Today*s Game

MAKE IT or BREAK IT
By RANDY JESICK

lUP Director of Public Information
Folks, here it is!
The first in a series of at least four
consecutive "make it or break it"
games for the 1975 Indiana Univer­
sity of Pennsylvania football team,
3-0. That's what today's game with
arch-rival Edinboro is all about. That's
what it boils down to.
Because, following today's face-off
against the Fighting Scots, 2-2, the
Indians journey to Westminster and
then back to Miller Stadium for backto-back invasions by Clarion and Slip­
pery Rock. What a month of October
coach Bill Neal and his squad must
face!
First thing's first, of course, and the
first item on the menu is Edinboro.
And home cookin' has not been too
mouth-watering for lUP in recent
years because the last time Indiana
won at Miller Stadium was 1969,
27-0.

In the last four seasons, in fact, the
visiting team has won on each occa­
sion: 1974, 25-7 lUP; 1973, 21-14
ESC; 1972, 17-7 lUP; and 1971, 29-23
ESC.
To avid lUP fans the matchup this
afternoon is probably most similar to
that of 1973 when the home team
was seemingly rolling along with a
2-1 mark, suffering only the open­
ing defeat to out-of-their-league
Eastern Kentucky. Edinboro, on the
other hand, was mired in a campaign
that had thus far produced an undis­
tinguished 0-3-1. With its own Home­
coming celebration as an inspiring
setting, lUP put it to the Fighting
Scots, right?
Wrong! The 10,000-plus Home­
coming days fans trudged from the
stadium with long looks and "what
happened?" expressions as Indiana
disappointed its followers with a 2114 setback.
Remember that on Oct. 4, 1975,
lUP is undefeated, while Edinboro is
playing but .500 ball!
Of course, part of the warning is
this: last Saturday the players of coach
Bill McDonald, the former lUP assist­
ant, knocked off the king. Slippery
Rock, 24-19.

To avoid suffering a similar fate
today, the lUP defense will have to
perform a reasonable imitation of last
week's showing at Shippensburg
when they limited Red Raider backs
to just 19 yards in 34 carries, a figure
resulting, in part, from five sacks of
the quarterback for 51 yards in losses.

But that task won't be nearly as
easy because of Edinboro backs such
as 210-pound fullback Rich Holmes
and 210-pound halfback Dave Green,
a pair of imports from North Caro­
lina who decided to further their ed­
ucation at Edinboro. So the lUP de­
fense, which has played beyond ex­
pectations thus far in the season, will
have its stiffest assignment yet.
But so will the Indiana offense,
which has shown the capacity, under
the direction of quarterback Lynn
Hieber, to move the football. Unfor­
tunately, many drives have been
stalled by mistakes, namely 11 fum­
bles lost, three interceptions and ap­
proximately 10 dropped passes.
The front line, in blocking for the
runners and protecting Hieber, will
have its hands full. As they say on
TV, "an interesting matchup" will pit
lUP's All-Conference center Jack
Conaboy (6-0, 200) against Edinboro's
massive middle guard Ron Gooden
(6-5, 260).

The individual winner between
Conaboy and Gooden could well help
to determine the outcome of today's
game, and the lUP-Edinboro survivor
will have taken "one giant step" to­
ward the Pennsylvania Conference
Western Division title.

lUP open House
Today is lUP Open House. The
University welcomes prospective
students, veterans, transfer stu­
dents, senior citizens, adult educa­
tion students, branch campus stu­
dents, parents, Indiana residents
and friends.

WHArS GOING ON HERE?
In a brilliant tactical move, lUP
coach Bill Neal, in an effort to con­
fuse the Edinboro defense, plans to
switch All-American quarterback Lynn
Hieber (12) to center and All-Confer­
ence and AP All-Pennsylvania center
Jack Conaboy (50) to quarterback.

YOU MAY BE INTERESTED TO
KNOW;

The series with Edinboro stands at
31-8-2 lUP . . . Lynn Hieber became
lUP's all-time total offense leader last
week and now has 4038 yards pass­

Blucas (66-69), who has 3861 . . . are
5000 yards possible for Hieber? . . .

“I LIKE THIS JOB"
by ED BOUCHETTE

Sports Editor, Indiana Evening Gazette

In 1968, Bill Neal was assistant head football coach at
Pitt. In 1969, he was an assistant at lUP and in 1970 he be­
came the school's sixth head football coach. Since then his
teams have compiled a 32-16 record fora .667 winning mark
(prior to last week's Shippensburg game).
He has tasted success, as evidenced by his 8-1 team of
1972. And he also has seen disappointment, one example com­
ing the very next season, 1973, which ended 4-5, only the
ninth losing season in lUP history and one which halted the
Big Indians' 11-straight-winning-seasons streak along with a 110game scoring skein.
But there is more to the man than his football statistics.
Why did he come to lUP in the first place? Would he accept a
job at a bigger school? Whom does he rate as his best player
ever?
As usual. Bill Neal answered these questions and more in
a recent interview in a frank, honest manner.
Q: Isn't a head coach's job bas­
ically that of delegating authority,
public relations and recruiting, rather
than the actual art of coaching?

NEAL: 1 think when you get into
the better situations a head coach's
job is mostly that of an administrator
rather than a coach. It's 80 per cent
administrative problems and duties.
Such things as travel arrangements,
working on correspondence, PR and
related recruiting activities with it, the
personal and academic problems of
the squad and delegating responsibil­
ities to the assistant coaches and
overseeing them getting done.
I'd like to emphasize that my re­
sponsibilities here are greatly aided
because I have two people in Rich
Hornfeck and Jim Mill who have the
responsibilities of coordinating the
offense and defense. My responsibil­

6

ity is to see that the job is done and
I accept the responsibility. Each year
I've been here they've (Hornfeck and
Mill) assumed more actual responsi­
bilities in those areas.
Q: What's the difference in being
an assistant and a head coach?

NEAL: The major difference is the
scope of the responsibility. Rich
Hornfeck has absolutely no responsi­
bility whatsoever in what the defense
does. Charlie Godlasky has the of­
fensive line and he doesn't worry
about the backs. Rich Krinks has the
wide receivers and nothing else. Joe
Marx has only the quarterbacks. The
defense is the same thing. I coordi­
nate the two.
In game-day responsibilities my
major decisions come in crucial situa­
tions— should we run or punt on
fourth down, should we rush or re­

turn the punt, should we go for a
one or two-point conversion. I try to
look at the game in a broad sense.
On third-and-one the assistants de­
cide what we do.
Q. Would you leave lUP to accept
another assistant's job at a major
college?

NEAL: I like this job, and I doubt
very seriously if I would take one
for several reasons: 1. I like my situa­
tion here. It's a fine school, a great
community, I have a tremendous staff
and we have many things going for
us; 2. Our administration standards
are such that we get a higher type
and class of young man here. We're
not dealing with a football bum.
We're dealing with a student-athlete;
3. The only advantage of being an
assistant at a major school, that I
could see, would be financial and it
would take a heck of a lot more than
what I'm getting here to entice me.
Q; Well then, would you take a
head coaching job at a major school
if offered?

NEAL: I always welcome challenges
and I always enjoyed a challenge. But
at my age (43), I think security car­
ries a lot with any job of that kind
and I've got that here. Since I've been
at Indiana, I've never actually sought
another job. I've discussed other jobs
with people, but I would be reluctant
to leave here unless there would be
a definite advantage in doing so; and
I doubt how many would be a defin­
ite advantage.
Q:
ever?

Could this be your best team

NEAL: It's difficult to make com­
parisons at this time. We're young
and just starting the season and
there's no substitute for final results.
We had an 8-1 season with a pretty
good football team. When this sea­
son's over. I'd rather compare it then.
Right now, attitude-wise, this has
been the best at this stage of the
season.
Q: Did you come to lUP in 1969
with the idea that you'd succeed

Chuck Klausing
coach?

as

head

football

NEAL: When the job was first dis­
cussed with me, I was offered the
head position. But when it came
around to being hired, Klausing
wasn't in the position to offer me the
job. I came in as an assistant with
only one realization — that he (Klaus­
ing) had ambitions of leaving and
with the possibility I would get the
head job.
Q: How did you feel leaving the
assistant's job at Pitt for the same
job at lUP?

NEAL: I was fed up with big-time
football. After three years at Pitt, I
had coached in big-time football for
15 years. In those years at George
Washington, Virginia and Pitt, we
played all the big-time teams — Penn
State, Notre Dame, etc. And we were
in the Sun Bowl at George Washing­
ton.
When this opportunity presented
itself (at lUP), 1 said, "Hey, here's a
place I can be happy and enjoy
coaching," which I was no longer do­
ing. 1 thought of getting out of coach­
ing in my last year at Pitt.
Q: You've never run the score up
against an opponent, even sacrificing
a possible bowl bid in 1972 when it
would have been to your advantage
to run up a score to impress people.
Why not?

NEAL: My philosophy in coaching

is that 1 have a job here and I want
to come to work every day and enjoy
it. We had a fine football team (in
1972). But I do not believe in embar­
rassing people. I believe in playing as
many people as possible.
One of the best compliments I ever
received was the year the California
head coach (then John Katusa) was ill
(1972). After we beat them (28-14),
his assistants thanked me for not run­
ning up the score and embarrassing
them. It was their feeling we could
have scored three, four, five touch­
downs more than we did. But what
would we gain?
I feel if having to score big is the
only way to get recognition. I'd rather
not get it.
Q: Who is the best football play­
er you've had at Indiana?

NEAL: Ability-wise, there are a
number of them. 1 would say, in my
first year in 1969, there were prob­
ably many quality players on that
team. I felt 10 or 12 could start on
the Pitt team that I left the year be­
fore.
There's no question Larry Monsilovich was the best running back.
We've also been blessed with a num­
ber of fine fullbacks. We've also been
blessed with some fine quarterbacks,
but there's no question that Lynn
Hieber has the finest ability of any of
them.
It's difficult to single out people.

simply because each year is a new
year and each player has different
characteristics.
Q: What is the difference in the
football played at lUP and that in the
big time?

NEAL: Significantly, there are two
basic things: 1. size. Where we have
185-190-pound guards, they have 225230. 2. Overall team speed.
But as far as strategies involved
and type of play are concerned, there
is very little difference.
Q: How did your coaching duties
at big schools compare with those
at lUP?

NEAL: Recruiting. In big-time foot­
ball recruiting is your life blood.
When you are recruiting a so-called
blue-chipper, it's a rat race. You may
be a super salesman, but you're com­
peting against numerous salesmen.
In the big time, recruiting takes place
12 months of the year — hard. When
you go to work in the morning you
know that your actual coaching will
be part of the day but recruiting will
be all day —all of it. The last thing
you do at night is call one of your
prospects.
Now, I look forward to coming to
the office and not having to dread
that, after putting in a lot of hours
recruiting one kid. I'll lose him.
My future is not put into the hands
of a 17-year-old youngster.

FOOTBALL

the excitement, the nostalgia make it a personal love affair
by Joe Concannon, Boston GLOBE

IjjH

■■ here has always been the per­
sonal love affair with the college
game, taking its roots from those trips
as a kid to the cavernous Yale Bowl
in New Haven, Conn., and nurtured
by my own experiences as a college
writer chasing around the East after
teams that came close, but never
made it in those earlier student days
at Boston University.
As a kid, too, I always heard the
stories, listening to my father talk
about the Four Horsemen and how he
had played on the same team with
them in Waterbury, Conn., after they
had left Notre Dame. I memorized the
lead that Grantland Rice had written,
making the Four Horsemen “outlined
against a blue-gray October sky” a
part of our folklore.
I guess, ultimately, it would figure
that this would be my vocation, writ­
ing about sports and, if it is really the
fashionable thing these days to be a
pro football writer in one of the 26
National Football League cities, it is
not for me. If the Ivy League is not
the Big Eight, or the Pac-Eight, it is
still a pretty real place to reside.
This thesis, essentially, is about the
college game, its universal appeal to
the spirit. For openers, though, a con­
trast serves to set the tone. Two
games, eight days apart, at the tail
end of the college and pro seasons,
support my basic position better than
all the words, arguments or pictures
I could ever unearth.
The first, on Saturday, Nov. 23,
was in Harvard Stadium, that anti­
quated coliseum once referred to by
the late Stanley Woodward as “a
pile of porous plaster.” The second,
on Sunday, Dec. 1, was in Schaefer
Stadium, a modern monument that
abuts a race track in Foxborough,
Mass. Juxtaposed, the two games
were light years apart.
In Harvard Stadium, it was what
the Harvards and Yales like to call
The Game, a socio-athletic phenome­

is it for real, or will it be a fake-a trademark of college football.

non staged on alternate years in New
Haven and Cambridge, Mass. This,
of course, is like so many other
premiere football rivalries all over
the country. At Schaefer Stadium, it
was the New England Patriots, alive
after 13 years of basic dullness,
against the Steelers, eventual Super
Bowl champions.
Harvard, under coach Joe Restic, is
the most unpredictable of college
teams ANYWHERE. With a system
he says provides maximum flexibility,
he puts the quarterback in motion,
releases receivers in 42 different pat­
terns, sends 10 men in on punt
blitzes, jumps defenses constantly
and, in general, fields a team that is
fun to watch.
In the first half, for instance, the
All-America wide receiver from Villa

Park, California, Pat Mclnally, went
in motion, took a pitch from quarter­
back Milt Holt, rolled out to the right
and threw a 46-yard touchdown bomb
to opposite end Jim Curry. Later, as
time ran out. Harvard moved 76 yards
in seven plays to score with nine
seconds left in the half.
Now, with dusk settling in over the
stadium, there was Yale on top, 16-14,
and Harvard was penned up at its
own five yard line. What happened,
basically, was what the college game
is really all about. With Holt groggy
from a shot he took on the drive, he
moved Harvard 95 yards in 14 plays,
scoring the winning touchdown in a
sweep with 15 seconds to go.
“Why,” Restic was asked, “didn’t
you go for the field goal?” The rea­
son, Restic explained, was that his

snap man on punt situations was hurt.
“And,” he said, “if Holt was in
danger (with no time-outs left) he
could have thrown it away.” As
Restic greeted a deliriously happy
team, he said, “I hope you enjoy this
for the rest of your lives.” This par­
ticular college game certainly had no
corner on the market for exciting,
versatile, fast-changing football. You
can catch this kind of action from
Seattle to Syracuse and Ann Arbor
to Austin.
Given the tradition, the intensity of
these rivalries, the settings in these
college stadiums, the imagination and
the will-to-win approach of the
coaches and players, it is an experi­
ence, a happening staged only in col­
lege football. By comparison, what
happened eight days later in Schaefer
Stadium was a boring, unimaginative
exhibition of football put on by pro­
fessionals in an extravagantly over­
priced park.
The Patriots, the early season pro
football miracle boys, were crippled,
to a significant degree, by injuries.
Still, a win over the Steelers would
keep the playoff hopes alive. In addi­
tion, the win would have been a nice
present to those fans who drive all
those miles, arriving before noon and
being locked in by traffic until well
after darkness.
Instead, the Patriots seemed con­
tent not to go all out for the win, even
with time and the crowd on their
side. Rather than go into the details,
my first visit to Schaefer in two years
as summed up by a comment I wrote
for the sports editorial page of the
Sunday Globe the following week.
“Maybe,” I wrote, “I’ve been
spoiled by watching too many capti­
vating college football games, but I’ve
never been more turned off by an
exhibition of dull, listless, unimagina­
tive football than I was by the Pa­
triots’ efforts at Schaefer Stadium last
Sunday.”
“If there is one area in which the
pros should excel, it is knowing how
to utilize the clock. The Patriots last
Sunday scored one touchdown to
beat the point spread, but let the
clock run out without trying to win
the game.
“Give me a college team using the
clock to score with nine seconds to
go in the first half, moving 95 yards

against the clock to win with five sec­
onds to go and winning because it
had won the toss and had the wind in
the FOURTH quarter.”
The collegiate game, a tribute to its
own past. If it is marked, to varying
degrees by imperfection, its strengths
are these very imperfections. It is a
game played by the young, watched
and appreciated by all ages. Its
coaches are the innovators, the men

Known as a "hard nosed taskmaster" Ben
Schwartzwalder enjoyed an illustrious head
coaching career at Syracuse University where
he excelled as an innovator introducing some
of the greatest players in the game. Such
coaches make college ball that exciting,
razzle-dazzle game that millions are in love
with.

who experiment, gamble and operate
on a chess board 100 yards long.
Another statistic, out of the NCAA
press kit for 1975, indicates that the
college game topped 600 yards total
offense and 40 points per game (on
the average for both teams] for the
seventh straight year. The 648.2 total
yards was the fourth highest ever,
with the 403.6 rushing figure smash­
ing a record that stood for 18 years
by more than 17 yards per game.
It is, to a great degree, the era of
the run, with the Veer and the Wish­
bone the offenses of the Seventies.
As one writer said about the Patriots’

coach (who put in an awesome wish­
bone at Oklahoma], he never had to
operate against the clock in college.
“He simply outpersonneled people.
He didn’t have to coach. He over­
whelmed everybody.”
I have never had the opportunity
to cover games at many big-time col­
leges, although in 1973 I covered 14
games and only one was in the Boston
area. From Orono, Me. to Ithaca, N.Y.
to Morgantown, W. Va. to College
Station, Texas, I had a pretty good
glimpse of the college game, its tradi­
tions and its diversity.
Before Darrell Royal brought his
Texas team to town last September
for a game against Boston College,
I did spend four days in Austin,
Texas. Staying at the Villa Capri ad­
jacent to campus, it was pointed out
that the Wishbone had been named
at a cocktail party in Room 2001.
The Wishbone and the Veer are
popular, yes, but there are those of
the opposite schools of thought who
feel the two offenses are also limiting.
When Alabama fell behind Nebraska
in the 1972 Orange Bowl game, for
example, it was all Nebraska. Forced
to pass its way out of a big hole,
Alabama was at a distinct disadvan­
tage. Passing is the thing you practice
the least in the Wishbone.
Innovators? Yes, even Ben
Schwartzwalder at Syracuse, the
tough, gruff taskmaster who was
criticized for so long because all his
teams did was run. After all, when
you had a Jimmy Brown, an Ernie Da­
vis, a Floyd Little, a Jim Nance, a
Larry Csonka, what did you expect
him to do? Yet, in his time. Old Ben
was an innovator.
Try the scissors, a Schwartzwalder
bread-and-butter play of the early
Fifties. He took the unbalanced line
of the single wing and used it with
the T. How about the Broken I, with
one back one step off center? At the
time, the “I” was a radical offense by
itself.
“The halfback option pass? Davis
caught one in the 1960 Cotton Bowl,
setting a record. Davis and an end
named John Mackey teamed up on
one for 71 yards in 1961. In 25 years
under Schwartzwalder, in fact, Syra­
cuse, a team that didn’t pass, averaged
15 passes per game.
The forward pass was put into the

• • • AND DIVISION II FOOTBALL
by John Rhode,

Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is the site of
this year’s Rice Bowl, one of the stepping
stones to the Camellia Bowl in Sacramento.

December 15, 1974, two Grey­
hound buses filled with a happy
group of football players left Sacra­
mento to spend a day of sightseeing
in San Francisco. These buses held
the Central Michigan football team
which the day before had thoroughly
beaten the University of Delaware in
the Camellia Bowl and was now
known as the Division II National
Football Champion. The cheers of
the crowd from the day before were
still ringing in their ears as they de­
parted the buses at the wharf in San
Francisco and began their day of
sightseeing. They would return home
that night to Mt. Pleasant, thus end­
ing another festive, competitive year
of Division II football.
What is Division II?
Under the umbrella of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA), colleges and universities
are classified in three groups. A
school or institution applying for
Association membership may desig­
nate any division it would like to
belong to provided it meets the appli­
cable criteria contained in the Asso­
ciation by-laws.
Division I schools are those larger
colleges and universities whose foot­
ball schedules are made up of compe­

tition from “major” schools such as
Notre Dame, Michigan, Ohio State,
Alabama, USC. Each of these schools
must schedule more than 50% of its
games against this type of competi­
tion. At present, over 160 schools
make up this division.
Division II is made up of schools
whose schedules may include one or
more of the “majors,” but not enough
to qualify for Division I. There are
presently 142 schools in this division
including the University of Dela­
ware, Tennessee State, University of
California at Davis, Boise State Col­
lege, North Dakota State, and Uni­
versity of Nevada at Las Vegas.
Still smaller schools such as Slip­
pery Rock, Susquehanna University,
Lewis and Clark, Colorado College,
Chico State and Wesleyan Univer­
sity comprise Division III. An im­
portant distinction of the institutions
in this division is that they are not
allowed to award financial aid to any
student-athlete except upon a show­
ing of financial need by the recipient.
This is in contrast to the other di­
visions which can grant aid without
regard to need as long as the sum
does not exceed an NCAA maximum
limit.
National Championships for Divi­
sion I schools have long been ac­
corded by the various wire services
and a number of organizations. The
champion here is not a product of a
play-off series or championship game,
but a vote by sportscasters and
coaches based on record perfor­
mances and end-of-season bowl par­
ticipation.
The other divisions also have their
champions. These, however, are de­
termined in authentic championship
games, either in Sacramento (CA) at
the Camellia Bowl (Division II) or
in sequestered Phenix City (ALA) at
the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl.
Discussions on the merits of a Di­
vision II and Division III champion­
ship football game were first held
four years ago. In Division II there
were then four regional play-off
games which produced a regional
winner, but not a national champion.
The games were played at Baton
Rouge, La. (Grantland Rice Bowl);
Atlantic City, N.J. (Boardwalk Bowl);

President,Camellia Bowl Associatiion

Wichita Falls, Tx. (Pioneer Bowl);
and Sacramento, Ca. (Camellia Bowl).
In 1973, the NCAA developed a plan
to produce a national champion in Di­
vision II football including a play-off
series and a championship bowl game
at the Camellia Bowl.
Teams for the championship are
selected by the College Division II
Football Selection Committee. This
is made up of one individual from
each region (West, Midwest, South,
East) who is involved in collegiate
football, e.g. athletic director, retired
coach. In turn, this person will ap­
point several key men in his area to
keep him advised of the teams’ pro­
gress in his region. These key men
will speak with the selection commit­
tee member by phone each week dur­
ing the season to evaluate prospec­
tive teams. Selection of participating
teams is based on: (a) eligibility of
student-athletes for post season com­
petition; and (b) won-and-lost record
considering strength of schedule.
All Division II teams are eligible
in the region where they are located
geographically. Of the eight teams to
be selected, one is selected from each
of the four regions with the remain­
ing four teams selected on the merit
of strength without any geographi­
cal consideration. Two teams from
the same conference may not be se­
lected in the same year; and any in­
stitution whose conference champion
is committed to an NCAA certified
post-season football game is ineligi­
ble for championship competition.
After finalists have been selected,
four games are played the last Satur­
day in November on the college cam­
puses of four of the teams involved.
The winners of these games then play
the following Saturday in one of two
games at Wichita Falls in the Pioneer
Bowl or in the (Grantland) Rice Bowl
in Baton Rouge. The two eventual
winners then proceed to Sacramento
to play for the national champion­
ship in the Camellia Bowl.
The first year of the national cham­
pionship started off with Grambling
defeating Delaware 17 to 8; Western
Kentucky defeating Lehigh 25 to 16;
Western Illinois losing to Louisiana
Tech 13 to 18; and Boise State defeat­
ing South Dakota 53 to 10. Louisicontinued9t

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
continued

college game as an outgrowth over
concern about the brutality of the
game. It is one of the little-known
vignettes of the game. In 1905, a com­
mittee met in New York to “save
football.” Headed by the immortal
Walter Camp, the committee sought
to open up the game, making it a less
dangerous activity. Serious thought
was given to widening the gridiron
by 40 feet, making it more a game
of rugby than football as we know
it today.
There was one problem. One of
the newly-built college stadiums in
the East, had permanent stands. It
would have cost too much money to
tear them down. Instead, the com­
mittee legalized the forward pass and
the sport became an American tradi­
tion.
Imperfections? Well, the games on
the more moderate, less ambitious
level are filled with them. Yet, if they
are flaws, they make for wild, weird
games. One game, in particular, I
covered last September stands out.
The score, in the fog off Narragansett
Bay in Kingston, R.I., was the Univer­
sity of Rhode Island 48, Northeastern
36.
In the second quarter, alone, the
ball changed hands 15 times. Paul
Ryan, the URI quarterback, threw
touchdown passes of 9, 52, 19 and 33
yards. Mike Budrow, a Northeastern
defensive end, twice took the ball
right out of the hands of Ryan, once
rambling 50 yards for a touchdown.
“In 23 years,” said URI coach Jack
Gregory, “I’ve never been involved
in a game full of so many weird
plays.”
This, precisely, is what makes it so
much fun, so invigorating to cover.
No matter where the game is played
in any part of the country, it is in­
teresting and unpredictable. As one
coach says, if somebody steals his
playbook, it matters not. “They could
study our plans,” he says, perhaps
with tongue in cheek, “but they
wouldn’t know what to prepare for.”
The same coach was asked by a
writer at a press conference if he
would state the major premise, minor
premise and conclusion of his sys­
tem. “That’s a false basic premise,”
he said, “so I’m not going to answer
you in syllogistic form.”
With Spring football, what Harvard

tries to do would be that much more
efficient. Without it, there is the un­
predictability, often compounded by
the vagaries of New England weath­
er. Writing in The Harvard Bulletin,
an editor observed about Restic, “It
was almost like watching General
Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, in
the act of inventing guerrilla war­
fare.”
The offense is based on nine forma­
tions, with the terms used to describe
them (King, Queen, Jack, etc.J cover­
ing the number of flankers and set­
backs and where they are placed.
From the sets. Harvard runs seven
play series (sweep, belly, veer, toss,
fire, dive, counterj, employing eight
blocking schemes. With six potential
receivers, there are 42 pass patterns.
The Ivy League itself reflects the
mood and the openness of the college
game. With Restic its foremost tacti­
cian, there is the Wishbone at Yale,
the Veer at Penn, the multiplicity at
Dartmouth. Before Bob Blackman left
Dartmouth for Illinois and the Big
Ten, he had put in a system that de­
manded thought, dedication and pre­
cise execution.
I always remember one Ivy game.
With one team in front after a late
touchdown, the other team gathered
in the ensuing kickoff. With every­
one apparently picking up the kick
return guy, he suddenly stopped and
fired a cross-field lateral. With a wall
being set up in front of him, he came

within inches of busting it all the
way for a touchdown.
With Brian Dowling and Calvin
Hill around, Yale was the ultimate in
charismatic football in the late Six­
ties. As Dowling scrambled and ran
around, Yale built an offense that
used his unpredictability to great
benefit. If you read Doonesbury, the
cartoon strip that won Garry Trudeau
a Pulitzer, the “B.D.” in the football
suit is Brian Dowling.
There is so much to the college
game played from East to West and
North to South with its option attacks
and stunting defenses. To those who
spend their lives writing about the
pros, there is sometimes a tendency
to look down their noses at college
football. They think the only thing
that matters is how hard a Larry
Csonka runs, how devastating a Dick
Butkus tackles.
That is perfectly all right, I guess,
but I would not trade a delightful
Saturday afternoon looking out over
the Hudson River from atop Michie
Stadium at West Point, a cold dreary
November day in Harvard Stadium
watching Harvard play Yale or, yes,
even the chance to see Amherst play
Williams for anything. And I know
other writers who feel the same way
about college football in the South,
Midwest, West and throughout the
country. For me, and for them, a
college game remains a personal love
affair.

ana Tech and Boise State then went
to the Pioneer Bowl where, after a 21yard touchdown pass with 12 sec­
onds left, Tech defeated Boise State
38-34. Grambling and Western Ken­
tucky met at the Grantland Rice Bowl
where Western Kentucky garnered a
difficult 28-20 win. On December 15,
1973, the first championship game
pitted Louisiana Tech and Western
Kentucky in the Camellia Bowl with
Louisiana Tech winning handily 34-0.
In 1974, play-off games produced
the following results: Delaware de­
feated Youngstown 35-14; Las Vegas
defeated Alcorn A&M 35 to 22; Lou­
isiana Tech defeated Western Caro­
lina 10 to 7; and Central Michigan
defeated Boise State 20 to 6. The
Pioneer Bowl hosted Central Mich­
igan and Louisiana Tech with Central
Michigan upsetting Tech 35-14. The
Grantland Rice Bowl, held on the
same day, resulted in Delaware’s 49
to 11 victory over Nevada, Las Vegas.
The second national title went to
Central Michigan which surprised
Delaware with a 54 to 14 victory.
One innovative aspect of the play­
off games is a very unique plan de­
vised by the Division II College Foot­
ball Committee to eliminate a tie
game. Immediately following the con­
clusion of the fourth quarter of a
tie, a coin is flipped, the winner se­
lecting offense or defense for the
first possession of the first overtime
period and any subsequent odd-num­
bered periods.
Team A receives the ball first-andten on Team B’s 15-yard line. After
Team A has had the ball for its se­
ries, whether it has scored or not.
Team B becomes the offensive team
with the ball on Team A’s 15-yard
line, first-and-ten. Each team has pos­
session of the ball until it has scored
or failed to gain a first-and-ten by
either running out of downs or loss
of possession through an intercepted
pass or fumble. When a team scores,
it gives up possession of the ball.
Each overtime period consists of four
downs and an opportunity to make a
first-and-goal situation per team and
no time limit is involved. If the score
remains tied after an equal number
of possessions, play will continue
into extra periods until the tie is
broken.

A Central Michigan runner is staked up by
the Delaware defense in last years Camellia
Bowl won by Central Michigan 54-14.

The sites of the two final play-off
games and the championship games
are sponsored by non-profit commu­
nity organizations. The (Grantland)
Rice Bowl in Baton Rouge is spon­
sored by the Lions Club; the Pioneer
Bowl is sponsored by the Wichita
Falls Board of Commerce and Indus­
try. The Camellia Bowl is sponsored
by the Camellia Bowl Association,
Inc. which was founded in 1961
to bring major sports events to Sac­
ramento. These organizations are
responsible for field preparation,
publicity and promotion, half-time
pageantry, and team entertainment.
Travel and housing expenses are
guaranteed by the NCAA and paid
out of monies derived from the games.
Approximately 75% of all gate re­
ceipts go directly to the NCAA for
disbursement to the schools involved.
The two championship contenders re­
ceive the major share.
The championship series produces
a show that is exciting and new.
Visiting teams to the bowl locations
are well-received in an array of pag­
eantry and football tradition. In past
years over 173,000 fans have wit­
nessed the Camellia Bowl alone.
There have been as many as 2,000
bandsmen on the field during the

half-time show at the Camellia Bowl
Game. In 1974, 1,700 members of the
Ben Ali Temple of the Shrine started
the day off with the pre-game show
entering their color guard, floats,
mini-cars, motorcycles, go-carts,
drum and glocks corps. Oriental band,
clowns and Indians. And, a fastpaced 48-hour fund raising campaign
in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, raised
more than $35,000 to send the Cen­
tral Michigan University Band to Sac­
ramento to participate in the half­
time show.
As with the traditional New Year’s
Day bowl games, a Camellia Bowl
Queen is chosen with the eight final­
ist schools being invited to send their
Homecoming Queens. The Queen is
chosen at a Friday afternoon lunch­
eon attended by more than four hun­
dred persons. The Queen with her
court, representing schools from
Richmond, Virginia to Las Vegas, Ne­
vada, are introduced at the Game on
Saturday.
The monies that go to the sponsor­
ing groups are taken from the net re­
ceipts of the game and these proceeds
are given to the charities of their
choice. In the past, these charities
have included Lions Clubs, Shriners
Children’s Hospital, Cerebral Palsy,
Boy Scouts of America, and hospital
auxiliaries with an amount totaling
almost $40,000.
Much excitement has been generat­
ed in the Division II championship.
The schools’ coaches and players look
forward to the many benefits that
come with a championship event—
added dollars to the schools’ athletic
funds, exposure on national television
(ABC), the chance to play schools
from other areas, travel to various
parts of the United States, and, best
of all, the right to claim the national

title.
On Saturday, December 13, 1975,
Sacramento will once again become
the football capital of the nation as
two teams battle for a true national
championship, with all the hoopla
that surrounds such a game—bands,
parades, queen contests, half-time
pageantry, parties at private homes
and clubs, buses filled with fans,
planes arriving with booster groups
and bands, and a town filled with a
championship bowl fever.

THE NERVE CENTER

T

■■ here was something electrifying
about the game that seemed to make
everyone in the stands immune to the
cold of the crisp November day. Col­
lege football is like that. Stimulating.
The overcast sky and an occasional
drop of rain went unnoticed as State,
trailing by six, began a desperate
fourth quarter drive. A conference
title and a bowl bid hung in the bal­
ance. To heck with the weather.
Still, Fred Fann couldn’t help but
glance over his shoulder now and
then and wonder why he hadn’t
majored in journalism instead of ac­
counting. “Ah, to be a sportswriter,’’
he thought. “Those guys have it made,
up there where it’s nice and warm.
And imagine, getting paid to see a
game from a free seat that’s removed
from the wind, rain and some clumsy
guy spilling a soda all over your new
topcoat.”
Fred Fann, like thousands of spec­
tators, often wondered what went on
up there in the press box behind all
that glass. Must be exciting.
Scoop Inksmear was accustomed to
big game drama. His 18 years on the
college beat had calloused him against
temptations to cheer or show emo­
tion, even as State, the team he had
covered all those years, kept its drive
alive with a third down completion.
He remembered all too well that first
year on the job and his first college
football assignment. He had let loose
with a yell as somebody was return­
ing the opening kickoff 92 yards. He
remembered all those icy stares
from the veteran writers and he re­
called wanting to crawl under his old
Underwood portable.
No, the press box is no place for
cheerleading, as he had learned so
embarrassingly. It is a place to work.
Removed from the crowd and the dis­
tractions of the noise and merriment,
members of the news media are able
to concentrate uninterrupted as they
earn their living.
Scoop Inksmear, nonetheless.

couldn’t help but “pull” for State. Al­
ways easier to write a “winning”
story instead of one describing dis­
appointment. Besides, there was that
trip South for a week for bowl rev­
elry, all expenses paid, of course.
The stadium public address an­
nouncer kept the fans advised, sup­
plementing the information on the
scoreboard. “Johnson the ball car­
rier, . . . tackle by Swanson,” Fred
Fann heard as he glanced at the scoreboard. Second down, five, ball on the

20. “Wish I were up there with those
guys,” Fred thought. “The view must
be great, better even than being here
on the 50, five rows up.”
Scoop Inksmear made another note
on his legal pad as the press box PA
blared the information: “Stevens the
ball carrier . . . tackle by Jordan . . .
gain of three . . . ball on the 17 . . .
third and two.”

Inksmear thought, remembering how
he once had to climb 87 steps lugging
his typewriter and binoculars. That
was before press box elevators came
into vogue. And in those days, if you
wanted a quote or two from the
coaches, you had to walk down to
the locker rooms and back up to the
press box to write your story. Now, a
“pool” writer or a member of the
home team’s PR staff would gather
several quotes and phone them to the
press box where they would be either
announced on the press box PA sys­
tem or mimeographed and handed
out.
Scoop Inksmear decided to use the
“pool” quotes. Besides, he was on a
tight deadline and couldn’t spare the
time to go downstairs. He’d stay in
the press box and write his story,
munching on the sandwich he had
picked up in the press box buffet line
at halftime. Some press boxes in­
cluded elaborate hot food catering
with soft drinks, milk and coffee.
Other press boxes served a handout
sandwich or nothing at all. It de­
pended on a school’s budget.
“Wilcox to Haley . . . gain of five
. . . the tackle by Stevens . . . first
down at the 12,” the press box PA
announcer said tersely. Outside, the
crowd was in a frenzy, sensing a
victory and that long-awaited bowl
invitation.
Scoop Inksmear wondered how
long it had been since State had last

played in a bowl game. Was it five
years or six? He saw Jerry Freesmile,
State’s director of sports information,
walking past and he asked him the
question.
“It was 1969, Scoop,” Jerry Free­
smile answered. “We’ll be handing
out a press release with all that in­
formation in it if we win. Let me
know if you need anything else.”
Jerry had arrived in the press box
four hours before kickoff time. Before
that he had spent three hours in the
office, making sure all the press cre­
dential requests had been filled. En­
velopes would be left at the press
gate for writers and broadcasters who
had filed their requests too late to be
handled by mail. The importance of
the game had attracted a larger than
usual number of media representa­
tives along with delegates from sev­
eral bowl games and a dozen pro
scouts. The news media came first
and Jerry made sure they had the
better seats.
He also had made sure the field
phones in the coaches’ booths were
in working order. Right now, in the
heat of the battle, those phones were
sizzling. Three assistant coaches from
State and four from the rival team
(the number usually varies from two
to five] were closeted in separate
booths. In each booth, one man was
shouting suggested plays and forma­
tions to another assistant coach at the
other end of the line on the field. An­
other coach was peering through bi­
noculars and another was making dia­
grams, complete with X’s and O’s.
The scoreboard operator immedi­
ately punched out new digits and the

scoreboard read: “State 21, Upstate
U., 20.”
Fred Fann, jumping up and down
in a sea of cavorting fans, watched
as the clock ticked down. The final
horn was barely audible above the
crowd noise and Fred, caught up in
the excitement, was glad he could
begin his celebration immediately.
“Poor stiffs,” he said, glancing toward
the press box, “glad I don’t have to
hang around up there and work.”
Scoop Inksmear instinctively began
pounding his typewriter, describing
to his readers how State had gallantly
fought from behind to earn its second
bowl bid in five years. Or was it six?
“Hey, Jerry Freesmile!”
Jerry Freesmile was busy handing
out a press release he had written the
day before, not knowing if it would
ever be read. The release included
ticket information, the team’s pre­
bowl workout schedule and travel
plans.
Scoop Inksmear finished his game
story, then added the final paragraph
to his “sidebar” feature using the
“pool” quotes and inserting a few
facts gleaned from the many stat
sheets at his disposal.
Finally, three hours after the final
horn, the last writer gone, Jerry Free­
smile packed up his remaining pro­
grams and brochures, collected sev­
eral sets of stats sheets and made his
way toward the exit. The stadium
was quiet, dark, deserted. His 10-hour
day completed, Jerry breathed a sigh
of relief and wondered how it would
be attending a game as a sportswriter
or a fan.
a

The fans eye view of the press box-what mysteries lurk within?

Mi he Academic All-American Foot­
ball Team is the most important spe­
cial project the College Sports In­
formation Directors of America
(CoSIDA] work on during the year,
according to Phil Langan, editor of
the organization’s monthly publica­
tion.
How did it get started?
It all began at Southern Methodist
University in Dallas, Texas, in the
summer of 1952. For the preceding
five years, SMU had been the only
institution in the country to be repre­
sented each year on the consensus
All-American teams and the only one
to have a player named on the UPI
first team each of these seasons.
But by 1952 Doak Walker had left
SMU to become a star with the De­
troit Lions: Kyle Rote had started
his illustrious career with the New
York Giants: Fred Benners, who had
thrown four touchdown passes to
defeat Ohio State in 1950 and the
same number to win from Notre
Dame in 1951, was in law school:
and Don Meredith was still a school­
boy in Mount Vernon, Texas.
It did not look as if SMU would
have a consensus All-American in
1952, so Lester Jordan, the school’s
Sports Information Director (SID]
as well as business manager of ath­
letics, was looking for another means
of publicizing the school’s football
team.
Upon checking, he discovered that
an unusually large number of his
team had made excellent grades the
preceding year. He decided to capital­
ize on this information.
As a former sports editor of a
Texas daily newspaper, Jordan knew
the project would have more news
value if it were dramatized by form­
ing a team instead of merely listing
the names of the scholar-athletes. He
also knew that a story with an SMU
angle only would have limited ap­
peal, so he wrote the other SIDs in
the Southwest Conference for a list
of their top football players who also

Lester Jordan, originator of the Academic AllAmerica team while at SMU

made good grades. He then mailed
a story on the 1952 Southwest Con­
ference pre-season academic team to
the news outlets.
The project met with instant ap­
proval from the news media and
from educators, so Jordan started
thinking about the post-season team.
In October Frank Tolbert, who was
covering the SMU beat for the Dallas
Morning News, suggested that Jordan
select an All-American academic
team.
To test the idea, Jordan wrote lead­
ing sportswriters and sportscasters
over the country, explaining that the
primary purposes of the project were
to give recognition to football stars
who excel in the classroom: to dra­
matize for the general public the fact
that players are interested in aca­
demic attainments also: and to im­
press upon high school athletes the
importance attached to studies by
college players.
Grantland Rice, then the dean of
American sportswriters, volunteered
his help, and Fred Russell of the
Nashville Banner and currently chair­
man of the Honors Court of the Na­
tional Football Foundation and Hall
of Fame, nominated two Vanderbilt
players. Bert McCrane of the Des
Moines Register and Tribune said he
was glad to give an assist to the
“brains” team and wrote of the schol­
arly achievements of Bill Fenton of
the University of Iowa and Max Bur­
kett of Iowa State, two team mem­
bers. Hugh Fullerton of the Associ­
ated Press told of the fine classroom
records of Mitch Price of Columbia
and Frank McPhee of Princeton.

Arch Ward of the Chicago Tribune
liked the idea and fellow reporters
Wilfrid Smith and Ed Prell helped
promote the team. Leo H. Petersen,
Ed Sainsbury, and Ed Fite of the
United Press aided the project, and
Whitney Martin and Harold Ratliff of
the AP devoted columns to the team.
Both Irving Marsh of the New York
Herald-Tribune and Furman Bisher
of the Atlanta Journal were generous
in the space they gave to the team.
The highly-encouraging response
received from the media and from
leading SIDs resulted in the first Aca­
demic All-American team appearing
in December, 1952. The play it re­
ceived from coast to coast indicated
that it would become a regular fea­
ture of the football season.
Fortunately for the success of the
project, several players on the early
teams went on to make names in foot­
ball annals as well as in business and
the professions. Dick Chapman of
Rice, a member of the 1952 and 1953
first academic teams, was the first
round draft choice of the Detroit
Lions, and later earned his PhD. in
nuclear physics. Michigan State’s
John Wilson, also of the original 1952
team, became a Rhodes scholar and
later president of Wells College.
In 1954 the three senior backs on
the academic eleven—Dick Moegle
of Rice, Allan Ameche of Wisconsin,
and Joe Heap of Notre Dame were
also first round choices. Heap, a
devastating player, later developed a
career in personnel and is now an
executive with Shell Oil Corpora­
tion. In 1956 the first team academic
eleven had Jerry Tubbs of Oklahoma
at center, Lynn Dawson of Purdue
at quarterback, and Jack Pardee of
Texas A & M at fullback—three men
whose names are still important in
football circles.
For seven years Jordan selected the
team, but in 1959 when CoSIDA and
the American Peoples Encyclopedia
became joint sponsors of the project,
all sportswriters and sportscasters
were invited to vote for the team.
More than 600 voted and each re­
ceived a copy of the APE Yearbook.
Players making the All-American
team or the various all-Conference
academic selections were given ency­
clopedia sets.
Later, the American Heritage Life
Insurance Company replaced APE as
a co-sponsor and Ted Emery became
the co-ordinator.
Among the sports information
leaders who made major contribu­
tions to the project in its early days
were Wayne Duke, now commiscontinued

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Lester Jordan began his career in 1922 when
he became Sports Information Director
(SID) at Trinity College. In 1936 he moved
to SMU where in 48 years he served in
various capacities including Head of the
Journalism Dept., Varsity Tennis Coach,
Athletic Business Manager, SID, Assistant
Athletic Director and Special Assistant.
Now retired (1974), Lester lives with his
wife in Vallejo, Ca.

sioner of the Big Ten; Fred Stabley of
Michigan State; Wilbur Evans, now
a top official of the Cotton Bowl and
the Southwest Athletic Conference;
and Wiles Hallock, executive director
of the Pac-8. Duke, who was associ­
ated with the NCAA at that time, ar­
ranged for national television cover­
age on the “TODAY” show. Stabley
and Evans were presidents of CoSIDA when it became a co-sponsor.
Hallock, who was then SID at the
University of Wyoming, was chair­
man of the committee that named
Jordan recipient of CoSIDA’s first
distinguished award, thereby giving
prestige to the academic team.
Others who gained football fame
after starring in the classroom in the
fifties included Bart Starr of Ala­
bama, Raymond Berry and Jerry
Mays of SMU, Fran Tarkenton and
Zeke Bratkowski of Georgia, Sam
Huff of West Virginia, Tommy Mc­
Donald of Oklahoma, Bob White of
Ohio State, Donn Moomaw of UCLA,
Lance Alworth of Arkansas, Frank
Ryan of Rice, Jim Phillips of Auburn,
and Joe Walton and John Guzik of
Pitt.
Of the eight former players who
are to be inducted into the National
Football Foundation’s college foot­
ball Hall of Fame this December,
only three played after the academic
team was originated. Two of these—
Alan Ameche of the University of
Wisconsin and Pete Dawkins of the
U.S. Military Academy—were aca­
demic first-team selections.
Now Fred Stabley, veteran sports
information director at Michigan
State University, is the project co­
ordinator. Each year he encloses in
the October issue of the CoSIDA
Digest a nomination blank, asking
the SIDs to send in a list of their
regular players who have a “B” or
better average. He then sends ballots
to the SIDS at the end of the season
and they vote for the team. Stabley
compiles the results and announces
the team in February.

card
are a tricky
business
ll ouis Ganson, Cardini, Jack Mc­
Millan, and Harry Lorayne’s wizardry
at card tricks and sleight-of-hand
feats have long-amazed and tantalized
countless magic fanciers. But they
really have nothing over Jon Boyd,
Craig Canitz, and Mark Flaisher, rally
committee chairpersons at Illinois,
Ohio State, and UCLA respectively.
For these latter three, and their
counterparts at universities across
the country, are responsible for that
flashy, varied, and volatile halftime
feature at football games, and prove,
indeed, that card tricks are a tricky
business.
According to records in University
House on the UC-Berkeley campus,
the predecessor of card stunts color­
fully premiered at the 1908 Cal-Stanford Big Game. Both rally committee
sides [male bastions all] appeared in
white shirts with blue and gold, cardboard-stiff rooter caps for Cal, and
red and white chapeaus for Stanford
supporters.
From this rather elementary begin­

ning, card stunts have evolved into
elaborate undertakings. The imagina­
tive stunts you see under a balmy
Autumn glow or brisk November
wind probably were conceived under
rudimentary conditions eight or ten
months before.
Usually, the initial step in planning
card stunts is for rally committee
members to work with faculty and
students in conceiving appropriate
themes—for example. Dads’ Day.
Homecoming, or the retirement of a
university president.
Stunts then are drawn on graph
paper by the artist and his staff with
each square representing a seat in the
card section. This design is used as
a guide in stamping the instruction
cards.
One instruction card is made up
for each seat in the card section.
These are numbered at the tops ac­
cording to row and seat numbers and
then marked with the color of the
card the person in that seat is to hold
up for each stunt to be performed.
Early-rising rally committee members
tape these cards to the bottom of each

seat in every row the day of the game.
Directing the stunts is the rally
committee chairperson who reads his
‘script’ simultaneously with the band
conductor who is reading his music.
To give the card section an idea of
how the stunts look, several members
stand at the base of the section with
painted poster replicas of the stunts
as they are performed. Another per­
son holds posters with the stunt num­
bers so that confusion among rooters

as to which stunt they are doing is
minimized.
According to Mark Flaisher, UCLA’s
rally committee chairperson, a hypo­
thetical example might explain the
process better “Suppose you had a
card section of 80 people—eight seats
to a row and 10 rows to the section.
The design is a large block letter “C”
in dark blue with a yellow back­
ground. This is stunt #3 in a series
of 25. Here’s the procedure: (refer to
diagram).
“1. Count out 10 (no. of rows]
stacks of instruction cards with 8
(no. of seats to a row] cards to a
stack. The cards should be kept in
their stacks and wrapped with rub­
ber bands when not being handled to
avoid mix-ups.
"2. The cards are then numbered
at the top with row and seat numbers.
Thus, each card in a single stack
would have the same row number,

PURE QUAUTY

THE DEFENSIVE
SECONDARY
HOW THEY
OPERATE THE
^ZONE

s
Nrince the advent of extensive foot­

ball coverage on television, followed
by the technological innovation of
“instant replay” and the resulting
evolution of expert analysis, the aver­
age football fan has had the oppor­
tunity to become more sophisticated
in his knowledge of the game. The
following’s purpose is, hopefully, to
add to the spectator’s understanding
of the zone pass defense as it is
played in the college game today.
A majority of college football
teams will be using the “Okie” (also
called “fifty,” “5-2,” or “3-4”) defense
in the 1975 season. So any discussion
of pass defense on the college level
requires a basic familiarity with this
common alignment. The obvious char­
acteristic of this defense (see diagram
A) is its “odd-man” look, with a
“noseguard” playing directly across
from the offensive center. Some
teams add two tackles and two ends
to make five men on the line of
scrimmage with just two linebackers
(the true 5-2), while others just add a
pair of defensive ends and utilize four
linebackers. As the diagram shows,
the outside linebackers (in what is
technically a 3-4 alignment) are ac­
tually so close to the line' of scrim­
mage that for all practical purposes
it’s the same as the 5-2. The major ad­
vantage of this three-lineman scheme
is that it potentially puts eight men
into pass defense zones.
The inside linebackers play the
gaps created by the defensive ends
lining up opposite the offensive
tackles. The four defensive backs as­
sume their positions depending on
which side of the field the offense
puts its tight end—in other words, the
“strong side” of its line. The strong
safety usually mirrors the tight end
to the strong side of the field.
From this basic alignment, a 6-2
zone (as diagrammed in B) can be
employed. That usually happens on
first down plays or in short yardage
situations when a run or short pass

Positioning for the defensive back is most important. On short pass situations, it has long bben a
rule to keep close to the receiver between him and the quarterback.

seems to be the likely call of the of­
fense. The two “flat” zones (or short,
outside zones) usually are covered by
defensive backs, while linebackers
normally cover the inside “curl” and
“hook” zones. With just two remain­
ing backs each taking responsibility
for half of the deep area, the one maDiagram A

The basic "Okie" defense, used by a majority
of college teams, utilizes a noseguard over
center and in this case 2 ends and four line­
backers, called by some a "34".

jor vulnerability of this formation be­
comes apparent. What happens if the
offense sends more than two receiv­
ers deep? Answer: someone who also
has short pass responsibility must
drop back. For this particular strategy
to be successful, the defense’s indi­
vidual players must have the speed
for effective long pass coverage.
So the 6-2 zone defense becomes a
distinct advantage when the oppos­
ing team’s offense does not have re­
ceivers skilled enough to beat their
defenders deep. But if the offense
does have enough talent at the re­
ceiver position, then a 5-3 zone more
likely fills the defensive bill.
In the 5-3 zone (see diagram C),
one of the cornerbacks will drop
back to help out with deep cover­
age, making each deep man respon­
sible for just 1/3 of the field rather
than 1/2. However, this ploy requires
leaving one of the six short zones
open. Defenses most often choose
the weak side flat to vacate since this
is the most difficult area for the of­
fense to reach effectively,

but the seat numbers would run 1-8
through the stack.
“3. The color direction for that
stunt is marked beside its number
(#3] on the cards either with rubber
stamps or by hand if the card section
is small. It takes two people to stamp
a stunt efficiently: one person calls
the color for each seat of a certain
row off the graph paper design, start­
ing with seat #1 on the left; the sec­
ond person, working with the stack
of cards for that row, stamps the
color for each seat beside the stunt
number on the card, starting with
seat #1 at the top of the stack.
"Example: Line #3 on the cards,
for row 7 of the sketch would be
marked: seat 1-yellow; seat 2-blue;
seat 3-blue; seat 4-yellow; seat 5yellow; seat 6-blue; seat 7-blue; seat
8-yellow.”
With such scientific regimentation,
there is little chance for a mix-up, but
they do, in fact, occur. Jon Boyd,
chairperson of "Block I” at the Uni­
versity of Illinois, cites one instance.
"Of all days, ABC was televising a
game last Fall to use as post-season
film. I prepped the rooters for one
stunt, but actually called out a differ­
ent number. What resulted was half
of Abe Lincoln's face and half of the
University of Illinois logo. Fortu­
nately, the cameras were grinding
away on the field rather than on the
stands.”
The University of Illinois, which
rightfully boasts the largest card sec­
tion in the country, recently com­
puterized their stunts. Boyd explains,
"Not only are we the biggest, but
Illinois has the only 'dual' block im­
plementing both sides of the 72,000
capacity stadium. Our large operation
is simplified somewhat by key-punch­
ing the instruction cards.”
Despite its elaborate undertakings,
UCLA does not use computers. All
the work is done by hand. A unique
UCLA feature, now in its 22nd year,
is the light and sound stunts which no
other school in the country performs.
Several weeks prior to every light
stunt show, rally committee members
record a sound track which follows a
script based on the continuity of the
stunts. Then at night games, members
assemble flashlights, check batteries,
and pass out flashlights and filter
cards five minutes before halftime.

A close-up of participants illustrates the method used in night game card trickery at UCLA where it
all started

Each student in the card section is
given one card with eight different
colored gils.
Rain, sleet, and snow may not be
detrimental to bringing the mail
through, but they are definite handi­
caps for card stunt performances.
"Rain is a catastrophe,” claims A1
Lundstedt, athletic business manager
at the University of Texas-Austin.
"We usually cancel the performance
because the cards are very, very ex­
pensive and the whole operation is
costly. Also, to prevent loss we clip
all eight cards with a ring.”
Lynn Nakada, former chairperson
of Cal's rally committee, attests that
her co-members work overtime on
those Fall Saturdays to keep the card
stunt operation functional and

smooth. "Saturday at 8 AM, rally
committee members go to the sta­
dium to transport the card packets to
the rooting section. That’s two or
three hours worth of work right there.
Then, after the performance, the cards
are returned to the aisle where rally
committee persons collect them, cart
them to the field for sorting, and put
them away for the next Bears’ home
game.”
Fierce competition is not neces­
sarily limited to the field among the
offense and the defense. According
to Craig Canitz, the Ohio State root­
ing section, "Block O,” is currently
creating and staging dramatic new
card tricks to perform at the 1976
Rose Bowl! That’s tricky.

“

The 5-3 zone is more conservative
than two-deep coverage because it
provides better protection against the
long pass; and, as with any zone, the
linebackers are deep-conscious,
which makes it even more difficult
for the offense to go for the “bomb.”
Several other advantages of the
zone defense should be mentioned.
Zone, as opposed to man-to-man, pass
defense, takes away the effectiveness
of quick curl and hook patterns for
the offense. With four linebackers
available for pass coverage, not only
is the middle of the defensive area
well covered, but protection is pro­
vided for any weaknesses in the sec-

man, in a deep fly pattern, for exam­
ple, does the defender have to follow
the receiver’s fakes closely.
But in spite of the increasing popu­
larity of zone defenses, there are dis­
tinct disadvantages to a zone defense.
It leaves the sideline area 12 to 15
yards upheld vulnerable, and offenses
can consistently gain ground with
short passes to the running backs
flaring out of the backheld. As tele­
vision commentators love to tell you,
the way to beat a zone defense is to
hit the “seams,” or those areas
around the border lines of the zones
of defensive responsibility. So while
the three-deep zone defense does a

back swinging out of the backheld to
become a third receiver on the strong
side of the held, either the cornerback or the nearest linebacker (who
may have been on the tight end] will
have to cover the short pass off this
pattern. So it’s essential that each
defender know his assignment in any
given circumstance and react quickly
and decisively to his area of respon­
sibility.
A good rush on the passer also
plays an important role in pass de­
fense whether it’s man-to-man or
zone. The defensive linemen and any
blitzing linebackers cannot allow the
quarterback a leisurely view of his

The 6-2 zone is used usually in short- yard­
age situations when a run or short pass is sus­
pected. For a defense to get caught using this
alignment in the wrong situation, it would
mean instant touchdown.

In the 5-3 zone one cornerback drops back
into the secondary to give assistance with
deep coverage.

When more than one receiver (above, the tight
end and flanker) enter a zone the effect on
the defensive backfield is called "flooding."
In the diagram the strong safety needs help
from the free safety.

ondary. A cornerback without blind­
ing speed can still operate effectively
in a zone defense since he can be
assigned to a short zone and not have
to follow a receiver deep.
The zone also allows the secondary
to disregard most of the fakes a re­
ceiver might make. If the zone is
working right, fakes by the receiver
don’t serve much purpose since the
defenders are responsible for an area
first and a man second, and then re­
act when the ball is thrown. The de­
fender doesn’t have to worry about
losing his man to a fake since that
means the receiver has probably en­
tered another defender’s area. Only
when the zone has become man-to-

great job of preventing long pass
completions, it can find difficulty pre­
venting short pass completions that
gain just enough yardage to make a
first down and keep a drive going.
Diagram D shows what happens
when the offense “floods” one de­
fender’s zone. In this example, both
the tight end and the flanker run a
pattern into the strong safety’s deep
zone. The strong safety needs help
either from his free safety or his cor­
nerback since covering two receivers
in a deep zone requires more than one
defender. The cornerback must know
his job and react quickly to which­
ever area he’s assigned, as does the
free safety. With the offensive half­

receivers running their patterns.
Enough pressure on the passer will
force him to throw the ball away,
throw it too soon or off balance, or
keep it and be sacked.
The mention of blitzing linebackers
could open the door to a long disser­
tation on the various combinations of
rushes that a defensive signal-caller
might use, but there isn’t time here to
detail every conceivable defensive
maneuver. Suffice it to say that foot­
ball strategy often can become al­
most as complicated as a game of
chess, and football coaches need the
type of mind that can easily recognize
old problems and quickly discover
solutions to new ones.

The key to communicating with the bench
It’s another one of those cliffhangers. Here it is the fourth quarter and
the game is so unpredictable and
high-scoring that the winner cannot
logically be determined. Suddenly a
trick play appears which leads to a
touchdown and the scoring team uses
the momentum to win.
Where did that play come from?
Who called it? Unbeknownst to many,
the play came from the assistant
coaches stationed on headsets in the
press box. They spotted a potential
weakness from above, relayed the
debility to the field. This tactic
worked for a score. After the game,
the head coach will probably give
credit to his aide who called the
winning play.
The communication between the
press box and the sideline is a very
widely utilized strategem used as
much on offense as on defense.
Phones make it possible for more
strategy to be employed faster than
would be possible with all the
coaches on the field.
At many schools offensive plays
are called from upstairs. How the sig­
Game plans are often adjusted during the heat
of the game by the men on the phones

nals get to the quarterback varies, but
a transmitter inside a player’s helmet
is illegal. Usually one assistant in the
press box will call the play to another
assistant on the field. Then, either a
series of hand signals to the quarter­
back from the sideline or a messen­
ger with the play gives the call to the
quarterback. Several years ago, an
interesting method was used occa­
sionally too. One player received the
play from a sideline coach, ran into
the huddle to cue the quarterback and
then hustled off the field before the
play began. Now this is illegal; if a
player comes onto the field, he must
remain for at least one play.
The same basics are employed de­
fensively. A coach upstairs will call
the alignment to another assistant on
the sideline, who will relay via signals
to the captain on the field, commonly
the middle linebacker.
There is always the danger that the
opposition may pick up the signals
both offensively and defensively.
This can be controlled by using sev­
eral coaches to give a play with only
one signalling the real play. Addi­
tionally, an indicator can be used
similar to the one a third base coach
uses in baseball to thwart the oppo­
nent from stealing the signs easily.
Many schools use three sets of
phones on the field and two sets up­
stairs. While the offense is driving,
the defensive coaches may be talking
to players or other assistants on the
field about what went right or wrong
on the preceding series. When the
offense concludes its series, the quar­
terback may confer with coaches up­
stairs to check on alignments of the
defense. Since the press box view
affords the coaches a panoramic view
of the field, they can spot potential
points of exploitation more easily
than the players on the field.
Which coaches are in the booth
depend on the philosophy of the in­
stitution. Line coaches may be in the
press box to watch breakdowns in
the “phone booth’’ play; a receiver
coach might be upstairs so he can
watch the opponent’s coverage. De24t

fensively, perhaps the secondary
coach will be used in the booth to de­
pict favorite patterns of certain re­
ceivers. Generally, if plays are called
from upstairs, the offensive coordi­
nator is a good bet to be in the
“booth.”
The offense or defense alignments
of the opponent may determine the
importance of coaches in the press
box. For example, a wishbone offense,
though it often boggles the defense,
is basically simple to understand. The
quarterback has all the options. There
are fewer plays from which to choose
in a wishbone offense, so the advan­
tage of a defensive coach upstairs
may not be as great as it would be if
a multiple offense were used.
If a team surprises its opposition
with an unexpected offense or for­
mation, the defense—with coaches
upstairs — can adjust more easily
since the whole scope of the play can
be seen. If headsets were not in exis­
tence, it would be more difficult to
spot the breakdowns and it would
take longer to adjust.
Some teams permit a quarterback
to call his own plays and even audi­
ble out plans called from upstairs.
This, however, is dependent on the
maturity of the signal caller. Other
schools would rather remove that
responsibility and let the quarterback
concentrate on his physical skills.
Since the coaches in the booth usually
know what play has been called, they
know where to look for missed as­
signments.
The more intelligent players, if
they sense a changing trend, will ask
questions of the coaches upstairs, try­
ing to find a new weakness to attack.
The phone systems can be similar
to a course in advanced psychology.
The coaches upstairs and on the field
are trying to outguess the opponent.
The headsets hopefully reduce the
chance of being totally surprised; on
the other hand, their utilization can
increase the chance of spotting a
weakness in the opponent and ex­
ploiting it to its full potential.

The Story of Two Commitments
By ED FARRELL

journalism Intern, lUP Public Information Office
Unbeknown to anyone at the time, the grid fortunes
of Indiana University of Pennsylvania took a turn for the
better three years ago based on the decision of an in­
coming freshman.
For it was back in the fall of 1972 that George
“Butch" Aggen entered lUP and made a somewhat tough
decision regarding the future of his athletic career.
“I played basketball, baseball and track, as well as
football in high school," said Aggen, who earned six
letters while at Freeport High School, “but I didn't think
I was good enough to play anything but football in
college."
Lucky for lUP that the humble senior decided to
stick with the gridiron. The 6-1, 210-pounder has
emerged not only as coach Bill Neal's starting middle
guard the past two years, but he also earned National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) District 18
first team honors a year ago and appears headed for
quite a few more accolades during the '75 season.
Listening to Aggen describe why he likes football.

the quarterback.

it's easy to understand why he was so successful in other
previous athletic endeavors.
“I like fooball because of the competition and hit­
ting," said the criminology major, “and that's why I like
sports — the competition and because it's a test of your
abilities."
During his career as an lUP footballer, Aggen has
passed the “test" with flying colors. As a sophomore,
he vvas the club's third-ranked defensive performer with
a total of 147 points in the Indian coaches' defensive
rating system. Last year, he was listed as the number
two defender (137 points) behind Dave Thompson.
But despite the success and recognition that he has
received through his own hard work, the senior co­
captain was not hesitant in his praise of the lUP coach­
ing staff.
“They're excellent," he commented. “All of the
coaches know what they're doing and we operate and
work togeher as a team. In college you need more finesse
and you have to be a lot smarter on the field. They de­
velop these individual skills."
Although he began playing football in the seventh
grade, Aggen made a commitment a little later in life
that has proven to be even more significant.
“I made a commitment to Christianity as a fresh­
man," he related. “Before I made the commitment 1 be­
lieved in God, but I didn't really take Christianity serious­
ly. When I came to lUP, I began to question my faith
and it became more meaningful to me."
Does Aggen see any conflict between his being a
Christian and participating in a physically violent sport
like football?
“At times there can be (a conflict), but I have to
keep the game in perspective," the stocky senior related.
“I like to give a good hit, but I don't go out and try to
hurt someone. At times, I do lose my head, but I just
remind myself that it (football) is just a game."
The easy-going Aggen also feels that it is possible to
be a Christian-athlete and still maintain a reputation as
an aggressive football player.
“You should go all out to serve God," he said, “and
the same with football — you give all you've got and do
your job. If you do that, how can anyone question you?"
No one could question Butch Aggen even if they
wanted to. His confidence, temperament and strong be­
liefs have marked him as a leader both on and off the
football field. And, after listening to him speak in his
well-versed, self-assured tones, one has to believe him
when he states his goals for the 1975 season.
“Right now, I want to do the best I can, play on a
successful team and win the Pennsylvania Conference."
Simple and direct. That's Butch Aggen's style, a
style that has made him into “as good a middle guard
as we've had here," according to the man who should
know, coach Bill Neal.

lUP Program: One of the Best

Good Luck

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania football pro­
gram you are reading is one of the very best in the
entire United States!
Who says so?

INDIANS
Coney Island
Cocktail Lounge
Best Looking Bartenders
in Town

Dick Kunkle, of the sports department of the Ta­
coma (Washington) News-Tribune^ says so, and he's the
individual who rates football programs (a sampling of
three different ones from each college or university) for
the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA) each year. The NAIA has more than 600 schools
as members.
Last season, the NAIA, via Mr. Kunkle, rated the lUP
football publication as the FOURTH BEST in the coun­
try! But that's not all. In 1973 the magazine was also
FOURTH BEST. IN 1972 the magazine was SECOND
BEST, in 1971 SEVENTH BEST, in 1970 EIGHTH BEST, in
1969 TENTH BEST and in 1968 THIRD BEST.
Programs are judged on two major areas, content
and display, with display checked as to organization,
typography and editing. Mr. Kunkle emphasizes that a
football program should serve four purposes: as a guide
to the fans, as a memory book, as a record of the year
and as a public relations medium.
The lUP football program has been printed by The
Park Press of Indiana since 1946.

Pennsylvania Conference Report
by JED WEISBERGER

Sports Writer, Indiana Evening Gazette
LOCK HAVEN — Whatever the Lock Haven State
team he follows does this week at Clarion, veteran Bald
Eagle Sports Information Director Ross Nevel might be
smiling.
After what transpired last weekend, Nevel would
just love to sit in a cozy football stadium watching a
gridiron clash.
The Eagles' game with California had to be post­
poned due to the floods of Eloise last Saturday. The
Vulcans, the scheduled LH foe, couldn't get through
roads that were inundated with up to 20 feet of water.
"My house was even surrounded by water," Nevel,
a 40-year media man informed us. "I had to wade
through water to get inside. At least little damage was
done."
So, instead of manning the press box at Hubert Jack
Stadium, which sustained no water damage because it

lUP defensive tackle Nick Rodio, the 6-0, 210-pound
three-year starter from Jessup and Valley View High
School in Lackawanna County, was one of the bulwarks
last week as the Indians limited Shippensburg to 19
yards rushing in the 19-7 victory over the previously
undefeated Red Raiders. lUP currently ranks second
in total defense in the Western Division of the
Pennsylvania Conference.

lies on high ground, Nevel helped run an emergency
switchboard at Lock Haven State from 5 a.m. until 2 p.m.
last Saturday.
"Instead of watching football, our kids, hundreds of
them, offered assistance to flood victims in town," Nevel
revealed. "Thank heavens this wasn't like Agnes of three
years ago. Another flood would've killed this town."
Are postponements new in the Pennsylvania Con­
ference? Nevel could remember only three in his 40 years
on the job at Lock Haven. One was in 1953, when a 30inch snowstorm struck Mansfield, and another in the
1950s when a hurricane wiped out a Lock Haven game
with Maryland State.
Ironically, Mansfield and Bloomsburg also were un­
able to play last week due to the waters of the Susque­
hanna. Telphone communications in both areas were
out last weekend.
"We're looking forward to Indiana's coming to our
new Jack Stadium," Nevel mentioned. "From what every­
one's hearing of Lynn Hieber, they'll all want to see him."
Speaking of Indiana and its All-American signalcaller, the Braves' game with Edinboro today takes on
much importance. A win over the Scots would give lUP
the inside track to the PC West title.
Edinboro bopped Slippery Rock, which is not play­
ing well, 24-19 last week, while the Indians handled
Shippensburg 19-7 to run their seasonal mark to 3-0.
The Rockets, with an 0-1 league record, sit in the
PC West cellar. Believe it or not. West Chester, last sea­
son's PC East champ, is suffering the same fate after los­
ing a 24-20 PC East encounter to Denny Douds' East
Stroudsburg club.
"Edinboro's been a hot and cold team," revealed
Slippery Rock Sports Information Director John Car­
penter. "If Indiana catches them right, they could record
that key victory."
Shippensburg, which hopes to rebound, plays Slip­
pery Rock today, while Kutztown, a 17-12 upset winner
over Millersville, is at East Stroudsburg in a key PC East
hook-up.
Statistically speaking, the Braves are third in team
rushing with a 157 yards per game norm, behind Clar­
ion's 256.5 and Edinboro's 178.7. Passing figures show
lUP easily on top of the heap, with 215 yards per game.
The Braves also lead in total offense (372.0) and are
second in rushing defense (88.7) and total defense
(191.7).
Hieber leads all PC passers with a 15.0 per game
completion average, and in individual total offense with
an impressive 249.3 norm. Len Pesotini, with 22 catches
for 303 yards, is the loop's top receiver, while Rege
D'Angelo, with nine hauls for 127 markers is fifth.
