that, the Fire Gods had permitted
only one touchdown to Frostburg in
a 21-7 victory, a sole TD against
Westminster in a 10-7 loss and
yielded only a field goal to Slippery

fective in an obvious passing situation-.
“The defense has to believe you’re
going to pass. Which means you have to
encourage them. It's the old step-intomy-parlor routine with the spider and
the fly. You lure ’em in and then you
spring the trap.’’
A team that works the draw best is
one recruited from drama class. Theat­
rics are needed by all 11 players on of­
fense.
“Better believe it/’ the coach agreed.
“You have to do a great selling job. You
have to convince the defense you’re
going to throw ’cause you want them
with their ears back, rearing on their
hind legs and really coming at you.
“The whole philosophy behind the
draw is to spread out the defense,
create gaps, widen lanes. What you’re
trying to achieve is a one-on-one situa­
tion. And if you have the best athletes,
then your one-on-one is gonna vvdn.’’
So it all begins with the classic
con—I’ll make you believe I’m going to
do something when, in fact, I intend to
do just the opposite. In the case of the
draw, show pass even though you’re
going to run.
“It starts with your offensive line,” the
coach said. “Your blockers set up like
it’s a pass. They retreat, a step at a time.
“They have to steer the rushers what­
ever way they want to go, make ’em be­
lieve they’re overpowering the blockers.
You keep suckering them in. And your
receivers, they’ve got to run their pat­
terns with convictions, make that sec­
ondary go after them, make them wor­
ried about getting burned by a pass.
“And your quarterback, he’s really got
to fake it. He’s the one who makes the
draw go because the defense is always
taught that the longer the QB has the
ball then the deeper the linebackers
and the defensive backs should drop.
That’s what I meant by spreading out
the defense.”
Even the most casual fan knows the
draw, of course. The quarterback, if he
is convincing, backpedals furiously, tries
to work up a look of terror and panic as
though he is about to be sacked. And
then, at the proper moment, he slips
the ball into the waiting back’s belly.
The momentum of the defense’s pass
rush has, by now, carried it beyond the
point of that exchange.
“If things have gone right,” the coach
said, “you’ve split the front group, and
you’ve got the others 30 or 40 yards
downfield. If your man picks up a
block, he can go all the way.”
But there is another key to the draw.
Patience.
“Right,” the coach said. “Patience in
executing it. Most teams run the draw
too fast, and they don’t finish it off. The

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

Two variations of the draw: Top: The quarterback fades back faking a pass piay and

and the draw can take you all the way.
And sometimes we’ll use it just for a
change of pace. Let’s say we’re not
completing any passes and we’re not
getting an3Thing by running, we’ll call
the draw just for variety, just to disrupt
the other guy’s tempo.”
Teams which use the draw have
learned they need options off it. So they
run a reverse off the draw. Or they pass
off the dravK, It seems logical. If you’re

going to depend heavily on one play,
you need variations off it. After all, ev­
eryone knows how modern and com­
plicated the game has become. Why, the
draw itself is a new-fangled invention,
isn’t it?
“I have a book in my office,” a coach
said,“writtenby Amos Alonzo Stagg, and
it’s got a draw play diagrammed in it.
You know when the book was pub­

posed to have said to his coach, Knute
Rockne.
Years later, in 1928, a great Army team
was leading the Irish at halftime—and
there was no bigger game at the time
than Notre Dame-Army. Rockne secured
his place in college football legend with
a stirring halftime talk asking his troops
to win that one for the Gipper.
Late in the game. Jack Chevigny
crossed the goal line for the winning
touchdown in a 12-6 upset, crying:
“This one’s for the Gipper!’’
Memories of a historic game—one
that his team lost—helped Gerald Ford
years later in another rugged field, that
of politics.
Ford played linebacker and center on
the 1934 Michigan team that won just
one game. In fact, he was voted its most
valuable player.
The Wolverines were facing Min­
nesota, the eventual national champion,
and the battle cry in Minneapolis, the
game site, was “Mangle Michigan.’’ A
record crowd of 60,000 turned out to
see it happen.
Minnesota wore down Michigan vvdth
raw power in the second half and won
34-0, but that afternoon remained spe­
cial to Ford, even after he became
President.
“During 25 years in the rough-andtumble world of politics, I often thought
of the experiences before, during and
after that game in 1934,’’ Ford said. “Re­
membering them has helped me many
times to face a tough situation, take ac­

spite adverse odds. I remember how
Michigan students and people in Ann
Arbor met us at the train station that
Sunday. There was a rousing parade,
and this was a meaningful tribute to the
fight the Wolverines had put up against
Minnesota.’’
A man who would become President
figured in another historic game,
though in quite a different way.
Stanford-California is one of football’s
tradition-laden matches. California had
been playing for years, but Stanford
fielded its first football team in 1892. A
match between the two Bay Area
schools was a natural.
It was such a natural, in fact, that a
crowd estimated at 20,000 showed up,
though tickets had been printed for
only 10,000.
Little paper money was in circulation
in those days, and the mountain of
change caused a crisis. Herbert Hoover,
student manager of the Stanford team,
quickly rounded up wash boilers and
dish pans to hold the gold and silver
spectators paid for their tickets.
Incidentally, there was another prob­
lem in the initiation of this great rivalry.
When the referee called the captains to
the center of the field for the coin toss,
it was discovered no one had brought a

football. The game was delayed for
more than an hour while a storekeeper
who happened to be in the crowd rode
his horse into town to get a ball.
For Huey Long, the late governor of
Louisiana, every game that LSU played
was a big game. He meddled in the
school’s football affairs, and in 1934 he
demonstrated the depths of his obses­
sion.
LSU was scheduled to play Southern
Methodist under Tiger Stadium’s lights,
but the Barnum & Bailey Circus, on its
annual tour of the nation, planned a
show in direct conflict with the game.
The Kingfish, a U.S. senator at that
time, feared the circus would cut the
crowd, and LSU had given SMU a big
cash guarantee.
Long decided the circus just wouldn’t
play, and he found a relatively obscure
state law to back his hand.
Long called in a representative of the
circus and informed him that Louisiana
had a cattle dip law that applied to any
animal crossing the state line.
“Did you ever dip a lion?’’ Long asked
the startled man. The circus perform­
ance was called off.
Big games. They’re the brightest
threads in the fabric of college football.

HELD GOAL KICKER
continued

The field goal kicker had discovered a
large, dry piece of plywood, and he was
doing his exercises on it, in relative
comfort. The coach snickered. Then he
caught himself and put on his practice
face.
“What do you think you’re doing?” he
demanded, glaring down, hands hard
on hips.
The kicker stopped and looked up,
grinning sheepishly. “Well, uh, my
drills,” he said.
“Do them over there,” the coach said,
pointing to a vacant puddle, ‘so’s you
can get nice and wet just like everybody
else.”
Any player worth his sweat would
have sneaked to the plywood, of course,
but this player happened fo be the
kicker. Fate seems to bring kickers and
awkward moments together. Still, the
incident serves to illustrate an idea
held dear by many—kickers are differ­
ent, and not really part of the team.
One sideline philosopher offered a
theory. “Kickers are the way they are,”
he said, “because they were left alone
too much as small children.”
A West Coast kicker, one of this sea­
son’s top returnees, may never have
heard that assessment, but he touched
its fringes with one of his own.
“If we don’t seem like part of the
team,” he said, “it’s because we’re alone
so much with our own practice.”
The kicker suffers even greater sol­
itude during the game. Facing only oc­
casional action, and at brittle times, he
is left on the sidelines with festering
thoughts of doom to come. His is the
crisis art. There are 22 men assembled
for a field goal try, but the thousands of
eyes are on only one man. The screw
tightens. It is a good time to break and
run for the exit. But the kicker just kicks
and awaits the thunder—cheers or
jeers.
“Kicking is a mental thing, not a phy­
sical thing,” said a Southern hooter.
That seems to be the consensus of
kickers.
And perhaps that is what sets the
kicker apart and tends to distort the
view of him. There is a belief—and it
can only be described as universal—
that the kicker’s mind is in the trees if
not among the stars; that he wanders
around muttering secret rhythms or
praying to obscure deities; that he
breathes the rarefied air of discus throw­
ers and metaphysical philosophers.
This is not altogether true. On the
other hand, it is not altogether false.
Some kickers admit to striving for
mind control, to taking quiet moments
before a game for cleansing relaxation
through something approaching trans­
cendental meditation—things practi­
cally taboo in the manly art, if they are

A kicker depends as much on mental concentration as on actual physical skills.

thought of at all. Kickers also “think
kicking” in a way that runners cannot
“think running.”
“When I hit a good kick,” said a
Northwest kicker, “I practice it in my
mind and I try to repeat that same kick
over and over. ”
Thus occupied with the pursuit of
the perfect kick, a kicker can develop a
blank look on his face, giving rise to
suspicions in those around him. But
the exercise is not all that odd. Pro golf­
ers practice the perfect shot in their
mind. They call it "visualization.” It is
recommended by many. Jack Nicklaus
among them.

"There’s no doubt about it, kickers
are different, ” said a Southeastern hoot­
er. "You have to be, in order to spend
the long hours alone.” He used to kick
for hours, between two trees at home,
until it got too dark to see.
Other football players get strong
nicknames , like "Bam”or ”Hawk,”calling
up visions of speed and power and
danger. It’s different with kickers. Theirs
fall into the category of "Bird” and
"Blade,” both originating because of the
kicker’s slim build.
Any man who can endure these
nicknames can look at a 40-yarder

HHJ) GOAL KICKER
continued

without flinching. It's all in how one
handles the pressure. Many kickers
around the country agree that the
kicker has to drop a curtain somewhere
in his mind.
"You have to blank out the pressure,"
said a top returnee this season.
And just when that point is con­
ceded, along comes a dissenting voice.
"I put the pressure on,” said a South­
eastern hooter. "When I was a fresh­
man, I would blank it out, and I would
overcompensate and not concentrate
enough. So last year I decided to con­
centrate more. I would tell myself every
time-—I’ve got to make this one.”
The reverse English worked for that
kicker, but not for a Southwestern hoot­
er, who went into a game last year vvath
nine straight field goals and needed
just two more to tie the NCAA record. "I
guess I got to thinking about that rec­
ord,” he said. “I blew the next kick.”
Some kickers develop a concentration
approaching tunnel vision. A Northwesterner, for example, beat an opponent
last year with a remarkable field goal in
the dying seconds. The snap was poor
and the holder was still trying to get
the ball down when his foot came
through. He brushed off the praise.
“I didn’t pay any attention to any of
that,” the kicker said. “It’s my job to
kick. It’s his job to get it down.”
Better than anyone, the holder un­
derstands the kicker. One of last year’s
leading kickers, an electrical engineer­
ing graduate, put the relationship in
such a way as to underline both the
holder’s importance and the kicker’s
different way of looking at things.
"He isn’t my holder,” this hooter in­
sisted. " I’m his kicker. ”

The pursuit of the perfect kick ieads the kicker to practice, practice and more practice.

Kickers, generally a cerebral group,
tend to set things in order quickly. An
East Coast hooter, for example, was
once challenged on the use of the kick­

Kicker and holder are really a team unto themselves.

ing tee. The guy said a kicker is al­
ready talented, the tee is an unfair ad­
vantage. The kicker dispatched him
neatly. "They don’t make Tony Dorsett
wear heavier shoes, do they?” he said.
The kicker is possibly the most wel­
come character in football. He is
"Everyman” doing what every man
cannot do. He is a different kind of
hero, sometimes goat. Is he part of the
team, or just a lonely soul in pursuit of
the perfect kick? Yes and no. He is like
the virtuoso standing before the
orchestra—they are one, and yet sepa­
rate. And if he must supply the comic
relief at his own expense, so be it. Just
let him kick.
"Look at that guy,” a bystander said
one day, at an Eastern school. Practice
had ended and the field was empty, ex­
cept for the kicker, who stayed to prac­
tice his art. He was before his altar, the
goal posts—but no holder, no ball.
Nothing but kick, kick, kick, through
thin air.
"What’s wrong with that?” the other
guy said. "He’s just practicing his
swing.”
"Yeah,” the first guy said. "And watch­
ing the ball go through.”

Vanderbilt's McGugin dean of coaching 'characters'
In competitive athletics, tension is the No. 1
enemy of top performance. This is espe­
cially true in football. Through the years
many coaches blessed with a feel for humor
have used just that to relax their players.
One of the earliest practitioners of this art
was the late Dan McGugin. Beginning in
1904, he developed Vanderbilt teams that
reigned supreme in the South and won some
glorious intersectional victories.
Fresh from the University of Michigan
law school, a head coach at 24 after playing
on the Wolverines' 1901 Rose Bowl team,
McGugin was hearty, convivial, with big,
kindly Irish eyes of blue and an infinite deal
of wit. Stressing that his players should take
advantage of opportunities that came along,
he would illustrate by telling each new
group of freshmen about a bumblebee that
was floating around in clover blossoms
when an old bull gobbled him up. "I will
sting this bull and teach him a lesson," Dan
would quote the bee as saying. "But then the
bee decided it was so cozy and warm inside
the bull that he would take a nap and sting
the bull when he woke up. And you know,
when the bee woke up, the bull was gone."
When McGugin thought his ball carriers

were hogging the limelight, he might call the
varsity 11 together for a vote on the ques­
tion: Which is more valuable to the team, the
line or the backfield? Usually the line would
win, seven votes to four.
Before the 1922 game with Michigan
which dedicated Vanderbilt's new stadium,
the first built in the South, McGugin gath­
ered his players in the dressing room and
sent them on the field with these words:
"You are going against Yankees, some of
whose grandfathers tried to kill your grand­
fathers in the Civil War." Underdog Van­
derbilt fought to a scoreless tie. The players
didn't know—or didn't care—that McGugin's
own father had been an officer in the Union
army.
No joke at all were McGugin's weak
kidneys during a game. Often players
stretched a blanket to shield him from crowd
view as he relieved himself. He drank lots of
water during a game, and in his later years
sat in a big canvas-bottom chair on the
sidelines that had a built-in pottie.
McGugin might be standing on a street
corner, holding a cane or folded umbrella,
waiting for a traffic light to change, and
suddenly smack a strange lady across the

fanny with it. Before she could turn around,
he would have it in the hands of a stunneci
companion and be berating him for his '
freshness and ill manners.
One of coach Dan's favorite gags was to
arrange a golf game between friends of his
who were strangers to each other, and tell
each one separately that the other was hard
of hearing.
A practicing attorney who coached foot­
ball only in the fall, McGugin used sly
methods of stimulating players to super-ef­
fort. The night before a game against Geor­
gia Tech in Atlanta in 1930, he walked up to
Pete Gracey, later to become an all-America
center, put his arm around him and said: "1
was with some Atlanta newspapermen this
afternoon and 1 told them you were the
finest sophomore center I've ever coached. I
hope I haven't made it embarrassing for
you." Vanderbilt beat Tech, 6-0. Afterward
Gracey talked to seven teammates and
found out that McGugin had told each of
them the same thing.
McGugin's relationship with his college
coach, unforgettable Fielding Yost, was
unique. When Dan married a Nashville girl,
Virginia Fite, in 1905, Yost was his best man
and there met Virginia's sister, Eunice, who
became Mrs. Yost. Before his retirement in
1927, straight-thinking, intense "Hurry Up"
Ypst used to rush to Nashville at the end of
Michigan's football season to see Vanderbilt
wind up against Sewanee on Thanksgiving
Day. Then he and McGugin would go to the
American Football Coaches Association
convention.
One year Yost was to deliver the conven­
tion's principal address; and on the long
train ride, this time to New York City, he
insisted on rehearsing the speech as McGu­
gin listened—so often that McGugin knew it
by heart. As the coaches' meeting opened, a
discussion arose on the floor and the chair­
man asked McGugin to come to the rostrum
and make some remarks on the subject.
McGugin responded by giving Yost's speech
in its entirety. It strained their friendship.
On another occasion, McGugin and Yost
were with friends on a duck hunt in Arkan­
sas. Yost was an avid historian, and was said
to have been the first man in America to
declare Doc Cook, once heralded as the
discoverer of the North Pole, was a fraud.
Y('st was a champion of the true discoverer,
Cc'mmodore Peary. McGugin set it up that
the duck hunters at dinner should start a
discussion about Cook and Peary. After
informal debate, it was suggested that a
ballot be taken to determine how the indi­
viduals stood on the matter. They voted,
with the result 16 to 3 in favor of Peary as the
genuine discoverer. As expected, Yost
leaped to the floor angrily and orated for 25
minutes for the purpose of convincing the
negative three. When he finished, McGugin
suggested they vote again. This time Cook
won, 18 to 1.
Until his death in 1936, at age 56, Dan
McGugin practiced what he preached—that
laughter lubricated the human spirit.

THE FIRST CHEVY OF THE ’80s. CRATION.
OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL NEW CAR EVER.
Ever since its introduction,
people have been flooding Chevy
shoAvrooms across the country to
see the 1980 Chevy Citation. And
according to Retail Delivery
Reports, 33,765 units were sold
in its first three weeks, more than
any new entry Chevrolet has ever
introduced.
MID-SIZE ROOM FOR 5.

Citation’s engine is
mounted sideways, so the
passenger compartment can be
bigger. In fact, in EPA interior
dimensions. Citation is classified
as a mid-size car. With the back
seat folded down there’s room
enough for two adults in front
and 30 bags of groceries in back.
OTO 501N 9 SECONDS PLAT
WITH THE AVAILABLE V6.

In engineering tests.
Citation goes from 0 to 50 in 9
seconds flat. That’s with available
2.8 Liter V6 engine and automatic
transmission. California figures
not available. (Citation is
equipped with GM-built engines
produced by various divisions.
See your dealer for details.)

GM

_
EAST ON GAS.
^ EPA ESTIMATED MPG.
38 HIGHWAY ESTIMATE.

That’s with Citation’s
standard 2.5 Liter 4-cylinder
engine and manual
transmission. (Manual
transmission currently not
available in California. Calif,
estimates lower.)
Citation’s standard 4-speed
transmission is made to conserve
gas. It’s an overdrive. And at
cruising speeds the 4th gear lets
the engine run slower than with a
conventional transmission,
helping to get impressive fuel
economy.
IMPRESSIVE LONG-RANGE
CRUISING ESTIMATES, TOO.

And Citation’s long-range
cruising estimates are just as
Impressive. I336lmiles based on
EPA estimated MPG (city) mileage
figures, and 532 miles based on
estimated highway MPG. Range
figures obtained by multiplying
Citation’s 14-gallon fuel tank
capacity rating by the EPA
mileage estimates.
REMEMBER: Compare the
circled estimated MPG to the
estimated MPG of other cars. You
may get different mileage and
range depending on your speed,
trip length and weather. Your
actual city mileage and range will
be less in heavy city traffic. Your
actual mileage will probably be
the

YOU’VE GOT TO DRIVE IT TO
BELIEVE IT.

When you drive Citation
you’ll see what all the excitement
is about. The way it feels. The way
it maneuvers. The way it rides.
And Citation’s front wheel drive
puts approximately 65% of its
weight over the “driving wheels”
to give you impressive traction on
wet or snowy roads.
IT’S A WHOLE NEW KIND OF
COMPACT CAR.

There’s still a lot about
Citation that we haven’t
mentioned. Like slip stream
design to cut down on wind
resistance and wind noise. The
hidden cargo area in all
hatchback models, so what’s
inside is protected from view. A
dual diagonal braking system.
And much, much more. That’s
why we encourage you to see your
Chevy dealer and test drive the
1980 Chevy Citation today. This
could be the car you’ve had in
mind.

The weekly polls: who’s No. 1?
by FRANK BOGGS, Colorado Springs Sun

Historians, who are paid living wages to keep tabs on
history, apparently have misplaced the important slip
of paper that documented when the “We’re No. 1” fad
began.
Some say it was when the Lions were scoring a
succession of shutouts over the Christians and fans of
the former would thrust their paws into the air and roar
the claim their guys were national champs.
But most historians agree it all started on November
6, 1869, when the Rutgers twenty-five (because there
were 25, not 11, players per side then) defeated the
Princeton twenty-five, six goals to four.

Home field advantage
Teams that season held a rather distinct home field
advantage, however. The game at Rutgers was played
by Rutgers’ rules. The next game was played at Prince­
ton using the Princeton rules. Princeton won.
Again, this is an example where historians have let us
down. But it must be presumed that those teams tied
for the national collegiate championship that year,
each with one vote in parentheses.
Detractors of our college football polls say the mess
never has been adequately straightened out. “It is OK
to elect a President at the polls,” many believe, “but for
something as important as picking the nation’s football
champion, this is a mighty sorry way to do business.”
Since many of the land’s leading educators prefer not
to extend the season to Easter, though, champions still
are determined by ballot, rather than by long fourthquarter touchdown drives.

that’s when it was.
It is known that in 1924 a man named Frank G.
Dickinson, an associate professor of economics at the
University of Illinois, began rating college football
teams. Not too far away (in Chicago), a man named
Jack F. Rissman had an idea. He would buy a trophy for
whatever team Dickinson said should have it.
It was called the Jack F. Rissman Trophy.

Two arguments
Two things can be argued. One, voters are not very
imaginative in that they have trouble thinking of new
teams; or, some teams simply are a lot better, year in
and year out.
As proof (sort of): the Associated Press poll was
originated in 1936 and of the 41 national championships
awarded, only 18 schools have been chosen. Notre
Dame with seven, Oklahoma with five and Minnesota
with four head the list.
These champions are picked by writers and broad­
casters, most of whom get their autumn exercise trying
to be first on the press box elevator.
It was in 1950 that United Press International
decided to enter the poll business and asked a panel of
football coaches to do the voting. They, too, can be
accused of casting few votes in behalf of Slippery Rock
State or Timbuktu U.

Dickinson’s formula

Coaches’ champs
' Of the coaches’ 28 national champs, the honor has
been passed among only 15 schools. Oklahoma and
Southern California head this list with four titles each,
while Texas and Alabama each has won three.
The question you likely would have asked before now
had you not been so busy wiping mustard off yourself is
this: “When did all this poll stuff get started, anyhoAy?”
The answer is either (a) 1924, or (b) it sure seems like
28

The first season, Notre Dame was 10-0. Based on
Dickinson’s mathematical formula, the Irish had 27.50
points. California’s rating was 25.63, but even back then
nobody gave cigars for finishing second.
This trophy was awarded through 1930. In 1931, the
national champ—which happened to be Southern Cal—
was presented the Knute Rockne Trophy. Notre Dame
had retired the Rissman trophy in 1930 and the Rockne
trophy was retired by Michigan in 1940. By that time,
the Associated Press poll was in operation.
One of the first men in the nation to work as a college
sports publicist was Harold Keith at the University of
Oklahoma in the 1930s. He retired several years ago,
but not before he watched many football games and
saw many football crowds.
“I sure get tired of hearing that,” he says of the ‘We’re
No. 1’ bit. “I got tired of that 40 years ago. I don’t know
if the Irish yelled that in 1924 or not.”
Probably. After all, Dickinson said they were.

The American Eagle Radial.
Why it belongs on America’s finest cars.
The Goodyear American
Eagle Radial tire is as revolu­
tionary today as our first
rayon cord tire was in 1938
and our Polyglas in 1967
and the Polysteel Radial when
introduced in 1974.
What makes the American
Eagle Radial the tire for today

is belts of Flexten cord. It is
made from a flexible, man-made
aramid fiber that is, pound for
pound, stronger than steel.
Flexten cord —a step ahead of
steel —makes the American
Eagle Radial tough and strong.
Yet, the American Eagle is gratifyingly smooth riding, too.

Comfort, control and
confidence are the qualities
of the American Eagle Radial...
the unique luxury tire designed
by Goodyear for the American
driver and the American road.
We invite you to inspect and to
enjoy American ingenuity...
from Goodyear.

K he raccoon coat may have been hung up in the
closet with the button down shirt, but the zest
■
for college football had not waned as the '70s
s^J
began.

And, then, as Greeks and girls once again be­
came important things, the college game picked up steam.
A nation got up to watch season-ending thrillers on
Thanksgiving morning.
The 1970s saw freshmen become eligible to play on the
varsity again for the first time since after World War II, it saw
restrictions on scholarships and the size of coaching staffs, it
saw rules implemented to save knees and the athletic fu­
tures of young men, and it saw the advent of the veer and
the wishbone.
It also saw the departure and return of two of its most
successful coaches. Just like the millions of fans and alums
everywhere, they couldn’t stay away from college football.
Tn the 1970s there has been a greater emphasis on the
skilled players in college football,” said one well-respected
coach. "The early '70s were marked by the veer at Houston
and then the wishbone at Texas. Now, as the '70s are on

their way out, the trend is toward the passing game and a
mobile quarterback.
“It's a wonderful game, one that will always he changing.
With over 600 schools, somebody is always coming up with
something new.”
The freshness, the kids, the cheerleaders, the bands, what­
ever it is, people like it.
It is truly remarkable that the college game—the same
game played by Red Grange and Ernie Nevers and Johnny
Lujack—is now seen by more peoj)le on television and in
the stadiums across the land as well than at any time in its
history.
Colleges saw 34 million people attend games played in
1978 and the American Broadcasting Company pay $30 mil­
lion a year for the television rights to do games of all levels.
All records.
And although the football giants dominated the 1970s as
they did the 1960s before that, the game has moved away
from an elitism, rather than towards it.
Instead, legislation worked toward parity of its members
and television contracts of the late 1970s began to ensure
television for Division I-AA, Division II and Division III as
well as Division I.
In 1977, ABC televised 13 national games as it had done
through most of the 1970s, but in 1978 it covered 45 regional

TO THE

|ust the beginning of the excitement. Phoenix for 1980
has been dramatically redesigned from the ground up.
Choose from the rakish new five-passenger Phoenix
Coupe and the sporty and versatile Phoenix Hatchback.
You get an exciting new chapter of Pontiac driving
fun. With front-wheel drive. Rack and pinion steering.
And AAacPherson strut front suspension.
Another exciting thought. You get even more stan­
dard features than on our well-equipped 79 Phoenix.
Such new standards as radial tuned suspension, integral
body-color bumpers, column-mounted dimmer washer
switch, dome lamp switches on all the doors, load floor
Hatchback carpeting and much more.
That’s more Pontiac.
So don't let the excitement pass you by. Buy or lease
the all new Phoenix Coupe and Hatchback at your
Pontiac dealer s. It s going to be quite a year.

produced by
various divisions.

games. Clearly, the game was to be seen
by more people and from more loca­
tions.
If you wonder that the college game
really is that popular, and if it can com­
pete in homes across the land against
the NBA, the NFL, the NHL, the NASL,
major league baseball. Soap, and
Laverne and Shirley, then look to the
commercial market and what the going
rate is for television rights.
In 1976, following the 1975 season and
the best ratings the colleges have ever
had, ABC signed a contract to pay $18
million a year on a two-year contract to
do college football.
People were impressed. Then, two

lion watched in 1970, 8.7 in 1971, 8.6 in
1972, 8.0 in 1973, 8.2 in 1974, 9.2 in 1975,
and a record 10.0 in 1976. Recent ratings
indicated that 9.6 watched in 1977 and
8.9 in 1978. In the decade of the ’70s,
ABC went from doing ten national
games and 26 regionals in 1969 to 13 na­
tionals and 45 regionals in 1979.
As far as people turning out on brisk
Saturdays to sit in the stadiums, the
numbers are astounding.
In fact, helped by a grass roots surge
in Divisions II and III, college football
attendance in 1978 enjoyed its second
largest increase in history—1,346,428
spectators for an all-time national high
of 34,251,606 spectators.

eastern. Big Eight, Pacific-10, Southwest,
Atlantic Coast Conference, and the
Western Athletic Conference—were up
1,761 per game in 1978, their biggest in­
crease ever to an all-time high of 48,215
for each game.
And for the first time since 1970-71,
both the top seven conferences and all
other teams in the country went up to­
gether two straight years.
Which was significant. Every year
previously back to 1967, the indepen­
dents were up in the odd-numbered
years and down in the even-numbered
years. So it was rare and significant that

years later, ABC and the NCAA sat down
and negotiated a four-year contract to
last through 1981. It was a total package
of $118 million, or $30 million a year.
Never had college football had the
leverage to extract a four-year contract
before, or demand that the package in­
clude twice the regional games pireviously done and a season peppered with
games from the other divisions.
Obviously, ABC had something it liked
and wanted to keep.
All through the '70s its ratings stead­
ily, if not consistently, improved. In
terms of millions of viewers watching
college football on an average Saturday,
Nielsen ratings indicated that 8.3 mil-

It was the 24th increase in the last 25
seasons of college football attendance. It
climbed in 1954 over 1953 and has gone
up every year since, except for a tiny
drop in 1974. Since 1954, the third year
of the NCAA television plan, national at­
tendance has more than doubled, from
17.0 million then to'more than 34 mil­
lion now.
In 1978, NCAA Division II schools
produced the largest percentage in­
crease in per-game average at 9.48 per­
cent. Next came Division III at an in­
crease of 8.59 percent, followed by Divi­
sion lA, up 3.89 percent.
Significantly, the top seven major col­
lege conferen<;es—Big Ten, South-

small schools were also going up.
And, to boot, it came at a time when
the NCAA had doubled its regional tele­
vision package.
While it was gratifying to everyone
that average attendance was up for all
643 four-year colleges with varsity
teams, the big numbers, quite naturally
were still with the big schools.
One major college, for example, ran
its streak of 100,000-plus crowds to 22
en route to its fifth consecutive national
attendance crown and set an all-time
high for the fourth straight season. Its
average in 1978 was 104,948 for six home
games.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR-Blaine Newnham, sports editor of The Eugene (Ore.) Register-Guard since 1971, feels that relevancy is a must for sports writing. “It
must answer the questions of the fans. It must be done with style, a style encompassing accuracy, entertainment, integrity and a real care for the reader’s
needs." Newnham, a journalism major at the University of California at Berkeley, authored the book The Jogging Experience and was voted Oregon's Sports
Writer of the Year in 1974.

For a while it was presumed that the
college game would flourish only in col­
lege towns, and not in areas where the
pros played. In 1978, one Southwest
Conference school increased its home
attendance by 24,921 a game to 51,959
even though playing in the same state
with a major football power and a Super
Bowl champion.
It was winning, a wide-open passing
game and an extensive, multi-faceted
promotional campaign which produced
the increase.
In 1973, the \CAA realigned its mem­
bers with a Division II and a Division III
and then starting in 1978 went to Divi­
sion I-AA for schools nearly the size and

strength of those playing Division lA hut
looking for a different scope of competi­
tion.
At the same time the NCAA member­
ship voted to control the growth of bigtime college football, hopeful of both
keeping expenses in check and moving
toward a parity which might increase
interest and attendance at the other
schools in the league.
Coaching staffs were limited to eight
assistants and scholarships were lim­
ited to 105 and eventually to 95. Schools
were allowed to give no more than 30
scholarships in a single \ ear.
There was cost-cutting, to be sure,
but moreover there were more good
football players to be shared. A football
power might take its favorite 30, hut
there were still some very good players
to be taken by others.
There is no question that a few
schools still go to most of the howl
games. But considering the two decades
just past, only four schools ranked in
the top ten during both ten-year
periods.
If you wondered why more people all
the time are watching college football, it
might well be that the teams are more
offensive than ever before.
In 1975, college football teams were

averaging 408.9 yards per game (both
teams) as the wishbones and veers put
running backs in the open field as they
never had been before.
At the same time, passing, which
started the decade at 305.3 yards per
game in 1970, hit a bottom of 239.2 in
1975, hut then started coming back up
in 1976 to 246.9 and finally to 277.7 in
1978.
Running dropped off slightly, but in
1978 it was the best of both worlds for
the offense—rushing was at 358.2 (the
seventh highest in history) and passing
was at 277.7 (the fifth highest in his­
tory). The total was 662.9, or the highest
in history. The key? Greater efficiency of
offense, and more highly-skilled players.
In addition, 1978 saw all field-goal ac­
curacy and total field goal records
smashed. In eight years since 1970, the
percentage of accuracy of field goals
was up 25 percent.
In the 1970s the college football teams
put an average of more than 40 points
on the scoreboard (both teams com­
bined) while gaining more yardage than
ever before.
The excitement didn’t go unnoticed,
not by the fans, not by the networks.
Who says a raccoon coat can’t be in
style forever?

or years, the tight end had one responsibility—to
block a linebacker and help an offensive foray
spring loose. In recent years, however, the de­
mands of playing tight end have become greater
and greater—some think as varied as the de­
mands of the linebacker on defense.
In fact, mastery of the tight end spot requires, in
some minds, the best corhbination of skills of any
football player on the field.
As one West Coast athletic director sees it, “The
tight end has to be a pass receiver-blocker combination,
and he can expect contact on every play. Most of his
routes are to the inside, where things are at their most
violent."
Though the prototype tight end is someone who stands
well over six feet and scales well over 200 pounds, many feel

it is a player’s skill and ability to withstand the varied nature
of the position that make a successful tight end.
“He’s kind of an all-everything guy,” said a Southeastern
Conference coach of the tight end spot. "He has to do so
many things, and that means he has to block, catch passes,
and run. He probably has the ability to play a lot of positions
on the team. Some teams get along without one, especially
on the college level, but a good tight end will open the de­
fense up.”
The feeling that the tight end might be the best athlete on
the field was echoed by others. As one Big Eight assistant
put it, “The tight end has to be a good enough blocker to
make the run offense go and he has to be an adequate
receiver to make the pass a threat.”
Perhaps the oddest aspect of the tight end position is that

by David Condon, Chicago TRIBUNE

ohnny Lujack and Notre Dame’s
1946 Irish, pointed toward a na­
tional championship, opened the
season with a 26-6 triumph over an Il­
linois eleven destined to romp in the
first modern Big Ten-Pacific Coast Rose
Bowl game. Three days afterwards, the
Chicago Tribune’s Wilfrid Smith—
founding president of the Football
VWiters Association—was telling his
local lodge gathering:
'Tve watched college ball for 30 years.
This postwar era will be the most excit­
ing we’ve ever known. Army still is king
in the East. With players like Alex and
Lou Agase, Perry Moss, Mac Wenskunas,
and Buddy Young, the Illini will be
tough.
"But Notre Dame and Michigan each
might go three years without a loss be­
cause they don’t meet. And Notre Dame
has the greatest all-around college
player we’ve ever seen.
. "He’s Johnny Lujack. You remember
him from ’43. In the next two years
Lujack could make us fj^rget every other
back we’ve seen. He does it all. Su­
perbly.’’
Ed "Moose’’ Krause, an assistant to
Frank Leahy at Notre Dame, nodded
agreement.
"Smitty’s right,” said Krause. "Lujack’s
the greatest all-around Notre Dame
back ever. Coach Leahy thinks he’s the
Four Horsemen rolled into one.”
Lujack was to direct the team to 17
victories and a scoreless tie in the next
two seasons. Smith had written in that
mornings paper:
"Lujack is the irreplaceable man in
the Irish attack. He is one of the best
forward passers in collegiate football, a
dependable and accurate punter, and
his knowledge of the T formation gives
his mates confidence in his judgment.”
Now Smith was telling the writers: "I
did Lujack an injustice emphasizing his
offensive talent and the out-of-bounds
punting that kept those Illini backs at
bay. There was one defensive play that
proved Lujack’s supreme value.”
The Illini had possession on their 33.
Buddy Young, a sprinter who left no

with the ball, zoomed by Jack Zilly the

were blocked out.

What it means to be a breed apart.

Imagination, instinct, and ver­

MerriU Lynch apart from the
rest of the herd.

Too many people see only the
size of Merrill Lynch; they miss the
subtler qualities that truly make us a

timing...of knowing when to walk
out of the market and let the price
sink, when to buy aggressively.

its responsibilities change from team to
team. In general, most other positions
make the same demands from team to
team—the running backs run, the wide
receivers go out for passes, the linemen
block or tackle. But depending on his
team — or even on particular game
situations—the tight end may be asked
to do any and all of these things (with
the possible exception of tackle) during
the course of a single afternoon.
And even if the tight end does no
tackling himself, he must have a betterthan-average knack for breaking the
tackles of a defensive man in order to
do his own job. “The tight end usually
has to be strong enough to get past the
linebacker on his side,” says an East
Coast coach, “even a linebacker that
outweighs him by 30 to 40 pounds. That
is, if the offense is going to have the
kind of variety you want. Often, a block
or a break of a tackle by the tight end is
the key to making a particular play
work, whether it’s a run or pass. Very
often, the tight end is the guy you’re
disguising the whole play around. And
if the tight end is a legitirtiate threat to
receive the ball on the play—whether
you actually throw to him or not—the
defense has to consider him in its plan­
ning.
“This means,” concludes the coach,
“that a tight end in many cases has to
be the best athlete on the field. And if
you’ve got a real good one, well, you’ve
got something.”
The position of tight end has changed
over the years. Not too long ago, a
slower man would be assigned to the
spot. He would be expected to block
and to keep the defense away from the .
running backs.
Today, teams need a tight end who
can catch the ball, at least a little. While
he need not be a gazelle, the tight end
should know something about how to
run a pass route, how to cut—all the
things a receiver has to do. In earlier
years, the tight end was seen as a pri­
mary receiver only in desperate situa­
tions. Today a lot of passing plays are
geared expressly for the tight end—
when he is the type of player who has
pass-catching abilities. And you can bet
that everyone is looking for that type of
player.
Intelligence is also viewed as a chief
requisite of the tight end, and one with
real “smarts” is that much more valu­
able. A Midwest assistant coach gives
this example: “An audible means most
players shift blocking assignments, but
the tight end must quickly shift from a
pass pattern to a blocking assignment.
This type of adjustment takes a lot of
concentration plus an unusual amount
of talent. Because he must make these
types of adjustments and still carry out
38t

dent. “One thing the tight end is almost
guaranteed is physical contact on every
play,” he says. “And that tends to limit
the number of guys who really enjoy
the position. Not only does he have to
be a big, strong kid, but he really has to
enjoy that shot on every play, even the
ones in which he doesn’t even figure. It
comes with the territory, that shot in
the side, that punishing block, all of
that, and a lot of kids have had trouble
staying with it, even when they had
what it took physically.
“Tight end isn’t for everybody,” he
concludes.
And not everybody agrees on the
overall worth of the tight end. A coach
in the Western Athletic Conference says,
“I don’t think the tight end is the finest
player on the field. On offense, I think
the quarterback and running backs are
better players. On defense, I think the
linebackers are better. Certainly the
tight end has to be a cut above the aver­
age kid. But I think at tight end you can
get by with a competitor who can run
and catch the football. In college foot­
ball, the tight end is a combination
tackle and wide receiver. He’s probably
not the best tackle on the team, nor the
best wide receiver. There are excep­
tions, of course. You might find a few
who are complete players, but more
often than not they are in-between
players.”

THEBALANCED
ATTACK GIVES
ATEAM
ADECIDEDEDGE
by Mai Florence, Los Angeles TIMES

/'

Some

schools renowned for their
taUback-oriented
offense
won
Some big games last season—by
passing.

Other schools, highly ranked in the
wire service poll at the end of the sea­
son, have been eminently successful
with a wishbone-style attack geared to
the running game. But they operate
from other formations and are not re­
luctant to pass.
Traditional advocates of power foot­
ball and the running game are incorpo­
rating more passes into their offense.
There is a trend, many college
coaches say, to a balanced offensive ap­
proach. This doesn’t mean a 50-50 ration between the run and
pass but the ability to be flexible.
"Defenses have become so sophisticated now that they can
focus on any particular offensive phase of the game and take
it away from you,” says a prominent West Coast coach. “So an
offense must be balanced. By balance I mean two things—to
attack effectively someone who is, say, overplaying the run and
to complete enough passes for consistent gains—not neces­
sarily long passes—but a high percentage of completions."
Balance, the West Coast coach continued, isn’t just an im­
mediate reaction to a defensive scheme but must be part of
your overall offensive philosophy.
“You just can’t run the ball for seven games and then be put
in a position where you have to pass and be able to do it,” he
says. “You can go down some roads you can’t come back from.
Nor can you win four games by passing 40 times and then all
of a sudden be expected to run 50 times in a game in order to
win. It can’t be done.”

A popular Southeastern coach has run the gamut on offense
from a conservative wishbone (with three or four passes a
game) to a multiple or pro-styled attack.
Why has he converted to a more balanced brand of football?
“Most teams are lining up in an eight-man defensive front
now instead of seven,” he says,"and it’s difficult to run against
the eight-man front but easier to
pass on it. Because of this I
think there is a trend away from
pure option football.”
Yet, this Southeastern coach
was once identified with the
coaching fraternity that believed
that three things can happen
when you pass—and two of
them are bad (incompletions, in­
terceptions).
“Most people assume that a
passing game is a high risk of­
fense,” he says. “It is only if you
have an unreliable quarterback.
The risk diminishes in propor­
tion to the intelligence of the
quarterback.
“A so-called pro-type offense
has a different connotation to

me than other people. To me it means
we won’t run any option. That’s all.
"It’s much easier to run the option
against a seven-man front and harder to
throw against it. It’s the opposite with
an eight-man front and it’s difficult to
find a quarterback who is both a good
option runner and a good passer.’’
The West Coast coach says that if a
quarterback is involved in the option
game, he can’t develop as a passer.
"In the pure option the quarterback
is involved in every running play,’’ he
says. "But, if you’re not running the op­
tion, the quarterback’s presence isn’t
required as much when you’re practic­
ing the running game. So he has more
times to improve his skills as a passer.”
But balance isn’t for every team.
There are notable exceptions.
"A powerhouse that is so overwhelm­
ingly effective with its power-running
triple option can go against the per­
centages (defenses stacked against the
run) and still be successful,” the West
Coast coach says. "There are exceptions
to every rule and this case is an excep­
tion.”
There is another side to the offensive
spectrum. While some teams slug it out
on the ground, others rely on passing
for the main thrust of their offense.

A strong running back plays a key role in
a successful offense.

Unusual? Maybe. But establishing the
passing game first has been tremen­
dously effective at schools with a strong
throwing heritage.
"Certain teams seek balance but
from a different angle,” a Midwest
coach says. "They don’t throw just to be
throwing but as a means of controlling
the ball—and they do it very well.
Then, they’ll run at you when you’re
over-playing the pass. But there is al­
ways the constant threat of the pass.”

So the team achieves balance in its
own way.
How does a team defend against a
balanced attack—one that has a fine
runner and an accurate passer?
"A defense can be a containing one,”
says the Midwestern coach. "It can try
to out-flank the offense, especially if it is
concerned about the passing game. De­
fenses try to take advantage of the field
and which hash mark the offense is
operating from.
"Or, the defense can be a gambling
one—such as blitzes and constantly
changing up. The danger is that in
changing up you’ll be in a defense on
occasions that is suited to be exploited
by the offense.”
It’s doubtful that the pass-minded of­
fense is the forerunner of a collegiate
trend. Nor can many teams emulate a
devastating wishbone running game.
These are offensive philosophies that
have been ingrained at certain schools
for many years and can’t be copied on
an experimental basis.
But college defenses, more intricate
and sound than they were even 10 years
ago, are now dictating to offenses.
And the offense is getting the cuemore balance—run and pass—to keep
the defense off balance.

Lujack made his debut as a starter
against Army in 1943. The ’43 Irish had
won six straight when Angelo Bertelli,
ND’s first Heisman trophy winner, left
for the Marines. The waiting Lujack
filled Bertelli’s shoes. His real shoes,

Lujack’s own footwear was missing

Lujack’s final college game saw him
direct the East to a 49-9 victory in the
San Francisco Shrine game. He inter­
cepted at the goal, he returned punts
for 21 and 24 yards, he passed for
touchdowns to Bill Swiacki (Columbia)

up to hold Buddy to a 4 yard gain. It’d
have been a sure Illinois touchdown ex­
cept for Lujack.”
An incident of more lasting memory
occurred later. Army’s 1946 Black
Knights, unbeaten in three seasons,
were meeting the Fighting Irish. This
was to be the college battle of all time.
After more than three decades, perhaps
it still is. In pre-game analysis, experts
gave Army the edge one day, Notre
Dame the next day. But at Notre Dame’s
last scrimmage before departure for
New York, Lujack injured his right ankle.
Get George Ratterman ready to quarter­

Lujack did play, in command of such
Irish immortals as George Connor, Terry
Brennan, and Emil "Six Yards’’ Sitko.
Army had Felix “Doc ” Blanchard, Glenn
Davis, Arnold TVicker, and enough
troops to have invaded Europe again.
That 1946 Army-Notre Dame game
ended 0-0. It was summit meeting of the
titans. Like a no-knockdown, 15-round
draw between Rocky Marciano and
Muhammad Ali. Subsequently a New
York Times sports writer observed:
“Only one thrust had a chance of
breaking the tingling deadlock. The
mighty Doc Blanchard broke into the
clear, touchdown bound. Then Lujack
came whirling from nowhere to hop
down the practically unstoppable Doc.’’
Lujack still is asked about that play by
callers at his automobile agency in

College football preserves delights of life
College football has been described as “the
element of American life most characteristic
of our nationality." Every season reinforces
the validity of this distinction.
The game appeals to our emotions like
few, if any, other forms of athletic competi­
tion. Spectators at college games, setting
new overall attendance records every year,
revel in exercising the deep-rooted passions
of joy, courage, sympathy, sorrow, rivalry,
risk, sense of fairness and loyalty.
College football crowds aren't there just to
admire the skill of a passer or the cleverness
of a runner or the accuracy of a place kicker
or punter. They are there wanting to see
their team win. Thrilling touchdown plays
are fine, like getting the end piece of the cake
with the thick icing. But the overwhelming
majority of college game-goers would rather
see their team win, even if it's 2-0 in a
dogged defensive struggle, than to have
witnessed a dozen exciting scoring plays
during a game which their team loses.
Can you think of a more hollow attraction
than an exhibition contest between two col­
lege football squads?
The feel of the crowd is a standard fixture
at college games. From September through
November there are just 11 such occasions,
full of color and flavor, for the release of our
competitive impulses. And so often in col­
lege football, the anticipation is exceeded by
the realization.
Most of the college players on the field are
whairlnving and slamming for the sheer joy
of proving themselves to themselves. Ernest
Thompson Seton once said: "Manhood is
the first law of education." Of course foot­
ball is just one of many opportunities avail­
able in the quest for manhood; but the

competitive flame in the clash of spirited,
cohesive forces is the rouser that attracts
throngs to America's college stadiums.
Imperfection itself, among young athletes
of 18 to 22, is part of college football's crowd
appeal. Nothing in sports can be duller than
perfection. The human experience of errors
in action provides one of the world's liveliest
shows. Somehow, the happiness reaped by
players in the arena who withstand and
overcome these mistakes often spills over
into the crowd.
Many spectators are embraced by the
camaraderie of college football. It can be felt
by anybody. It was responsible for the
following bit of nonsense:
A jovial fellow sitting 'way up in Row 65
got to his feet time and again and yelled,
"Hey! Gus! Look here, Gus!" Whereupon
down in Row 20 a man would rise, look up
and wave. This friendly exchange went on
interminably, until finally the man down in
Row 20 shouted back to the greeter in Row
65 and advised him to stay in his seat and
watch the game. "And besides," he finished,
"my name's not Gus."
In the college football atmosphere are
preserved some of the delights that go with
life. "We have plenty of grim things facing
us," said Harlan Hatcher, University of
Michigan president emeritus. "We need the
relief we find in sports. It's not only neces­
sary to survive, but to live with some positive
sense of joy and fulfillment."
My own belief is that happiness is found
most readily in sport, and more predict­
ably—by plan—than in almost anything one
does. 1 once heard a very learned person say:
"Man's greatest moment of happiness is to
be tested beyond what he thought might be
his breaking point, and not fail."

Effort in football, and in most all competi­
tive sports, is a matter of character, rather
than reward. It is an end in itself and not a
means to an end. That's why, in defeat, one
can rest on his character and keep a stout
heart.
1 make the claim that sport offers the
highest-grade happiness to man and woman
on the most convenient terms available any­
where. The field of sport is a place where
people can succeed—beyond their success
anywhere else —in behaving themselves
while having fun. And where else do we
always give everybody an even start?
Sport is quick to outlaw any piece of
unfairness that can be covered or controlled
by a rule. But there is more than mere
observance of the letter of the law. There is
sportsmanship; that is, obedience to the
unenforceable.
The late Bob Zuppke, head coach at the
University of Illinois for 29 years, once said:
"The difference between champions and
near-champions is the ability to play for
something outside of self; in one word,
teamwork." That includes curbing any indi­
vidual action that would bring team penalty.

A sprightly, colorful character, Zuppke
left a trail of philosophical utterances, in­
cluding: "There is art in football. No man
can be a truly fine athlete unless he has
music in his soul. Without rhythm there is
no art, no spontaneity. A good team is art. It
is as graceful as a group of dancers. A few
people think football is a brutal game. But
brutes can't play it."
Two of Zuppke's best-remembered lines
are: "Men do their best when they know
they are being observed." And: "Never let
hope elude you. That's life's biggest fum­
ble."
