charts with 88 stops, while Doran owns 77 hits and
Engelman is close behind with 72 thumps to his credit.
The major problem for the Eagles has been their offense
where tailback Charlie Lucas is the shining light. The 6-2,
215 lb. sophomore is second behind the Scots' Dave Green
in the West's rushing charts with 433 yards in six games
and a 4.5 per carry average.

The Fighting Scots have kept their Conference hopes
alive with a pair of last quarter victories against Indiana and
Clarion. Wide receiver Howard Hackley, who has broken all
of Edinboro's pass receiving records and is on the verge of
setting another one today, grabbed a 60-yard toss from
quarterback Mike Hill with seven minutes left to give the
Scots an 8-5 win over Indiana. Hill and Hackley combined
with 43 seconds remaining against Clarion this past
Saturday for a 45-yard strike to disappoint a homecoming
crowd of 10,000 at Clarion as ESC posted a 25-20 comefrom-behind verdict. The senior receiving ace needs only
43 yards in today's game to break a record he set last year of

TODAY'S GAME
If Edinboro State expects to stay alive in the Pennsylvania
Conference's Western Division race, the Scots must guard
against being lulled into a false sense of security when they
face a 1-5 Lock Haven team today. The invading Bald
Eagles have been superb defensively in their last two
outings after dropping a tightly contested 7-0 game to
unbeaten league-leader Shippensburg this past Saturday
and then being edged in the final three minutes, 9-6, by

599 yards in one season.
Returning alumni will also get an opportunityto view one
of the top backs in the nation in the Scots' Dave Green who
is averaging 119 yards per game. Green also came away
with a superb effort against Clarion State when he finished
with 111 yards in 27 tries against the vaunted Eagle
defense.

Clarion two weeks ago.

While the offensive unit has been able to come up with
the big play in the last two weeks, Edinboro's defense
against the rush has become one of the best in the nation.
The middle three of the Scots' front line, along with both
linebackers, have terrorized opposing running backs by
allowing only 85 yards per game on the ground.

The Bald Eagles have led the Western stats in rushing
defense until this week when Edinboro State took over the
top perch with its impressive 85.3 yards per game
allowance on the ground. Lock Haven owns the runnerup
spot now by yielding only 102 yards per game to enemy
running attacks.

Top tackier among the hard-hitting quintet has been
sophomore linebacker Jim Krentz (6-2, 225) with 72 stops
and two interceptions. Close behind him are 6-4, 250 lb.
middle guard Ron Gooden (66) and 6-3, 230 lb. tackle Jeff
Shaw (65). Shaw has recovered the loose pigskin three
times, while Gooden has pounced on two fumbles.

The leaders for the Eagle defensive unit have been
linebacker Len Rucci, middle guard Jim Doran (6-1, 245)
and tackle Dan Engelman(6-1,240). Rucci heads the tackle

SALUTING THE 1926 EDINBORO FOOTBALL TEAM (3-3)
In 1926, Edinboro’s intercollegiate football
history began when the College became a fouryear degree granting institution and for the first
time played a complete intercollegiate schedule
against other four-year institutions.
Exactly 50 years ago, Edinboro played in its
first homecoming game ever when Coach Sox
Harrison’s chargers “lost in a clean, hard fought
struggle that either team might have won with the
necessary luck and breaks.
The following excerpt has been taken from the
1927 yearbook, the Conneautteean, which describes
the 1926 season and helps commemorate this, the
Golden Anniversary of Homecomings at Edinboro
State College:
“Prospects for the 1927 season were very
bright when the initial squad reported for
practice, and learned that Andy Shaner,
formerly of the Penn State varsity, was
signed to assist Coach Harrison in the
job of welding together a team that Edin­
boro might be proud of.

“Two more bad injuries cropped up in
this game and the team journeyed to Kent
with several substitutes playing in the
lineup. When Edinboro is beaten by a
clean-playing team, with fair officials,
we have no alibi to offer, but the officials
secured by the Ohio college left much to
be desired.
“It seems that nowadays every school
has its traditional rival, for which they
point their entire efforts. With us it is
Slippery Rock. This game was the big
event of the year. It suffices to say that
we lost to a clean, hard-playing, better
team of fellows, and we are not ashamed
of it. Edinboro’s motto was ‘No matter
whether we win or not, play clean and
hard.’ ”

“Came the necessary fundamentals and
hard work that ^ well rounded team must
have and then our first game. Polish
College was stamped, but our victory
over them did nOt mean one-tenth as much
as the completo route of the Indiana
team - 16-6.
1B

“By this time injuries became quite pre­
valent and the squad was weakened to the
extent that we could not have our regular
scrimmage sessions, so essential in
developing team work and smoothness.
West Liberty Normal was met on our home
field, and the game sure was a thriller.
We lost in a clean, hard fought struggle
that either team might have won with the
necessary luck and breaks.

"Presenting The Famed Marching Scots Band . .

It’s “Philadelphia Freedom” time with the Scots band at Three Rivers Stadium.

Today Edinboro State fans will be able to
witness the half-time show produced in Pittsburgh’s
Three Rivers Stadium on September 19 when the
Scot band provided the half-time entertainment
for the Pittsburgh Steelers - Cleveland Browns
professional football game. The appearance at
Three Rivers Stadium was the fourth straight as
last year the ESC marchers were featured on
national television when they performed for the
Steelers-Kansas City Chiefs game.
The show features "The Election of 1976’’
and the band will play such familiar tunes as
Happy Days Are Here Again, A Sign of the Times,
and then the band salutes the democratic candidate
with a southern favorite, Swanee, and continues
by acknowledging the republican candidate with
the Michigan Fight Song. To remind us of our
sovereign right to elect a candidate by popular
ballot, the Marching Scot band will form a bell
while playing the popular Philadelphia Freedom.
The nationally renowned Marching Scot band
is under the direction of John Little and Ron
Byerly. Mr. Little is in his first year as ESC’s
marching band director having previously served
as director of bands at Valparaiso University
and having conducted bands in the public schools
of Indiana and Kentucky.
In addition to their appearance at the Steeler’s
game, the Marching Scot band performs at all of
Edinboro’s home games and two away football

Drum major for the Marching Scots is Steve
Barber, a graduate of Johnstown Central High
School in Johnstown, Pa.
Freshman Leigh Ann Potter from Monongahela,
Pa., serves as the featured twirler for the Scot
majorettes who are directed by Jeanne Shulta from
Pittsburgh. Leigh Ann was feature twirler with

halfbacks,” continued Ramsey. ”ln our
first games with the Wishbone, we
tied Houston, lost to Texas Tech, and
then started a 30-game winning streak
against Oklahoma State. In those three
games, the fullback was too close to
the line to do much good.
"Against Oklahoma, we moved full­
back Steve Worster back a step and
we came of age, driving 80 yards in
the last 2 minutes to gain a comefrom-behind victory. James Street took
over at quarterback after our loss to
Texas Tech and he never lost a game.”
The Wishbone was an immediate
success.
"After beating Tennessee in the
1969 Cotton Bowl,” related Ramsey,
"we had over 130 coaches at our
spring practice . . . they were stacked
three deep and it was hard for our
coaches to coach because of the inter­
est in it.”
The Wishbone is a triple-option of­
fense with anybody in the backfield
likely to carry the ball.
"The quarterback calls the option in
the huddle and nobody knows who
will end up with the ball,” explained
Ramsey. "The first option is to the full­
back depending on how the tackle
reacts. If the tackle goes for the full­
back, the quarterback keeps.
"If the tackle stays put or drops
back, the quarterback gives to the full­
back. If the quarterback keeps, his
next option depends on the defensive
end. If the end goes for the pitch man
(halfback), the quarterback keeps. If
the end goes after the quarterback, he
pitches to the halfback.
"What makes our Wishbone so suc­
cessful,” continued Ramsey, "is that
Royal stays ahead of the defense . . .
he puts little wrinkles in all the time.
For instance, optional blocking is one
thing that has made it work so well.
"Ten years ago, if a coach said he
could run at the heart of the defense
and not block anybody, they would
have him committed. In our Wish­
bone, we run at the heart of the de­
fense and don't block either the tackle
or end.”
There are many coaches who dis­
dain the Wishbone. "The idea of not
blocking somebody,” says Iowa's Bob
Commings, "is repugnant to me.”
Alabama switched to the Wishbone
just before the 1971 season.
"We had Johnny Musso returning
and he was truly a great college back,”
explained Charley Thornton, Alaba­
ma's assistant athletic director. "We

also had a QB named Terry Davis who
couldn't pass, but was quick and slick.
"Our first game was against South­
ern Cal in LA. They had whipped us
42-21 the year before and had most of
the crowd back. We beat them 17-10.
I'm sure they overlooked us some after
the year before when they came back
to fight the Civil War. Anyway, the
Wishbone was a big success right off
the bat for us.
"We went 11-0, but lost to Nebraska
38-6 in the Orange Bowl,” continued
Thornton. "We were strictly vanilla
back then . . . meaning 90 per cent
full house .We couldn't throw. Then we
started using two wide receivers and
found it was the greatest thing in the
world because in order to defense the

running game, pass defense became a
one-on-one thing. We used to work
for hours in practice when we were a
pro set team just trying to get single
coverage, and here with the Wishbone
it was handed to us.
"Ours now is a blend of the Wish­
bone and Veer. Coach (Bear) Bryant
probably has done more with the
Wishbone along the lines of pass for­
mations, etc., than anyone else. The
key to the Wishbone is that the half­
backs must be good blockers. You
need to be strong up the middle at
center and guard because a good nose
guard can take away the middle and
make it easier to defense. That is what
happened to us so badly with Rich
Glover (Nebraska).”
Thornton is sold on the Wishbone.
"As to whether or not it is a better
formation,” he commented, "all I can
say is that we've won 53 of 55 regular
season games with it, have won five
consecutive Southeastern Conference
championships, and if you look at the

continued from 1t

pros and believe that it means some­
thing, we don't have many guys up
there. So the formation and coaching
must have something to do with it.”
Depending upon how you run it,
the Wishbone can be either a power
or finesse offense. Bud Moore went
from Alabama to Kansas and installed
the Wishbone because he had good
backs, but a questionmark line.
"He went to it because it was a fi­
nesse offense and you don't need a
lot of overpowering blocking,” said
Don Baker, Kansas sports information
director. "We were predicted for
seventh or eighth in the Big Eight, fin­
ished fourth, and went to a bowl
game.”
In his first two years at Kansas, No­
lan Cromwell was a defensive back.
Moore switched him to quarterback in
the Wishbone, and Cromwell re­
sponded by rushing for 1,124 yards,
third highest by a quarterback in
NCAA history. In his first start against
Oregon State, he set the NCAA single­
game record with 294 yards . . . and
not even Kansas great Gale Sayers did
that.
The Wishbone is a great running
formation, but sometimes defenses
gang up on it and adjustments have to
be made. "Missouri shut down Ala­
bama's Wishbone in a season opener,”
related Baker, "but Kansas made 556
yards against Missouri. We put Bill
Campfield in motion on every play,
and that took out their cornerback. We
double-teamed their nose guard and
tackle, and that left the gap wide open
because the linebacker moved to
guard the pitch man. We had nine
plays over 20 yards and fullback Den­
nis Wright said: 'Once I passed the
line of scrimmage, I had to look for
someone to tackle me.' ”
Baker pointed out that Kansas "runs
the pure Wishbone where everything
is based strictly on 'read.' Oklahoma
runs the pre-conceived Wishbone
where the play is called in the huddle.
Their Wishbone is more power than
ours, and they have the offensive line
they can do it with.”
Why even hold a huddle if a team
is running the pure Wishbone and the
quarterback will run the triple option?
First, for snap count. Second, just in
case you decide to throw an occa­
sional pass.
"For the Wishbone to be effective,”
says John Keith, sports information di­
rector at Oklahoma, "you must first
have a quarterback with good running

Introducing
the dollar streloiers.

][n college football, Superman lives.
He wears no cape, and the familiar
"S" on his shirt has been replaced by
a number in the 80s.
But he lives. Who else but Super­
man could perform the feats of
strength and dexterity required of the
man who lines up on offense tightly
alongside the tackle?
For tight ends, college coaches seek
Paul Bunyans and Jolly Green Giants
—if they can run 40 yards in 4.8 sec­
onds or better, that is.
Most coaches want a tight end who
is no shorter than 6 feet 3 and no
lighter than 215 pounds.
It helps, too, if he's agile and smart.
He must catch the ball like a wide
receiver and block like a tackle.
Against today's increasingly sophisti­
cated defenses, he must be able to
make decisions quickly and accurately.

Tight end is at once one of the
most demanding and one of the most
unappreciated jobs on a college
football team. Only the coaches seem
to fully realize its importance, and
some of them consider it one of only
two positions for which players are
specifically recruited (the other being
quarterback).
In all of the basic college offenses,
tight ends share the same general
duties. They must block, catch passes
and run with the ball once they've
caught it.
Often the tight end will know in
advance whom he is to block, but
sometimes it's up to him to decide
which of two fast-approaching de­

A tight end can prove his totai worth to an offensive program by having good hands.

fenders to hit. On pass plays, he
must quickly recognize the defensive
formation and remember which pass
routes are most effective against par­
ticular defenses.
Mostly, the tight end's pass patterns
are short ones, generally five to 10
yards from the line of scrimmage.
Most of his patterns are run quickly,
making him an important man on
third and fourth-down possessibntype plays.
He also has to be the master of
practically every type of block except
pass protection. If he has to take on
the defensive end straight up, he must
be able to block head-on with power.
If he has to block the defensive tackle,
usually in a double-team situation, he
and his offensive tackle must know
how to work effectively together. If
he must pull out of the line and loop
to his right or left, usually on option
plays, he must first select the proper
defensive back or linebacker to block,
then execute a crisp, effective open
field block.
In recent years, as the zone pass
defense has gained in popularity, the
tight end has found his receiving
duties expanded.
Zone defenses are designed to de­
crease the threat of the long pass,
putting defenders near all areas of the
secondary with special emphasis on
the deep zones. Therefore, a premium
is put on the ability of the tight end
to determine, or "read," what type of
zone the defense is playing as quickly
as possible.
That determined, he must go quick­
ly to the open spot, or "seam," he
knows will be there. He knows this
because he has been well-prepared by
his coaching staff, and because he has
usually studied films of his opponents'
defense.
Offenses have had to adapt to that
kind of decision-making process be­
cause zone defenses make it hard for
an offense to pit its best receiver
against the defense's weakest secon­
dary man.
Therefore, it's a must for the tight
end to know what to do when the
deep receivers aren't open.
Not only does he have to quickly
recognize the zone and gravitate to­
ward a seam, he must be on the same

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 disabiiity insur­
ance by increasing the elimi­
nation period. The longer the elim­
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
the horse gets away. Do every­

6. Unless you own an oil well,
don’t invest in endowment pol­
icies. For most people, endowment
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 $1,000 deductible.

9. Keep an extra set of accounts
receivable. If you keep a duplicate
set at another location, you could
save up to 50% on the accounts re­
ceivable premium.

10. Check into I.R.A. retirement
plans. They provide a good way to
buy your life insurance through taxdeductible dollars.

11. Don’t get stranded by your
auto insurance. Check to see if
your comprehensive provides trans­
portation expenses if your car is
stolen. You may be able to save
yourself some car fare.

12. Go for the big deductibles.
5. Check your life policy be­
fore you fly. If you have adequate
life insurance coverage, you won’t
have to buy expensive airline trip
transit policies.

You could save a lot on your premi­
ums if you carry a $200 collision
deductible rather than a $100 de­
ductible—and take a $50 deductible
on comprehensive. And any loss
over $100 is deductible from your
income tax.

thing you can to avoid losses to your
home. Check for hazards. Install
alarms. Buy good locks, and use
them. Keep fire department, police
and emergency medical aid num­
bers handy. It’s the best way in the
world to fight rising insurance costs.

14. Don’t look for bargains in
health insurance. A cheap policy
just may not be adequate. And this
is one place where it’s better to have
too much than too little.

15. Buy insurance from an agent
who’s not just a company man.
A local independent agent, who rep­
resents many companies and sells
many different insurance plans, may
be able to get you a better deal. Be­
cause independents are free to sell
you what’s best for you. And get you
the best value to boot.

and more, it looked like LSU, a threetouchdown underdog, might pull the
rug from under fifth-ranked Alabama.
Bear Bryant's Crimson Tide was
clinging to a 17-10 lead late in the
third period when the Tigers brought
the sellout crowd of 68,000 to its
feet for what appeared to be a makeor-break decision.
LSU faced a fourth-and-goal at the
Bama four-yard-line. With Tiger juices
flowing, coach Charley McClendon

elected to pass up a field goal and
go for the touchdown. Whereupon
Bama decided to meet gamble with
gamble.
LSU's call was a pass off of playaction, one in which the Tigers sent
only one receiver, a split end, downand-out to the left. Alabama's call was
a safety blitz.

the right of quarterback Pat Lyons,
came Alan Pizzitola. Although slowed
briefly by the play-action fake, Pizzi­

tola recovered in time to hit Lyons'
arm as he released the football.
A spiral became a knuckle ball. A
touchdown—the split end had easily
beaten one-on-one coverage on the
weak side—became an interception,
one Bama used to set up a field goal
on its way to a 23-10 victory.
In the dressing room, both coaches
agreed the successful blitz by Pizzi­
tola was the turning point. Although

mental wave length as his quarter­
back.
The quarterback must be a good
reader, too, if the pffense is to operate
at peak efficiency. He must see the
same defensive weaknesses as the
tight end, and when the two of them
get the same picture the result can be
devastating.
Because of the many decisions
which must be made against zone
defenses, the tight end's pass route,
then, is more improvised than pre­
planned. He must be able to adapt
quickly to the defense's reaction to
his initial move, then make a counter­
reaction to get himself open for the
pass.
Normally, wide receivers run pre­
planned routes. This is necessary be­
cause they must cover a lot of ground
in a short time. This is possible even
against a zone defense, but usually
zones manage to have two defenders
against wide receivers in deep zones.
Of course, when deep zone de­
fenders make mistakes against swift
wide receivers, the result often is a
surprisingly-easy touchdown.
To make that happen more often,
the tight end must run his improvised
patterns in relation to what his wide
receivers are doing. He doesn't, for
example, want to attract a defender to
an area where one of his wide receiv­
ers is already operating.
It also helps the tight end to know
how his quarterback reacts to broken
play situations. If the passer is flushed
out of his protective pocket, he is in
trouble and can't spend all afternoon
looking for the best pass target.
When a team consistently clicks for
good yardage in such panic situations,
there's a tendency to write it off as
good luck. What it usually means,
though, is that the receivers and the
quarterback know each other well.
For example, should the quarter­
back have to sprint out to his right,
the premier tight end has a specific
move worked out in advance. With
such a plan, the quarterback has a gen­
eral idea of where to look for his
man.
Those are duties shared in all of­
fenses by tight ends. There are, how­
ever, subtle differences in the way
offensive formations call for the job
to be performed. Here are some of
them:
Veer—The Veer tight end' mainly
operates in the secondary, wreaking
havoc on smaller defensive backs.

The prime responsibility of any tight end concerns blocking. Above, one such end
allows his teammate to turn the corner.

Most of the heavy line blocking is
either done by interior linemen and
running backs, or is made unneces­
sary by clever ball-handling on option
plays.
On many Veer teams, the tight end
is the primary pass receiver since the
pass is one of the three options
available to the quarterback In the
offense's basic play situation.
Wishbone—Usually the tight end
goes downfield as though every play
was to be a pass, giving him respon­
sibilities similar to those of a wide
receiver. At the end of most plays,
though, it is his job to block the sec­
ondary man whose job it is to defend
against him.
Most of the time the Wishbone
tight end slams the man directly over
him just before he heads downfield.
This helps prevent the defensive end
from crashing in on the quarterback
before the play develops.
In the Wishbone, tight ends catch
a high percentage of touchdown
passes in relation to their total recep­
tions. Much of the offense is geared
to the tight end's side of the line, and
when secondary defenders become

more aggressive near the goal it isn't
unusual for a tight end to pop
through and take a touchdown pass.
Power I—^The tight end must block
a lot at the line of scrimmage. He
must sometimes hit the defensive
end, sometimes the defensive tackle
and sometimes a linebacker.
He must also run his pass patterns
well. Many Power I teams make the
tight end their primary receiver. It
isn't unusual for the tight end to lead
a Power I team in receiving.
Pro Set—Again, the tight end's job
requires a combination of blocking
and receiving. Most Pro Set offenses,
however, work toward getting faster
split ends and wide receivers open
for the longer passes. Usually, then,
the tight end is a secondary or pos­
session-play receiver.
Whatever the offense, and what­
ever the play, the tight end has a job
to do. It takes a big, strong, fast man
with receiving and decision-making
ability to do his job. Considering the
kind of remarkable athletes coaches
are recruiting for the position nowa­
days, it's no surprise that much of the
time they get the job done.
^

ability. He also must have durability—
he gets hit hard after he pitches to the
trailing halfback and also when he car­
ries himself—and be able to throw
adequately. You don't pass much out
of the Wishbone, but he'll throw a
high-percentage pass—one that's at­
tempted when the enemy throws
everybody up to the line of scrimmage
to guard against the run, leaving the
receivers open.
"Your halfbacks must have break­
away speed and be able to run inside
and outside. They must be good
blockers because blocking on the cor­
ners is an absolute must on wide plays,
joe Washington was the best blocking
back I've seen in college football and
he enabled our other halfbacks to gain
good yardage.
"The fullback is usually a bigger per­
son than the halfbacks, but he, too,
needs quickness and speed. Our full­
backs hit the line of scrimmage so
quickly that despite the fact they'll get
caught often, they'll still gain good
yardage first. And the fullback must be
a good blocker because that's what
he's doing most of the time.
"The Wishbone requires quickness
from everybody," continued Keith.
"Your linemen need to be fast and
mobile, and size is a major require­
ment.
"The day is over when you can line
up with light, quick folks in college
football. Alabama was the last team to
discover that. We learned our lesson
back in 1966 when Notre Dame buried
us with big, quick people."
There are some interesting statistics
connected with the Wishbones. Final
1975 NCAA statistics show that:
The Bones averaged 279.7 yards
rushing per game; the rest of the na­
tion, 194.2. They averaged 4.65 yards
per rush; the rest, 3.82. They averaged
24.3 points; the rest, 19.5. Although
they didn't pass as much, the Bones
still averaged 355.5 yards per game
total offense, compared with 319.6 for
the remainder of the country.
But the total offensive championship
went to a pro set team. California had
a beautifully balanced attack which
amazingly piled up 2,522 yards rushing
and 2,522 yards passing.
One rap against the Wishbone is
that it leads to so many fumbles, with
nobodv knowing exactly where the
ball will go, plus any indecision on the
quarterback's part. But in 1975, the
Bones lost one fumble every 30.4
rushing plays, just a little worse than
the national average of 31.0. They had

One certain play for any power football text is the power siyeep utilizing two or more
linemen leading the charge.

one interception every 13.9 passes, a
little worse than the national average,
but when you put them together, the
Bones had one turnover every 25.8
p^ays, better than the rest of the na­
tion's 24.4.
But if you put everything into a com­
puter, you'd probably find it didn't
matter what formation you used. The
team with the best personnel and ex­
ecution is going to win. Alabama,
Texas, Oklahoma, and those folks are
going to win even if they run out of
the single wing formation.
"The Wishbone isn't the ground
gaining formation it was three years
ago because defenses are gaining,"
says Oklahoma's Keith. "But if we have
better players or more talent than the
next guy—which has been the case the
last four years—then no matter what
we run, we're the favorites."
Another full house formation, while
not used nearly as extensively as the
Wishbone, is still in operation in Co­
lumbus, Ohio.
Ohio State doesn't employ the full
house T as its regular offense, but
when the Buckeyes get inside the en­
emy's 10-yard line (and that's often)
or in short yardage situations out on
the field (such as third and 2) they go
Into it.

Coach Woody Hayes affectionately
calls it his "high button shoe" or "ro­
bust" offense. It is simple, basic, and
power football. Most of the time the
fullback gets the ball and runs off
tackle.
This is Hayes' favorite maneuver,
and he has turned out more star full­
backs and off^sive tackles than per­
haps anyone in college football
history. While it isn't too imaginative,
it certainly is effective.
For example. Buckeye fullback Pete
Johnson led the nation in scoring in
1975 with 25 touchdowns, the second
best mark in NCAA annals.
"To my knowledge," said quarter­
back Coach George Chaump, "Ohio
State stands alone in scoring percent­
age inside the 10-yard line. I would
estimate we've been successful wejl
over 90 per cent of the time in the
eight years I've been associated with
Woody."
Hayes likes to chide people who put
down his "robust" offense as being
nothing more than a fullback attack.
"Everybody knows the fullback gets
the ball down there (inside 10),"
Woody says with a smirk on his face,
"and that's why Cornelius (quarter­
back Greene) gets so many touch­
downs."

SAFETY BLITZ

just one time, but once was enough.
Actually, you don't hear that much
about blitzing safeties in college foot­
ball. The pros made it popular. Al­
though it was used frequently by the
old Boston Patriots of the AFL, the
St. Louis Cardinals and free safety
Larry Wilson later captured most of
the ink when instant replays of the
Cards'^ defensive back blowing in
down the middle, and nailing the
quarterback, made him some kind of
folk hero.
It's easy to see why the pros use
it more. They have an idea where the
quarterback will be. In college, so
far as the QB goes, it's more of an
East-West situation rather than dropback.
Still you have some college teams
relying on a weak, or free, safety
blitz when the enemy has the ball in­
side the defensive club's 40-yard-line.
The feeling is the defense must give

the offense a bad play on one of
four downs. On second and medium
yardage, the defense might elect to
send eight and hold three—the two
corners and the strong safety. It's a
stunt that can be effective on outside
runs and passes. On the stunt manuver both defensive ends are re­
sponsible for containment. The end
on the strong side is also responsible
for the third receiver strong, the end
on the weak side for the second re­
ceiver weak. The weak safety comes
through the center-guard gap on the
weak side of the formation. The cor­
ners and strong safety play man-to­
man on their respective receivers.
Another stunt, more widely em­
ployed, is the strong-safety fire, which
is used as much to contain the run
as to get to the quarterback. Some
teams consider it a good third-downmedium-yardage defense. It gives the
defense added pressure coming from

the big part of the field. On this one
skilled manuver, the strong safety
is brought to the line of scrimmage
and sent right to the QB, The end and
tackle to the side of the call slant hard
to the inside, while the linebacker on
the side of the calj moves outside and
has containment responsibility. The
secondary covers man-to-man with the
help of the weakside linebacker.
Blitzing a weak safety, for obvious
reasons, can be a feast-or-famine
maneuver and some cheating is re­
quired. Usually, the normal alignment
of 10 yards deep is too deep to blitz
effectively. To disguise this type of
blitz, a defense will walk it^ free
safety up five yards, and then back to
the regular 10, before the /snap. If
this is done several times in the
course of a game, it will create the
proper climate when the blitz call
comes. Then there is no retreat.

^■n the 1950s, there was a game be-

Even football fans admit they're loony,

tween San Jose State and Washington
State in Pullman, Washington which
was memorable only for the cold,
The temperature was well-below the
freezing mark, as players and coaches
wondered: Is this game really necessary?
The public address announcer,
about to begin his recitation of the
starting lineups, did a doubletake as
he looked around the stadium. "Dear
Sir," he began.
That solitary fan, watching a game
of no significance in miserable
weather in an otherwise empty stadium, epitomizes the college football
fan. It may not be necessary to be
crazy to be a football fan, but it helps,
No, scratch that. It may be necessary,

That is, if you ask a fan of Ole Miss,
he'll certainly tell you that LSU fans
are crazy.
College football is often considered
part of the overall entertainment package, but there is no real comparison
between your average football fan
and a person of, say, opera, ballet or
the theatre. The patron of the arts is
pampered and civilized, two adjectives which would never be applied to
football fans. Consider a few comparisons:
1) Food and drink. At the opera,
theatre, ballet and symphony, there
are often small restaurants, dispensing real food. There are also bars,
which can be a mixed blessing; the
combination of a couple of stiff drinks

and a Wagnerian opera has induced
more deep slumber than any number
of Sominex pills.
At a football game, there are re­
freshments, too—^warm soda and cold
hot dogs. Passed from the aisle, both
soda and mustard are usually slopped
on the patrons in between vendor
and customer.
2) Comfort. Patrons of the arts sit
in well-padded seats. There are car­
pets on the floor, and usually fancy
draperies as well. There are often ele­
vators and escalators to the higher
floors.
The ultimate in comfort for a col­
lege football fan is a plastic seat.
Older stadiums have only wooden
benches. Each row is numbered for
at least one more person than can be
accommodated. There are often long
flights of stairs to climb to get into
the stadiums. There are never enough
rest rooms for those who have been
drinking an elixir, which gives the fan
a choice of standing in line for the
entire halftime or sneaking out for
three minutes at the start of the sec­
ond quarter, during which time you
can be sure that two touchdowns and
and a field goal will be scored.
3) Weather. At the ballet, custom­
ers sit in air-conditioned or heated
buildings, depending on the season.
College football fans are victims of
the often capricious weather. In the
midwest, a nice day for football is any
day when it isn't snowing. In the
northeast, you have to worry about
the nor'easters. In the south, the heat
and humidity can be stifling. In the
northwest, rain can drive one away.
Yet, fans subject themselves to such
conditionswillingly.lt is difficult for me
to feel too superior to them. In my
youth, my father, uncle and I watched
a game in a driving rainstorm, though
we chickened out late in the third
quarter and left; by then, our team
was down, 42-0.
It should be noted that all com­
ments about college football fans and
their ability to withstand the extremes
of weather do not extend to fans in
southern California. In southern Cali­
fornia, fans stay at home if the'temcontinued on 15t

perature goes below 70 and go to the
beach if it goes above 80.
4) The final difference between the
arts and football is the commitment
of the football fan. If the symphony
orchestra has an off night, the audi­
ence still claps politely; people don't
even wince at the obvious clinkers.

ing the entire game. Arkansas fans
salute their team with hog calls.
College football is less a sport than
a way of life. The madness that foot­
ball induces extends beyond the play­
ing field. The game itself may last only
about three hours, but the foreplay
and aftermath last much longer.

To what extent will the football fan go to see his favorite team?

An opera buff who is truly aroused
will murmur, "Bravo."
Bravo, indeed. Your average col­
lege football fan, self-contained as he
or she may be at other times, goes a
little, well, yes, crazy at a game. Woe
be to the coach who calls the wrong
play or the quarterback who throws
an interception; not polite applause
but a cascade of boos will descend on
them. Fans cheer their team, jeer the
officials, cast aspersions on the birth
of players on other teams . . . and it
is all done at full throat.
Sometimes, the fans are more in­
teresting than the game itself. Texas
A&M students, for instance, stand dur-

Strong men fear to leave their
homes in Dallas the weekend of a
Texas-Oklahoma game, for instance.
Sooner and Longhorn fans roam the
streets the entire weekend, omitting
such non-essentials as sleep. Eating
just enough to keep body and soul
together and imbibing rather more
than that, they seek out fans of the
opposing team to start miniature wars
of their own.
Behavior that would be considered
aberrant at any other time is passed
off as normal during the week pro­
ceeding a big game. Obscene com­
ments on the University of Michigan
football team are displayed prom­

inently in Columbus, Ohio before a
Buckeye-Wolverine game, and judges
tolerantly excuse them.
The day of the game, fans gather
very early for parties in their cars,
trucks and recreational vehicles. These
parties are commonly called "tailgate
parties" because the original idea was
to let the tailgate down on a station
wagon and put food and drink there.
They have become more complicated
in recent years, with multi-course
meals being prepared, accompanied
by the drink common to the area; in
California, for instance, it is always
wine. Occasionally, the party will be
such a success that fans miss the open­
ing kickoff, the first quarter and—in
extreme cases—the entire game. This
tends to happen more frequently in
California where the priorities are
somewhat different.
The original rationale for tailgate
parties was as a way of beating the
traffic. Now, of course, the traffic is
heaviest three hours before a game,
when everybody rushes to beat the
traffic.
In each section of the country, fans
are convinced that their football is
the best, in some way. or another.
Often, this requires convoluted logic
and a precise definition of what is
best, much like radio stations which
can prove that they are No. 1 by the
way they define their market.
In the East, for instance. Ivy League
teams have long since opted out of
the mad race for No. 1 in the polls.
Ivy League schools do not give out
athletic scholarships as such, though
special ability is taken into account
when scholarships are issued and
some top athletes — Calvin Hill, Ed
Marinaro — have qualified. Players
sometimes miss games because there
is a laboratory field trip that weekend.
Fans know this, and they argue that
this is the most sensible way to ap­
proach football. Since their approach
is the best, their teams must be the
best.
In the midwest, fans of eight of the
Big Ten teams dutifully watch their
teams play for third place. Their game,
they're convinced, is the best because
it is what football is all about—knock­
ing down other people. Indeed, play­
ers usually have no choice because
teams in the midwest tend to use
little finesse. There are fans who could
not define a forward pass, never hav­
ing seen one.

^[n 450 B.C., a Greek athletic

trainer named Dromeus conceived a
meat diet for athletes and it merely
took progress and modern technology
more than 2,400 years to prove him

As a result, it is the medical profes­
sion which has brought about changes
in diet for athletes, destroying some of
the old myths about high-protein in­
take in favor of an emphasis on car­
bohydrates.
"A minimal amount of meat or pro­
tein is necessary for maintaining a
positive nitrogen balance, but it actu­
ally should be only a part of a bal­
anced diet and certainly not the domi­
nant part," observed Oklahoma State
team physician Donald Cooper in a
1965 study.
"It is not protein that is utilized to
produce muscual energy; it is glyco­
gen, or simple sugars, and phos­
phates," Dr. Cooper reported. "In
fact, it is better to avoid proteins in a
pre-game meal, as they tend to aggra­
vate the problem of acid in the mus­
cles and other body systems."
Though Dr. Cooper's report was
made more than 10 years ago, only re­
cently have several schools begun to
change their thinking about an
athlete's diet and the pre-game meal.
"I've been in this business for 50
years and I've seen so much steak, I
always order fish for myself now,"

noted Henry Schmidt, veteran Univer­
sity of Santa Clara trainer who also
worked for many years with the 49ers
and the East-West Game.
"We always used to eat steak be­
fore, but now we have the athletes eat­
ing hotcakes," said Schmidt. "I really
don't understand it, but they claim it's
easier to digest hotcakes. We changed
the diet for our football players, but
the basketball team still eats steaks.
"Maybe the athletes in the old days
could burn off all that protein easier,"
Schmidt offered. "There were no cars
then and they'd be walking many
miles every day. I always get in trouble
when I say this, but I think they were
in better shape and tougher then."
It can also be safely assumed that
many schools are grasping the newer
carbohydrate diets because they obvi­
ously are more feasible economically
in these times of spiraling athletic
costs. It costs a lot less to order hot­
cakes for 60 football players instead of
steaks, which are at least $5 at most
hotels which provide pre-game meals.
"The training table contents really
don't make much difference if the

wrong.
Dromeus, who did his thing in the
village of Stymphalus, contended that
muscle was so vital in athletic en­
deavor that young men would become
more proficient in their sport by de­
vouring more muscle—in other
words, large quantities of meat.
It was a justifiable assumption.
Dromeus'
athletes were wellconditioned and skilled in their sport,
so when they consumed great
amounts of meat and continued to
have success, the diet was considered
a key.
To this day, many coaches and
trainers are proponents of the highprotein diet, explaining why steak is
still the most popular item on training
tables throughout our land.
UCLA's venerable Ducky Drake, the
Dromeus of Westwood, reasonably
explains why Bruin athletes still lean
heavily to steak, even for their pre­
game meal a few hours prior to an
event.
"Over the years our teams have The pre-game meal is an all-important item on the game week schedule. Steak is a
been pretty successful," Drake, a favorite dish but carbohydrates are also emphasized.
former track coach, understated. "We
are aware of the studies on protein
and carbohydrates, but don't feel
there's any reason to change."
Another highly-successful university
embraces the same philosophy—with
a slight adjustment. "We now order a
smaller steak (8 ounces) and increase
the carbohydrates, especially for the
track and basketball athletes who burn
it off so fast," explained the athletic
trainer.
"But the ultimate decision rests with
the coach, and most coaches are slow
to change what has been a winning
formula," Ward admitted. "But we
have slowly made some changes, like
ordering the smaller steak."
It seems unusual that trainers, who
have received some instruction in nu trition,do not have the final say in
meals for athletes. That responsibility
rests on the shoulders of the coach,
who undoubtedly receives advice from
the team physician.

FOOTBALL

FOOTBALL FAN
continued from 15t
In the Southeastern Conference,
fans are convinced that their football
is the best because, year after year,
there are more Southeastern Confer­
ence teams in bowl games than teams
from any other conference. That they
are there because the conference al­
lows any team which gets an invita­
tion to go and because conferences
like the Big Ten and Pacific-Eight have,
until recently, only allowed their
champion to go to a bowl, does not
seem to make a dent in the fans' con­
sciousness.
The Pacific Eight Conference tends
to be use and seven teams fighting
for second place more often than not.
Still, fans believe that their football
is the best because their representa­
tive usually wins the Rose Bowl by
throwing the ball up in the air a few
times, a maneuver which has taken
Ohio State or Michigan by complete
surprise.
The college football madness cul­
minates in the big games. There are
two types of big games in college
football. One is the kind of game on
which a bowl bid rides: OklahomaNebraska has been an example of that
because, in recent years, the teams
seem to be ranked 1-2 nationally
every time they play. The fans' mad­
ness there is conventional, i.e., a be­
lief that Winning Is Everything.
Much more difficult to explain to
visitors from other planets would be
the traditional games — The Came
(Harvard-Yale), The Big Came (California-Stanfordf/ Army-Navy. These
games are the 'social event of the year
for many. There are parties all week,
as classmates hold reunions to talk
about how many of their friends have
died during the year.
It is often said of these games that
you can forget about the teams' rec­
ords during the year because the un­
derdog often wins. That is not true.
The favorite usually wins these games,
as it does any others. It is the fans who
forget their teams' records. There are
many who truly do not care if their
team goes 0-10 the rest of the season
if it wins the traditional game. At these
favored games, it makes no difference
whether both teams have had great
seasons, poor seasons, medium sea­
sons; the attendance will still be the
same, full house. It makes no differ­
ence to fans whether the teams are
well-matched or poorly. It is, simply,
the game to see.
Yeah, you have to be crazy.

athlete is basically well-conditioned
and well-nourished," said Jerome
Patmont, team physician of the 1975
U.S. Pan American Games squad.
"This is even truer concerning the
pre-game meal," added Dr. Patmont.
"What an athlete eats several hours
before a game is not digested by the
time he competes, so it really doesn't
matter what he eats. The big thing
now is fluid replacement—that is a
much more important concern before
and during a game.
"I strongly believe in the new trend
toward carbohydrate loading," Dr.
Patmont pointed out. "I believe in
strenuous workouts up to 48 hours be­
fore competition, then total rest and
loading up with carbohydrates. That
will produce the highest energy level
during competition."
Dr. Patmont is not alone in playing
down the value of the pre-game meal.
Athletes, who tend to have voracious
appetities, lean heavily to junk foods,
as do many college students, but this
isn't necessarily a detriment in prepar­
ing for a game.
"The meal before any sporting event
should be acceptable to the individual
athlete," noted nutritionist and author
Ellington Darden at a recent Atlanta
clinic for team physicians. "Whatever
the athlete feels will help his perform­
ance should be eaten.
"In fact," Dr. Darden continued,
"the pre-game meal for 98 percent of
your athletes supplies very little of the
actual energy that is used in the game.
This energy ordinarily comes from
food consumed from two to 14 days
prior to the contest.
"I know some coaches will cringe,
but there's nothing wrong with
athletes eating pizzas and hambur­
gers," Dr. Darden stressed. "Properly
prepared with meat and sausage,
cheese, tomatoes and enriched bread
or dough, pizzas are good sources of
protein and calcium and also contri­
bute their share of iron, vitamins, car­
bohydrates and fat to the daily diet."
Or the pre-game meal can consist of
nothing.
"One of the reasons we stopped or­
dering steak for pre-game meals is that
so many of the athletes would leave
them on their plate," explained one
university trainer.
"A lot of athletes have those pre­
game jitters and they just don't feel
like eating a couple of hours before a
game. Now, our really big meal, usu­
ally prime rib or steak, will be eaten 48

Meals during the week offer a balanced variety of foods—and lots of it!

hours prior to a game and then we
gradually taper off on protein and add
more carbohydrates," he said.
An article in Physician and Sports
Medicine magazine supports that
thinking.
"We feel the content of the pre­
game meal is not critical as long as it
does not make the athlete sick, un­
comfortable, irritate his gastrointesti­
nal tract or markedly delay the empty­
ing time of his stomach," the article
states.
"Far more important is the combina­
tion of diet and exercise during the
week," it continues. "By working ex­
tremely hard Tuesday and Wednesday,
thus exhausting the muscle glycogen;
and having light workouts Thursday,
very little or no work Friday, and a diet
higher in carbohydrates those last two
days, the athlete should be ready for
competition and a maximum effort on
Saturday.
"What the athlete eats as his pre­
game meal is probably not going to in­
fluence physiological performance a
great deal, but it may well have an im­
portant psychological impact. The
main thing is hot to worry if he prefers
to eat nothing. We recommend a
pre-game meal of orange juice, pan­
cakes with a small amount of butter
and syrup, dry toast, honey, fruit cup
or Jello, milk or tea with sugar," the
article concludes.
The American Medical Assn., of
course, also has its opinions on nutri­
tion for athletes. Basically, the AMA
agrees that the pre-game is highly

overrated and that a last-minute at­
tempt for energy likewise is invalid.
"Conditioning and athletic skill rank
far and away as the most important
factors in successful athletic perform­
ance," claims an AMA report. "Nutri­
tion can assist only to the extent that
the diet is adequate in essential nut­
rients.
"The body's protein levels are estab­
lished at least 48 hours before a game,
so when an athlete consumes more
than enough protein, no benefits to
physical performance result and, in
some instances, disadvantages are in­
curred," the AMA adds.
The group also contends that a car­
bohydrate cannot be assimilated by
the body in the few hours between the
pre-game meal and the competition,
labelling as false the popular belief
that sugar, honey or cola have the
capability of providing quick energy
just prior to an event.
Summing up, it seems obvious that
virtually anything will work if some
nutritional guidelines are followed and
if emphasis on conditioning and diet is
placed in the earlier part of the week
prior to the game. Energy cannot be
increased by the pre-game meal, so
abstinence or minimal intake is advis­
able.
Just think of how much money ath­
letic departments could have saved if
it weren't for an ancient Greek named
Dromeus, a man who probably did
more for the American beef industry
than McDonald's, Jack in the Box and
the Sizzler combined.

explicit government regulations. A
Roman citizen's profession, class, and
rank were instantly recognized by his
attire. Even the number of stripes on
sandals was dictated!
Today, in sunny climates where col­
lege football fans can luxuriate in
75-90° weather, sandals are still in.
They, along with a generous sprinkling
of Adidas tennis shoes, penny loafers,
and Earth shoes, top off the garb that
has become de rigueur among
students—jeans.
So integral a part of fashion today,
the Smithsonian Institute in Washing­
ton, D.C. has included Levis in its
Americana collection. In 1850, at the
height of Cold Rush fever, Levi
Strauss, the brainchild of this
phenomenon, travelled to San Fran­
cisco with a roll of canvas he had
planned to sell to a tentmaker. In­
stead, he noticed that the goldseekers
who had arrived before him needed
sturdy overalls. He fashioned a con­
siderable number of pants from his
canvas roll and the miners im­
mediately purchased them. Strauss
changed the material from sailcloth
and duck to a fabric imported from
France called 'serge de Mimes.' This
was shortened to 'de Mimes,' and fi­
nally, 'denim.' He was in business for

life and discovered a goldmine with­
out even panning for it!
Blustery winds, gales, and sleet in
the East and Midwest certainly call for
more substantial attire than jeans, a
rugby shirt, and huaraches. A warm,
comfortable coat or jacket is
paramount in getting the fan through
four spirited, but freezing, quarters
and might include any of the follow­
ing:
Petersham: a heavy, short overcoat
made of thick, rough, almost
windproof, wool in navy blue and
used in seafaring or for severe weath­
er. Mamed for Lord Petersham who in­
troduced it and also called pea jacket,
reefer, or watch coat.
Tow: a double-breasted, threequarters length coat which fastens
with toggle buttons.
Trench: a loose, overall rainproof
coat with collar and belt of same fabric
and having many pockets and flaps.
Similar to coats worn by officers in the
trenches during World War I.
Blazer: a lightweight sports jacket,
semi-tailored, usually in bright colors;
so-called because it was originally
made in brilliant, vertical stripes.
Sometimes worn as distinguishing
garment of school, team, or college.
Cardigan: a plain, box-like type of
sports jacket or short coat, open of
buttoned down front; usually with
long sleeves. Mamed for the Seventh
Earl of Cardigan, a British army officer,
from the early 19th century.

Parka: a jacket with hood, usually
reinforced nylon with a padded lining;
may be down-filled, usually zippered
front opening, sometimes furlined.
Originally, Siberian and Alaskan
hooded outer garment made of animal
skins.
Poncho: a straight piece of water­
proof fabric with opening in center for
head. Originated in South America,
but today worn universally, chiefly as
raincoat.
Handy accessories to this hefty list
might include serviceable ear muffs
(also called earlaps or eartabs),
stadium or polar boots, and gloves or
mittens. In the 1920s some ingenious
soul invented the cigarette mitt with a
separate stall for the forefinger to
permit holding a cigarette.
Fifty years ago also marked the start
of the Ivy League look which is still, if
not trendy, at least seen in certain cir­
cles around the country: button-down
collars, tweed sport coats, gray flan­
nels, white buckskin shoes, crew-neck
sweaters.
And the old bromide, "If you hang
onto something long enough, it will
come back into style," certainly rings
true for this Fall.

Argyie Piaid

Lindbergh: a sturdy, warm jacket
similar to a windbreaker with deep
pockets and fitted waistband and
wrists. Popularized by Charles A.
Lindbergh who was first aviator to
make solo nonstop transatlantic flight
(1927).

Tattersaii

WOMEM'S,WEAR DAILY, the happy
harbinger of (football) fashions, main­
tains that blanket plaids and large,
hooded jackets are in. Three of the
most popular plaids over the years in­
clude: Argyie (large diamonds in
bright colors with contrasting diagonal
overstripes); Glen (squares of small
woven checks alternated with squares
of larger checks in one or two muted
colors with white); and Tattersaii (a
small check design of dark lines on a
light background, patterned after
horse blankets used at famous London
horse markets).
