pick
up the pieces and begin anew the job that
was interrupted. And it just might be that
the Tar Heels will give the national cham
pionship a North Carolina flavor for a
third straight season, considering the
players that Smith has returning and the
fact that the Heels’ recruiting harvested
the best trio of high school prospects in
the country. Smith was pleased when 6-9
Sam Perkins, a spidery southpaw, and 6-6
Michael Jordan, arguably the nation’s
premier player, told him they would not
throw their hats into the NBA draft. Smith
was more than pleased when Jordan and
Perkins were chosen for the U.S. team in
the Pan-American Games. To begin the
1983-84 season. Smith will have three
starters from the team that won the
1981-82 national title in Perkins, Jordan
and 6-8 Matt Doherty. Add to these some
building blocks in 6-11 Brad Daugherty,
6-4 Curtis Hunter and 6-4 Buzz Peterson,
all of whom played a lot last season, and
it’s easy to see why Smith may qualify for
a journeyman’s card in carpentry. His in
coming frosh are 6-9 Dave Popson, 6-3
Kenny Smith and 6-10 Joe Wolf.
Oregon state.!
After 32 years on the bench,
poker-faced Ralph Miller knows
whereof he speaks. Here is a man who
was playing basketball at Kansas in the
late 1930s when Phog Allen already was
experimenting with 12-foot baskets.
Miller has been the Big Ten Coach of the
Year (at Iowa), Missouri Valley Coach of
the Year (at Wichita State), and National
Coach of the Year (at Oregon State). In all
those years he has formulated his own
ideas about the game he coaches. He
would banish the slam-dunk. “Idiot's de
light," Miller calls it. “What’s so great
about a dunk? It comes from one inch. If
you put the baskets at 12 feet and some
one dunks, now I'll applaud that.” He
would applaud also a return to the top of
the Pacific-10 by his Orange Express this
season, and if he can get some inside
problems solved, UCLA will have its
hands full in the conference race with the
Beavers. To fit the glass slipper, Oregon
State needs a defensively tougher Steve
Woodside to dominate the center spot so
6-8 Charlie Sitton, a great player, can
move back to a wing with 6-8 A.C. Green
at the other wing. The Beavers shot so
poorly outside last season that all they
saw were zone defenses. Dean Derrah,
who missed last season because of knee
surgery, can pop from the perimeter. Dar
ryl Flowers will occupy one of the guard
positions. Is this the season that Miller
finally will reach the Final Four?

when the crowds begin stomp
ing and screaming at the Round
house, it usually is Willie White and Stan
ford Strickland who bring the Moc fans to
a fever pitch. Falk about a gift-wrapped
package. These two came to UTC together
four years ago and have been great con
tributors to three Southern Conference
titles and have helped put the Mocs into
the national consciousness as a legitimate
power. Where White is, Strickland won’t
be far behind. They room together, eat to
gether, dream together and on the floor
they have been double trouble for UTC
foes. The 6-3 White was the conference’s
most valuable player two seasons ago and
even though he averaged 18.4 points, shot
52 percent and had 74 assists last season
he had to relinquish his MVP status.
White wants it back this season. J'he 6-6
Strickland, who averaged 12.5 points and
5.5 rebounds, wants to help White get it
back and at the same time grab a fourth
league championship for the Mocs. Two
other starters, 6-6 Gerald Wilkins—the
younger brother of Dominique—and 6-1
Chris McCray return. UTC knows the eu
phoria of a national championship, hav
ing won the Division II title in 1977. The
Mocs have something more to spur them
on this season. It is the long shadow of a
30-18 halftime lead over Maryland in the
Midwest Regional that melted into a 52-51
defeat. Somebody will pay for that.
UCLA. I
As usual, there is a ton of talent in
Westwood. Whether the Bruins
can repeat as Pacific-10 champions will
depend on how well coach Lai’ry Farmer
can redefine the chemistry of his team.
Forward Kenny Fields, who has an NBA
body and the skills to match it, decided to
remain in school rather than make him
self eligible for the NBA draft. Said
Farmer of Fields’ decision: "I’m very ex
cited." Jo go with the 6-7 Fields, Farmer
has 7-0 Stuart Gray, 6-1 Montel Hatcher,
6-2 Ralph Jackson, 6-8Gary Maloncon, 6-5
Nigel Miguel and 6-10 Brad Wright. Given
the Bruin tradition in the NCAAs (60-17
record and 10 national championships), it
was a shocking finale to the 1982-83 sea
son for the Bruins when thf;y dropped

Right now, the Army National Guard is looking
for men and women who want to be officers.
It's a tough, challenging iob. One of the most
important jobs in America. And you'll find the rewards
match the challenge.
For instance, in the Army Guard, youll gain
valuable management and leadership sfalls you may
use in your civilian career. You'll earn an excellent parttime income and be entitled to limited space available
air travel, PX privileges, life insurance, a fully paid
retirement plan, and lots more.
Youll be serving close to home, helping people

other emergencies arise. And, after your initial training,
it takes just two days a month and two weeks annual
training each year to serve, so youll have time for your
family, friends, school or job.
If you have previous experience as an Army
officer, you can probably join the Army Guard as an
officer. If not, and you qualify, you can get a commis
sion through an Officer Candidate Course, or a direct
appointment based on your unique civilian job
experience.

loss at Fresno State in the NIT, hut he
learned a long time ago that what goes
around comes around. He fell asleep dur

Henry Iha, at Oklahoma State. Iha woke
him up by bouncing an eraser off his head
and The Bear has been paying attention
since. Nobody slips much past streetsmart Haskins now. He is blessed with so
much talent for 1983-84 (11 superb play

keeping track of them on the bench. He’ll

shop. His orange juice tasted lousy. If
Rollie had been in a restaurant in South
Philly, he would have given his guests a
three-hour explanation of how it was that
Akeem bamboozled the best-laid plans
that the Villanova staff had for snaring
the Coogs in a trap. That’s old stuff now.
Rollie will have to proceed in the Big East
minus his dancing bear, John Pinone, who
was the heart and soul of the Cats! He had
a hand in 91 wins in four seasons and
that’s no small feat for any team in the Big
East, the brainchild of Providence’s Dave
Gavitt. This league has elbowed its way
alongside the elite (i.e.. Big Ten and ACC).
Massimino is of old world charisma. His
dad was an Italian immigrant and a New
Jersey shoemaker. His players show up at
his home at 11 p.m. for pasta and, in turn,
he runs a mandatory study hall. Not
everybody can play for him. "If you don’t
do it like I want it done, you’re history,’’
he says. He’ll begin a new era with 6-9
Ed Pinckney, 6-7 Harold Pressley, 6-6
Dwayne McClain, 6-0 Gary McLain and a
couple of giant sophs, 7-0 Chuck Everson
and 6-11 Wyatt Maker. Rollie isn’t as loud
as he once was. No more bulging, red
faced tantrums. He is killing the opposi
tion quietly now.

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

BLAIR HROVAT
A WINNER PROM CLASSROOM TO GRIDIRON
Blair Hrovat — Edinboro University Quarterback
A recent Erie Sunday paper featured Blair Hrovat as
the prime figure in an ad promoting Edinboro University's
academic programs. The name got questioning glances
from readers since it wasn't situated where Hrovat usually
commands newspaper ink—on the sports pages. Yet, its
placement was most appropriate since Hrovat's accom
plishments have become quite a scholar-athlete success
story since his arrival on the Edinboro campus.
Edinboro University's football program has been a big
winner ever since Hrovat, a junior from the Cleveland,
Ohio, suburb of Northfield, stepped to the controls. The
Nordonia High graduate got the starting nod in the final
three games of his freshman year when the Scots were
floundering at 1-6 and sparked the Plaid to three straight
wins while rejuvenating a lackluster offense to a 30 point
per game average. Since that initial start the Scots have
reeled off 19 victories in 23 tries with Hrovat orchestrating
an explosive offense that has produced 719 points.
But Hrovat, who now owns 13 Edinboro football
records, has also been a winner in academics as well as
athletics. For the past two semesters he has been a dean's
list student while majoring in accounting. Currently
working on a 3.6 academic average, the Buckeye native
plans to enroll in law school following graduation with
hopes of becoming a corporate tax lawyer.
"I dream about playing pro football, but I don't envision
it," claims the Scot signal caller. "If it comes along. I'll jump
at it. But my goal right now is to do the best I can grade-wise
and get into law school. That still is my number one goal,"
proclaimed the gifted junior who chose Edinboro over
Cornell.
Hrovat has other goals that center around football. "I
put them on a board in my room. Last year they were to
throw for 1500 yards and run for 250.1 threw for 1700 and
ran for around 230. This year I put them a little steeper,"
the Buckeye native revealed.
But personal goals are secondary to Hrovat who is
much more interested in the overall performance of the
team. "Our goals were to win the Western Division and win
the national championship," the EUP signal caller offered.
Those were number 1 and number 2 on the board, mine are
three and four," he added. "Of course, one of those is
impossible now while the other is very slim. I really believe
if we could just get into the playoffs, we couldn't be
stopped," he predicted.
Confidence is a major character trait exhibited by the
Edinboro quarterback. The youngest of four brothers,
ranging in age from 20 to 26, Hrovat, who stands just
5-10V2 and weighs barely 170 pounds, handles his role as a
leader quite matter-of-factly.
"I've always been confident," he claims. "I've been a
quarterback ever since I was eight years old. It's the only
position I've ever played. I was a starter in my sophomore
year, so I've always been in a position where I was leading
players who were upperclassmen and bigger physically
than I am."
Hrovat is quick to give credit to Edinboro University
offensive coordinator John D'Ottavio and the Scots offen
sive line.
"He's the best coach I've ever had," Hrovat stated
without a moments hesitation. He's a perfectionist, which
is a big plus for me. That means if I get a 90 in the films, and
I missed only two plays, he'll harp on those two plays like I
made the biggest mistake of my life. That just makes me
better each game. When you're a veteran you sometimes
tend to relax a little. You think you know too much when
you really don't know enough," he continued.
"Last year much of my success was due to a veteran
offensive line," reflected the record breaking performer.
"I've always told the guys that our offense starts with the
offensive line. They're the ones who intimidate opponents,
not the smaller people in the backfield," he stated. "This
year's line wasn't experienced, but they got better and
better every game. They're just as good now, if not better,
than any line I've had in front of me," claimed Hrovat.
The young gridder's protection from his offensive line
has evidently been to his liking with 13 records currently
etched in his name. Included among his long list of new
passing standards are; most yards—game (300), most
yards—season (1702), most yards—career (3,449), most
completions—game (18), most completions—season (82),
most TD passes—game (4), most TD passes—season (15),
and most TD passes career (31). His quarterback play as
both a runner and a passer have also earned him
Edinboro's total offense marks for a game (340), a season
(1,931), and a career (4,050). He will have the opportunity
to extend most of these marks with one full year remaining
to be played in the Fighting Scot backfield.
Hrovat was quite a catch for Edinboro Coach Denny
Creehan who has nothing but admiration for the Ohioan.
"Blair is a winner in every respect," said the Scot mentor.
"He's a rare individual who possesses a wealth of
academic and athletic gifts. We feel really fortunate to have
a young man like him in our program."
"My reasons for picking Edinboro were twofold,"
explained Hrovat. "I liked the size of the school and the
academic program it offered as well as its reputation in
football. The professors are willing to give assistance above
what is required in the classroom and that kind of attention
is really valuable to a student," he concluded.
Whatever the case, Hrovat's winning ways have made
him a noted person on the Edinboro University campus in
spite of the low profile he enjoys. He's a modern day
success story that continues the cause of scholar-athletes
in competition both on the field and in the classroom.

EDINBORO...THE BIRTH OF A UNIVERSITY
After 125 years of service to the tri-state area, Edinboro experienced its most significant change in history on
July 1, 1983, when the College became Edinboro Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. Founded as a private academy in
1857, Edinboro University has continued its surge to the
forefront as one of the leading educational institutions in
western Pennsylvania. Situated on a sprawling 585-acre
campus in the scenic resort community of Edinboro, the
University is within 1CX) miles of the educational and
cultural canters of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. It is
just 15 miles south of Erie, the third largest city in
Pennsylvania, and easily accessible from all directions by
interstates 79, 80 and 90.
Edinboro has the distinction of being the second
normal school established in Pennsylvania and the 12th in
the United States. It has grown to more than forty buildings
including the 350,000-volume Baron-Forness Library, a
modern seven-story structure which serves as a focal point
for the spacious campus. More than 5,800 students
representing almost every county in the Commonwealth,
as well as numerous states and foreign countries attend
Edinboro. Jts tradition of educational service and research
is matched by a distinguished faculty, more than two-thirds
of whom have earned doctoral degrees.
The University now offers more than 100 under
graduate, graduate, and associate degree programs, a
diversity unmatched by any other college or university in
northwestern Pennsylvania. While seeking to meet the
educational needs of its region from both a professional
and cultural standpoint, Edinboro now mckes contributions
in the fields of education, government, environmental
improvement, urban and rural problems, crime prevention,
and service to business and industry. Recent program
developments include those in the high-demand areas of
allied health, business administration, communication,
computer technology, nursing, and various pre-profes
sional offerings such as law, dentistry, medicine, pharmacy
and veterinary science. Numerous student internships
provide additional examples of the University's efforts to
create a close working relationship with the people it
serves while, at the same time, offering students intel
lectual and career opportunities.
Edinboro has initiated the University Honors Program
to provide challenging and enriched learning experiences
for academically gifted students. Undergraduate students
are encouraged to strive for academic excellence both in
their major fields and in other disciplines. Honors students
pursue studies that are greater in depth and scope than
those required of other undergraduates.
Although the costs for attending Edinboro rank among
the lowest in the Commonwealth, over $8,000,000 in
financial aid is available annually to eligible students.
Students are admitted to the University in September,
January, or at the beginning of each summer session and
are considered for admission on the basis of their general
scholarship, nature of secondary program, and SAT or ACT
scores.

gridders, now 7-2 on the year, find themselves at the
threshold of becoming the best point and yardage pro
ducing unit in the school's history when they close regular
season action against the 5-1-2 Lakers.
The red-hot Scots could very easily rank as the top total
offense team in the nation when the final NCAA Division II
stats are tabulated and will most likely own the number two
spot nationally in scoring. Edinboro is currently averaging a
torrid 453 yards per game both rushing and passing, a
figure almost 30 yards ahead of the EUP record set in 1971,
and needs only 168 yards to eclipse the single season total
offense mark of 4,244 yards. The point-potent Scots,
lighting up the scoreboard at a 37.6 points-per-game pace,
also need just 18 markers to topple the existing season
scoring standard of 335 points.
Mercyhurst will be confronted with the yeoman task of
slowing a relentless ground attack that is tearing up the turf
at a 283 yards-per-game rate.
Headlining a cast of 20 different rushers who have
lugged the pigskin for the Scots are fullback Keith Collier
(60.3 yards per game) along with halfbacks Bob Klenk
(51.1) and Damon Chambers (48.1). Klenk also leads a list
of 17 different scorers with 10 touchdowns and an extra
point reception for 62 points followed by Chambers seven
scores.
The main cog in the Scot's wing-T offense is junior
quarterback Blair Hrovat who now owns 13 Edinboro
records. In last week's 50-7 rout of Lock Haven, the
Northfield, Ohio, product set a new career passing
standard with his 3,449 yards, became the top total offense
getter in the school's history with 4,050 yards and
surpassed his own season record for touchdown tosses
with 15 scoring strikes on the year. He also directed an
Edinboro attack that netted a record-tying 605 yards
against the Bald Eagles. The Scot signal caller, behind a
rebuilt offensive line that has improved with each game,
has connected on 87 of 158 attempts for 1,454 yards to
register an impressive 55.1 percent accuracy mark.
Halfbacks Ron Rankin and Bob Klenk along with wide
receiver Gary McKnight have been Hrovat's top targets.
Rankin has snared 19 tosses for 275 yards with McKnight
grabbing 16 for 428 and four touchdowns while Klenk
owns 12 for 137 yards.
Edinboro's defense has also made its mark as one of
the most respected aggregates in the country against the
rush. The stingy Scots are permitting only 71.4 yards per
game in the rushing department while allowing only five
touchdowns in nine games on the ground. In the mean
time, the Scots secondary has pilfered 19 enemy passes
and yielded only 194 yards per game against some of the
nation's top rated passers.
Fleet-footed junior linebacker Willie Chealey has run
away with the team's tackling lead on the strength of 111
stops. He is complemented by linebacker sidekick Jim
Durkin whose hard hitting has earned him runnerup
honors with 90 jolts. Rounding out the leader list are
middle guard John O'Rorke (78), ends Bob Beauregard and
Phil Giavasis with respective 68 and 65 thumps along with
tackles Rick Jordan (64) and Don Espy (56). Jordan is tops in
the sacks department with 12, just three shy of the season
record of 15. The Jamestown, New York, native is fast
approaching the career mark of 27 with his three-year total
of 22 sacks.
Also etching his name in the record book is freshman
placekicker Jim Trueman from Bellevue's Northgate High
School. The Scot's booter, who is the team's second
leading scorer with 59 points, moved past the season
record of 31 on his final PAT against Lock Haven. He has
converted 32 of 35 attempts and kicked nine field goals.
The invading Lakers pin their hopes on the running of
fullback Tim Ruth (586 yards on 110 carries) and the
passing of quarterback Eddie Ricci. The duo work behind
Mercyhurst's offensive line leader 6-5, 265-pound tackle
Mike Stepnoski.
Getting its biggest test of the year will be the
Mercyhurst defense which has given up only 9.5 points per
game. Standouts here are the linebacker tandem of Don
Gibbon and Tim Latimer with respective 91 and 72 tackle
totals in eight games.
"Hopefully, this will only be the last home game for our
15 seniors," offered Creehan whose "finely tuned"
gridders have outscored their opposition 137-15 in the last
three games. "We know our post-season chances are slim
with two losses, but I know this team is the kind that would
be exciting at the national playoff level," he concluded.
END TO END — Teaming up at the defensive end spots
for the last time at Sox Harrison are seniors Bob
Beauregard and Phil Giavasis.

His innovative efforts at Edinboro have taken
many shapes. Most recently, he initiated a total
reorganization of the University's various academic
schools and administrative offices with a watchful
eye upon fiscal responsibility and increased institu
tional responsiveness. In keeping with his policy of
making maximum use of existing campus resources
in higher education, he has imaginatively met the
ever-changing needs brought about by new and
emerging student interests and societal expecta
tions.
Unique cooperative programs with area business
and industry are also the result of President Diebold's
revitalization of Edinboro University. Among his
President Diebold's community service includes
membership on the Board of Corporators, Hamot
Medical Center in Erie, and on Marine Bank's Local
Advisory Board. Recently he was a panel participant
at the First Global Conference on the Future In
Toronto. He also serves as a member of the William J.

Philadelphia Inquirer
y now it has become as common
an occurrence of the competitive
autumn as a change in the Top 10
rankings. The product of intelligent, tacti
cal coaching, it may be the one facet of
collegiate football most often overlooked
by those who equate victory with blatant
mismatches in physical skill.
It occurs when a defense armed with
semi-swift cornerbacks, a lumbering line
backer or two, and a pair of ubiquitous
safeties defies everyone’s stopwatch
numbers and shuts down some wide re
ceiver with after-burners where his legs
ought to be.
Speed, of course, is still a prime requi
site for pass receivers, and it is no great
revelation to say that most coaches would
rather have fast athletes than slow ones.
But through skillful deployment of the de
fensive troops—that unity of effort called
coordination—it is possible to take speed
out of the game by turning off the burner,
so to speak.
Many a fine receiver has been victim
ized by a successful demonstration of
double coverage, the strategic plan
coaches often resort to when the op
position includes an uncommonly swift
pass receiver.
As the term implies, double coverage is
a maneuver executed by two defenders
on a single receiver, and its success de
pends on great harmony of effort and
timing. Double coverage is inevitably dic
tated by talent—both of the receiver and
the athletes available to cover him—and is
usually carried out by an outside line
backer and a cornerback, a linebacker
and a free safety, or a cornerback and a
safety—though the variations may seem
endless.
Consider one ideal example; The re
ceiver sprints off the line of scrimmage in

continued
ling range through the first 12-15 yards of
the pass route. Almost at the moment the
receiver is about to leave the LB gasping
on the turf, the battle is joined by the de
fensive back, who carries out the cov
erage from 15 yards onward.
Or, as may be more memorably ob
served: The receiver moves into his route
with a cornerback matching him stride
for stride. A few moments later, moving
on the quarterback’s throw or a break in
the route, one of the safeties quickly
moves into the play either to break up the
pass, go for the ball or make the tackle
before too much yardage is lost.
Successful, down-after-down repeti
tion of double coverage, especially when
it is matched with a sustained pass rush,
can mean a long afternoon for the fastest
wide receiver and, in due course, an
equally frustrated quarterback forced to
throw to other targets.
A rising young assistant coach who tu
tors defensive backs for an eastern power
explains: “If you’re facing a particularly
skilled wide receiver, a kid who’s got the
ability to break it, you want to take him
out of their offense, and make him beat
you ‘left-handed.”’
A defense so instructed then may
double-cover the receiver in a variety of
ways, the length and breadth of the field.
"It’s multi-faceted,” says the assistant
coach. "You might double him long and
short—bracket him all up the field—or
inside and out. Your (defensive) method is
determined by the total defense, whether
you’re stunting up front and getting some
pressure on the passer. Whatever you do
has to be coordinated with the rest of the
defense.”
But for those who must carry it out,
double coverage can be a harsh athletic
task despite two men on the job.
"It’s really a tough assignment for the
linebacker,” an eastern head coach says
with discernable sympathy in his voice.
"He’s got to try to keep up with the re
ceiver (who is probably 40 pounds light
er), and who’s to say the offense won’t run
or throw an option at him?
No matter how dramatically effective
double coverage may be, it is a defensive
scheme most coaches would rather not
have to use. For in the deployment of two
defenders to a single receiver, the at
tacking team gains a lO-on-9 manpower
advantage. The defense that tries to dou
ble cover both wide receivers obviously
suffers an even greater deficit, if not the
kind of numbers game that can produce
the wrong kind of numbers on the scoreboard.
"The team that doubles up on one part
of the offense,” says a veteran West Coast
coach, "is going to have to sacrifice some
thing to the rest. You can’t do it without
4t
A typical double coverage alignment finds the linebacker covering the receiver 12-15 yards

leaving a hole somewhere.”
For that very reason, a football team’s
most effective receiver probably should
be determined by the type of coverage he
demands, rather than by his receptions
and receiving yardage. The pass catcher
most often tagged a "decoy,” one who bur
dens a defense by taking two players out
of the scheme of things, is an undeniable
weapon whether he catches a pass or not.
"That’s what makes it worrisome,” says
the eastern head coach. "You’ve got to
make sure when you’re covering their
fast guy with two of yours that they don’t
have someone else pop free.
"Double coverage is a defense most
coaches would rather not play. You’d
rather hope you’ve got the personnel ca
pable of going one-on-one with every
body you play.”
Even so, the occasions of double cov
erage have increased, along with such
tactical phenomena as the fifth (nickel)
and sixth (dime) defensive back. Such cov
erages have been brought about by col
lege football’s increasing affection for,
and sophisticated use of, the forward
pass.
And as might be expected, the offense
has responded in kind. Reacting to double
coverage, the attacking team can make
the defense work even harder by aligning
its speedster to the tight end side of the
line of scrimmage.
"It’s easier to double cover a split re
ceiver,” the head coach says. “It’s much
harder against a flanker with a tight end
on the same side, especially if the tight
end is a good blocker. The flanker gets
into the pattern quicker.”
Other offensive retaliation includes
three wide receivers in the formation,
usually as the tactical response to what
one head coach calls, "maximum
coverage—where they rush three (play
ers) and cover with eight. That doesn’t
leave too many areas of the field un
defended, and it’s pretty tough to pump
the ball in there.”
What it all reflects, of course, is a dy
namic continuum—the offensive ebb and
defensive flow of collegiate football. Out
of the constant struggle between tacti
cians devoted to moving the ball and stra
tegists determined to stop it, come the
trends and the drama that continue to fas
cinate us from one hopeful autumn to the
next.

some way, make them feel part of the
team. So we post depth charts. We dress
out the first two varsity units for games,
then the first team scout squads. We put
the best of the scout teamers into the kick
ing units. This helps morale.”
A scout teamer’s life is not an easy one.
The better players are redshirts, good
athletes trading a year of immaturity for
what likely will be a standout final sea
son, and getting an extra year’s classwork
toward a degree.
Every good athlete hates his redshirt
year while it is happening, but looks back
on it gratefully when he is enjoying a tri
umphant final season.
“The scout teamer has to report early
for the kicking game we work on before
practice, and then sometimes stay late for
the kicking phases we do afterwards,”
says a head coach.
He points out the negatives.
“It’s easy for a scout teamer to get into
bad habits.
“An offensive lineman might just slop
around, step with the wrong foot, just
move out rather than fire out. A receiver
might make a poor effort in traffic. A
quarterback might look at one receiver all
the way, rather than read the defense, the
way he always should. He might throw it
into a crowd, which he should never do,
and which doesn’t help our defense.
“The best scout team quarterback we
ever had spent a year getting eligible after
transferring. The habits he developed
carried him to All-Southwest honors two
years later, and us to a co-championship.”
If seniors will, they can set a tempo and
patterns that will maximize the con
tributions of the scout team and make for
outstanding practices.
In baseball, there are hitters who want
a batting practice pitcher to throw every
pitch over the plate, so that he can make
contact every time, groove his move. On
the other hand, top hitters know their
weaknesses, or at least what they will see
most of from the pitcher they are about to
face, and will ask the BP chunker to put
the ball in a certain place, or to follow a
pattern of in-and-out, etc., that he will see
in a game.
“Some first teamers don’t want it the
hard way in practice,” said a head coach.

hadn’t started enacting rules banning
backs-in-motion as early as 1896.
Dave Nelson, University of Delaware
athletic director and chairman of the
NCAA Football Rules Committee, calls
that rule one of the most important in
football history.
“I know Canadian pro football still per
mits a back to be in motion toward the line
of scrimmage when the ball is snapped,”
he said, "but can you imagine what kind of
collisions we would have in college foot
ball today if a team could put a 280-pound
tackle at fullback, let him start running
full speed toward the line of scrimmage
and hand him the ball just before he got
there? With the speed and size of today’s
football players, we could expect a great
increase in the number of injuries.
“The 1896 rule change specified that
only one man could be in motion when
the ball was snapped, and he could not be
moving toward the line of scrimmage.
Without that rule, we would have flying
wedges, revolving tandems and all sorts
of dangerous shifts and formations.”
Have you ever wondered about offen
sive backfield shifts? Why are various
backs and flankers jumping around just
before the ball is snapped? Are they hav
ing trouble finding the spot the coaches
specified? Is the quarterback changing
his signals to confuse the defense? When
did backfield shifts start, and what is
their purpose?
Among those who have written about
shifts was John W. Heisman, after whom
college football’s most coveted trophy is
named. Heisman coached successfully at
Georgia Tech and Penn. His writings re
veal that he was in many ways an unusual
man. Indeed, among the things he
preached to his players was to avoid tak
ing showers—especially hot showers—as
he said this tended to debilitate an athlete.
Not many of Heisman’s players got invited
to sorority dances after their games.
“It is clear that the men should all be
moved simultaneously and with as great
speed as possible,” Heisman wrote in a
1922 book that discussed shifts, “and af
ter such preliminary move has been exe
cuted and completed that the ball shall be
put in play immediately, else the defense
will be able to shift reinforcements to the
threatened spot in time to nullify the ad
vantage gained by the offense in a pre
concerted and well executed shift.”
Heisman and Doc Williams, of Minne
sota, were among the first to really ex
ploit the shift. Later Knute Rockne devel
oped the fantous “Notre Dame Shift” so
well that it helped his last two teams to go
unbeaten in 1929 and ’30. Rockne was
killed in a plane crash the following sum
mer.
Nelson lists the following seasons as

Coach John W. Heisman was one of the first to use the shift.
ones in which important rule changes
were made regarding shifts:
1896—The rule limiting one man in
motion.
1914—It became illegal to shift through
the neutral zone.
1922—A full stop—a standstill—was or
dered after a shift.
1924—Absolute stop—no movement.
1927—Full-second stop.
1942—It became a foul to draw a charge
with a false start on a shift.
1954—Sucker shifts were prohibited by
the American Football Coaches Associa
tion. These simulated the start of a play,
causing the defense to jump offside.
1983—The sucker shift is back. Some
teams are employing it in shifts in or out
of punt formation.
The primary purpose of the backfield
shift, of course, is to move one or more
backs to positions other than those where
they originally lined up. It provides
strength at an unexpected spot, giving the
defense fresh problems of handling the
deception and momentum. However, a
shift may not simulate the start of a play.
Some coaches feel that using shifts
is a matter of necessity for teams whose
players aren’t as good as the opposition.
“My staff and I have had to come up
with ways to trick the defenses, to shift
backs quickly to concentrate our
strengths on unexpected places,” said a
major college coach. “I don’t think we
could have achieved much offensively
without widespread use of shifts.”
In explaining what his offense does
with the shift, the coach continued:
“We are going to force our opponents to
defend the entire width of the football
field by spreading our offensive forma
tions. We are going to utilize five eligible

receivers on pass plays, and sometimes
six when the quarterback is a receiver.
Everyone on the team is a potential ball
carrier for running plays. Our passing at
tack utilizes option-type pass routes dic
tated by defensive alignment and move
ment.
"... We try to minimize the defensive
possibilities by utilizing formations,
movement and motion on offense. Our
audible system is very helpful in elimi
nating bad plays and assisting our quar
terback in maintaining the consistency
to move the football. We are truly a
multiple-offense team.”
What’s an audible? That’s when the
quarterback notices something in the
other team’s defense that wasn’t apparent
when the play was called originally in the
huddle. So he audibly calls out coded in
let
formation to change the signal to some
thing with a better chance of working.
That’s another reason you may see offen
sive backs jumping to new positions just
before the ball is snapped.
One successful offensive coordinator
lists these 11 reasons for using shifts:
1. To create defensive adjustments
which best allow execution of the most
basic phases of an offense.
2. To dictate (by formation, motion or
shifting) defensive alignments and cov
erages.
3. To force opponents into a balanced
and base defense.
4. To force additional and lengthy
weekly preparation by opponents on
alignments and adjustments, leaving
them less time to spend in repetition and
execution.
5. To limit defensive pressure.
6. To break defensive concentration.
7. To create defensive confusion and
communication problems by defensive
signal callers.
8. To break set tendency keys.
9. To eliminate bump-and-run or double
coverage on wide receivers.
10. To eliminate flip-flopping of de
fensive personnel, often creating a player
mismatch.
11. To provide an exciting style of play
for both players and fans.
Notre Dame’s Knute Rockne had some
sound advice for using the shift. You
might say one of his recommendations
was "get there fustest with the mostest,”
and the other was the now-famous KISS
system (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Anyway,
the Rock wrote this way about the two
ideas:
"The idea of the shift is to attempt to get
more men of the offense to a given spot
than the defense can muster in the short
time allotted it. The essence of offense is
to get there first with the most men; the
shift is a big adjunct to this.
"It is best to keep your shift formations
just as simple as possible. It is possible, of
course, to work up complex offensive
shifts, but as a rule the coach using these
spends so much time practicing the shift
that his team is weak on tackling and
blocking, and is beaten because of these
weaknesses. And besides, in these days of
intensive scouting, we cannot fool the de
fensive team as we would like to.”
One wonders what Rockne would add
to that if he were alive now.
One also can speculate what college
football would be like today if backfield
shifts weren't limited by rule, and if there
were no restrictions against backs-inmotion (outlawed by that 1896 rule).
Almost certainly there would have been
strong cries for eliminating the game
completely—even stronger than there
were in 1905, when 18 players died and
159 more were seriously injured because
of football. That was when President
Wheeler of the University of California
sent a telegram to football officials: "The
game of football must be entirely made
over or go.”
It also was the time when U.S. President
Teddy Roosevelt, in mid-season, called
representatives of Yale, Harvard and
Princeton to the White House and told
them it was up to them to save the sport
by removing every objectionable feature.
"Brutality and foul play should receive
the same summary punishment given to
the man who cheats at cards,” President
Roosevelt said.
So down with brutality and foul play,
and up with the deception and finesse
provided by such things as shifts!

coaches were discovering that what they
thought they saw Saturday afternoon
bore little or no resemblance to the actual
game. ‘And I thought he had a sensational

even if we did lose. When we graded him

ing to cover up for the other guy.”
The grades offer the opportunity for
self-correction to these coaches. An assis
tant coach says, “When you’re coaching
your own guy,you sometimes get a little
protective. You want him to look good.
And then the head coach comes and says,
‘Hey, your guy's not playing too well.’ You
tell him he is. And then we go to the
grades and there’s the hard reality.”
But even grades, the hard numbers, can
fool you. Although the coaches put more
faith in their Sunday afternoon grades
than their Saturday afternoon gut feel
ings, they know too that the grading is
very subjective. Just because something
can be reduced to statistics, that doesn’t
mean it’s objective.
"It’s very subjective,” a coach says. “Af
ter all, there’s no way to quantify every
thing absolutely.” There are many ingre
dients in a play that just can’t be assigned
a number. Courage, determination—
there’s a reason they’re called intan
gibles. But even beyond that, it’s ex
good player? “When you’ve got two AllAmerica linemen opposite each other, it’s
impossible to grade them,” he says. “The
offensive coach might grade his player
out at 60 percent. And yet the defensive
coach might also grade his out at 60 per
cent. Very subjective.”
However, some organizations, the ones
that recognize just how subjective this
grading can be, have even gone so far as
to try to quantify the subjectivity. When
pro scouts come in to evaluate a player,
that scout’s previous grading is taken into
consideration. Does he grade high, low?
His final tally is multiplied by a factor of
his subjectivity. Football may be a game of
inches to some people; to the coaches, it’s
a game of numbers.
A lot of football, though, can be boiled
down to numbers. A lot of the plays can
be graded conclusively. Some coaches
simply grade out the players on the basis
of their assignments. Did he carry it out
or attempt it? Or did he try to block the
wrong man? It’s a simple pass/fail every

tremely difficult for any two coaches to
decide on whether a player completed his
assignment successfully or not.
How do you grade a pass rusher, for ex
ample? You might say he completed his
play, successfully only if he tackled the
quarterback before he unloaded the ball.
But what if hfe pressured him into throw
ing a bad pass? What if he simply pres
sured him, regardless of the pass the
quarterback got off? And how do you
grade a really good player who happens
to be lining up across from another really
play in that system and it’s easy to come
up with a number. Some coaches factor in
technique. Was his technique good or bad
on each play? “So a guy’s in 30 plays,” the
coach explains, “and his technique is right
24 times, that’s 80 percent. If he gets the
assignment right 29 times, that’s a 96.
That way we can tell if he’s doing what he
should within the system. Also, if a guy
grades out a winner in technique, but
grades lower in assignments, well, that
tells us he’s not concentrating. He’s doing
enough physically, but not mentally. And
vice versa.”
Sometimes the individual scores are
posted but most often they are not.
Rather, the coach will announce them
during the screening with the assembled
team. Either way, the coach is counting on
a little peer pressure.
Other times the coaches post the scores
for an entire unit, the defensive line, the
offensive backfield.
There are still other systems of grading,
systems so complicated the grades
couldn’t be posted any place but the halls
of the Library of Congress. A coach, in
addition to grading for technique and as
signment, might also decide to grade the
player’s effort. He may give pluses and mi
nuses for such a quality.
And, of course, different positions are
graded differently. An offensive tackle
might only be considered in terms of as
signment, technique and effort. But a
quarterback is graded on everything
from getting his team out of the huddle, to
handoff execution, to his reading of the
defense. He is not graded according to the
completion for each throw. Rather, he
may be graded according to whether he
completes a certain percentage of them—
60percent is success, 59 percent is failure
in that category.
And running backs are also difficult to
grade, especially since they are so de
pendent on their linemen for their yard
age. They have to complete their assign
ment, perform with good technique and,
in addition, try to reach an arbitrary goal,
say four yards.
Some coaches get even more involved
with the grading. During the screening
with the team, a coach may end up giving
not just grades, but bonus points or re
wards for a fumble recovery or a big play.
Sometimes these sessions sound like an
end of the season banquet. Or maybe an
end of the career roast.
“It all depends on your emphasis,” the
coach says. “You may be using the grades
to keep track of a certain player, whether
he’s loafing or not playing, according to
your scheme. Is he popping up on certain
plays because he’s doing something ex
tremely well or because the scheme dic
tates that? You may be using the grades to
motivate. If one player grades out at 55
percent, and you’re getting by with him,
well, it may not be because he’s getting
beat but just that he hasnt been in with
anybody. Is he an underachiever who just
makes the big play? A low grade may
motivate him. Or you may be using them
to see where one player is in relation to
another.”
The coach goes on. “The other thing
grades give a coach,” he says, chuckling,
“is some more figures to work with.
Where would we be without our num
bers?”

and scan far downf ield to pick out targets
seemed passe. There was no room in the
game any more for a strictly dropback
passer, the conventional wisdom went.
Professionals continued to draft with
different priorities than college coaches
recruited. But even in the pro game, the
kind of throws that Johnny Unitas
popularized—and Don Hutson pulled in,
years before Unitas was born—moved
into the background.
At all levels of the game, the thinking
was that defenses had defused the bomb.
Zone coverages and more sophisticated
pass-rush techniques were too much for
an arm and swift legs to counter, the
game's statistics said.
In'l964, Jerry Rhome and Howard Twilley played pitch-and-catch, old-style, for
Tulsa. Rhomedefied that two-out-ofthree-are-bad theory by throwing for 32
touchdowns with only four interceptions.
They hadn’t invented anything like a pass

they did, they looked back and found that
what Rhome did that year was the most
efficient passing anyone of any era ever
had managed—on anywhere near that
volume, anyway.
Rhome’s 1964 season graded out to
172.6, and no one else really was even
close. The next-best figure for one of the
recognized national passing champions
was 161.7—by wee Davey O’Brien of
Texas Christian in 1938.
Twilley was Rhome’s main target and
the national receiving leader. He caught
95 passes, 13 of them for touchdowns.
In 1975, the national pass-catching
leader was Bob Farnham of Brown, with
56 receptions in nine games. Two went
for touchdowns. The national leader in
1981, Pete Harvey of North Texas State,
caught three for touchdowns.
That touches on a whole separate argu
ment. Colleges are grading their receivers
with the wrong kind of yardstick. It’s as
sensible to pick the national receiving
leader by average number of receptions
per game as it would be to say the national
rushing leader is the man who has the
most carries. Productivity is the key, and

averaged 137.3 yards per game with his
62 catches for 1,510 yards for Fresno
State. The NCAA ranked him only No. 5 in
the nation for his 5.6 catches per game,
although national leader Vincent White of
Stanford (6.8 catches per game) produced
less than half the yards that Ellard did
(677, or 67.7 per game, or less than 10
yards per catch, compared to Ellard’s
24.4).
However, there was an Ellard, and
there were bombs again. It’s all there in
the numbers.
Rhome himself says numbers are the
whole story: There are more passes,
therefore there are more long passes.
Rhome makes his living now as the
quarterback coach for the Super Bowl
champion Washington Redskins, which
means he keeps a close eye on pro and
college trends—ever-mindful of the an-
^^Sure^ three things can
happen when a pass is
thrown ... One is so sen
sationally rewarding ifs
worth all the risk—when
the pass is long and deep^
the classic ^bombi”
nual draft.
“I think the bomb has always been
there,” he said. "But the ball is being
thrown more now. You can’t just throw
short passes.
"We all went through the period with
two-deep safeties, which makes it tough
to throw the bomb. That made it easier to
throw the 20- and 25-yard passes, so now
they’ve changed to take that way and the
long ball can be thrown.
"Does that mean the bomb is back? I
can’t predict the future. The situation dic
tates what you do. Things change.”
The man whose thinking on the passing
game is having an increasing effect on
both college and professional football. Bill
Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers, also
goes to the numbers to say "the long pass
is definitely a big factor in football.
"Look at the average per attempt. When
it’s above 7.5, you’re completing some
‘bombs.’ Any time the average gets in the
high sevens and low eights, that’s what
you’re doing.”
The most efficient passer in college
football last year, Tom Ramsey of UCLA,
averaged 9.08yards per pass.

John Elway of Stanford averaged an
even 8.00, and Duke’s Ben Bennett, leader
among the prolific passers returning this
year, averaged 8.11 yards every time he
put the ball in the air.
Ramsey hit for 21 touchdowns; Elway,
24; Bennett, 20. The bombs were flying,
from West Coast to East.
There even are signs that already the
college game is working to counter the
new influence.
"I love to throw it long,” said a major
college coach known for his leanings to
wards the passing game.
“But last year, we had a top passing
quarterback and we ran into so many de
fenses that had decided, ‘We’ll just give
him a whole bunch of short ones,’ we had
to go away from the long throw.
"In fact, we went so much the other
way, people started questioning whether
our QB really had a good arm.
Michigan’s Anthony Carter was dangerous catching bombs or passes underneath coverage
with room to maneuver.
“For some people the bomb is coming
back, but not for us last year. Now, this
year, we'll have a new quarterback, and
maybe our opponents will give us some
room.
“It is tougher to throw the bomb in col
lege than in the pros. You can bang the
receivers around a lot more under the
rules we have right now.”
However, another trend of the modern
game is toward getting better and better
athletes at the wide receiver spots. Some
of the best ballcarriers in the college
game now, trim and swift athletes who
might have been spot-duty running backs
and kick-return specialists when every
one was running I-formation or Wish
bone offenses, are showing their skills af
ter they catch passes now—or in eluding
defenses to get open for bombs.
More and more colleges have been
putting trackmen at the wide spots. Ten
nessee has done it for years, and last year,
the Vols had the only two world-ranked
track athletes who (1) played majorcollege football and (2) were taken in the
NFL draft. Willie Gault, who went :10.10
in the 100 meters and :13.26 in the high
hurdles, and Mike Miller, whose sprint
times were :10.11 and :20.15, were the two
Vols, and they were football regulars, not
trackmen who were listed on the football
roster.
Remember Ellard? He was a 25-foot
long jumper and 54-foot triple jumper for
Fresno State, bespeaking both speed and
agility. And there are a host of others.
The beauty of the bomb is that hitting
one forces a respect for it from every op
ponent the rest of the year. Maybe even
longer. Former Michigan receiver An
thony Carter had Wolverine opponents
terrified from the moment he electrified
a typical 100,000-plus Michigan Stadium
crowd with a breakaway touchdown
catch at the gun to win a game against In
diana his freshman year.
With Carter, there remained ever after
the “bomb” threat, but he represented the
new athlete at the spot, the man equally
dangerous when allowed to cut in front of
deep defenders and catch the football in
an area requiring an open-field tackle.
The artistry of the game once repre
sented by Red Grange, or Glenn Davis, or
Herman Wedemeyer, or any of the other
“swivel-hipped” broken-field runners of
yore now may be coming back with the
wide-outs.
Grange, after all, was 5-10 and 170.
What a wide-out he’d have been!

MEET
THE PUNTER
jby A, J. Carr, Raleigh News-Observer
n a game where teamwork is con
stantly practiced and preached, the
punter is a staunch individualist.
He stands around a lot, watching and
waiting. He often works out at the “other
end” of the field. And when he does go
into the game, he lines up about 15 yards
behind everybody else.
His actual playing time on Saturday af
ternoon might be 60 seconds or less.
But regardless of the jokes about kick
ers being different, the punter is an inte
gral part of any team. Games are some
times won, or lost, by the flick of a foot.
His performance can eject his team
from a deep hole and put his opponents
into one, creating a sudden, significant
switch in field position, emotional edge or
I
momentum.
“Every time we punt, we see it as a pos
sible 40-45 yard gain,” said one coach.
Like shopping at a variety shoe store,
coaches find punters in different shapes,
sizes and styles.
The prototype would probably be tall
and slender with excellent body flex
ibility, plus an ability to kick for distance
and height and enough hang-time to allow
linemen to circle under a receiver.
“But the worst thing you can do is clone
punters, make them all kick the same
way,” said the coach. “I pay more attention
to results.”
To get results, a punter’s head can be as
important as his foot.
“A guy has to have a stable personality,”
the coach continued. “From a conformity
standpoint, I do look for personality and
attitude.
“There are a lot of players who kick far
that don’t turn out as punters because
they dont have good work habits or a
good attitude. I also want a guy who con
siders himself to be a football player, not
just a punter. I want him to think he is
punting because no one else on the team
does it better than he does.”
Some start punting, just for kicks, in
back yards or fool around before prac
tice. Others take the methodical route
through youth Punt, Pass and Kick
contests.
continued
PUNTER
One noted southern punter kicked only
twice in his high school career because
another player had a stronger foot. But
once in college he made all-conference by
booming the ball.
But regardless of how punters start
kicking or what their style is, all of these
specialists have to deal with the psychol
ogy and pressure of a delicate job. And no
matter how many times they swing their
foot, they cant completely kick those ele
ments away.
"You’ve got to be ready mentally as well
as physically,” said one hooter. "Before I
go out for each punt, I think positive, pic
ture myself making a good kick (some call
this psycho-cybernetics).”
Still, insidious, negative thoughts pene
trate their consciousness at times.
They worry about the wind, wonder if
the snap from center will be good, or if
some menacing defensive lineman will
blitz through and block the kick or maybe
force them to run for their life.
One of the nation’s premier punters viv
idly remembers when, in a crucial mo
ment of a crucial game, he kicked into a
35-mile per hour wind and saw the ball
flutter to the turf four yards beyond the
line of scrimmage.
He felt like hiding in the huddle.
"You put a lot of pressure on yourself,”
said the punter. "You want to make each
kick your best. Also, you think about peo
ple in the stands. If you dont get a good
one off, everybody boos you.”
A former standout college punter now
playing pro football equates the pressure
a kicker feels to that of a pinch-hitter in
baseball.
"You dont get into the flow of the game
as a pinch-hitter or punter,” he said. "And
when you kick, it’s sort of a one-shot deal.
When you miss a punt, that’s it. It’s hard to
make up for a mistake. There is a pre
mium on evpry kick.”
Punters dont simply drop back and
punt. Different situations demand certain
types of kicks; a short, angle shot to the
coffin-corner; high and deep; short and
high inside the 20, etc.
30t
The pressure on a punter Is similar to that
felt by a pInch-hItter In baseball.
For that reason, a punter’s average
doesnt always serve as an accurate ba
rometer for measuring his success.
To master these diverse touches, one
kicker figured he booted between 100150 punts per day in practice, until he
started saving his leg for later in the
week.
Though there is enough for the punter
to concentrate on during idle moments on
the sidelines, his mind is still apt to wan
der, especially with all the distractions at
a college football game.
A couple of punters confessed to girl
watching while standing on the sidelines.
Both could rank their opponents’ best
looking cheerleaders.
"But I don’t want the coach to catch me
(looking),” said one. "He’d get on my case.”
Kickers also have their quirks. One suc
cessful punter has worn the same shoe
for four straight years and doesnt plan to
change any time soon.
Others boot ’em barefooted to get a
better "feel” for the ball.
Some try to combine the talents of
placekicking and punting, but one said
kicking off the tee "messed up” his punt
ing due to a difference in technique.
Regardless, kickers find that some
people still get a big kick out of poking fun
at them.
A witty coach once cracked that if he
died, he would like to be reincarnated as a
placekicker because they have such an
easy lifestyle.
"People kid us,” said one talented
punter. "But that doesn’t matter. We are
just as much a part of the team as they
(other players) are.”
This punter runs wind sprints, lifts
weights, does stretching exercises and
attempts to perform many of the same
duties as the regular players.
"Punters dont have to be particularly
strong,” he said. "But strength and quick
ness could be important. You might need
to tackle somebody one day.”
Indeed, punters are sometimes the only
defender between the return man and
the goal line. And on occasion, they are
forced to pick up a bad snap and scramble
like a tailback, or fake a kick and go for it.
But it’s during these suspenseful mo
ments that coaches almost flip over their
clipboards.
Punters also have been known to put on
"Hollywood” acts. They fall purposefully
after booming the ball, pretending to
have been roughed by a big, tough
rusher.
Sorry guys, no more Academy Awards
for you.
A new rule in the 1983 season will per
mit the official to throw an unsportsman
like conduct flag against the punter who
tries such a trick.
Punters must earn their praise by punt
ing. And outstanding ones abound
throughout the nation.
The arm might be awesome in the cur
rent passing craze of college football, but
the foot is still formidable and the punter
very important.
Just ask any coach facing a fourth and
long on his own 20.

DICKKAZMAIER
All-America & Heisman Trophy Wiimer by Jay Dunn, Trentonian
To Dick Kazmaier the 1951 Heis
man Trophy was no big deal.
When he was presented the tro
phy his reaction was little more than a po
lite shrug. He gave the hardware to his
father, who in turn donated it to Prince
ton University.
A few weeks later Michigan State quar
terback Al Dorow, who was Kazmaier’s
teammate in the East-West Shrine Game,
proclaimed that Kazmaier could not have
made the Spartan team and surely did not
deserve the Heisman.
Kazmaier as much as shrugged again.
"That was his opinion,” he said years later.
“He’s entitled to that.”
The sort of thing to which Kazmaier did
react was a newspaper article written by
Joe Knack, sports editor of the Toledo
(Ohio) Blade. Knack, who was familiar
with the high-powered football programs
in the Big Ten, made the trip to Princeton
to do a story on the Maumee, Ohio, young
ster who was causing a weekly frenzy at
Old Nassau. When he finally caught up to
the campus legend he found him working
at his part-time job—driving a laundry
truck.
Knack was flabbergasted. So were his
readers when they read his story.
"That one (article) I particularly appre
ciated,” Kazmaier remembers.
The story of Richard William Kazmaier,
Jr. is much more than the story of a man
who was extremely gifted at running
with and throwing a football. It is the
story of a man who chose to manifest
these gifts in an academic atmosphere
that was quite foreign to the decades
which spawned many post-war Heisman
Trophy winners.
It could be argued that his Heisman was
a product of the times, but that would un
fairly diminish his accomplishments on
the gridiron.

been rocked by two scandals—one that
cut the heart out of Army’s football team
and another involving point-shaving in
basketball, which nearly ruined that
sport. Academicians were crying out
with increasing alarm about “football
factories."
Into this atmosphere came Kaz, playing
at a university where football was re
garded as little more than an extra
curricular activity with grandstands. On
one fateful day during his junior year Kaz
received notification from the Associated
Press that he had been chosen All-Amer
ica and notification from Princeton Uni
versity that his scholarship had been sus
pended because his grade-average was .2
below the figure required for a student to
be eligible for financial aid.
The nation’s media, weary of reporting
scandals, flocked to Princeton and Kaz
maier. Time even made him its cover
story, pointing out in the lead paragraph
the differences between Princeton’s ap
proach to the game and that of schools
utilizing "huge hired hands taking snap
courses .. .”
Perhaps the electors would have
flocked to him on the flimsiest of pre
tenses. We’ll never know. The season he
had was solid Heisman.
Kaz was one of the last great single wing
tailbacks. In 1951 he led the nation in total
offense, rolling up 966 yards through the
air and 861 on the ground. He did this de
spite the fact that he frequently did not
play in the second half. Coach Charlie
Caldwell had such an aversion to running
up a score that Kaz’s back-ups combined
for more playing time than he received.
He completed 62.6 percent of his passes
and concluded his career with a threeyear figure of 59.5, which at the time was
an NCAA record.
Despite the fact that he had made it
clear he was not interested in profes
sional football, he was drafted by the Chi
cago Bears. Even the usually persuasive
George Halas could not talk him into
changing his mind and joining the NFL.
Instead Kaz enrolled in the Harvard Busi
ness School.
Admittedly, in 1952 Harvard Business
School graduates generally commanded
larger salaries than professional athletes,
but there was more to the decision than
that.
"I didn’t think I wanted another experi
ence in athletics, ” Kazmaier said, “when
I’d just had the best you could find. ”
He didLnot, however, forsake the game
he loves. Today he is not only president of
his own enterprise, Kazmaier Associates,
but also finds time to serve as chairman of
the National Football Association.
Kaz had been a successful T-quarterback in high school and received more

In Princeton’s exciting victory over Cornell in ’51, Kaz dominated the game with his offensive
performance.
than 20 offers of athletic scholarships
when he graduated. But, heeding the ad
vice of his father, he spurned all of them
when he was accepted at Princeton. Iron
ically, it took the Tigers more than two
years to realize what they had.
The admissions officer who recom
mended Kazmaier be accepted did so
with the notation: “Fine boy. Excellent
record. Has played football and other
sports in high school but too small to play
college football.”
That was also the view of the Tiger
coaching staff, even after Kaz filled out to
carry 171 pounds on his 5-11 frame. He
was a defensive back on the freshman
team for a time before convincing the
coaches to shift him to offense.
The single-wing, however, was never
designed for the light, quick back. When
Kaz reached varsity level as a sophomore,
Caldwell soon recognized his talents but
continued to believe the youngster was
too frail to play the position full time.
He changed his mind a year later and
the result was astounding. The 1950 Ti
gers rolled to a 9-0 record, won the Lam
bert Trophy and were ranked sixth na
tionally by the AP. A year after Kaz had a
less talented supporting cast, but Prince
ton repeated that feat. No one could fig
ure out how to stop the tailback, es
pecially on the running pass—the
single-wing equivalent to a quarterback
rollout.
“He whipsawed people to death with it,”
remembered Dick Colman, who was an
assistant coach at the time. “He was such a
great runner and great passer. If they
dropped back to cover his passes, he’d
run. If they stayed up, he’d throw over
them.”
Kaz was never better than on the after
noon of October 27 when Princeton tan
gled with Cornell in a battle of unbeaten
powers that drew national attention. In
stead of a classic showdown, the 49,000
fans witnessed a classic show. Princeton
annihilated the Big Red, 53-15, with Kaz
accounting for more than 70 percent of
the offense. He ran for 154 yards and
passed for 206, completing 15 of 17 at
tempts.
It was the sort of performance that
made a lasting impression on anyone who
saw it, including Boston Globe sports edi
tor Jerry Nason. Years later Nason wrote:
I had observed Cagle and Booth, Blan
chard and Davis, the magnificent Clint
Frank, Bertelli at his best, Gilmer, Sinkwich, Harmon—but never Grange—yet
Kazmaier of October 27, 1951, stands
more sharply etched against the back
drop of time than any. Possibly never in
the history of intercollegiate football
had one player so conclusively imposed
his will upon an outstanding opponent
as Kaz did that afternoon.
That game, more than any other,
brought Kaz the Heisman. But, in typical
fashion, Dick is much more proud of his
play seven days later when Princeton de
feated a rugged Brown team, 12-0, in mud
and snow.
“I had to work extra hard that day,” he
explained. “The game was played in im
possible conditions. The weather took
our running pass and outside game away.
We had to go in a straight line.”
You’d never convince Brown that wasn’t
Kaz’s preference. He rambled for 262
yards and scored both touchdowns.
Not even Mother Nature could find a
way to stop Dick Kazmaier.

CREEHAN BUILDS A NATIONAL CONTENDER
Head Coach - Denny Creehan
Edinboro embarked on a new era of football four years
ago with the appointment of Dennis Creehan as the ninth
head football coach in the University's history. Under his
leadership the Fighting Scots raced to one of Edinboro's
finest grid seasons ever this past year with a glittering 9-2
record, the Pennsylvania Conference Western Division
Championship and a 12th place national ranking among
NCAA Division II schools throughout the country.
Enroute to their highly successful campaign the Scots
figured in 20 team and individual records which were
either ^^ed or broken. Twelve new marks were established
while eight other records were tied. The Scots offense
finished in high gear averaging 26.7 points per game while
a stingy defensive unit yielded only 10 points per contest.
Edinboro was ranked eighth nationally during the year
before dropping a tightly contested 24-22 clash with East
Stroudsburg for the Pennsylvania Conference Champion
ship.
Creehan was a captain of Edinboro State's 1970 team
that captured the Lambert Bowl, emblematic of the best

college football team in the East, won the Pennsylvania
Conference Championship and earned a berth in the NAIA
national playoffs. He starred in the secondary as a strong
safety that season when the Fighting Scots finished their
regular campaign undefeated with a 9-0 record.
Prior to a three-year stint on the Edinboro staff as an
assistant, Creehan served as recruiting coordinator at the
University of Pittsburgh in 1974 under Coach Johnny
Majors. The following year ho was a member of the
Carnegie-Mellon University football staff as the team's
offensive coordinator.
Upon graduation from Edinboro in 1971, Creehan was
named offensive coordinator at Keystone Oaks High School
in Pittsburgh where he directed an offense that netted 300
yards per game. A year later as Keystone Oaks' defensive
coordinator, he tutored a unit that allowed only eight points
per game and permitted only a 33 percent completion mark
by opposing quarterbacks.
Creehan distinguished himself in the coaching ranks
as defensive coordinator at Edinboro in 1976 when the
Scots were ranked fourth among the nation's NCAA
schools in rushing defense and claimed 18 interceptions.
In the spring of 1977, he performed as acting head coach
for Edinboro's Bill McDonald who was on a sabbatical
leave.
The young mentor has likewise had an outstanding
athletic career as a football player. After starring as both a
halfback and strong safety at Bethel Park High School, the
Castle Shannon, Pa., native accumulated numerous grid
iron honors at Edinboro. At the conclusion of his senior
campaign for the Fighting Scots, he was accorded first
team All-East honors by the ECAC and first team All-State
Associated Press accolades as the Scots' strong safety. In
addition, ho was named to the Pittsburgh Press All-District
first team and to the NAIA District 18 All-Star squad. He
was one of the three 1970 captains who accepted Edin
boro's Lambert Bowl trophy at the Lambert Awards
Banquet in New York City.
The 33-year-old coach's .575 winning percentage
record via his four-year total of 23-16-1 moved him to
second place in the win category behind his previous head
coach Bill McDonald who holds a .614 rating with a 54-34-7
mark.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Creehan of Bethel Park,
the Fighting Scot coach resides in Edinboro with his wife,
Linda, and their two sons, Kevin and Casey.

to a hand-buffed exterior finish. It's attention to detail, too.
Like push-button air. And aluminum alloy wheels. You've got to drive
this car... and experience the Cadillac touch. Cimarron '84.

THE
TWO-QUARTERBACK
SYSTEM
by Bob Payne, The Tacoma News Tribune
You might think one of college
football's leading exponents of
the two-quarterback system,
now a coach, would be revealed as an old
quarterback-hater. A defensive end, may
be. A jealous offensive guard, at least.
Not so. Turns out he was a quarterback
himself, and if this means he must turn in
his union card, so be it.
“I’ve tried over the years not to get
caught in any syndrome. I don’t want to
be a ‘systems’ person,” he said.
“So, I’ve changed a lot. At one time, I
guess I was a real one-quarterback guy.
But now I’ve played with two and I believe
that if you commit to a two-quarterback
system, you’ll always find ways to play
two guys and the team will be better off.
"But,” he added, “I know I’m totally in
the minority on this.”
And, from the sound of other coaches,
he’ll stay there.
Said one coaching rival, “My philosophy
is to try to establish a quarterback early—
make him the guy you’re going to go with
until he proves you wrong.”
Another coach concurs. “I can see some
advantages to the two-quarterback sys
tem, but I think you have to make a com
mitment to a kid. I’ve always felt the quar
terback was such a key guy, you’ve got to
start grooming him from the first, to let
him know he’s your man.
“I know from my own experience how
important it is for a quarterback to know
the job is his. He needs that confidence.”
But even adamant opponents of the
two-quarterback system acknowledge
that it can work. One exponent claims,
continued
Proponents say one advantage of the two-quarterback system is
that while one leads the team on the field...
... the second remains “in the game” by coordinating with
coaches in the play selection process.

TWO-QUARTERBACK SYSTEM
continued
“Everybody I’ve seen use it—really com
mit to it—has had success.” He was includ
ing his own team, which had its finest
year when he went to a full twoquarterback system.
"People forget I grew up in the age of
one-platoon football,” he said. "When I
was in college, I not only had to play quar
terback, I had to play defense, too.
“Since everybody played both ways,
and you couldn’t go in but twice a quarter,
we had ‘platoons’ that went both ways. In
theory I’d play half the quarter and then
come off the field when the other team
came in. In reality, I ended up playing as
an alternating quarterback.
"Quarterbacks do have to be treated a
little differently, I agree on that,” con
tinued the coach. “But I disagree that you
have to decide on one early. Quarterbacks
by nature always want to be No. 1 —
neither will accept that he’s No. 2. In a
sense, I guess playing two quarterbacks
all the time keeps you from having to tell
one guy he’s No. 2.
"When a kid is in a two-quarterback sit
uation, he knows he’s going in—but he
also knows he’s coming out. He has that
security. He is convinced that he’s really
No.l.
“We went to this idea in a year when our
top two quarterbacks were guys of really
different talents. We decided to use both
of them—maybe because we couldn’t de
cide between them. But it worked. The
team had confidence that both of them
could lead.
"I don’t ever want to go back to the other
way.”
Most coaches see some value in using
quarterbacks of differing talents.
"In an option situation, I could see it,”
said one head coach. “I mean, if you get
’way behind, late, with an option offense,
then you’re going to want to go to your
passing quarterback, to take advantage of
his abilities.
"In our system, we throw the ball, so
we’re obviously going to go with the best
passer. Period.”
"One time, we had one kid who was an
excellent dropback, sprint-out type of
passer and another who was more of a
rollout, option type. In certain games,
against certain defenses, we could
change up and take advantage,” said a
two-quarterback coach.
"A team always reflects the personality
of its quarterback,” he continued, "and in
some cases, the abilities. Our two guys
were different in abilities—not as much
as people thought, but different. The im
portant thing was how the other teams
perceived them—one a drop-back passer,
the other an option, sprint-out type.
46t
Some coaches use quarterbacks of different talents in different situations.
“So when the sprint-out guy came in,
you’d see people widen their defense,
which is why he became an excellent
three-step dropback passer—everybody
on defense was playing ‘laterally.’ And the
dropback guy, because defenses would
fall off and look for him to throw, became
a better runner.
"As a result,” said the coach, "while
everybody was worrying about our quar
terbacks, our inside running game be
came better than it should have been—we
led the conference in rushing!
“We pursued two strengths and capital
ized on the different things people feared
in our two quarterbacks.”
How does a coach develop a strategy for
the two- quarterback system?
"I do think you do have to settle on who
is the starter—the prober—and who is
the off-the-bench guy. Otherwise,
though, we just sort of play it by ear,” said
one coach.
‘‘Of course, the guys are commu
nicating all the time. The one who’s not on
the field is beside me all the time.
"One of the good points about the sys
tem is that the second quarterback is with
you all the time, in on the play selection.
really in the game.”
“We work with two quarterbacks all the
time,” said another coach. "In practice our
No. 2 guy is going to be involved with the
first team one-third of the time.
“One year, late in the season, our No. 1
guy went down. The first team was al
ready used to working with the No. 2. In
fact, the team was really inspired to help
the backup succeed, so there was some
real excitement out there, a real pulling
together.”
Another coach pointed out, “This year’s
backup is next year’s starting quarter
back. Ideally, you bring along No. 2
slowly, play him when you can, maybe in
a tight spot once or twice, so he’ll be ready
either if No. 1 goes down or for the next
year.”
It appears, then, there really isn’t any
such thing as a "one-quarterback system.”
It’s just a matter of when, and how often,
the second gets to play.
Said the two-quarterback exponent, “I
just hate to see a quality kid standing on
the sidelines. All of us want to have at
least three quality quarterbacks in our
program, so why leave two of them
sitting?”

Historians deep in the 21st Century may
not understand why this remarkable man
was for football’s ages.
He left no distinctive attack formation,
as did Knute Rockne, Pop Warner, Don
Faurot, Darrell Royal and Bill Yeoman. No
particular defense bears his name, nor
Alabama’s.
Bryant led no crusades, in athletics or
sociology. He championed no causes.
Yet... he left his footprints, giant ones,
in his profession, which was teaching
boys.
For the last 15 or 20 years of his busy,
busy life, Paul Bryant was America’s folk
hero, its Daniel Boone-Davy CrockettBuffalo Bill-Teddy Roosevelt-Alvin York
-young Charles Lindbergh-Will Rogerstype.
He recognized that. He loved it, but
didn’t have to change his hat size.
Charles Nesbitt’s story illustrates
Bryant’s fame afar.
Nesbitt is a Birmingham News photo
grapher. He vacations most summers in
the West, with his family, backpacking.
He was in Wyoming three years ago,
two days of hiking from the fringes of
so-called civilization. He and two sons
located a trout bonanza. The fun lasted
until the rocks of the mountain stream
claimed their last fishing flies.
The next morning, deeper into the wil
derness, they chanced on a rough cabin.
There was life in it, a grizzled old chap
who had to enjoy loneliness.
There was a chat, and an off-hand Nes
bitt question: “You dont happen to have
any fishing flies, do you. Mister?’’Yes, this
descendant of Kit Carson replied, and his
guests were welcome to a few.
Charity dispensed, the old man evi-
dently was curious. “Where you folks
from?” he asked.
"Alabama," Nesbitt answered.
"Alabama?” went an echoing reply,
"what’s Ole Bear gonna have this year?”
Bryant enjoyed hearing that story. He
enjoyed friends, not opponents, laughing
at him.
Little Rock attorney Ike Murray was a
Bryant teammate at Fordyce (Ark.) High.
They played on two state championship
teams. No man rivaled Murray in telling
Bryant teen-age stories:
"I met Bryant when he stumbled into
the seventh grade (the Bryant family of 14

lived six miles out of town, in an un
painted farm shack in Moro Bottom). I
mean stumbled—he was the awkwardest
country boy IVe ever known. Country? I
mean rural, real rural.
He wasn’t an Einstein in the classroom
either. If I’d been writing our senior class
prophecy, I would have guessed Bear
would wind up in the penitentiary.
“He winds up being a teacher. A dern
good one, too, right?”
Frank Howard, of Clemson fame, was a
Bryant coach at Alabama. The Bard of
Barlow Bend could raise welts on
Bryant’s rawhide skin.
“We got him a job cutting grass on the
campus," Howard tells it. ““It was three
weeks before he quit saying “gee,’ “haw’
and “whoa’ to the lawnmower.”
All-time blind golf champion Charley
Boswell could delightfully prick Bryant’s
ego about that ancient game.
““One day Bryant was having a normal
round—bad—and blaming clubs, course,
weather, balls, and finally the caddy.
““You are probably the worst caddy in
the world,” Bryant fumed.
The caddy replied he didn’t think so.
Bryant wanted to know why.
“‘That, Mr. Bear,” the caddy answered,
“would be too much of a coincidence.”
Through the years stories such as those
will attach themselves to the Bryant leg
end, as they did about Abe Lincoln. His
sayings will multiply as have those of Confucious.
Bryant facts are in stone. There was
substance to the American Dream he rep
resented, the poor farm boy who grew
and grew until he walked a mountain top
in his profession—323 coaching victor
ies—the college record.
Notre Dame’s Rockne was voted the out
standing coach of the 20th Century’s first
half. Bryant will be that man in the last
half.
The man behind those wins, as in
Rockne’s case, was more interesting than
the numbers his teams flicked on scoreboards.
All sorts of testimony is available on
Bryant’s personality and professionalism.
“A true American hero,” President Ron
ald Reagan declared in awarding the Pres
idential Medal of Freedom to Bryant’s
family a month after his January 26
death.
"American sports embody the best in
our national character: dedication, team
work, honor and friendship . . . Bear
Bryant gave his country the gift of a leg
end. In making the impossible seem easy,
he lived what we all strive to be.”
The six national championships his Ala
bama teams won formed prideful Bryant
memory. He loved mention of that feat—
but not as much as his reading the roll of
Bryant started as an Alabama end in 1934.
successes by his former players.
Paul Crane, All-America center, 1965,
now a Mobile businessman, said of Bryant
on January 27:
“I feel like all his players do. We have
lost a part of our foundation.
“'There are two phases of coaching.
There is the winning side, the records,
who won the most, who did the most.
““But there is another side, the re
lationship with young men, developing
young people. Outside people remember
Coach Bryant for football accomplish
ments but inside people remember him
for the other side of coaching.”
Bryant’s star began to twinkle as an Ala
bama sophomore end in 1933 under
Frank Thomas, head coach, a Notre Dame
quarterback when George Gipp played.
In 1934, on a Tide which won all, includ
ing a 29-13 Rose Bowl game against Stan
ford, Bryant was a starter on the end
opposite Don Hutson.
Bryant played most of his senior season
with what turned out to be a broken leg. It
hurt, but, so what.
He was four years assistant at Alabama,
then two years assistant head coach to
Red Sanders at Vanderbilt.
The day after Pearl Harbor he volun
teered into the Navy. There was some ship
duty, but mostly he was assigned coach
ing duty, at North Carolina and Georgia.
Maryland made him head coach in
1945. He quit the next spring, with a 6-2-1
record. Maryland president Curly Byrd
fired a Bryant assistant and reinstated a
Bryant-suspended player while the head
coach was off campus. The head coach
quit when he heard about that.
Kentucky hired him immediately. The
Wildcats had never won an SEC cham
pionship and had an 8-20-1 record the
three previous years.
The Wildcats immediately went 7-3,
the first time UK had won seven football
games in 34years.
Kentucky was 10-1 in 1950, SEC champ
and broke Oklahoma’s 51-game unbeaten
string in the Sugar Bowl, 13-7.
Bryant moved to Texas A&M in 1954,
starting with a 1-9 season, his only losing
year. Two years later the Aggies went
9-0-1.
Alabama called him back in 1958, to a
disaster situation. The Tide had ebbed to a
4-24-2 three-year record.
Bryant’s maiden year, Bama was 5-4-1.
It did not go to a bowl. All other Bryant
Tides did, 24 in a record row.
He marched on and on toward Amos
Alonzo Stagg’s 314-mark. He got there in
1982.
During the 1970s, Bryant teams won
103 games (around 16 losses and a tie).
That was a record, too.
Bryant coached 65 first-team AllAmericas, which is not a high. But the 46
former players or assistant coaches of his
who became head coaches in college or
pro competition is a high, all-time No. 1.
There’ll be others.
He never quit rising with the rooster,
nor going to bed with the owl. He could
never wind down, relax, do nothing.
He was a sucker for an invitation, from
a friend seeking a speaker; for a charity
needing a broad shoulder.
A dozen years before his death he en
dowed a $100,000 scholarship fund at
Alabama for non-football students. As
happily as a kid putting money in a piggybank, Bryant added to the pot each year.
The base figure now approaches a half
million bucks.
He could have run for governor in his
state, and won. He chose not to run.
His work ethics, discipline demands,
unselfishness of time and money, his in
sistence on “class,’ captured his state's
attention first, then the nation’s.
His pre-game ritual, hat over his eyes,
gun-fighting glint in his eyes, leaning
against a goal post, was pure theater.
Cameramen loved it.
His teams played as if hounds of hell
yipped at his heels. They seldom lost.
When they did, there was no alibi, no
blaming officials, nothing but praise for
the winner.
Bryant could coach. That opinion be
came unanimous after the 1978 Sugar
Bowl.
Alabama had just whipped Ohio State,
35-6, and Bryant was before TV cameras
with his old friend Woody Hayes, Ohio
State coach.
Bryant spent a minute or so talking
about the game, and a couple of minutes
more lauding Hayes.
He finished with a grin and this line:
"Woody’s one helluva coach—and I ain’t
bad.”

MEET THE NEW MEMBERS
OF THE COLLEGE
FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME
Eleven new members of the Na
tional Football Foundation’s Col
lege Football Hall of Fame will be
formally inducted at a ceremony in New
York City on December 6,1983. The selec
tions were made by the Foundation’s Hon
ors Court and include six linemen and
five backs, all of whom won All-America
acclaim.
Dick Butkus was a University of Illi
nois linebacker from 1962-64. He was
known for his strength, speed and agility,
plus what sportswriters termed an "un
canny” ability to size up opponents’ plays.
His coach, Pete Elliott, said of Butkus that,
“Only once in three years was he out of
position in defending against screen pas
ses ... He is the finest football player I
ever coached.” Butkus set an all-time Illini
single game, single season and career
tackle record. Among his accom
plishments was making or assisting in 23
tackles against Ohio State as a junior. He
was a two-time All-America and was
named 1964’s Player of the Year by the
American Football Coaches Association.
In ’63 Butkus led Illinois to a Big Ten title
and to victory over Washington in the
Rose Bowl. He was named to the all-time
Big Ten team in 1970. Following college he
had an excellent pro football career, and
is now an actor-commentator for Nautilus
Sports Medical Industries.

William Fischer, a two-time AllAmerica guard, was a star for Notre
Dame. During his college career the Irish
had three undefeated seasons, 1946
through '48. Fischer played at tackle as a
freshman, then was switched to guard
under Coach Frank Leahy the following
year. At the end of Fischer’s junior season,
during which he served as team captain,
he was voted the nation’s outstanding
lineman by the Touchdown Club of Wash
ington, and was awarded the Outland
Trophy. In the 1949 East-West Shrine
Game, Fischer was named captain of the
East team, which defeated the West 14-12.
Fischer participated in the Chicago Tri
bune All-Star Game after his final season
with the Irish and was named the game’s
MVP. He played pro football for five
years, then served as a line coach at his
alma mater. Today he owns an automobile
agency in Michigan.
Lee Roy Jordan was the University of
Alabama’s star center from 1960-62. His
coach, the late Paul “Bear” Bryant, called
him “one of the finest football players the
world has ever seen. He was a 100 percent
performer in practice and a 110 percent
performer in games.” An Alabama legend,
Jordan won All-America honors twice
and led the Crimson Tide to the national
championship in 1961. He captained the
College All-Stars to their victory over the
NFL champion Green Bay Packers. Jordan
later was an all-pro for the Dallas Cow
boys, and today is a Dallas businessman.
Charles Krueger was a Texas A&M
University tackle from 1955-57. Twice an
All-America pick (as a junior and senior),
he was also an Academic All-America.
Krueger played under the guidance of
Coach Paul Bryant, who had recruited the
big—6-4, 218 pounds—tackle from high
school. Charley started every game for
three years in college and captained the
team his senior season. That year the Ag
gies went to the Gator Bowl, where they
lost to Tennessee by a field goal. Krueger
is a member of the Texas Football Hall of
Fame, and today is a successful retail
store owner in California.
Floyd Little, a Syracuse halfback
from 1964-66, was one of the few players
ever to win All-America accolades three
times. He also was named the conference
(ECAC) player of the year in his senior sea
son. Little made the three longest punt re
turns in Syracuse history—95, 91 and 90
yards. The 5-11, 195-pound dynamo held
his school’s all-time career rushing record
until it was broken by Larry Csonka. Lit
tle gained nearly 5,000yards in his college
career, not including an additional 331
yards he accounted for in two bowl ap
pearances. Twelve times he rushed for
more than 100yards per game. After his

Lewis “Bub” McFadin played at
guard for the University of Texas at Aus
tin from 1948-50, and is regarded as one
of the Longhorns’ all-time great linemen.
McFadin, a 6-3, 245-pounder, was hon
ored as an All-America as a junior and se
nior. He played in the 1951 College All-Star
Game and was named Most Valuable
Player for his outstanding efforts. Mc
Fadin went on to serve two years in the
U.S. Air Force, then played professional
football for several years. He was an assis
tant coach for the Houston Oilers before
becoming a full-time rancher in Del Rio,
Texas.
George Owen was one of Harvard's
greatest all-around athletes, and perhaps
the best-known Crimson athlete of the
1920s. He captained both the baseball and
hockey teams and was an All-America
halfback. A true "60-minute player,"
Owen’s most exciting game was the 1921
10-3 victory over Yale, when he scored all
10 of Harvard’s points. He was also instru
mental in achieving the following year’s
win—another 10-3 victory—over the Elis.
Yale considered him such an outstanding
opponent that on the eve of his gradu
ation they sent a telegram to Harvard say
ing "Please be sure Owen graduates today
...” Following college, Owen had a stint
with the National Hockey League, then
became an investment broker. He is now
retired.
Jack Scarbath quarterbacked the
University of Maryland football team
O.J. Simpson

from 1950-52. He was a unanimous AllAmerica selection in ’52 and was runnerup to Billy Vessels for the Heisman Tro,phy. Scarbath, who was regarded by

back, led the Terrapins to 22 consecutive
victories under the coaching direction of
the late Jim Tatum. Scarbath also took his
team to a 28-13 victory over national

O.J. Simpson began his spectacular
football career at City College of San Fran
cisco, where he broke every national ju
nior college rushing and scoring record.
He racked up 54 touchdowns and in one
game scored six TD’s. Simpson then
moved to USC to play for John McKay’s
Trojans for two seasons, quickly be
coming the school’s most publicized ath
lete. In 1967 Simpson led the nation in
rushing and placed second in the Heis
man balloting. The following year he won
the Heisman and the Maxwell Trophy as
well. His great speed was combined with a
power that helped him break many
records at USC. After Simpson’s gradu
ation he had an excellent NFL career,
again breaking a series of records. He
later went on to a successful career in
television and movies.
Albert Sparlis was a guard for the
University of California, Los Angeles. He
played in 1940 and ’42 for Coach Babe
Horrel and in 1945 for Coach Bert LaBrucherie, after having served in World
War II as a pilot. That year he won AllAmerica honors. Sparlis, who played at
190 pounds, was known for his quickness
and competitive drive. A heavily deco
rated war hero, he won seven campaign
medals—three in World War II, three in
the Korean War and one in the VietNam
war. Sparlis is now an associate vicepresident for Coldwell Baker and Com

In his nine years as the head Hog,
it seems every time Eddie Sutton
turned around he was staring Abe Lem
ons or Guy V. Lewis in the face in a crucial
game. Lemons is out of the league now
but the beat goes on. Sutton and Hous
ton's Lewis will duke it out for the SWC
championship in 1983-84. The Dancing
Razorback was in his glory at Barnhill
Arena last season when the Hogs started
14-0 before losing at Houston. Arkansas
finished at 26-4, bowing out in the Mid
east Regional when it was Hog-tied by
Louisville on a tip-in at the buzzer. U of L
came back from a 16-point deficit. Turn
about was fair play. Arkansas had elimi
nated Louisville from the NCAA tour
nament in 1981 on a spectacular 50-foot
desperation shot by U.S. Reed at the final
buzzer. Tbe 1983-84 Razorbacks will have
the same look most of the Sutton teams
have had—that is, guard-oriented and
quick, quick, quick. The backline leader
of last season, Darrell Walker, is gone but

We start here with remarkable
Charles Barkley, a 272-pound
chocolate chip freak who shot 64 percent
last season, shattering an 18-year-old
school record, and who feasted on SEC
competition inside as he took down the
league rebound crown for the second
straight season. You can call him the
Round Mound of Rebound, Food World,
Breadtruck or Amana (his profile is along
the box lines of a refrigerator), but when
it comes to putting the ball in the hoop,
you’d better call him amazing. In one
the first time since 1075. Auburn couldnt
hold it in the unbelievably balanced SEC,
but with the Round Mound around this
season and help from 6-8 Chuck Person
and 6-0 Paul Daniels, Auburn could be sit
ting pretty. Coach Sonny Smith also has
eight recruits, including four blue-chip
freshmen of the bluest variety, one of
whom is 6-4 Frank Ford, who averaged 26
points and 21 boards in high school. The
Tigers’ pause on the way up in the SEC
will only be to look back.

In his heart of hearts, Boyd Grant
never believed when his Bulldogs
were 13-9 at one point last season that he
would see such a fantastic finish. FSU
came alive after Boyd abandoned his ballcontrol offense and let the Dogs run. And
run they did. FSU went 12-1 the rest of the
way, winning the NIT in the school’s first
appearance in that tournament and end

title game and a tournament MVP plaque

with two or three pizzas. At the halfway
point of the^SEC season there were six
teams tied for first place and one was Au

overwhelming. A parade on Clinton and
Cedar Streets in Fresno drew thousands

Chip Pashayan read a letter of congratu

The opposition dreads having to play at
Fresno’s Selland Arena—renamed Grant’s
Tomb by the Red Wave—where the tena
cious defensive style that Grant prefers
has helped build a record of 74-9 in six
seasons. Bernard Thompson, 6-6, and
Anderson were forces all of 1982-83, but
it was 6-4 guard Mitch Arnold and Desi
Barmore who came on like gangbusters
down the stretch. Thompson, Anderson
and Arnold return. Grant will take a long
look at 6-11 Dave Mosebar and transfers

fourth PCAA title could be in the offing
for Grant, whose record at FSU is 131-42.

110 more in the Hoyas’ 22-10 campaign. In

Army has always done. And lately, we’ve
been doing a lot more of it.
In fact, last year alone nearly 7,000
college grads chose to begin their future as
Army officers.
Why? Some wanted the opportunity
to develop valuable leadership and manage^

Others were impressed with the amount
of responsibility we give our officers starting
out. And still more liked the idea of serving
their country around the world.

What of Akeem Abdul-Olajuwon, the 7-0 center who is like a
Nigerian rose with petals yet unfolding?
The one characteristic he has not lost
since arriving in America is his inno
cence. He has remained childlike in his ea
gerness and wonderment and has seen
Americana open before him with his dis
covery of, among other things, BaskinRobbins ice cream, pancakes, Trans-Ams,
jump shots, Walkman stereos, the Rolling
Stones and Disney world.
"Akeem?” said Villanova Coach Rollie
Massimino after the big fella had un
leashed a textbook demonstration of
power basketball with 20 points, 13 re
bounds, eight blocked shots, five dunks
and one goal-tending violation as Houston
dispatched the Nova in the Midwest Re
gional. "What did I think of him? He’s a
man. He’s Moses. He’s awesome.” At 20,
Akeem already is a man-child who makes
child’s play of shot-blocking and slamdunking. He batted away an incredible
175 shot? in Houston’s 31-3 season that
ended a string of 26 straight victories in
the Cougars’ 54-52 loss to North Carolina

The Illini got so good so fast last sea

bonus. Since they appear to be a year
ahead of schedule, the speed they have
picked up just might carry them to inter
esting places in 1983-84. The outlook was
altered somewhat when guard Derek
Harper decided at the last minute to in
clude his name in the NBA draft, but
Coach Lou Henson has a wealth of talent
and he still has 6-9 Efrem Winters and 6-3
Bruce Douglas, a flashy backliner who set
school records for steals (78) and assists
(189). The Illini, minus Harper, toured
Yugoslavia in May, enabling Henson to
settle some lineup problems. Illinois won
seven of 11 games on the trip abroad as
Winters averaged 21.2 points and 11.5 re
bounds and had a high game of 40 points.
The others who fit into Henson's plans are
6-4 Doug Altenberger, 6-8 George Mont
gomery, 6-9 Scott Meents, 6-9 Anthony
Welch and 6-7 Jay Daniels. Illinois had to
win its last regular-season game to remain
in contention for a place in the NCAA
tournament. The Illini did it in a whiteknuckler, defeating Minnesota in double
overtime and putting Henson in the tour
nament for the eighth time. He took New
Mexico State to the Final Four in 1969-70

strong, too. They’ve won 101 games in the

Longshots when the NCAA tour

Raveling, Iowa will be going for its sixth

that both the head coach of the 1984 U.S.
Olympic basketball team (Indiana’s Bob
Knight) and his assistant (Raveling) will be

9.3 rebounds, blocked 30 shots and made
46 steals. Reynolds had 59 steals. Brown

You live by the sword, you die by
the sword. Same thing is true with
the press. Louisville died by it in the face
of Houston’s unrelenting splurge in a semi
final-round game in the Final Four at Al
buquerque. It was slam-ham basketball at
its best as the Coogs pounded the stuffing
out of the Cardinals in the second half
with a 21-1 explosion that in five-and-ahalf minutes wiped out a 57-49 Louisville
lead. The comeback was not only
spectacular—complete with a Phi
Slamma Jamma dunk show by Houston—
it was as brutally effective a surge as
there ever has been in a Final Four game.
Backboards at either end were war zones.
There were 18 slam-dunks and 16 blocked
shots in the game. The Coogs had 14 of the
slams, 10 in the second half en route to a
94-81 victory, and it put an end to a 32-4
season that was the second best in the his
tory of U of L hoops. It included that sto
rybook win in overtime that ousted Ken
tucky in the Mideast Regional. In the
bluegrass state you could find the thor
oughbreds at The Ville, not UK, at least

poker-faced Ralph Miller knows
whereof he speaks. Here is a man who
was playing basketball at Kansas in the
late 1930s when Phog Allen already was
experimenting with 12-foot baskets.
Miller has been the Big Ten Coach of the
Year (at Iowa), Missouri Valley Coach of
the Year (at Wichita State), and National
Coach of the Year (at Oregon State). In all
those years he has formulated his own
ideas about the game he coaches. He
would banish the slam-dunk. “Idiot's de
light," Miller calls it. “What’s so great
about a dunk? It comes from one inch. If
you put the baskets at 12 feet and some
one dunks, now I'll applaud that.” He
would applaud also a return to the top of
the Pacific-10 by his Orange Express this
season, and if he can get some inside
problems solved, UCLA will have its
hands full in the conference race with the
Beavers. To fit the glass slipper, Oregon
State needs a defensively tougher Steve
Woodside to dominate the center spot so
6-8 Charlie Sitton, a great player, can
move back to a wing with 6-8 A.C. Green
at the other wing. The Beavers shot so
poorly outside last season that all they
saw were zone defenses. Dean Derrah,
who missed last season because of knee
surgery, can pop from the perimeter. Dar
ryl Flowers will occupy one of the guard
positions. Is this the season that Miller
finally will reach the Final Four?
Tennessee-chattanooga.
Jim Master of Kentucky ranks as a top
shooting guard.

when the crowds begin stomp
ing and screaming at the Round
house, it usually is Willie White and Stan
ford Strickland who bring the Moc fans to
a fever pitch. Falk about a gift-wrapped
package. These two came to UTC together
four years ago and have been great con
tributors to three Southern Conference
titles and have helped put the Mocs into
the national consciousness as a legitimate
power. Where White is, Strickland won’t
be far behind. They room together, eat to
gether, dream together and on the floor
they have been double trouble for UTC
foes. The 6-3 White was the conference’s
most valuable player two seasons ago and
even though he averaged 18.4 points, shot
52 percent and had 74 assists last season
he had to relinquish his MVP status.
White wants it back this season. J'he 6-6
Strickland, who averaged 12.5 points and
5.5 rebounds, wants to help White get it
back and at the same time grab a fourth
league championship for the Mocs. Two
other starters, 6-6 Gerald Wilkins—the
younger brother of Dominique—and 6-1
Chris McCray return. UTC knows the eu
phoria of a national championship, hav
ing won the Division II title in 1977. The
Mocs have something more to spur them
on this season. It is the long shadow of a
30-18 halftime lead over Maryland in the
Midwest Regional that melted into a 52-51
defeat. Somebody will pay for that.
UCLA. I
As usual, there is a ton of talent in
Westwood. Whether the Bruins
can repeat as Pacific-10 champions will
depend on how well coach Lai’ry Farmer
can redefine the chemistry of his team.
Forward Kenny Fields, who has an NBA
body and the skills to match it, decided to
remain in school rather than make him
self eligible for the NBA draft. Said
Farmer of Fields’ decision: "I’m very ex
cited." Jo go with the 6-7 Fields, Farmer
has 7-0 Stuart Gray, 6-1 Montel Hatcher,
6-2 Ralph Jackson, 6-8Gary Maloncon, 6-5
Nigel Miguel and 6-10 Brad Wright. Given
the Bruin tradition in the NCAAs (60-17
record and 10 national championships), it
was a shocking finale to the 1982-83 sea
son for the Bruins when thf;y dropped
their first game of the tournament to
Utah, a team that had the worst record

The Army National Guard needs more officers.
Get in the picture. Get out front.
Right now, the Army National Guard is looking
for men and women who want to be officers.
It's a tough, challenging iob. One of the most
important jobs in America. And you'll find the rewards
match the challenge.
For instance, in the Army Guard, youll gain
valuable management and leadership sfalls you may
use in your civilian career. You'll earn an excellent parttime income and be entitled to limited space available
air travel, PX privileges, life insurance, a fully paid
retirement plan, and lots more.
Youll be serving close to home, helping people
in your community and state when natural disasters or
other emergencies arise. And, after your initial training,
it takes just two days a month and two weeks annual
training each year to serve, so youll have time for your
family, friends, school or job.
If you have previous experience as an Army
officer, you can probably join the Army Guard as an
officer. If not, and you qualify, you can get a commis
sion through an Officer Candidate Course, or a direct
appointment based on your unique civilian job
experience.
To get the total picture on opportunities for
officers in the Army National Guard, contact your local
Army Guard recruiter, or call toll-free 800-638-7600.*

WAC title. Haskins was stung by the dif
ference at the free throw line (35-12) in a
loss at Fresno State in the NIT, hut he
learned a long time ago that what goes
around comes around. He fell asleep dur
ing a chalk talk given by his college coach,
Henry Iha, at Oklahoma State. Iha woke
him up by bouncing an eraser off his head
and The Bear has been paying attention
since. Nobody slips much past streetsmart Haskins now. He is blessed with so
much talent for 1983-84 (11 superb play
ers in all) that he might have difficulty in
keeping track of them on the bench. He’ll
have Smith, 6-10Dave Feitl, 6-4 Kent Lock

In 1966 a lightning-quick team

College Park, Md., with a stunning win

shop. His orange juice tasted lousy. If
Rollie had been in a restaurant in South
Philly, he would have given his guests a
three-hour explanation of how it was that
Akeem bamboozled the best-laid plans
that the Villanova staff had for snaring
the Coogs in a trap. That’s old stuff now.
Rollie will have to proceed in the Big East
minus his dancing bear, John Pinone, who
was the heart and soul of the Cats! He had
a hand in 91 wins in four seasons and
that’s no small feat for any team in the Big
East, the brainchild of Providence’s Dave
Gavitt. This league has elbowed its way
alongside the elite (i.e.. Big Ten and ACC).
Massimino is of old world charisma. His
dad was an Italian immigrant and a New
Jersey shoemaker. His players show up at
his home at 11 p.m. for pasta and, in turn,
he runs a mandatory study hall. Not
everybody can play for him. "If you don’t
do it like I want it done, you’re history,’’
he says. He’ll begin a new era with 6-9
Ed Pinckney, 6-7 Harold Pressley, 6-6
Dwayne McClain, 6-0 Gary McLain and a
couple of giant sophs, 7-0 Chuck Everson
and 6-11 Wyatt Maker. Rollie isn’t as loud
as he once was. No more bulging, red
faced tantrums. He is killing the opposi
tion quietly now.

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

BLAIR HROVAT
A WINNER PROM CLASSROOM TO GRIDIRON
Blair Hrovat — Edinboro University Quarterback
A recent Erie Sunday paper featured Blair Hrovat as
the prime figure in an ad promoting Edinboro University's
academic programs. The name got questioning glances
from readers since it wasn't situated where Hrovat usually
commands newspaper ink—on the sports pages. Yet, its
placement was most appropriate since Hrovat's accom
plishments have become quite a scholar-athlete success
story since his arrival on the Edinboro campus.
Edinboro University's football program has been a big
winner ever since Hrovat, a junior from the Cleveland,
Ohio, suburb of Northfield, stepped to the controls. The
Nordonia High graduate got the starting nod in the final
three games of his freshman year when the Scots were
floundering at 1-6 and sparked the Plaid to three straight
wins while rejuvenating a lackluster offense to a 30 point
per game average. Since that initial start the Scots have
reeled off 19 victories in 23 tries with Hrovat orchestrating
an explosive offense that has produced 719 points.
But Hrovat, who now owns 13 Edinboro football
records, has also been a winner in academics as well as
athletics. For the past two semesters he has been a dean's
list student while majoring in accounting. Currently
working on a 3.6 academic average, the Buckeye native
plans to enroll in law school following graduation with
hopes of becoming a corporate tax lawyer.
"I dream about playing pro football, but I don't envision
it," claims the Scot signal caller. "If it comes along. I'll jump
at it. But my goal right now is to do the best I can grade-wise
and get into law school. That still is my number one goal,"
proclaimed the gifted junior who chose Edinboro over
Cornell.
Hrovat has other goals that center around football. "I
put them on a board in my room. Last year they were to
throw for 1500 yards and run for 250.1 threw for 1700 and
ran for around 230. This year I put them a little steeper,"
the Buckeye native revealed.
But personal goals are secondary to Hrovat who is
much more interested in the overall performance of the
team. "Our goals were to win the Western Division and win
the national championship," the EUP signal caller offered.
Those were number 1 and number 2 on the board, mine are
three and four," he added. "Of course, one of those is
impossible now while the other is very slim. I really believe
if we could just get into the playoffs, we couldn't be
stopped," he predicted.
Confidence is a major character trait exhibited by the
Edinboro quarterback. The youngest of four brothers,
ranging in age from 20 to 26, Hrovat, who stands just
5-10V2 and weighs barely 170 pounds, handles his role as a
leader quite matter-of-factly.
"I've always been confident," he claims. "I've been a
quarterback ever since I was eight years old. It's the only
position I've ever played. I was a starter in my sophomore
year, so I've always been in a position where I was leading
players who were upperclassmen and bigger physically
than I am."
Hrovat is quick to give credit to Edinboro University
offensive coordinator John D'Ottavio and the Scots offen
sive line.
"He's the best coach I've ever had," Hrovat stated
without a moments hesitation. He's a perfectionist, which
is a big plus for me. That means if I get a 90 in the films, and
I missed only two plays, he'll harp on those two plays like I
made the biggest mistake of my life. That just makes me
better each game. When you're a veteran you sometimes
tend to relax a little. You think you know too much when
you really don't know enough," he continued.
"Last year much of my success was due to a veteran
offensive line," reflected the record breaking performer.
"I've always told the guys that our offense starts with the
offensive line. They're the ones who intimidate opponents,
not the smaller people in the backfield," he stated. "This
year's line wasn't experienced, but they got better and
better every game. They're just as good now, if not better,
than any line I've had in front of me," claimed Hrovat.
The young gridder's protection from his offensive line
has evidently been to his liking with 13 records currently
etched in his name. Included among his long list of new
passing standards are; most yards—game (300), most
yards—season (1702), most yards—career (3,449), most
completions—game (18), most completions—season (82),
most TD passes—game (4), most TD passes—season (15),
and most TD passes career (31). His quarterback play as
both a runner and a passer have also earned him
Edinboro's total offense marks for a game (340), a season
(1,931), and a career (4,050). He will have the opportunity
to extend most of these marks with one full year remaining
to be played in the Fighting Scot backfield.
Hrovat was quite a catch for Edinboro Coach Denny
Creehan who has nothing but admiration for the Ohioan.
"Blair is a winner in every respect," said the Scot mentor.
"He's a rare individual who possesses a wealth of
academic and athletic gifts. We feel really fortunate to have
a young man like him in our program."
"My reasons for picking Edinboro were twofold,"
explained Hrovat. "I liked the size of the school and the
academic program it offered as well as its reputation in
football. The professors are willing to give assistance above
what is required in the classroom and that kind of attention
is really valuable to a student," he concluded.
Whatever the case, Hrovat's winning ways have made
him a noted person on the Edinboro University campus in
spite of the low profile he enjoys. He's a modern day
success story that continues the cause of scholar-athletes
in competition both on the field and in the classroom.
