Scot Seniors in Final Stadium Appearance Against Vulcans
His 1971 Pioneers who played in the Boardwalk Bowl led
Quarterback Dan McHenry will see his final start against
the Vulcans where he has been most effective directing the
Scots' veer offense. He has also been on target through the
air with five touchdown tosses for 586 yards and a 54
percent accuracy figure.
Also adding punch to the Scot offense has been flanker
Bob Glaser with 11 receptions for 126 yards and one
touchdown on the year. Glaser started coming up with
clutch performances midway through the campaign to
keep the Scots on a direct route to a winning season.
Perhaps the biggest void will be along the defensive line
where tackles Jeff Shaw and Rick McMahon, along with
end Kevin Erickson have been sterling in the trenches.
Shaw leads the team in fumble recoveries with four and is
currently tied for the lead in tackles with 103 stops.
McMahon has a pair of errant pigskins to his credit and is
fifth on the tackle charts with 87 hits, while Erickson is next
behind him with 63 stops.
The Scot coaching staff will also have to set its sights on
some outstanding replacements in the secondary where
Brad Crawshaw, George Miller and Jim Terry will knock
down enemy passes for the last time. Both Crawshaw and
Terry have earned reputations as hard hitters, while Miller
has numerous times come up with sensational individual
efforts. Miller owns three interceptions on the season and
has already blocked three field goal and one extra point
attempts.
A victory over the invading Firegods would insure
Edinboro of a runner-up spot in the Pennsylvania
Conference's Western Division. ESC is currently 3-2 in the
West and owns a 5-4 record overall.
California will pin its offensive hopes on sophomore
quarterback Rich Groves who has tossed for 687 yards and
four scores. His primary receivers are Charlie Harper and
Jim Aerie, both of whom are, ironically, his two running
backs and not his wide receivers. Harper is the team's top
pass catcher with 17 grabs for 277 yards, while Aerie has
the leading per game mark in the rushing department with
Harper close behind.
Standouts for the defensive unit, along with Robey, are
middle guard Tom Jackson, the team's leading tackier with
129 stops and seven quarterback sacks. Other top
performers are defensive back Jack Durant and linebacker
Jeff Zigray.
Durant leads the Conference in interceptions with seven
aerial thefts and Zigray has picked off three opposition
passes.

TODAY'S GAME

Edinboro State will be looking to close out its third
straight winning grid season today when they host the
Vulcans of California State (Pa.).
Coming off a 16-0 loss at Indiana last week, the
downstaters have been able to grab only one win in the
Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division this year and
that was a 10-0 shutout over Lock Haven. The Firegods
have several outstanding performers who will invade Sox
Harrison Stadium, but as of yet have not been able to fuse
together either offensively or defensively.
With neither Edinboro nor California headed for any kind
of post-season action, most eyes will be on a group of
graduating seniors who will be donning their collegiate grid
uniforms for the last time. Seeing action for the final time at
Edinboro State are defensive back Brad Crawshaw
(Franklin), defensive end Kevin Erickson (Jamestown, NY),
wide receiver Bob Glaser (Pittsburgh), center Doug
Goodman (Sarver), wide receiver Howard Hackley
(Canonsburg), tight end Steve Larson (Jamestown, NY),
quarterback Dan McHenry (Arnold), defensive tackle Rick
McMahon (Stow, O.), defensive back George Miller
(Johnstown), guard Lou Provenzano (Arnold), defensive
tackle Jeff Shaw (Erie) and strong safety Jim Terry
(Kulpmont).
In direct contrast with the Scots' even dozen of
graduating gridders, California lists only five players who
will be gone via the diploma route. Tops among these is pro
prospect Dave Robey, a 6-5, 220-pound defensive tackle.
As far as the record book is concerned, the senior exiting
with the most outstanding career will be receiver Howard
Hackley who has already inked his name eight times in the
ESC record book. He owns Scot records for most yards in a
game (190), a season (807), a career (2356), most
receptions in a game (9), a season (39), career receptions
(123) and most career touchdown passes with a current
total of 16. The Canonsburg ace has also tied the mark for
most scoring catches with his seven TD's for the year. He
can still extend several of the records with any catches in
today's game.
A trio of veterans will make their last appearance paving
the way for Scot running backs in the likes of offensive
performers Lou Provenzano, Doug Goodman and Steve
Larson. Larson has also made his presence known
throughout the year in the receiving department where he
has grabbed ten passes for 162 yards and two scores.

There are a few of us who could relate
to this scene described by Sports Illus
trated's Frank Deford in his novel Cut
'N' Run: "And what could she tell
them of their father when he bellowed
strange noises of joy and anguish from
the club cellar and then bolted up
stairs for another beer, gurgling and
disarrayed? . . . 'Why does Daddy act
that sometimes?' little jerry asked,
ish, child,' Rosalijp said, tousling
hair. 'It's only Epotball. When the
moon that come^pfter Christmas is
full, the evil spirrts will depart from
him, and he will be your father
again'."
. Deford's hero might well have been
a friend of mine who met his wife with
t flowers and champagne as she re
turned from the hospital with their
first-born. The new father poured a
round, .downed a glass, mumbled a
few apdjogies to the horror-strickeh
grandparents, then rushed out the
door to catch a local college game.

pastime. I understand the so-called
mysteries or fine points of the game,
but expertise in single-wing forma
tions and end runs does not heighten
the degree to which I have always en
joyed football; it has only redefined
the enjoying. When I didn't know
beans about football, I liked it and was
involved in it. It is a sociological
phenomenon, for heaven's sake. How
can you not be involved?
In fact,the more I ruminate, football
is one of those marvelous threads that
runs through our lives, which time and
again we can measure our progress (or
lack of it) against, an institution like
McDonald's and the Fourth of July.
For most American women, football
became an integral part of their lives
in high school. An activity which
theretofore had simply consumed our
male counterparts suddenly scooped
us in, and this game became the
weekly social event. If I am ever in a
plane crash in the Andes, 1 will credit
my ability to withstand unthinkable
cold to my training at high school
games. When I was growing up in the
Midwest, the fashion was wool bermuda shorts and matching knee socks,
very cute and very skimpy on Decem
ber Friday nights. Often I looked long
ingly at the ponchos the players wore
and wondered why the people around
me kept saying, "Those poor guys. I'll
bet they're freezing." They had coats.
I had a mohair sweater.
On one particular night, a
cheerleader—one of the seniors—
frantically began the chant, "Hold that
line!" which many of us in the stands
obediently echoed. Then a guy in our
midst called the cheerleader's name
and shouted, "Hey, dumbell, we got
the ball!" It was a humiliation I prom
ised myself I would never suffer, and
when I later became a cheerleader,
held true to my vow. At no time in my
career did I ever begin a technical
cheer. Sticking to the basics like "Go!
Fight! Win!" proved most intelligent.
Touchdown or 15-yard penalty, no
body could take issue with "Go! Fight!
Win!"

against the South. Nobody cared who
won. The jamboree was for the
coaches to try out "unproven" talent
and precarious plays, and for the rest
of us to pass judgement on the kids
from other schools.
That my high school had the second
worse team in the conference was
only slightly irritating to me and my
friends. Amazing how we could get so
emotionally involved with each set of
downs, cry as the time ran out and we
trailed 45-6, and then dance at a post
game sock hop with the very people
who had inflicted our pain. Even now I
have to believe no one really minded
the losses, not even our coach. He
kept his job through losing season
after losing season, and informed the
newspapers each fall that "This is the
year we'll take all the marbles." He al
ways had "some fine boys" on the
squad, an "intelligent" quarterback,
some "bruising" tackles and a pass de
fense that needed "a little work." As
for the players, if they had been so in
volved, would they have smiled and
waved to us from the sidelines?
Men remember specific plays, the
superstar halfback who never
amounted to anything and where their
team finished in the league. Women
remember the bonfires, the halftime
shows, the cold and whether or not
their team lost. Six of one, half a
dozen of the other. Men have their
technical memories; women, their aes
thetic ones. You don't have to know a
referee is calling time out when he
puts his hands on his hips to be
wrapped up in the excitement of a ball

An Immortal in the History of College Football
iby Tobin Spirer
If
■IMe had a lopsided grin and a nose
permanently—if endearingly—flat
tened with a baseball bat. When he
smiled or scowled, crow's-foot lines
stretching away from his eyes would
deepen into furrows nearly as wide as
the jowls below his chin. It was a
heavy, fleshy, finely sensitive face be
longing to a man who was to be
canonized as The Greatest Football
Coach—ever. P.T, Barnum would have
been proud.
Knute K. Rockne—it's pronounced
Canute—first appeared in Voss, Nor
way, March 4, 1888, the son of a car
riage maker and heir to a bankrupt
line of landowners. As with so many
other Europeans of this period, Rockne's father pulled up stakes, moving
the family and his son to Chicago in
1893.
Although Rockne's methods might
have been suspect by a few of the
heretical unfaithful, no one could
argue with his results—more than
anyone else he popularized the game
of football and made Notre Dame the
country's outstanding football institu
tion. During his 13-year regime (19181931) his teams won 105 games, lost 12
and were tied five times for a .881
percentage—a record no other coach
can claim.
Although he could legitimately qual
ify as the best grid tactician of his age,
he was the architect of his own fame.
Promotion, hyperbole and a tearchoked, husky whisper in the dark
confines of a half-time locker room

forerunner of the modern forward
pass, the backfield shift and five un
beaten Notre Dame teams that were to
make college football the greatest
spectacle in the land.
Rockne's early years can be glossed
over. He was your typical all-around
athlete, mixing football and baseball
with an easy familiarity, doing best in
track and field where he ran the halfmile and once set an indoor pole vault
record of 12 feet, four inches, not at
all bad in 1906. But Rockne's personal
athletic career only has a bearing on
his future in terms of where it led
him—to the then obscure halls of
Notre Dame University.
Four years as a clerk in the (Chicago
Post Office passed between high
school and Rockne's entrance at South
Bend, years where he earned his col
lege dollars and played with several
Chicago athletic clubs. The real be
ginning, though, came in 1910 when
he began college rooming with Gus
Dorias (later of the famous Dorias to
Rockne forward pass combination)
and tried out for the Notre Dame var
sity, stuttering through lumpy frosh
arfd undistinguished sophomore sea
sons to earn mention as an AllAmerican possibility after his junior
year, and captain of the team his
senior.
Although Rockne was good, his
greatest fame as a player came during
his junior season against Army. All
through the previous summer Rockne
and Dorias had worked together as life
guards and table hashers at a Lake Erie
resort. Between the two they per
fected a workable—although beachbred—forward pass used to over
whelm the Cadets, 35-13, that Fall.
As an undergraduate, Rockne evi
denced a singular aptitude for chemis
try, parlaying a job as janitor of the
chemistry lab into a graduate assistantship under Father Julius Nieuwland,
the school's noted research chemist.
When he accepted the post, Rockne
demanded he be allowed to assist
Jesse Harper coach the football team,
a move that was to pay off four years
later when Harper retired to his cattle
ranch in Kansas, recommending
Rockne to the head coaching spot.

1. Cut costs on disability insur

2. Keep your valuables in a safe
place. You may be able to lower
fine arts, stamp and coin collection
insurance rates if you store the items
in bank vaults, home vaults or fire
proof safes.
3. Go for a bigger hunk of life.
Many insurance companies offer dis
counts for larger policies. So avoid
buying a bundle of small policies
when one might do.
4. Don’t make the wrong move
with moving insurance. Before

may already be covered.
policy premiums are too high for the
value received. Many would be bet
ter off with a straight life policy.
7. Be a boating expert. Some
companies will give you up to a 10%
discount if you complete an approved
power-boat handling course.
8. Increase deductibles on
your business insurance. You
could save up to 18% on your build
ing insurance premium by carrying
a $1,0(X) deductible.
9. Keep an extra set of accounts
receivable. If you keep a duplicate
set at another location, you could
save up to 50% on the accounts re
ceivable premium.
10. Check into I.R.A. retirement
plans. They provide a good way to
buy your life insurance through taxdeductible dollars.
11. Don’t get stranded by your
auto insurance. Check to see if
your comprehensive provides trans
portation expenses if your car is
stolen. You may be able to save
yourself some car fare.
12. Go for the big deductibles.
5. Check your life policy be
fore you fly. If you have adequate
life insurance coverage, you won’t
have to buy expensive airline trip
transit policies.
You could save a lot on your premi
ums if you carry a $200 collision
deductible rather than, a $100 de
ductible—and take a $50 deductible
on comprehensive. And any loss
over $100 is deductible from your
income tax.
thing you can to avoid losses to your
home. Check for hazards. Install
alarms. Buy good locks, and use
them. Keep fire department, police
and emergency medical aid num
bers handy. It’s the best way in the
world to fight rising insurance costs.
14. Don’t look for bargains in
health insurance. A cheap policy
just may not be adequate. And this
is one place where it’s better to have
too much than too little.
15. Buy insurance from an agent
who’s not just a company man.
A local independent agent, who rep

many different insurance plans, may
be able to get you a better deal. Be

lege football games cut right across
every political, ideological and sexual
boundary. For a couple of hours,
everyone has the same thing in mind.
There were few constants in my four
years of college, as I moved from
sorority pledge to campus radical to
cynical job-seeker, but no home game
found me anywhere than in my
stadium seat. I traded my Villager
tweeds for an army jacket and jeans,
but I would not have given up my sea
son ticket for anybody's revolution.
As a freshman, just being a part of a
crowd of 65,000 was a heady experi
ence. To get tickets to the game we
were required to sit in the card section
which did not please all the men, but
could not have been better for me. As
part of a mass, I learned a few of those
elusive nuances of the game. All you
had to do was watch the yell leaders.
They knew when to say "Hold that
lineand by the end of my first sea
son, so did j. All of us looked forward
to touchdowns, not just for their nu
merical value, but because a TD in
sured a shower of contraband toilet
paper rolls. I still think fondly of those
cascading streamers which turned the
basest of dorm supplies into a thing of
beauty. And the personal triumph of
smuggling two or three of them past
the guards!
That's a difference between men
and women. We are blessed and bur
dened with handbags and, as a result,
smuggling has become our special
skill. A cool and indifferent air has al
ways worked well for me. I could get
my ticket and student ID out of the
same bag that held a half dozen rolls
of toilet paper, and no one was the
wiser. As I advanced in age, and our
seats improved each year, my
girlfriends and I took to smuggling in a
little pick-me-up now and then. Never
fans of mixing or depending on the
Coke vendor, whatever we used to
ward off the autumn cold, we carted in
one bottle. In senior year, my room
mates and I hit upon cream sherry as
our refreshment. As the fraternity men
around us juggled thermoses and cups
of orange juice, we simply passed our
lady's drink back and forth, and grew
fantastically content as the afternoon
sun disappeared behind the stands.
Surely there is no male or female
perspective on those lovely Saturday
afternoons. The evening was ahead of
us, our lives ahead of that, and our
heroes were down there toiling away
for our emotional entertainment. Time
has a way of suspending itself on a col
lege football Saturday. So too,
perhaps, do the differences between
the sexes.
A thrill is a thrill, after all, and it
takes no one but the neophyte to ap
preciate a long run or an artful pass.
Maybe more than ever, I realized that
in a scrub game I played one Sunday
on my dormitory lawn. It was late April
and the first warm day of spring. The
entire campus had rushed itself into
cutoffs and tee-shirts and several of us
had been sunbathing. One of my
friends produced a football from her
room, and we began to throw it
around, finally splitting into sides and
scrimmaging. Between the 10 of us,
we knew essentially that the ball had
to be snapped, thrown, caught and
run with. That was about it. I advised
my team that I would appear to throw
to my roommate, but would really toss
to our friend Louise. I took the ball
from my center, faked, let fly a six or
seven-yard bomb which was miracul
ously caught and delivered safely be
tween two saplings, for six. It was one
of the finest moments of my life, and
somewhere in my exhilaration, I
thought, "This must be what it is all
about."
Did I say men remember the specific
plays?

KNUTE ROCKNE
proved the appointment, divine inspi
ration notwithstanding.
It's often said that great men go
through a starry merger of ability, hard
work and luck. Rockne enjoyed all
three in abundance. He came on
strong from the beginning, utilizing a
golden tongue with a stageman's
sense of timing and a technician's
grasp of the game. His teams in the
early years met increasingly tougher
competition, winning far more games
than they lost and skyrocketing into
national prominence following Rockne's happy discovery of All-American
George Gipp.
The noteworthy Gipp wasn't an AllAmerican in 1916, but a tall freshman
in campus clothes punting a football
for amusement on a deserted field.
One could almost see the gleam in
Rockne's eyes when he saw those 70yard kicks. From Rockne's autobiog
raphy:
"What's your name?" asked the
coach.
"George Gipp," replied the lad. "I
come from Calumet."
"Played high school football?"
Rockne asked.
"Nope," Gipp answered. "Don't
particularly care for it. Baseball's my
dish."
Rockne smiled. Gipp was to go on
to become Notre Dame's first AllAmerican and the greatest football
player in the school's history. He
could and frequently did punt a ball 80
yards in the air, throw it 60 yards and
single-handedly destroy opposing
teams. In 32 college games, Gipp
scored 83 touchdowns.
Gipp, of course, was the source of
one of Rockne's more publicized half
time gambits. The star died in 1920 of a
streptococcic infection of the throat in
a decade barren of antibiotics, leaving
a deathbed request to Rockne that
". . . when things are wrong and the
breaks are beating the boys—tell them
to go in there with all they've got and
win one for the Gipper."
Down to his last trick eight years
later when Army was taking it to Notre
Dame at the end of the first half,
Rockne reached down with a truly in
spired half-time show starring the
memory of George Gipper and The
Last Request. Notre Dame, of course,
went on to win.
In 1922, two years after Gipp's
death, Rockne was to half inspire-half
stumble into another pleasant little
scene of national prominence. Harry
Stuhidreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley
and Elmer Layden didn't play as a
backfield in their freshmen year. They
saw a good deal of action with the first
year outfit, but not as a unit and indi
vidually didn't especially impress
Rockne.
But in the Fall of 1922 Notre Dame
had lost all of its veteran backfield ex
cept for Paul Castner at fullback and
Frank Thomas at QB. Rockne ex
perimented with new talent and
eventually evolved the backfield
combination—Stuhidreher at quarter
back, Layden at fullback and Crowley
and Miller at the halfback spots—that
became known as the "Four Horse
men."
Averaging only 158 pounds, the de
ceptive backfield functioned behind a
rugged line called the "Seven Mules,"
taking the 1924 team undefeated and
untied through ten games against the
country's best. Of Rockne's five un
beaten teams (1919, 1920, 1924, 1929
and 1930) this one was the most widely
heralded, thanks also to Grantland
Rice, who undoubtedly did as much
for college football with his pen as
Rockne did with his Gipper, his for
ward pass and his backfield shift.
Rice, the dean of sportswriters then
and posthumously now, put together a
classic lead paragraph following the
1924 October game between the Fight
ing Irish and Army. From the New
York Herald-Tribune, Oct. 18, 1924:
"Outlined against a blue-gray Octo
ber sky, the Four Horsemen rode
again. In dramatic lore they are known
as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and
Death. These are only aliases. Their
real names are Stuhidreher, Miller,
Crowley and Layden. ..."
Among Knute Rockne’s traits was a pen
chant for fiery halftime talks.
continued from 4t
Somehow Rockne would always
carry it off. 1920 gave him Gipp's last
year, his second undefeated team and
his first so-called national champion
ship. The Four Horsemen and the
Seven Mules gave him his second
crown while his third national title was
won in 1929 when he was seriously ill
with phlebitis.
The pressures—coaching, athletic
direction, public speaking and his own
brilliance—were catching up with
Rockne. His fourth national title, his
last, came in 1930 and, almost to be
expected, he went out in style. Still ill
with a potentially fatal bloodclot,
Rockne guided his team to an unde
feated national championship season
over the cream of Southern
Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech,
Pittsburgh, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Drake, Northwestern, Army and
Southern California.
He even had time for a final stunt,
pulling off another classical psycholog
ical master stroke by letting everyone
believe his team was crippled with the
loss of fullback Lafry Mullins to injury.
Just before the game he switched Paul
(Buck) O'Connor to fullback, fired him
up with the "big chance" idea, and
sprung him on the unsuspecting Tro
jans. Southern Cal lost, 27-0.
In his coaching career Rockne suf
fered only 12 defeats, half of them
coming in two seasons, four in 1928
and two in 1925. His five victories in
'28 still made it a winning season. Of
the 11 other years, five were unbeaten
while six had only one defeat. Four of
the defeats were major upsets: Iowa,
7-10 in 1921; Nebraska, 7-14 and 0-17
in 1923 and 1925, and Carnegie Tech,
0-19 in 1926. He coached a total of 14
All-American players and was voted
the No. 1 coach of football's first cen
tury in 1969, 38 years after his death.
Rockne died in 1931, snuffed out in
a plane crash. He was a complex man,
one who became an orator, an actor, a
scientist, a teacher, a humorist, a psy
chologist, and ajalesman.
"Rockne," said Harry Mehre—who
played center for him and later
coached successfully at Georgia and
Mississippi—"sold football to his
players with a positive approach, not
'to die gamely,' but to 'fight to live.'
He brought it up from the thousanddollar class to the million-dollar class.
Rockne captured the imagination of
America."
The country—and the game—still
haven't forgotten.

The Man Who Runs The Other Team's Plays
by Joe McLaughlin, Houston CHRONICLE
c
^^aturday's hero, more than not, is
the quarterback of the college foot
ball team. He is the ONE you read
about in the Sunday paper after a big
victory. He is the ONE who seems to
have the world in his arms, a bevy of
girls on each arm, the one everyone
looks up to. He is the glamor guy.
The winner. After all, isn't he the one
who threw three touchdown passes,
ran for another and led his team to
the big victory?
Certainly, the No. 1 quarterback of
a college football team often gets the
chief acclaim. Rightfully so, in most
instances.
But what of the quarterback you
rarely hear about, the one who toils
in anonymity during those intermi
nable daily workouts? Namely, the
No. 3 quarterback—the one who
never sees action on game day.
Sometimes he's a red shirt who one
day will find his place in the sun.
More often, he will never read his
name in the Sunday paper because he
will not play in a game. What makes
these invaluable young men tick?
Why do they continue the seemingly
endless daily grind of football drills?
Coaches will tell you the quarter
back who runs the other team's of
fense against his team's No. 1 defense
often is a person of unusual inner
strength, one with strong character
and moral fiber. The better qualified
a third-string quarterback is, the bet
ter the overall team defense becomes,
as it were. This is because the young
man who realizes his position and
understands it fully will utilize every
skill at his command, ad libbing pos
sibilities the defense might face on
the following Saturday.
One such third-unit quarterback
says, "If you can grab hold of the
group you're with and attain some
leadership, the first team will auto
matically sense this and gain your
respect. It's the belief of every player
that he should not be here (on the The 3rd string QB usually sees limited game action, but gets his workout in practice
third unit) and it's his constant belief as the “enemy leader.”

that he won't continlie there that
makes him strive to perform better
and move up."
Another one says, "It's different
today since freshmen can play. A
freshman quarterback, realistically. Is
not ready to play college football and
a year or two of working on the scout
team should be helpful. A lot of good
players can't handle the pressure
mentally, though. In my case, I was
just happy to have a scholarship. That
was reward enough."
One player who spent two years as
a third-unit quarterback, one who
finally reached the pinnacle, says,
"I might not have made it if I hadn't
gained that experience. When I was
doing that, I felt I had to prove some
thing, that I could play quarterback. I
set my mind to that end and it eventu
ally worked out. The one thing you
can't judge about a player is his
mental capacity to cope with the
situation and if he has the strength
to withstand it. A quarterback has got
to be mentally tough at all times. He
has to be in command of those
around him. That's where leadership
comes from. A player can sense it
if a quarterback doesn't have that
quality."
A quarterback who spent five years
in college and never made the first
team says, "Naturally, I wanted to
start, but I was unlucky. I came along
when there were better quarterbacks
ahead of me. But I wouldn't trade
my years on the team for anything. I
think just being on the team was a
great thrill. I have gained lifelong
friends. We had an association that's
hard to describe. It was like being a
part of a large family. We were al
ways together, win or lose."
"The best teams we've had," one
coach says, "were when we had an
excellent athlete who quarterbacked
the scout team. It's simple. He made
the No. 1 defense work harder and
accomplish more. If he had not had
some talent, the defense would not
have had to work as hard. It all goes
hand in hand. The better your third
group is, the better your No. 1 group
will be."
The psychological effect on the
third-unit quarterback, of course, de
pends mostly on the individual. If he
does not believe he will improve and
work to that end, he will not help
the overall team.
"Look," says one scout-team quar
terback who never made No. 1. "I
played with the greatest bunch of
guys in the world. I didn't start any
games, but they all respected me. I
was knocked around every day, but
every time I got knocked down, I'd
get up and grjn and tell them they
made a good tackle. Pretty soon, they
knew they weren't going to intimidate
me. I got their respect that way/
"I'm not saying everyone cduld
do that, but I did. And today I've got
as many lasting friendships fr^^im my
years on the team as any starter has.
To me, football helped me become a
man. I loved every minute of it."
Clearly, a third-string quarterback
can be a winner, too.

The handwriting was on the wali.
It clearly said that the time had
come for a new kind of 6-passenger
car. One that would use fuel and space
more sparingly yet still provide the
kind of room and ride you've found so
comfortable and comforting in our
popular full-size Chevys of the past.
The car is here.
If s called The New Chevrolet.
More head room
The New Chevrolet stands a
little taller than last yeafs full-size
Chevy, which perhaps explains why it
looks so very proud in profile.
Inside, there's a little more clear
ance for heads and hats and hairdos,
both in the back seat and up front.
A new acoustical ceiling helps
keep things nice and quiet.
More lea room
We've increased the rear seat
leg room by an inch in The Sedan
(below) and by nearly two inches in
The Coupe.
It will make a significant difference
in riding comfort, especially on trips.
The straight-up styling of the car
makes it easier to climb into and out of.
More trunk room
The trunk is truly enormous, more than
a cubic foot bigger than last year, with
a nice flat floor that makes it easy to
arrange things.
It's one of many pleasant surprises
awaiting you in The New Chevrolet.
More efficient
The New Chevrolet is, by design, a
very lean but very strong automobile,
with not a trace of flab anywhere on its
beautiful body, chassis or frame.
And it pays off at the gas pump.
In EPA tests. The New Chevrolet is
rated at 22 mpg highway, 17 mpg city
with the new standard Six, auto, trans.
and 2.73 axle. Remember, EPA figures
are estimates. The actual mileage you
get will vary depending on the type of
driving you do, your driving habits, your
car's condition and availabie equip
ment. (In California, EPA mileage
figures are lower.)
The New Chevrolet.
\Ne made it right for the times
without making it wrong for the people.
Nbu're going to love it.
Now thafe more like it.

G.lame of the Week?Game of the
Year? Game of the Decade? Or Game
of the Century? Whatever your choice,
the American public has been treated
to the best of NCAA football televised
by ABC Sports which has captured the
color and clamor of "the college
game" for the past 10 consecutive
years.
It has been a decade of glitter on the
gridiron where all too often that fine
line between delirium and despair is
drawn by an inch of the sideline chain,
a second's tick on the scoreboard
clock or an unpredictable bounce of
the ball on the goal-post cross-bar.
These are but a few of the ingre
dients which have spiced the college
football menu over the past 10 years,
and for a sampler of the decade's Top
Ten televised titanics, producer Chuck
Howard went out on the limb.
"There's been a wide variety of truly
outstanding games over the years,"
Howard said, "and coming up with the
top 10 hasn't been easy. The games I
have selected, however, are particular
classics and should stir vivid memories
from football fans all over."
When it comes to the best of college
football, the Emmy Award winning
producer literally has seen them all.
Here are Howard's "Top Ten:"
• Spartan fans have not forgotten. And
Irish fans have not forgiven. It all
began with the greatest build-up ac
corded a college football game in
modern times. A classic showdown. A
heralded epic. A monumental battle. It
was No. 1 ranked Notre Dame facing
No. 2 ranked Michigan State, both un
defeated and untied, in what some
had called "The Came of the Cen
tury." An over-flow throng of 80,011
crammed in Spartan Stadium (regular
seating capacity: 76,000) and the rau
cous rooters of that Saturday afternoon,
Nov. 19, 1966, sat drained and dehyd^
rated after Notre Dame's Joe Azzaro
kicked a 28-yard field goal on the first
play of the fourth quarter to tie the
game at 10-10. With Irish quarterback
Terry Hanratty injured on the
sidelines, unknovyn Coley O'Brien was
in field command of Ara Parseghian's
troops who were battling the Spartans
to a fourth period standoff. As the
clock wore down, tension rose both
on the field and in the stands. Who
would get the next break? A penalty
... a fumble recovery ... a pass in
terception . . . something . . . any
thing. But my Cod, not a tie! In the
final minutes Notre Dame took over
first-and-10 on its own 30. Desperation
pass? Trick play? Parseghian said NO,
and time was running out. Six ground
Late of Notre Dame, Ara Parsegian had teams which were malor factors in two of
the ten best games teievised over the iast 10 years.
THE BEST OF lO
by Bonn Bernstein, Media Director, ABC Sports
plays later, the final gun sounded leav
ing emblazoned on the Spartan
Stadium scoreboard a 10-10 verdict
which became one of the most
talked-about and second-guessed
games in the history of college foot
ball. It was the final game of the sea
son for Duffy Daugherty's Spartans
while Ara Parseghian and his Irish
went on to beat USC and win the na
tional title.
• Everything was at stake! The national
championship. The Big Eight title. And
pride between two of the nation's
most respected football powers of
1971. Bob Devaney's Nebraska Cornbuskers
ranked
No. 1
and,
spearheaded by jerry Tagge and
johnny Rodgers, were going into
Norman, Oklahoma to battle Chuck
Fairbanks' Sooners, ranked No. 2 and
led by jack Mildren and Gregg Pruitt.
It was to be a bloodbath, witnessed by
63,385 fanatic fans who packed Owen
Field on November 25, 1971. Would
you believe that by midway in the final
period 59 points had been scored?
With 7:05 remaining in the game, Ne
braska was behind, 31-28, and started
to drive from its own 26 yard line.
Plowing 74 yards in 12 plays, runningback Jeff Kinney scored the last of
his four touchdowns of the day by
plunging two yards over left tackle
with 1:38 left on the Clock asi the
Cornhuskers captured the conference
crown and the national champion$hlp,
35-31. Nebraska went on to beat Ala
bama in the Orange Bowl and (Dklahoma took its frustration out on Au
burn in the Sugar Bowl winning 40-22.
• The President of the United States
was there. The Rev. Dr. Billy Graham
gave the invocation. And native Glenn
Campbell returned to Arkansas to root
on the Hogs. So did the majority of
the 44,500 standing room only crowd
in Razorback Stadium, proud and boiscontinued on 15t

terous University of Arkansas fans clad
in traditional red, who had come for
what Texas' Darrell Royal had prophet
ically dubbed "The Big Shootout." It
took place on a raw, gray December 6
afternoon in 1969. College football was
celebrating its 100th year and Coach
Frank Broyles of Arkansas respectfully
acknowledged the Centennial by in
stalling artifical turf in Razorback
Stadium. Both Texas and Arkansas
sported 9-0-0 records going into the
game and were ranked No. 1 and No.
2, respectively. The national champi
onship and Southwest Conference ti
tles were on the line. It was another
one of those tailor-made titanics as the
eyes of the college football world were
focused on Fayetteville, Arkansas
(pop: 30,000). Ahead 14-0 after three
quarters of play, one might conclude
that Arkansas was having things its
own way. Texas argued to the con
trary. And quite convincingly. Towards
the end of the third period. Royal's
roughnecks had started an 80-yard
march, interrupted only by the sound
of the quarter gun. On the first play of
the fourth stanza, quarterback James
Street scrambled 42 yards for a
touchdown on a broken play. The call
was for a pass, but with no receivers in
sight. Street picked up some excellent
downfield blocking and danced down
the right side to make it 14-6. Darrell
Royal honored his signal caller by
selecting him the man to advance over
left tackle and register a crucial twopoint conversion. Against some hefty
Arkansas adversaries. Street ac
complished his mission and the Hogs
vyere sweating in Fayetteville. With a
little over six minutes remaining in the
quarter, Texas had the ball on its own
36 yard line and used over two min
utes in advancing seven yards to the
43. At that point with a palpitating
fourth-and-three situation. Street
completed a desperation 44-yard pass
to Randy Peschel who enhanced the

second half and scooting 100 yards to
the dismay of Ara Parseghian and his
fighting Irish. Four more third quarter
touchdowns were to come: two by
Davis on six and four yard scamps and
two by receiver John McKay, who col
lected 18 and 44 yard TD aerials from
his old high school battery mate,
Hayden. Those 35 points in the third

Of the following six games on Chuck
Howard's Top Ten of the Decade list,
three of them were decided by one
point; one by two points and two by
three points. The games are listed
in chronological order:
• Texas A&M coach Gene Stallings
spoke clearly and authoritatively. He
told his kickoff man, All-American
linebacker Bill Hobbs, not to kick to
Southern Methodist's Jerry Levias. The
Aggies had just climaxed a 58-yard,
13-play scoring drive which put them
ahead of SMU, 17-13, in college foot
ball's opening game of the 1967 sea
son. It was a see-saw battle from the
outset at A&M's Kyle Field and with a
flimsy four point lead late in the fourth
period, Stallings wanted to play it safe.
Keep the ball away from the danger
ous Levias, he ordered. As one might
already conjecture, Hobbs sailed the
pigskin into Jerry Levias' waiting arms
and the flashy Mustang took it from
his own 24 to the 42. With regular
quarterback Mike Livingston on the
sidelines, a pint-sized (5'-6" might be
stretching it) signal caller named Inez
Perez completed five straight passes
(including three for 29, 11 and 12
yards) and it was first-and-10 on the
Aggie six yard line with time running
out. On second down at the six and
four seconds left on the clock, Perez
pierced Levias in the end zone and
SMU eked out a 20-17 victory. Texas
A&M bounced back to win six league
games, collect the Southwest Confer
ence championship and defeat Ala
bama in the Cotton Bowl. SMU, on the
other hand, lost its next seven straight
games and finished the 1967 season
with a dismal 3-7 mark.

AND OTHER TURFS
by Del Black, Kansas City STAR
■ wMlod sod, the rug, the carpet.
Most major college gridirons are wallto-wall artificial turf.
Groundskeepers who shook their
heads in wonderment as the carpet
was installed often curse the greenthatched surface and harken to the
"good old days" when they could
negotiate a lawn mower instead of a
vacuum cleaner and replace a divot
rather than wield a brush to remove
stains.
But it was these same custodians of
the turf who before the late '60s
cringed when it rained on game days,
fought with coaches who demanded
to practice when they wanted to wa
ter, and despised every band director
and stomping musician — it always
rained on Band Day—who dared prac
tice and/or perform on the precious
blades of turf.
The Saturday afternoon quagmire
has become surfing on the turf for
football players. Certainly, photo
16.
graphers are unable to capture the
futility of mud-caked combatants, but
fans who once delighted in seeing
mudhole tackling by unidentifiable
participants can get just as much of a
kick from a sliding pursuer of a skid
ding football.
From the press box, writers and
sportscasters don't have to guess who
is carrying the ball, who made the
tackle, or from what yard-line the ac
tion is taking place.
Most coaches will agree that artifi
cial turf is the backdrop for a better
game. The quick and swift benefit. The
slow and plodding look quicker and
swifter, until overmatched and outmanned. And that becomes a coaching
reality on any surface and in any
weather.
Mod-sod madness began with the
construction of the Astrodome in
Houston, when officials realized natu
ral grass wouldn't grow inside a build
ing.
To fit the need, AstroTurf was in
vented. And competition for other
playing
fields—most of them
outdoors—saw the development and
installation of artificial playing surfaces
called Tartan and Poly-Turf.
Possibly, for a better reason than
any, installation of artificial turf be
came a status symbol, a ploy in recruit
ing.
AstroTurf has a grassy-type, blade
like texture while the other two re
semble carpet.
Most groundskeepers contend that
artificial turf is more difficult to main
tain. Instead of spending an hour to
mow the grass field, two hours is re
quired to do a proper job of vacuum
ing the sod. But as one groundskeeper
noted, he doesn't have to sweep as
often as he did mow.
"The biggest problem is getting
burns off," one tender of the turf said.
"Sometimes when players are tackled,
they put burns six feet long in the turf
with their shoes, which fuse the
blades together. In other words, the
tips melt together, and you have to
use a steel comb to break them
loose."
Gum, especially early in the Fall, is a
sticky challenge for groundskeepers.
Cigarette burns and stains instigated
by chewing tobacco are also aggravat
ing and time-consuming to keepers of
the green.
"Making the conversion from real
grass to artificial surface definitely be
comes a need in stadiums that are
multi-purpose facilities," another
stadium manager said. "Taxpayers
have helped most of these and they
should be able to enjoy them. Look at
the possibilities these facilities
offer—rock concerts, graduations, in
tramurals, state-wide activities of
interest, and even religious and politi
cal gatherings.
"To stage about anything other than
football, you might have to protect the
surface from damage by putting down
plyboard or canvas. Such protective
measures will cost as much as $10,000
or more.
"Also, what if you have a football
game in the rain or after a rain on a
true-grass field in your season opener?

• O.J. Simpson was a year away from
winning the Heisman Trophy. But as
far as 90,772 Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum fans were concerned, the
talented Trojan running back should
have been handed the coveted award
immediately after the USC-UCLA bash
of Nov. 18, 1967. And if the trophy was
to be given on that day, a piece of it
should have gone to placekicker Rikki
Aldridge. Simpson's 64-yard TD romp
with less than five minutes remaining
in the 37th annual cross-city classic
tied the game at 20-20, and it was Al
dridge who punctuated the victory. O.
J. rushed for 177 yards in 30 carries
and ironically, it was UCLA quarter
back Gary Beban who was awarded
college football's most treasured
prize. Beban, receiver George Farmer
and rusher Greg Jones fought gallantly
against the Trojans, but Sifmpson,
Steve Sogge, Earl McCullouch and
Outland Trophy winner Ron Vary ulti
mately proved to be a point better.
The Rose Bowl was at stake and John
McKay's Trojans went on to defeat In
diana while the following week the
down-trodden Bruins of Tommy Prothro lost to Syracuse.
(Tying this game on Chuck Howard's
poll was the 1969 USC-UCLA game,
won by the Trojans, 14-12, on a last
minute pass from Jimmy Jones to Sam
Dickerson good for 32-yards. UCLA
failed on both two-point conversion
attempts. The Bruins' signal caller was
Dennis Dummit. Both teams went into
the game undefeated and with one tie
apiece. USC went on to defeat Michi
gan in the Rose Bowl.)
• Over 1,000 yards in total offense
went into tfv^ books after Ole Miss
and Alabamcl went after each other in
Birmingham's Legion Field on the
night of October 4, 1969. Between
both teams, there were 81 passes
thrown and only one intercepted. Mis
sissippi's Archie Manning threw 52 of
those passes and completed 33 for 436

c
^l^ollege football's most lasting con
tribution to American culture could
be epicurean. Twenty-five centuries
from now, as social scientists attempt
to unravel the significance of our era,
their research may show it was some
time in the 20th century that Ameri
cans developed the quaint tribal cus
tom ... tailgating.
Man, his mate and groups of
friends, a scholarly paper may reveal,
would unwind every seventh day in
the autumn of the year by packing
very delicious picnic meals, stowing
them in the back of their elongated
road vehicles, then journeying to the
parking areas of great playing fields.
There they would encamp, spread
out the food on a fold-down type of
door (called the tail gate) at the rear
of their road vehicle, and picnic in
the lovely autumn sun. Later they
would join thousands of others in
seats built around the playing field,
watching students from opposing
universities hurdle themselves at one
another in some sort of rowdy game.
The scholarly study of 25 centuries
hence will go on to hypothesize that
while the rowdy game has long since
been forgotten, the quaint tailgating
custom was the actual origin of such
modern diversions as lunargating (run
ning the old space ship up to the
moon for a day of picnicking) and
Marsgating (a week long camp out on
Mars).
However, we 20th century earth
lings must still be concerned with
something good to eat at our next
tailgate party. So here are some nifty
portable ideas — the first two from
The R. T. French Company Test Kitch
ens in Rochester, New York, with the
Soul Picnic menu contributed by Cribari Wines.
Frankly Delicious Stew is hot and
hearty and just right for autumn ap
petites. It is easily and quickly made
from ingredients that you're likely to
have on hand, and the combination
of franks and beans gets a special fla
vor boost from prepared yellow mus
tard. A vacuum container filled with
Frankly Delicious Stew will be the star
attraction of any tailgate feast.
Cheese and Macaroni Salad is the
perfect traveling companion for the
stew. The flavor fashion for fall Is
the creamy dressing which is easily
created with an envelope of cheese
sauce mix.
Serve with celery and green pepper
sticks, fresh pears, chocolate brown
ies and hot coffee.

"Really, you never catch up. And in
trying to catch up you pour in the
money.
"For those with real grass fields,
there is always the tendency of expect
ing too much from it, but giving it too
little. I'd say this is the case most of
the time. I know that most schools will
spend money to supply equipment
and adequate personnel to maintain
artificial-turf fields, but when they
were asked to do the same for the real
grass, they'd back down and tell the
groundskeeper to do the best with
what he had.
"I've seen situations where a ton of
fertilizer, a load of sod or several bags
of grass seed would have done the
job, but funds or co-operation were
refused.
"A groundskeeper could get fired if
his field didn't meet the approval of a
college president or athletic director,
but with the artificial turf he can sur
vive while the installation people take
the blame and a guarantee from the
company goes on the line."
Stadium expansion often lends itself
to the installation of artificial turf be
cause fields can be lowered and addi
tional prime-rate seating can be in
stalled at field levels that wouldn't be
possible because of drainage and con
struction difficulties surrounding natu
ral grass.
Rain and sometimes snow will soak
the artificial turf, but because football
fields have crowns, drainage is seldom
a problem. For stadiums with
squeegee equipment, the roll-off of
moisture can be quickened and fewer
problems are realized as far as players'
footing and traction.
Probably the loudest screams of an
guish from the blanketing of turf
across the nation's collegiate gridiro.ns have come from doctors and
trainers, who must treat injuries they
believe are an upshoot of artificial sur
faces.
Studies and surveys have substan
tiated their claims, and there have
been few dissenters that playing on
natural grass would be better and, yes,
the artificial surface leaves something
to be desired when it comes to living
with injury, especially of the knee and
ankle variety.
To meet the challenge, medical and
Artificial turf is preferred particularly by schools which frequently experience inclement
weather conditions.
safety personnel have made sugges
tions for change in cleats, shoes and
even tackling and blocking rules.
Because the day-to-day practice
grind can take its toll on player's feet
and legs, many schools have built nat
ural grass practice fields. Coaches
have discovered that steady work on
the mod sod can take the spring from
an athlete's legs, and a couple ses
sions on natural grass can be a possi
ble game-saving move.
Also, not all opponents have artifi
cial playing surfaces, and when the
schedule dictates such an encounter,
the natural grass practice field can be a
strategic maneuver.
Despite the predictions of a dooms
day for the artificial turf and its
drawbacks—injuries, heat, early fault
and lack of perfection in materials and
installation—most of the playing sur
faces now carpeted will remain that
way.
"I don't care what they say and pre
dict," one noted groundskeeper of
fers, "they're here to stay. There will
always be injuries in football, just as
weather will not always be ideal to
play in.
"I know of coaches who believed
wet, muddy fields were the cause of
the bulk of their injuries. Nobody was
standing up and shouting about doing
away with natural grass fields, were
they?
"Really, I'd like to see more compe
tition among manufacturers of the
stuff (artificial turf). I believe some of
the trouble with it is that while putting
in all these fields, the companies were
just finding out how to do it and their
scientists and laboratory people were
just beginning to touch on a product
that they, if given time and research,
could make better and better.
"I once told a company representa
tive that he was in a great business—
one that his outfit was getting a half
million dollars to experiment with a
product.
"You can argue that maybe the arti
ficial turf was hurried along and came
at the wrong time, just look at how
many more good grasses and chemi
cals to make soil and grass better have
been developed over the last two or
three years."
The debate goes on. So does the
game.

• At 30 years of age, Tennessee's Bill
Battle had quickly established himesif
as one of college football's brightest
young coaches. His 1971 confrontation
with Auburn's Shug Jordan, one of the
most distinguished veterans of the
game, provided a unique contrast
when the Tigers and Vols went to war
in Neyland Stadium on Sept. 25. Ten
nessee placekicker George Hunt had
put the Vols in front of Auburn, 9-3,
on field goals of 45, 30 and 50 yards.
Over six minutes remained in the
game when Tennessee fumbled at the
Tiger 14 yard line after driving from its
own 20. Auburn's Pat Sullivan, the
Heisman Trophy Winner, launched an
86-yard drive almost entirely through
the air, hitting on five key passes, in
cluding two to All-American Terry
Beasley who recharged his battery
after being soundly shaken by a Bobby
Majors tackle in the second quarter.
Harry Unger scored on a five yard
running play with 2:44 left in the game
and placekicker Gardner Jett split the
uprights to give Auburn a 10-9
triumph. Bill Battle grew a little older
that day, but regrouped his Vols as he
piloted them to a 10-2 season and a
14-13 win over Arkansas in the Liberty
Bowl. Auburn (9-2-0) lost to Oklahoma
in the Sugar Bowl, 40-22.
This game was equivocated by
Chuck Howard to the TennesseeGeorgia 17-17 deadlock played in Ney
land Stadium in 1968. Down 17-9 with

quarterback Bubba Wyche hit Gary
Kreis on a fourth-and-21 situation on
the final play of the game. Wyche then

Calhoun signaled time had ruh out be

were kept in the dark.
• There were all-Americans all over
the field when Michigan and Ohio
State played for the 71st time in Co
lumbus on Nov. 23, 1974. The Buck
eyes had eight, including such stal
warts as Archie Griffin, Neal Colzie
and Pete Cusick. Michigan didn't have
to take a back seat either with the likes
of such defensive demons as Don
Dufek, Dave Brown and Tim Davis. But
it was the little-known walkon by the
name of Tom Kiaban who stole the
headlines that day. The unheralded
OSU placekicker booted four field
goals, the last pne a monumental 43yarder to give^the Buckeyes a 12-10 vic
tory and their third straight trip to the
Rose Bowl. Kiaban had kicked three in
the second quarter (47, 25 and 43
yards) and his four-for-the-day set an
OSU record. Klaban's performance
may have not been more than a game
statistic had Michigan's Tom Lantry
connected on a 3-yard attempt on a
second-and-four situation with 16 sec
onds remaining in the game. Lantry
had tried earlier in the quarter on a
57-yard effort, but it fell short. He had
put three points on the board (a 47yarder) shortly after Denny Franklin
had thrown a 42-yard TD pass to Gil
Chapman in Michigan's only scoring
output during the first quarter. But it
was Kiaban who emerged as the
game's hero and for his efforts. Coach
Woody Hayes gave the placekicker a
"field commission" by awarding him a
scholarship after the game.

Scot Seniors in Final Stadium Appearance Against Vulcans
His 1971 Pioneers who played in the Boardwalk Bowl led
Quarterback Dan McHenry will see his final start against
the Vulcans where he has been most effective directing the
Scots' veer offense. He has also been on target through the
air with five touchdown tosses for 586 yards and a 54
percent accuracy figure.
Also adding punch to the Scot offense has been flanker
Bob Glaser with 11 receptions for 126 yards and one
touchdown on the year. Glaser started coming up with
clutch performances midway through the campaign to
keep the Scots on a direct route to a winning season.
Perhaps the biggest void will be along the defensive line
where tackles Jeff Shaw and Rick McMahon, along with
end Kevin Erickson have been sterling in the trenches.
Shaw leads the team in fumble recoveries with four and is
currently tied for the lead in tackles with 103 stops.
McMahon has a pair of errant pigskins to his credit and is
fifth on the tackle charts with 87 hits, while Erickson is next
behind him with 63 stops.
The Scot coaching staff will also have to set its sights on
some outstanding replacements in the secondary where
Brad Crawshaw, George Miller and Jim Terry will knock
down enemy passes for the last time. Both Crawshaw and
Terry have earned reputations as hard hitters, while Miller
has numerous times come up with sensational individual
efforts. Miller owns three interceptions on the season and
has already blocked three field goal and one extra point
attempts.
A victory over the invading Firegods would insure
Edinboro of a runner-up spot in the Pennsylvania
Conference's Western Division. ESC is currently 3-2 in the
West and owns a 5-4 record overall.
California will pin its offensive hopes on sophomore
quarterback Rich Groves who has tossed for 687 yards and
four scores. His primary receivers are Charlie Harper and
Jim Aerie, both of whom are, ironically, his two running
backs and not his wide receivers. Harper is the team's top
pass catcher with 17 grabs for 277 yards, while Aerie has
the leading per game mark in the rushing department with
Harper close behind.
Standouts for the defensive unit, along with Robey, are
middle guard Tom Jackson, the team's leading tackier with
129 stops and seven quarterback sacks. Other top
performers are defensive back Jack Durant and linebacker
Jeff Zigray.
Durant leads the Conference in interceptions with seven
aerial thefts and Zigray has picked off three opposition
passes.

TODAY'S GAME

Edinboro State will be looking to close out its third
straight winning grid season today when they host the
Vulcans of California State (Pa.).
Coming off a 16-0 loss at Indiana last week, the
downstaters have been able to grab only one win in the
Pennsylvania Conference's Western Division this year and
that was a 10-0 shutout over Lock Haven. The Firegods
have several outstanding performers who will invade Sox
Harrison Stadium, but as of yet have not been able to fuse
together either offensively or defensively.
With neither Edinboro nor California headed for any kind
of post-season action, most eyes will be on a group of
graduating seniors who will be donning their collegiate grid
uniforms for the last time. Seeing action for the final time at
Edinboro State are defensive back Brad Crawshaw
(Franklin), defensive end Kevin Erickson (Jamestown, NY),
wide receiver Bob Glaser (Pittsburgh), center Doug
Goodman (Sarver), wide receiver Howard Hackley
(Canonsburg), tight end Steve Larson (Jamestown, NY),
quarterback Dan McHenry (Arnold), defensive tackle Rick
McMahon (Stow, O.), defensive back George Miller
(Johnstown), guard Lou Provenzano (Arnold), defensive
tackle Jeff Shaw (Erie) and strong safety Jim Terry
(Kulpmont).
In direct contrast with the Scots' even dozen of
graduating gridders, California lists only five players who
will be gone via the diploma route. Tops among these is pro
prospect Dave Robey, a 6-5, 220-pound defensive tackle.
As far as the record book is concerned, the senior exiting
with the most outstanding career will be receiver Howard
Hackley who has already inked his name eight times in the
ESC record book. He owns Scot records for most yards in a
game (190), a season (807), a career (2356), most
receptions in a game (9), a season (39), career receptions
(123) and most career touchdown passes with a current
total of 16. The Canonsburg ace has also tied the mark for
most scoring catches with his seven TD's for the year. He
can still extend several of the records with any catches in
today's game.
A trio of veterans will make their last appearance paving
the way for Scot running backs in the likes of offensive
performers Lou Provenzano, Doug Goodman and Steve
Larson. Larson has also made his presence known
throughout the year in the receiving department where he
has grabbed ten passes for 162 yards and two scores.

insist that some
women don't look upon football as
representing chunks of lost weekends
watching ones'brothers, boyfriends or
husbands hollering and moaning in
front of the TV or in the bleachers.
There are a few of us who could relate
to this scene described by Sports Illus
trated's Frank Deford in his novel Cut
'N' Run: "And what could she tell
them of their father when he bellowed
strange noises of joy and anguish from
the club cellar and then bolted up
stairs for another beer, gurgling and
disarrayed? . . . 'Why does Daddy act
that sometimes?' little jerry asked,
ish, child,' Rosalijp said, tousling
hair. 'It's only Epotball. When the
moon that come^pfter Christmas is
full, the evil spirrts will depart from
him, and he will be your father
again'."
. Deford's hero might well have been
a friend of mine who met his wife with
t flowers and champagne as she re
turned from the hospital with their
first-born. The new father poured a
round, .downed a glass, mumbled a
few apdjogies to the horror-strickeh
grandparents, then rushed out the
door to catch a local college game.
"I'd had tickets for weeks," he pro
tests today.
If you want to talk surface impres
sions, you can fill the Orange Bowl
with complaining women. But what
I've noticed is when women separate
the football from their metr, the game

It takes a long time to make a good cable knit. We know
because we make more cables, in more styies than anyone eise.
So, if you appreciate good craftsmanship, as well as a
is transformed into a source of plea
sure, a genuine, bona fide female
pastime. I understand the so-called
mysteries or fine points of the game,
but expertise in single-wing forma
tions and end runs does not heighten
the degree to which I have always en
joyed football; it has only redefined
the enjoying. When I didn't know
beans about football, I liked it and was
involved in it. It is a sociological
phenomenon, for heaven's sake. How
can you not be involved?
In fact,the more I ruminate, football
is one of those marvelous threads that
runs through our lives, which time and
again we can measure our progress (or
lack of it) against, an institution like
McDonald's and the Fourth of July.
For most American women, football
became an integral part of their lives
in high school. An activity which
theretofore had simply consumed our
male counterparts suddenly scooped
us in, and this game became the
weekly social event. If I am ever in a
plane crash in the Andes, 1 will credit
my ability to withstand unthinkable
cold to my training at high school
games. When I was growing up in the
Midwest, the fashion was wool bermuda shorts and matching knee socks,
very cute and very skimpy on Decem
ber Friday nights. Often I looked long
ingly at the ponchos the players wore
and wondered why the people around
me kept saying, "Those poor guys. I'll
bet they're freezing." They had coats.
I had a mohair sweater.
On one particular night, a
cheerleader—one of the seniors—
frantically began the chant, "Hold that
line!" which many of us in the stands
obediently echoed. Then a guy in our
midst called the cheerleader's name
and shouted, "Hey, dumbell, we got
the ball!" It was a humiliation I prom
ised myself I would never suffer, and
when I later became a cheerleader,
held true to my vow. At no time in my
career did I ever begin a technical
cheer. Sticking to the basics like "Go!
Fight! Win!" proved most intelligent.
Touchdown or 15-yard penalty, no
body could take issue with "Go! Fight!
Win!"
In my town, all six high schools
kicked off the season with a jamboree.
Women’s involvement with the game of football is increasing.
six quarters of football, the Northside
against the South. Nobody cared who
won. The jamboree was for the
coaches to try out "unproven" talent
and precarious plays, and for the rest
of us to pass judgement on the kids
from other schools.
That my high school had the second
worse team in the conference was
only slightly irritating to me and my
friends. Amazing how we could get so
emotionally involved with each set of
downs, cry as the time ran out and we
trailed 45-6, and then dance at a post
game sock hop with the very people
who had inflicted our pain. Even now I
have to believe no one really minded
the losses, not even our coach. He
kept his job through losing season
after losing season, and informed the
newspapers each fall that "This is the
year we'll take all the marbles." He al
ways had "some fine boys" on the
squad, an "intelligent" quarterback,
some "bruising" tackles and a pass de
fense that needed "a little work." As
for the players, if they had been so in
volved, would they have smiled and
waved to us from the sidelines?
Men remember specific plays, the
superstar halfback who never
amounted to anything and where their
team finished in the league. Women
remember the bonfires, the halftime
shows, the cold and whether or not
their team lost. Six of one, half a
dozen of the other. Men have their
technical memories; women, their aes
thetic ones. You don't have to know a
referee is calling time out when he
puts his hands on his hips to be
wrapped up in the excitement of a ball
game.
And whatever people say about pro
football, I think most women would
tell you there is never more excite
ment than in a college game. In a big
university or small community college,
Saturday afternoon means one
thing—a gigantic meeting of friends

An Immortal in the History of College Football
iby Tobin Spirer
If
■IMe had a lopsided grin and a nose
permanently—if endearingly—flat
tened with a baseball bat. When he
smiled or scowled, crow's-foot lines
stretching away from his eyes would
deepen into furrows nearly as wide as
the jowls below his chin. It was a
heavy, fleshy, finely sensitive face be
longing to a man who was to be
canonized as The Greatest Football
Coach—ever. P.T, Barnum would have
been proud.
Knute K. Rockne—it's pronounced
Canute—first appeared in Voss, Nor
way, March 4, 1888, the son of a car
riage maker and heir to a bankrupt
line of landowners. As with so many
other Europeans of this period, Rockne's father pulled up stakes, moving
the family and his son to Chicago in
1893.
Although Rockne's methods might
have been suspect by a few of the
heretical unfaithful, no one could
argue with his results—more than
anyone else he popularized the game
of football and made Notre Dame the
country's outstanding football institu
tion. During his 13-year regime (19181931) his teams won 105 games, lost 12
and were tied five times for a .881
percentage—a record no other coach
can claim.
Although he could legitimately qual
ify as the best grid tactician of his age,
he was the architect of his own fame.
Promotion, hyperbole and a tearchoked, husky whisper in the dark
confines of a half-time locker room
brought us "Win for the Gipper,"
Stuhidreher, Miller, Crowley and A true immortal, Knute Rockne still
Layden posing for pictures set beneath stands as the gamers winningest all-time
a blue-grey October sky, a reasonable coach (percentage).
4.
forerunner of the modern forward
pass, the backfield shift and five un
beaten Notre Dame teams that were to
make college football the greatest
spectacle in the land.
Rockne's early years can be glossed
over. He was your typical all-around
athlete, mixing football and baseball
with an easy familiarity, doing best in
track and field where he ran the halfmile and once set an indoor pole vault
record of 12 feet, four inches, not at
all bad in 1906. But Rockne's personal
athletic career only has a bearing on
his future in terms of where it led
him—to the then obscure halls of
Notre Dame University.
Four years as a clerk in the (Chicago
Post Office passed between high
school and Rockne's entrance at South
Bend, years where he earned his col
lege dollars and played with several
Chicago athletic clubs. The real be
ginning, though, came in 1910 when
he began college rooming with Gus
Dorias (later of the famous Dorias to
Rockne forward pass combination)
and tried out for the Notre Dame var
sity, stuttering through lumpy frosh
arfd undistinguished sophomore sea
sons to earn mention as an AllAmerican possibility after his junior
year, and captain of the team his
senior.
Although Rockne was good, his
greatest fame as a player came during
his junior season against Army. All
through the previous summer Rockne
and Dorias had worked together as life
guards and table hashers at a Lake Erie
resort. Between the two they per
fected a workable—although beachbred—forward pass used to over
whelm the Cadets, 35-13, that Fall.
As an undergraduate, Rockne evi
denced a singular aptitude for chemis
try, parlaying a job as janitor of the
chemistry lab into a graduate assistantship under Father Julius Nieuwland,
the school's noted research chemist.
When he accepted the post, Rockne
demanded he be allowed to assist
Jesse Harper coach the football team,
a move that was to pay off four years
later when Harper retired to his cattle
ranch in Kansas, recommending
Rockne to the head coaching spot.

Your SAFECO agent is a good person to know.
Because he can show you more than 136 ways to stretch your insurance doiiar.
Here are some exampies.
1. Cut costs on disability insur
ance by increasing the elimi

ination period (time lag between the
beginning of a disability and the first
income payment), the lower the pre
miums.
13. Lock the barn door before

2. Keep your valuables in a safe
place. You may be able to lower
fine arts, stamp and coin collection
insurance rates if you store the items
in bank vaults, home vaults or fire
proof safes.
3. Go for a bigger hunk of life.
Many insurance companies offer dis
counts for larger policies. So avoid
buying a bundle of small policies
when one might do.
4. Don’t make the wrong move
with moving insurance. Before
you buy a special, and often expen
sive, policy sold by moving compa
nies, check your homeowners. You
may already be covered.
policy premiums are too high for the
value received. Many would be bet
ter off with a straight life policy.
7. Be a boating expert. Some
companies will give you up to a 10%
discount if you complete an approved
power-boat handling course.
8. Increase deductibles on
your business insurance. You
could save up to 18% on your build
ing insurance premium by carrying
a $1,0(X) deductible.
9. Keep an extra set of accounts
receivable. If you keep a duplicate
set at another location, you could
save up to 50% on the accounts re
ceivable premium.
10. Check into I.R.A. retirement
plans. They provide a good way to
buy your life insurance through taxdeductible dollars.
11. Don’t get stranded by your
auto insurance. Check to see if
your comprehensive provides trans
portation expenses if your car is
stolen. You may be able to save
yourself some car fare.
12. Go for the big deductibles.
5. Check your life policy be
fore you fly. If you have adequate
life insurance coverage, you won’t
have to buy expensive airline trip
transit policies.

with a single common interest. Col
lege football games cut right across
every political, ideological and sexual
boundary. For a couple of hours,
everyone has the same thing in mind.
There were few constants in my four
years of college, as I moved from
sorority pledge to campus radical to
cynical job-seeker, but no home game
found me anywhere than in my
stadium seat. I traded my Villager
tweeds for an army jacket and jeans,
but I would not have given up my sea
son ticket for anybody's revolution.
As a freshman, just being a part of a
crowd of 65,000 was a heady experi
ence. To get tickets to the game we
were required to sit in the card section
which did not please all the men, but
could not have been better for me. As
part of a mass, I learned a few of those
elusive nuances of the game. All you
had to do was watch the yell leaders.
They knew when to say "Hold that
lineand by the end of my first sea
son, so did j. All of us looked forward
to touchdowns, not just for their nu
merical value, but because a TD in
sured a shower of contraband toilet
paper rolls. I still think fondly of those
cascading streamers which turned the
basest of dorm supplies into a thing of
beauty. And the personal triumph of
smuggling two or three of them past
the guards!
That's a difference between men
and women. We are blessed and bur
dened with handbags and, as a result,
smuggling has become our special
skill. A cool and indifferent air has al
ways worked well for me. I could get
my ticket and student ID out of the
same bag that held a half dozen rolls
of toilet paper, and no one was the
wiser. As I advanced in age, and our
seats improved each year, my
girlfriends and I took to smuggling in a
little pick-me-up now and then. Never
fans of mixing or depending on the
Coke vendor, whatever we used to
ward off the autumn cold, we carted in
one bottle. In senior year, my room
mates and I hit upon cream sherry as
our refreshment. As the fraternity men
around us juggled thermoses and cups
of orange juice, we simply passed our
lady's drink back and forth, and grew
fantastically content as the afternoon
sun disappeared behind the stands.
Surely there is no male or female
perspective on those lovely Saturday
afternoons. The evening was ahead of
us, our lives ahead of that, and our
heroes were down there toiling away
for our emotional entertainment. Time
has a way of suspending itself on a col
lege football Saturday. So too,
perhaps, do the differences between
the sexes.
A thrill is a thrill, after all, and it
takes no one but the neophyte to ap
preciate a long run or an artful pass.
Maybe more than ever, I realized that
in a scrub game I played one Sunday
on my dormitory lawn. It was late April
and the first warm day of spring. The
entire campus had rushed itself into
cutoffs and tee-shirts and several of us
had been sunbathing. One of my
friends produced a football from her
room, and we began to throw it
around, finally splitting into sides and
scrimmaging. Between the 10 of us,
we knew essentially that the ball had
to be snapped, thrown, caught and
run with. That was about it. I advised
my team that I would appear to throw
to my roommate, but would really toss
to our friend Louise. I took the ball
from my center, faked, let fly a six or
seven-yard bomb which was miracul
ously caught and delivered safely be
tween two saplings, for six. It was one
of the finest moments of my life, and
somewhere in my exhilaration, I
thought, "This must be what it is all
about."
Did I say men remember the specific
plays?

The taste of Holland, pure and incomparable,
comes through clearly in each and every glass
of Heineken. Light or Dark—or on draft.
Incidentally, this 300-year old windmill in
Holland is dedicated toVan Munching of New
York, exclusive importers of Heineken Beer in
the U.S.A.
Heineken tastes tremendous. No wonder it’s
America's #1 imported beer.
KNUTE ROCKNE
proved the appointment, divine inspi
ration notwithstanding.
It's often said that great men go
through a starry merger of ability, hard
work and luck. Rockne enjoyed all
three in abundance. He came on
strong from the beginning, utilizing a
golden tongue with a stageman's
sense of timing and a technician's
grasp of the game. His teams in the
early years met increasingly tougher
competition, winning far more games
than they lost and skyrocketing into
national prominence following Rockne's happy discovery of All-American
George Gipp.
The noteworthy Gipp wasn't an AllAmerican in 1916, but a tall freshman
in campus clothes punting a football
for amusement on a deserted field.
One could almost see the gleam in
Rockne's eyes when he saw those 70yard kicks. From Rockne's autobiog
raphy:
"What's your name?" asked the
coach.
"George Gipp," replied the lad. "I
come from Calumet."
"Played high school football?"
Rockne asked.
"Nope," Gipp answered. "Don't
particularly care for it. Baseball's my
dish."
Rockne smiled. Gipp was to go on
to become Notre Dame's first AllAmerican and the greatest football
player in the school's history. He
could and frequently did punt a ball 80
yards in the air, throw it 60 yards and
single-handedly destroy opposing
teams. In 32 college games, Gipp
scored 83 touchdowns.
Gipp, of course, was the source of
one of Rockne's more publicized half
time gambits. The star died in 1920 of a
streptococcic infection of the throat in
a decade barren of antibiotics, leaving
a deathbed request to Rockne that
". . . when things are wrong and the
breaks are beating the boys—tell them
to go in there with all they've got and
win one for the Gipper."
Down to his last trick eight years
later when Army was taking it to Notre
Dame at the end of the first half,
Rockne reached down with a truly in
spired half-time show starring the
memory of George Gipper and The
Last Request. Notre Dame, of course,
went on to win.
In 1922, two years after Gipp's
death, Rockne was to half inspire-half
stumble into another pleasant little
scene of national prominence. Harry
Stuhidreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley
and Elmer Layden didn't play as a
backfield in their freshmen year. They
saw a good deal of action with the first
year outfit, but not as a unit and indi
vidually didn't especially impress
Rockne.
But in the Fall of 1922 Notre Dame
had lost all of its veteran backfield ex
cept for Paul Castner at fullback and
Frank Thomas at QB. Rockne ex
perimented with new talent and
eventually evolved the backfield
combination—Stuhidreher at quarter
back, Layden at fullback and Crowley
and Miller at the halfback spots—that
became known as the "Four Horse
men."
Averaging only 158 pounds, the de
ceptive backfield functioned behind a
rugged line called the "Seven Mules,"
taking the 1924 team undefeated and
untied through ten games against the
country's best. Of Rockne's five un
beaten teams (1919, 1920, 1924, 1929
and 1930) this one was the most widely
heralded, thanks also to Grantland
Rice, who undoubtedly did as much
for college football with his pen as
Rockne did with his Gipper, his for
ward pass and his backfield shift.
Rice, the dean of sportswriters then
and posthumously now, put together a
classic lead paragraph following the
1924 October game between the Fight
ing Irish and Army. From the New
York Herald-Tribune, Oct. 18, 1924:
"Outlined against a blue-gray Octo
ber sky, the Four Horsemen rode
again. In dramatic lore they are known
as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and
Death. These are only aliases. Their
real names are Stuhidreher, Miller,
Crowley and Layden. ..."
Among Knute Rockne’s traits was a pen
chant for fiery halftime talks.
continued from 4t
Somehow Rockne would always
carry it off. 1920 gave him Gipp's last
year, his second undefeated team and
his first so-called national champion
ship. The Four Horsemen and the
Seven Mules gave him his second
crown while his third national title was
won in 1929 when he was seriously ill
with phlebitis.
The pressures—coaching, athletic
direction, public speaking and his own
brilliance—were catching up with
Rockne. His fourth national title, his
last, came in 1930 and, almost to be
expected, he went out in style. Still ill
with a potentially fatal bloodclot,
Rockne guided his team to an unde
feated national championship season
over the cream of Southern
Methodist, Navy, Carnegie Tech,
Pittsburgh, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Drake, Northwestern, Army and
Southern California.
He even had time for a final stunt,
pulling off another classical psycholog
ical master stroke by letting everyone
believe his team was crippled with the
loss of fullback Lafry Mullins to injury.
Just before the game he switched Paul
(Buck) O'Connor to fullback, fired him
up with the "big chance" idea, and
sprung him on the unsuspecting Tro
jans. Southern Cal lost, 27-0.
In his coaching career Rockne suf
fered only 12 defeats, half of them
coming in two seasons, four in 1928
and two in 1925. His five victories in
'28 still made it a winning season. Of
the 11 other years, five were unbeaten
while six had only one defeat. Four of
the defeats were major upsets: Iowa,
7-10 in 1921; Nebraska, 7-14 and 0-17
in 1923 and 1925, and Carnegie Tech,
0-19 in 1926. He coached a total of 14
All-American players and was voted
the No. 1 coach of football's first cen
tury in 1969, 38 years after his death.
Rockne died in 1931, snuffed out in
a plane crash. He was a complex man,
one who became an orator, an actor, a
scientist, a teacher, a humorist, a psy
chologist, and ajalesman.
"Rockne," said Harry Mehre—who
played center for him and later
coached successfully at Georgia and
Mississippi—"sold football to his
players with a positive approach, not
'to die gamely,' but to 'fight to live.'
He brought it up from the thousanddollar class to the million-dollar class.
Rockne captured the imagination of
America."
The country—and the game—still
haven't forgotten.

The Man Who Runs The Other Team's Plays
by Joe McLaughlin, Houston CHRONICLE
c
^^aturday's hero, more than not, is
the quarterback of the college foot
ball team. He is the ONE you read
about in the Sunday paper after a big
victory. He is the ONE who seems to
have the world in his arms, a bevy of
girls on each arm, the one everyone
looks up to. He is the glamor guy.
The winner. After all, isn't he the one
who threw three touchdown passes,
ran for another and led his team to
the big victory?
Certainly, the No. 1 quarterback of
a college football team often gets the
chief acclaim. Rightfully so, in most
instances.
But what of the quarterback you
rarely hear about, the one who toils
in anonymity during those intermi
nable daily workouts? Namely, the
No. 3 quarterback—the one who
never sees action on game day.
Sometimes he's a red shirt who one
day will find his place in the sun.
More often, he will never read his
name in the Sunday paper because he
will not play in a game. What makes
these invaluable young men tick?
Why do they continue the seemingly
endless daily grind of football drills?
Coaches will tell you the quarter
back who runs the other team's of
fense against his team's No. 1 defense
often is a person of unusual inner
strength, one with strong character
and moral fiber. The better qualified
a third-string quarterback is, the bet
ter the overall team defense becomes,
as it were. This is because the young
man who realizes his position and
understands it fully will utilize every
skill at his command, ad libbing pos
sibilities the defense might face on
the following Saturday.
One such third-unit quarterback
says, "If you can grab hold of the
group you're with and attain some
leadership, the first team will auto
matically sense this and gain your
respect. It's the belief of every player
that he should not be here (on the The 3rd string QB usually sees limited game action, but gets his workout in practice
third unit) and it's his constant belief as the “enemy leader.”

that he won't continlie there that
makes him strive to perform better
and move up."
Another one says, "It's different
today since freshmen can play. A
freshman quarterback, realistically. Is
not ready to play college football and
a year or two of working on the scout
team should be helpful. A lot of good
players can't handle the pressure
mentally, though. In my case, I was
just happy to have a scholarship. That
was reward enough."
One player who spent two years as
a third-unit quarterback, one who
finally reached the pinnacle, says,
"I might not have made it if I hadn't
gained that experience. When I was
doing that, I felt I had to prove some
thing, that I could play quarterback. I
set my mind to that end and it eventu
ally worked out. The one thing you
can't judge about a player is his
mental capacity to cope with the
situation and if he has the strength
to withstand it. A quarterback has got
to be mentally tough at all times. He
has to be in command of those
around him. That's where leadership
comes from. A player can sense it
if a quarterback doesn't have that
quality."
A quarterback who spent five years
in college and never made the first
team says, "Naturally, I wanted to
start, but I was unlucky. I came along
when there were better quarterbacks
ahead of me. But I wouldn't trade
my years on the team for anything. I
think just being on the team was a
great thrill. I have gained lifelong
friends. We had an association that's
hard to describe. It was like being a
part of a large family. We were al
ways together, win or lose."
"The best teams we've had," one
coach says, "were when we had an
excellent athlete who quarterbacked
the scout team. It's simple. He made
the No. 1 defense work harder and
accomplish more. If he had not had
some talent, the defense would not
have had to work as hard. It all goes
hand in hand. The better your third
group is, the better your No. 1 group
will be."
The psychological effect on the
third-unit quarterback, of course, de
pends mostly on the individual. If he
does not believe he will improve and
work to that end, he will not help
the overall team.
"Look," says one scout-team quar
terback who never made No. 1. "I
played with the greatest bunch of
guys in the world. I didn't start any
games, but they all respected me. I
was knocked around every day, but
every time I got knocked down, I'd
get up and grjn and tell them they
made a good tackle. Pretty soon, they
knew they weren't going to intimidate
me. I got their respect that way/
"I'm not saying everyone cduld
do that, but I did. And today I've got
as many lasting friendships fr^^im my
years on the team as any starter has.
To me, football helped me become a
man. I loved every minute of it."
Clearly, a third-string quarterback
can be a winner, too.

The handwriting was on the wali.
It clearly said that the time had
come for a new kind of 6-passenger
car. One that would use fuel and space
more sparingly yet still provide the
kind of room and ride you've found so
comfortable and comforting in our
popular full-size Chevys of the past.
The car is here.
If s called The New Chevrolet.
More head room
The New Chevrolet stands a
little taller than last yeafs full-size
Chevy, which perhaps explains why it
looks so very proud in profile.
Inside, there's a little more clear
ance for heads and hats and hairdos,
both in the back seat and up front.
A new acoustical ceiling helps
keep things nice and quiet.
More lea room
We've increased the rear seat
leg room by an inch in The Sedan
(below) and by nearly two inches in
The Coupe.
It will make a significant difference
in riding comfort, especially on trips.
The straight-up styling of the car
makes it easier to climb into and out of.
More trunk room
The trunk is truly enormous, more than
a cubic foot bigger than last year, with
a nice flat floor that makes it easy to
arrange things.
It's one of many pleasant surprises
awaiting you in The New Chevrolet.
More efficient
The New Chevrolet is, by design, a
very lean but very strong automobile,
with not a trace of flab anywhere on its
beautiful body, chassis or frame.
And it pays off at the gas pump.
In EPA tests. The New Chevrolet is
rated at 22 mpg highway, 17 mpg city
with the new standard Six, auto, trans.
and 2.73 axle. Remember, EPA figures
are estimates. The actual mileage you
get will vary depending on the type of
driving you do, your driving habits, your
car's condition and availabie equip
ment. (In California, EPA mileage
figures are lower.)
The New Chevrolet.
\Ne made it right for the times
without making it wrong for the people.
Nbu're going to love it.
Now thafe more like it.

G.lame of the Week?Game of the
Year? Game of the Decade? Or Game
of the Century? Whatever your choice,
the American public has been treated
to the best of NCAA football televised
by ABC Sports which has captured the
color and clamor of "the college
game" for the past 10 consecutive
years.
It has been a decade of glitter on the
gridiron where all too often that fine
line between delirium and despair is
drawn by an inch of the sideline chain,
a second's tick on the scoreboard
clock or an unpredictable bounce of
the ball on the goal-post cross-bar.
These are but a few of the ingre
dients which have spiced the college
football menu over the past 10 years,
and for a sampler of the decade's Top
Ten televised titanics, producer Chuck
Howard went out on the limb.
"There's been a wide variety of truly
outstanding games over the years,"
Howard said, "and coming up with the
top 10 hasn't been easy. The games I
have selected, however, are particular
classics and should stir vivid memories
from football fans all over."
When it comes to the best of college

No. 2 ranked Michigan State, both un

had called "The Came of the Cen

seating capacity: 76,000) and the rau

Nov. 19, 1966, sat drained and dehyd^

kicked a 28-yard field goal on the first
play of the fourth quarter to tie the
game at 10-10. With Irish quarterback
Terry Hanratty injured on the
sidelines, unknovyn Coley O'Brien was
in field command of Ara Parseghian's
troops who were battling the Spartans
to a fourth period standoff. As the
clock wore down, tension rose both
on the field and in the stands. Who
would get the next break? A penalty

thing. But my Cod, not a tie! In the
final minutes Notre Dame took over

terous University of Arkansas fans clad
in traditional red, who had come for
what Texas' Darrell Royal had prophet
ically dubbed "The Big Shootout." It
took place on a raw, gray December 6
afternoon in 1969. College football was
celebrating its 100th year and Coach
Frank Broyles of Arkansas respectfully
acknowledged the Centennial by in
stalling artifical turf in Razorback
Stadium. Both Texas and Arkansas
sported 9-0-0 records going into the
game and were ranked No. 1 and No.
2, respectively. The national champi
onship and Southwest Conference ti
tles were on the line. It was another
one of those tailor-made titanics as the
eyes of the college football world were
focused on Fayetteville, Arkansas
(pop: 30,000). Ahead 14-0 after three
quarters of play, one might conclude
that Arkansas was having things its
own way. Texas argued to the con
trary. And quite convincingly. Towards
the end of the third period. Royal's
roughnecks had started an 80-yard
march, interrupted only by the sound
of the quarter gun. On the first play of
the fourth stanza, quarterback James
Street scrambled 42 yards for a
touchdown on a broken play. The call
was for a pass, but with no receivers in
sight. Street picked up some excellent
downfield blocking and danced down
the right side to make it 14-6. Darrell
Royal honored his signal caller by
selecting him the man to advance over
left tackle and register a crucial twopoint conversion. Against some hefty
Arkansas adversaries. Street ac
complished his mission and the Hogs
vyere sweating in Fayetteville. With a
little over six minutes remaining in the
quarter, Texas had the ball on its own
36 yard line and used over two min
utes in advancing seven yards to the
43. At that point with a palpitating
fourth-and-three situation. Street
completed a desperation 44-yard pass
to Randy Peschel who enhanced the
artistry of the action by making a di
ving catch at the Arkansas 13 yard line.
Two plays later Jim Bertelsen ran two
yards over left guard to score and a
Longhorn by the name of Happy Feller
became quite a happy fella as he
booted the extra point to give Texas a
15-14 victory. It was a shootout that
indeed lived up to its billing. Texas
went on to defeat Notre Dame in the
Cotton Bowl and Ole Miss tripped Ar
kansas in the Sugar Bowl.

halftime. A quorum of the 90,814 fans
sitting in the Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum on the afternoon of Nov. 30,
1974, hoped that the USC coach would
deliver an extra-special message. It
must have been a dilly! The Trojans,
came out with fire in their eyes as they
embarked upon one of college foot
ball's greatest comebacks. Anthony
Davjs, who had tallied USC's only
touchdown in the first hajf (on a sec
ond period seven yard pass from QB
Pat Haden) ignited the fiery turnabout
by taking the opening kickoff of the
second half and scooting 100 yards to
the dismay of Ara Parseghian and his
fighting Irish. Four more third quarter
touchdowns were to come: two by
Davis on six and four yard scamps and
two by receiver John McKay, who col
lected 18 and 44 yard TD aerials from
his old high school battery mate,
Hayden. Those 35 points in the third
period were the most ever scored in
one stanza against the Irish. Adding
insult to injury, Shelton Diggs reeled
in a 16-yard touchdown pass from
Hayden and Charlie Phillips raced
back a 58-yard interception (one of
three he had on the day) for a TD as 14
fourth quarter points went on the
board to give USC its biggest win ever
over Notre Dame, 55-24. Davis' four
touchdowns a record? No sir! "A.D."

Of the following six games on Chuck
Howard's Top Ten of the Decade list,
three of them were decided by one
point; one by two points and two by
three points. The games are listed
in chronological order:
• Texas A&M coach Gene Stallings
spoke clearly and authoritatively. He
told his kickoff man, All-American
linebacker Bill Hobbs, not to kick to
Southern Methodist's Jerry Levias. The
Aggies had just climaxed a 58-yard,
13-play scoring drive which put them
ahead of SMU, 17-13, in college foot
ball's opening game of the 1967 sea
son. It was a see-saw battle from the
outset at A&M's Kyle Field and with a
flimsy four point lead late in the fourth
period, Stallings wanted to play it safe.
Keep the ball away from the danger
ous Levias, he ordered. As one might
already conjecture, Hobbs sailed the
pigskin into Jerry Levias' waiting arms
and the flashy Mustang took it from
his own 24 to the 42. With regular
quarterback Mike Livingston on the
sidelines, a pint-sized (5'-6" might be
stretching it) signal caller named Inez
Perez completed five straight passes
(including three for 29, 11 and 12
yards) and it was first-and-10 on the
Aggie six yard line with time running
out. On second down at the six and
four seconds left on the clock, Perez
pierced Levias in the end zone and
SMU eked out a 20-17 victory. Texas
A&M bounced back to win six league
games, collect the Southwest Confer
ence championship and defeat Ala
bama in the Cotton Bowl. SMU, on the
other hand, lost its next seven straight
games and finished the 1967 season
with a dismal 3-7 mark.

AND OTHER TURFS
by Del Black, Kansas City STAR
■ wMlod sod, the rug, the carpet.
Most major college gridirons are wallto-wall artificial turf.
Groundskeepers who shook their
heads in wonderment as the carpet
was installed often curse the greenthatched surface and harken to the
"good old days" when they could
negotiate a lawn mower instead of a
vacuum cleaner and replace a divot
rather than wield a brush to remove
stains.
But it was these same custodians of
the turf who before the late '60s
cringed when it rained on game days,
fought with coaches who demanded
to practice when they wanted to wa
ter, and despised every band director
and stomping musician — it always
rained on Band Day—who dared prac
tice and/or perform on the precious
blades of turf.
The Saturday afternoon quagmire
has become surfing on the turf for
football players. Certainly, photo
16.
graphers are unable to capture the
futility of mud-caked combatants, but
fans who once delighted in seeing
mudhole tackling by unidentifiable
participants can get just as much of a
kick from a sliding pursuer of a skid
ding football.
From the press box, writers and
sportscasters don't have to guess who
is carrying the ball, who made the
tackle, or from what yard-line the ac
tion is taking place.
Most coaches will agree that artifi
cial turf is the backdrop for a better
game. The quick and swift benefit. The
slow and plodding look quicker and
swifter, until overmatched and outmanned. And that becomes a coaching
reality on any surface and in any
weather.
Mod-sod madness began with the
construction of the Astrodome in
Houston, when officials realized natu
ral grass wouldn't grow inside a build
ing.
To fit the need, AstroTurf was in
vented. And competition for other
playing
fields—most of them
outdoors—saw the development and
installation of artificial playing surfaces
called Tartan and Poly-Turf.
Possibly, for a better reason than
any, installation of artificial turf be
came a status symbol, a ploy in recruit
ing.
AstroTurf has a grassy-type, blade
like texture while the other two re
semble carpet.
Most groundskeepers contend that
artificial turf is more difficult to main
tain. Instead of spending an hour to
mow the grass field, two hours is re
quired to do a proper job of vacuum
ing the sod. But as one groundskeeper
noted, he doesn't have to sweep as
often as he did mow.
"The biggest problem is getting
burns off," one tender of the turf said.
"Sometimes when players are tackled,
they put burns six feet long in the turf
with their shoes, which fuse the
blades together. In other words, the
tips melt together, and you have to
use a steel comb to break them
loose."
Gum, especially early in the Fall, is a
sticky challenge for groundskeepers.
Cigarette burns and stains instigated
by chewing tobacco are also aggravat
ing and time-consuming to keepers of
the green.
"Making the conversion from real
grass to artificial surface definitely be
comes a need in stadiums that are
multi-purpose facilities," another
stadium manager said. "Taxpayers
have helped most of these and they
should be able to enjoy them. Look at
the possibilities these facilities
offer—rock concerts, graduations, in
tramurals, state-wide activities of
interest, and even religious and politi
cal gatherings.
"To stage about anything other than
football, you might have to protect the
surface from damage by putting down
plyboard or canvas. Such protective
measures will cost as much as $10,000
or more.
"Also, what if you have a football
game in the rain or after a rain on a
true-grass field in your season opener?

• O.J. Simpson was a year away from
winning the Heisman Trophy. But as
far as 90,772 Los Angeles Memorial
Coliseum fans were concerned, the
talented Trojan running back should
have been handed the coveted award
immediately after the USC-UCLA bash
of Nov. 18, 1967. And if the trophy was
to be given on that day, a piece of it
should have gone to placekicker Rikki
Aldridge. Simpson's 64-yard TD romp
with less than five minutes remaining
in the 37th annual cross-city classic
tied the game at 20-20, and it was Al
dridge who punctuated the victory. O.
J. rushed for 177 yards in 30 carries
and ironically, it was UCLA quarter
back Gary Beban who was awarded
college football's most treasured
prize. Beban, receiver George Farmer
and rusher Greg Jones fought gallantly
against the Trojans, but Sifmpson,
Steve Sogge, Earl McCullouch and
Outland Trophy winner Ron Vary ulti
mately proved to be a point better.

Dickerson good for 32-yards. UCLA

c
^l^ollege football's most lasting con
tribution to American culture could
be epicurean. Twenty-five centuries
from now, as social scientists attempt
to unravel the significance of our era,
their research may show it was some
time in the 20th century that Ameri
cans developed the quaint tribal cus
tom ... tailgating.
Man, his mate and groups of
friends, a scholarly paper may reveal,
would unwind every seventh day in
the autumn of the year by packing
very delicious picnic meals, stowing
them in the back of their elongated
road vehicles, then journeying to the
parking areas of great playing fields.
There they would encamp, spread
out the food on a fold-down type of
door (called the tail gate) at the rear
of their road vehicle, and picnic in
the lovely autumn sun. Later they
would join thousands of others in
seats built around the playing field,
watching students from opposing
universities hurdle themselves at one
another in some sort of rowdy game.
The scholarly study of 25 centuries
hence will go on to hypothesize that
while the rowdy game has long since
been forgotten, the quaint tailgating
custom was the actual origin of such
modern diversions as lunargating (run
ning the old space ship up to the
moon for a day of picnicking) and
Marsgating (a week long camp out on
Mars).
However, we 20th century earth
lings must still be concerned with
something good to eat at our next
tailgate party. So here are some nifty
portable ideas — the first two from
The R. T. French Company Test Kitch

from ingredients that you're likely to

tard. A vacuum container filled with
Frankly Delicious Stew will be the star
attraction of any tailgate feast.

"Really, you never catch up. And in
trying to catch up you pour in the
money.
"For those with real grass fields,
there is always the tendency of expect
ing too much from it, but giving it too
little. I'd say this is the case most of
the time. I know that most schools will
spend money to supply equipment
and adequate personnel to maintain
artificial-turf fields, but when they
were asked to do the same for the real
grass, they'd back down and tell the
groundskeeper to do the best with
what he had.
"I've seen situations where a ton of
fertilizer, a load of sod or several bags
of grass seed would have done the
job, but funds or co-operation were
refused.
"A groundskeeper could get fired if
his field didn't meet the approval of a
college president or athletic director,
but with the artificial turf he can sur
vive while the installation people take
the blame and a guarantee from the
company goes on the line."
Stadium expansion often lends itself
to the installation of artificial turf be
cause fields can be lowered and addi
tional prime-rate seating can be in
stalled at field levels that wouldn't be
possible because of drainage and con
struction difficulties surrounding natu
ral grass.
Rain and sometimes snow will soak
the artificial turf, but because football
fields have crowns, drainage is seldom
a problem. For stadiums with
squeegee equipment, the roll-off of
moisture can be quickened and fewer
problems are realized as far as players'
footing and traction.
Probably the loudest screams of an
guish from the blanketing of turf
across the nation's collegiate gridiro.ns have come from doctors and
trainers, who must treat injuries they
believe are an upshoot of artificial sur
faces.
Studies and surveys have substan
tiated their claims, and there have
been few dissenters that playing on
natural grass would be better and, yes,
the artificial surface leaves something
to be desired when it comes to living
with injury, especially of the knee and
ankle variety.
To meet the challenge, medical and
Artificial turf is preferred particularly by schools which frequently experience inclement
weather conditions.
safety personnel have made sugges
tions for change in cleats, shoes and
even tackling and blocking rules.
Because the day-to-day practice
grind can take its toll on player's feet
and legs, many schools have built nat
ural grass practice fields. Coaches
have discovered that steady work on
the mod sod can take the spring from
an athlete's legs, and a couple ses
sions on natural grass can be a possi
ble game-saving move.
Also, not all opponents have artifi
cial playing surfaces, and when the
schedule dictates such an encounter,
the natural grass practice field can be a
strategic maneuver.
Despite the predictions of a dooms
day for the artificial turf and its
drawbacks—injuries, heat, early fault
and lack of perfection in materials and
installation—most of the playing sur
faces now carpeted will remain that
way.
"I don't care what they say and pre
dict," one noted groundskeeper of
fers, "they're here to stay. There will
always be injuries in football, just as
weather will not always be ideal to
play in.
"I know of coaches who believed
wet, muddy fields were the cause of
the bulk of their injuries. Nobody was
standing up and shouting about doing
away with natural grass fields, were
they?
"Really, I'd like to see more compe
tition among manufacturers of the
stuff (artificial turf). I believe some of
the trouble with it is that while putting
in all these fields, the companies were
just finding out how to do it and their
scientists and laboratory people were
just beginning to touch on a product
that they, if given time and research,
could make better and better.
"I once told a company representa
tive that he was in a great business—
one that his outfit was getting a half
million dollars to experiment with a
product.
"You can argue that maybe the arti
ficial turf was hurried along and came
at the wrong time, just look at how
many more good grasses and chemi
cals to make soil and grass better have
been developed over the last two or
three years."
The debate goes on. So does the
game.

• At 30 years of age, Tennessee's Bill
Battle had quickly established himesif
as one of college football's brightest
young coaches. His 1971 confrontation
with Auburn's Shug Jordan, one of the
most distinguished veterans of the
game, provided a unique contrast
when the Tigers and Vols went to war
in Neyland Stadium on Sept. 25. Ten
nessee placekicker George Hunt had
put the Vols in front of Auburn, 9-3,
on field goals of 45, 30 and 50 yards.
Over six minutes remained in the
game when Tennessee fumbled at the
Tiger 14 yard line after driving from its
own 20. Auburn's Pat Sullivan, the
Heisman Trophy Winner, launched an
86-yard drive almost entirely through
the air, hitting on five key passes, in
cluding two to All-American Terry
Beasley who recharged his battery
after being soundly shaken by a Bobby
Majors tackle in the second quarter.
Harry Unger scored on a five yard
running play with 2:44 left in the game
and placekicker Gardner Jett split the
uprights to give Auburn a 10-9
triumph. Bill Battle grew a little older
that day, but regrouped his Vols as he
piloted them to a 10-2 season and a
14-13 win over Arkansas in the Liberty
Bowl. Auburn (9-2-0) lost to Oklahoma
in the Sugar Bowl, 40-22.
This game was equivocated by
Chuck Howard to the TennesseeGeorgia 17-17 deadlock played in Ney
land Stadium in 1968. Down 17-9 with
the clock running out, Tennessefe
quarterback Bubba Wyche hit Gary
Kreis on a fourth-and-21 situation on
the final play of the game. Wyche then
fired to tight end Ken DeLong for the
tying two-point conversion.)
• The final score was not officially rec
orded until 40 minutes after the game.
It took that long for Big Ten Commis
sioner Wayne Duke to reach referee
Gene Calhoun and obtain the verdict.
In one of the most chaotic, confusing
and controversial clashes ever, Michi
gan State emerged a 16-13 winner over
Ohio State in a game played at East
Lansing's Spartan Stadium on Nov. 9,
1974. With five minutes to go, Michi-
22,
Archie Griffin ran weii against the Woiverines in 1974, but the hero of the game
was piacekicker Tom Kiaban.
Big 10 Commissioner Wayne Duke couid
not announce the winner of the Ohio
State-Michigan State game in 1974 untii
40 minutes after the game.
gan State's Charlie Baggett tossed a
44-yard TD pass to Mike Jones making
the score 13-9 in favor of the Buckeyes.
A two-point conversion attempt
failed. Two minutes later, MSU had
the ball back and Levi Jackson raced 88
yards to score. Hans Nielsen con
verted and the underdog Spartans
moved into a 16-13 lead. When Ohio
State took over, Cornelius Green at
tempted a pass on first down and al
though a Spartan linebacker appeared
to have intercepted, an official said
no, the ball was trapped. Green led
the Buckeyes from their own 29 to a
first-and-IO at the Michigan State 11
with a minute to go. On first down,
Archie Griffin goes up the middle for
five. Second and five on the six . . .

already indicated that time had run

and there was pandemonium among
the 78,533 witnesses in Spartan
Stadium. Commissioner Duke made
his way from the press box to the field
and finally to the officials' dressing
room where referee Calhoun put the
record straight once and for all:
Michigan State was the winner, 16-13.
Game films clearly indicate that Mr.
Calhoun signaled time had ruh out be
fore the start of the play, but for 40
minutes afterwards, the teams in
volved and the college football world
were kept in the dark.
• There were all-Americans all over
the field when Michigan and Ohio
State played for the 71st time in Co
lumbus on Nov. 23, 1974. The Buck
eyes had eight, including such stal
warts as Archie Griffin, Neal Colzie
and Pete Cusick. Michigan didn't have
to take a back seat either with the likes
of such defensive demons as Don
Dufek, Dave Brown and Tim Davis. But
it was the little-known walkon by the
name of Tom Kiaban who stole the
headlines that day. The unheralded
OSU placekicker booted four field
goals, the last pne a monumental 43yarder to give^the Buckeyes a 12-10 vic
tory and their third straight trip to the
Rose Bowl. Kiaban had kicked three in
the second quarter (47, 25 and 43
yards) and his four-for-the-day set an
OSU record. Klaban's performance
may have not been more than a game
statistic had Michigan's Tom Lantry
connected on a 3-yard attempt on a
second-and-four situation with 16 sec
onds remaining in the game. Lantry
had tried earlier in the quarter on a
57-yard effort, but it fell short. He had
put three points on the board (a 47yarder) shortly after Denny Franklin
had thrown a 42-yard TD pass to Gil
Chapman in Michigan's only scoring
output during the first quarter. But it
was Kiaban who emerged as the
game's hero and for his efforts. Coach
Woody Hayes gave the placekicker a
"field commission" by awarding him a
scholarship after the game.
