TODAY’S
GAME:

Scots
Still Seek
First Over
Marauders

Edinboro State will get a strong testing
this afternoon when the powerful Millersville Marauders invade Sox Harrison Sta­
dium. The Fighting Scots, who surprised
Westminster, 24-0, in their season opener
last Saturday, will be battling for their first
win ever against Millersville.
The Marauders were 8-1 in regular
season play last year before being nipped,
21-14, by Wittenberg University in the
NCAA Division III national playoffs. Miller­
sville finished as the top offensive team in
the Pennsylvania Conference’s Eastern
Division by tatooing the scoreboard at a
30.1 points-per-game pace and also took
defensive honors by yielding only 8.3
points per clash.
Millersville averaged 214.7 yards per
game on the ground last fall and 176.4
through the air to also lead the Pennsyl­
vania Conference in total offense with
391.1 yards per outing. Defensively, the
Marauders limited their opponents to just

85.2 yards on the ground and 103.8 yards
in passing to snare the league’s defensive
honors in both categories, as well as in
total defense.

rauders after a stellar performance last
week that stopped Westminster cold. The
Titans totaled minus 9 yards at halftime
and finished with a net of 16, 10 yards
rushing and 6 yards passing, for the entire
game.
Leading the defensive line charge were
tackles Jim Collins (6-5, 230) and Ron
Link (6-3, 235) who sandwich middle
guard Barry Swanson (6-1, 220). Collins
shared the game’s tackling honors with
linebacker Bob Cicerchi, as the pair to­
taled 11 stops apiece for the afternoon.
End Chris McCleary (6-1, 200) followed
with nine stops, Ron Link added eight,
while defensive backs Dan Allie and Nick
Sobecki chipped in six each.

Edinboro has come away emptyhanded against the cross-state power in a
three-game series which began in 1977.
Since then, the Marauders have registered
consecutive 24-12, 22-20 and 17-6 wins
over the Scots.
An ESC defense that allowed only 10
yards on the ground against Westminster
will be challenged by the conference’s
best running back, Robb Riddick, and a
giant-sized offensive line that averages
235 pounds. Riddick, a 5-11, 198-pound
senior, averaged an impressive 6.7 yards
per carry every time he touched the foot­
ball. On the year, he churned up 690 yards
of turf in 107 attempts.
Taking the place of last year’s record­
setting quarterback, Jamie Szczecinski, is
junior Brad Nau who has talented tight
end Dave Havriliak (6-1, 215) and flanker
John Cosenza to toss to. Placekicker Mark
Zeswitz is also on hand to give the
Marauders additional offensive punch.
Headlining the Millersville defense is a
veteran secondary with tackle Aril Smith
(6-3, 242) and all-conference linebacker
Chris Ciatto (6-0, 213).
Millersville opened the 1980 season
with a 14-14 tie against New York Tech.
The Marauders were deprived of a victory
when a last-minute Zeswitz field goal at­
tempt hit the goal post and bounced off to
the right.
In the meantime, Edinboro was busy at
Erie Stadium, shutting out Westminster to
record back-to-back victories over the
Titans. The Scots scored their first win in
history over Westminster by notching a
15-14 verdict in last year’s season finale.
Edinboro’s defense will be seeking an­
other passing grade against the Ma-

Edinboro’s offense shifted into high
gear early in the clash when the Scots
drove 53 yards the first time they got the
football and capped it with Mike Ray’s
five-yard scamper to the end zone. The
touchdown was the first of three Ray
scored for the afternoon, while halfback
Joe Early was busy setting up the tallies
between the goal lines. The speedy senior
netted 112 yards on 13 cracks at the line,
his longest run being a 60-yard jaunt that
put the Scots in position for their second
score.
Kicking specialist Rick Ruszkiewicz
split the uprights squarely after all three
scores and added to his point total by
booting a 39-yard field goal.
Scheduled to be honored during to­
day’s game are players from Edinboro
State’s 1970 team which was the best in
Fighting Scot football history. The 1970
squad captured the Lambert Bowl, em­
blematic of the best small college football
team in the east, won the Pennsylvania
Conference championship, and earned a
berth in the NAIA national playoffs. That
edition also had the distinction of estab­
lishing 43 new individual and team re­
cords.

assers and running backs sell tickets" college footI
A ball professors have lectured for years, "but you win
L—/ with defense and the kicking game."
And in today’s grid w£irs, pitting highly-skilled,
__
specialized squads of athletes, the kickers' role has
been emphasized like never before. Check the Top TVventy,
week in and week out, and you'll invariably discover teams that
have both a solid punter and an accurate placekicker.
It wasn't so long ago that coaches merely asked their players
for a show of hands as to who could kick. Now, many are as
highly recruited as a classy quarterback or a man-eating
linebacker.
The complicated situation at Arkansas probably reveals how
kickers' lives can change. When Steve Cox was graduating from
Charleston lArk.) High, he wanted to go to the state university,
but the greatest hooter in Razorback history, Steve Little, stUl
had two years left. So Cox enrolled at Tulsa, and as a frosh, he
booted three field goals to upset the Hogs, 9-3.
After his sophomore season, Cox transferred to Arkansas, but
meanwhile, the Arkansas coach had found a great little side­
saddle artist on the West Coast in Ish Ordonez. So he wooed the
5-7,155-pounder to "The Ark," and while Cox was establishing a
year of residence, Ish proceeded to lead all the field goal kickers
in the nation by clicking on 18 of 22, setting an NCAA record of
continued

16 in a row. The intriguing thing is that if
Cox had gone directly to Arkansas from
high school, Ordonez probably would
have wound up at USC, which had been
courting the Mexico City native for some
time. And a year ago, when Cox was sit­
ting out, he perfected his punting tech­
nique to form the greatest one-two kick­
ing punch in the land, winding up sixth
in punting on the NCAA list.
The plot thickened during the off­
season when there were plans to redshirt
Ordonez in ’80 to save a 3/ear of eligibility,
and have Cox double up. However, during
the spring drills, Lil’ Ish, who paced the
Southwest Conference in scoring (a feat
that escaped such celebrity hooters as
Little, Tony Franklin and Russ Erxleben)
outperformed Cox with his more accu­
rate placement work. So Holtz will hitch
up the tandem again this fall to haunt his
rivals.
Firing not one, but two kicking special­
ists at the opposition is the rule these
days rather than the exception. Punters
use a different rhythm and foot action
than placekickers, expecially if the latter
is a soccer stylist. Thus, for most kickers,
going back and forth can make for incon­
sistent kicking.
There still is a small group, however,
that can handle both chores, and this fall
they're led by compact Don Stump of
McNeese State, the only kicker to make
both top listings last year. Stump, with a
42-yard punting average, ranked 16th on
the punting lists, and with 15 out of 21
fielders, was tied for fifth in three-point
accuracy. Stump boots 'em conventional
style and that helps.
Other punter-placekickers who pre­
sent exceptional credentials are Boston
College’s John Cooper, a left-footer
with a 40.5 average, plus solid FG work;
Hawaii’s Jim Asmus, whose exceptional
hang time on punts permitted returns of
only 2.8 yards per kick, and who also
placekicks ’em side-saddle; Iowa’s Reggie
Roy, who has booted 61-yard punts;
Mississippi State’s Dana Moore, the
squad qomedian, who also gives the
Bulldogs a big lift with his versatile toe;
Lamar’s Mike Marlow, who authored a
53-yard FG, and had only 18 of 65 punts
last fall returned; and Ball State’s Mark
O’Connell, who not only placekicks and
punts, but also quarterbacks, completing
10 of 16 passes for 165 yards in his first
start against Bowling Green.
All kickers are not recruited; some of
the better ones "walk-on," like Maryland’s
Dale Castro and Texas’ John Goodman,
the pair who tied for runner-up honors
last autumn behind Ordonez.
Castro, a conventional-style hooter,
came to Maryland hoping he could win a
scholarship as a baseball pitcher, but
when he came down with mononucleosis
in his freshman year, he began watching

footbcdl practice. He had booted at his
high school in Maryland, eind after ob­
serving the Terps work out, he decided he
could do as well as any of their kickers. He
was right, hitting 17 of 21 three-pointers,
including seven of 11 from 40 yards out.
He hit 16 straight. Goodson had the unen­
viable task at Texas of stepping into the
big shoes left by the gifted Erxleben, but
Goodson did it all differently, including
taking off his shoe to kick. He does it
soccer style, too, hitting 17 out of 28
three-pointers, for a 1.55 per game FG
average.
Of the Top Ten returnees in career ac­
curacy for their placement work, all but
Stump kick ’em soccer style. Tops is
Georgia’s Rex Robinson (40 of 62), a senior
who’s clicked on 65 straight PATs. Surpris­
ingly, Rex missed his first varsity extra­
point try, but he’s been king of the hill
since. He needs 17 three-pointers this
year to break Tony Franklin’s NCAA career
mark of 56 FGs. Rex got his start booting
in his very own backyard, kicking be­
tween two trees.
Obed Arriri came to Clemson on a track
scholarship, then turned to soccer. He
had learned the game in his native
Nigeria and helped spark the Tigers to the
runner-up spot in the NCAAs. He also did
the placement work for the footballers,
helping them to an ACC championship
and post-season bowl exposure. Baylor’s
Bob Bledsoe is the most prolific kicker in
Beeir history despite a poor start which
saw him click on only one of his first six
tries. He’s 25 of 39 going into his senior
year. Other aces are Stanford’s Ken Naber
(32-52, plus a 41.6 career punt average)
and Nathan Ritter of North Carolina State,
who hit 24 of his 28 FG tries, the nation’s
best over the past two years. Nat also hit
on 58 of his 60 PATs. Utah State’s Steve

Casey Murphy
Temple

continued

Dana Moore
Mississippi State
Steinke and Northern Illinois’ Rome Moga
are other sidewinders with topnotch
career FG figures.
The amazing thing about kicking spe­
cialists is that the supply never seems to
run dry. Take Syracuse, for example.
Coach Frank Maloney lost the best kicker
in Orange annals when Dave Jacobs
graduated after the ’78 season after re­
writing the record book. Yet, South Africa
native Gary Anderson, a high school soc­
cer star, stepped right in and nobody
noticed a change, for he hit on 15 of 21
FGs, including 14 of his first 17. Anderson,
who can kick with either foot, thanks to
his soccer background, prefers his right
for maximum distance. He Ccin hit ’em up
to 65 yards and is amazingly accurate
from 50 yards out. Gary has two more
years to work his magic for the Orange.
Virtually every place you look, colleges
have record-making kickers of some de­
scription. Western Michigan’s Alton
Laupp is the school’s career recordholder in three categories; Army’s Dave
Aucoin set a West Point record hitting a
50-yarder to help deadlock Duke; TexasArlington’s Brian Happel holds Southland
Conference marks for most PATs in a sea­
son, 40. That’s just scratching the surface.
In the punting department, there are
plenty of solid toes ready to thump the
ball again, including Brigham Young’s
Clay Brown, a well-built (6-3, 208) athlete
who led the nation last fall with a 45.3 av­
erage on his 43 punts. And Clay also
caught 31 passes for 498 yards, operating
as a tight end.
Other star returnees are Clemson’s
David Sims, Michigan State’s powerful
Ray Stachowicz, and Virginia Tech’s Dav
Smigelsky. The latter came to Tech as a
quarterback, hurt his shoulder, but concontinued

3t

tinued to punt, averaging 42.3 yards last
fall. Sims, All-ACC, had only two games in
which he failed to average 40 yards. The
All-Big Ten top punter for the past three
seasons, Stachowicz has averaged better
than 42 yards from scrimmage.
UCLA’s Matt McFarland was named
ABC’s defensive player-of-the-week for
his sparkling punting in the rain vs. Wash­
ington. Alabama’s Woody Umphrey, who
kicks ’em left-footed, has a 70-yarder to
his credit. Walk-on Tim Davey of Washing­
ton State likes to pass out of the^eep for­
mation, while his counterpeirt at Wash­
ington, Rich Camarillo, booted all fall
without one getting blocked. YQlanova
has a punter, Joe Borajkiewicz, whom his
mates have tabbed "Joe Alphabet’’ for ob­
vious reasons.
Joe’s an all-arounder, playing defensive
hedfback, punting and holding for
placekicker Chuck Bushbeck. Penn State
has a fine punter in soph Ralph Gia-

Ray Stachowicz
Michigan State
comarro, who averaged 43.2 vs. Syracuse.
Northern Illinois’ Jim Hannula is from
the old school. The 6-6, 235-pound offen­
sive tackle drops back out of the line
when he punts. West Virginia’s Curt Carion gets outstanding hang time, while
Arizona State’s Mike Black saw one of his
kicks travel 92 yards. Northeast Louisia­
na’s Bill Weimer had a big year, just miss­
ing the 40-average, with a 39.9 mark. A
coming punter to watch is Kelly
Richardson, a frosh QB heading for Mon­
tana, from Grants Pass, Ore., who aver­
aged 40 yards in high school. Vhnderbilt

If you’re looking for a barefoot boy who
tans a football, then try Oklahoma’s Mike
Keeling, who can do it all. A member of
the Bowling Green golf team, John Spong­
ier enters the ’80 campaign with a PAT
string of 51 in a row. South Carolina's
Eddie Leopard has a 52-}'ard field goal to
his credit, while Dan Miller of Miami of
Florida has hit three fielders in one game.
Oklahoma State has Colin Andersen, a na­
tive of Denmark, who made good all of his
PATs, and 12 of his 21FG attempts. There’s
an ambidextrous hooter loose at Yale in
the form of Anthony Jones. He’s a side­
winder soph. Another talented sidewin­
der is Wyoming’s Wayne VfinDerloo, who
hit on 10 of 16 three-pointers, tops in the
Western Athletic Conference.
On and on this saga can go. Texas
Tech’s junior Maury Buford has an edu­
cated toe. He led the NCAA punters as a
frosh with a 44.1 average and was 13th nation^dly. And he’s been an Academic Allday Brown
American for both of his college years, be­
Brigham Young
sides. Colorado presents a one-two
soph Jim Arnold is coming off a fantastic punch in placekicker Tom Field and
punting season. He credits Atlanta Falcon punter Lance Olander. Field is a walk-on,
ace John James for giving him some help­ while Olander led the Buffs in rushing,
too. Tennessee’s Alan Duncan, a son of a
ful tips. Wisconsin likes its soph, Dave
Greenwood, who averaged 40.5 yards in missonary in Kenya, learned to kick a
53 kicks, and credits his high-jumping soccer ball first. He’s 23 of 32 in field goal
work. Another Tennessean, Memphis

Some other returnees with consistently State’s Rusty Bennett, holds every MSU

liistorical book about the Rose Bowk has
also ensured that Brown wUl live forever
in the hearts of fans, or at least remember­
ed reverently. After Alabama made its
bowl debut, Stiles recorded a 20-19
Crimson Tide victory over favored
Washington by recognizing a
clutch, two-touchdown perform­
ance by Brown in the second half.
“The Rose Bowl's greatest game,”
Stiles wrote. “One of college foot­
ball's most savage counter-attacks
to storm the heights of victory in
the face of what seemed certain
and overwhelming defeat. One of
the most magnificent one-man stands
since Horatius held the bridge. This game
was all of these."
Brown, who was inducted into the Na­
tional Football Foundation Hall of Fame in
1957, was easily the star of that splendid
show. That made a prophet out of a
staunch Alabama supporter. While on the
train that carried the Crimson Tide on its
2,500-mile, five-day trip firom Tuscaloosa
to Pasadena, Bob McDavid, president of
the Birmingham chapter of the Alabama
Alumni Association, awoke fi'om a nap
and startled passengers by screaming,
“ Hooray for Johnny Mack!”
By late afternoon on January 1, the en­
tire nation was echoing that praise.
At halftime of that Rose Bowl, Washing­
ton had a 12-0 lead and a crowd of 45,000

WATCH ABC'S MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL BROUGHT TO YOU BY DATSUN

Something so special

j

by Nick Peters, Oakland TRIBUNE
his is an era of specialization in sports, a condition which
has created greater proficiency in the games themselves
and more interest in the fans, but has retarded development
of the all-around athlete.
In football, for instance, punters and placekickers seldom do
anything else. Until the post-war period, however, the best athlete
on the squad handled those chores with ease. The gridiron’s
one-platoon days obviously required a more well-rounded player.
Other sports have similar specialists. Baseball has its pinchrunners and designated hitters. At one time,the game didn’t even
have relief pitchers—starters were expected to finish. Modem
basketball has its playmakers, shooting guards, power forwards
and shot-blocking centers who as athletes are programmed into
k certain niche and invariably are stereot3q)ed throughout their

T

careers.
As a result, the two-sport athlete is a rarity these days and the
three-sport star is virtually extinct once out of high school.
It wasn’t always that way. Prior to 1950, there were numerous
three-sport standouts who could have made the grade in a vari­
ety of sports. But the last great all-around athlete this nation has
produced is Jim Brown, who was graduated from Syracuse Uni­
versity almost 25 years ago.

Jackie Robinson

In researching the great three-sport athletes, therefore, the
modems invariably are ignored. And since it is not fair to com­
pare athletes of different eras, these superstars have been sepa­
rated into five groups: pre-1920, the Golden Age (1920-32), the
pre-war period (1933-41), the Forties and the modems (plus-1950).
Each era had its three-sport superstar, beginning with the in­
comparable Jim Thorpe, a five-eighths Indian who was named
America’s Athlete of the Half Century over Babe Ruth and Jack
Dempsey in 1950. Thorpe dominated the pre-1920 era, though
athletes like Greasy Ne^e, Frankie Frisch, George Halas, Elmer
Oliphant, Christy Mathewson and Stan B,aumgartner also were
versatile stars.
The so-called Golden Age spawned numerous marvelous
athletes without an individual as dominant as Thorpe. Babe Didrickson is the exception, but she is not included in this grouping
because she did not play football while reigning as America's
greatest woman athlete ever. Ernie Nevers, Jess Hill and Bennie
Oosterbaan were the class of the male athletes of the era.
Three-sport athletes thinned out during the pre-War years.
The nation was going through the Depression and people had a
lot more to worry about than developing athletic Skills. The ex­
ceptions were Jackie Robinson and Byron (Whizzer) continued
9t

The talented Indian then left school to
play baseball for Rocky Mount in the East
Carolinas League, an act which later cost
him his amateur standing and his 013mlpic medals. But it was an innocent move,
for Thorpe signed to play professionsd
baseball only because he felt he would
never again return to Carlisle.
But Pop Warner, his coach, beckoned
and Thorpe became a football superstar.
As a junior in 1911, he led C£irlisle to an
11-1 record and was a first-team AllAmerican. Against Harvard, he rushed for
173 yards, scored all 18 points and won
the game 18-15 with a 50-yard field goal.
Fbllowing his Ol3mipic success, the great
athlete returned to Carlisle for his senior

Ernie Nevers

White, two men whose contributions far
exceed their achievements on the field.
The other standout of that era was George
Sauer.
During World War II and immediately
following it, there was an increase in
sports activity. Many athletes, attached to
universities for officer training, honed
their skills while extending their college
eligibility. As soon as the war ended, there
was a sports boom, a great escape from
the ravages of a great depression and a
lengthy conflict. It was in this era that
Otto Graham and George Ratterman blos­
somed and, ironically, later performed as
quarterbacks on the Cleveland Browns.
Pete Elliott, Carl Braun, Elroy Hirsch and
Johnny Lindell were other three-sport
marvels of the period.
Then came the specialization that vir­
tually wiped out the three-spoit star. Jim
Brown stands alone over the last quarter
century. There simply was nobody in his
class. Today, it is generally accepted that
the greatest athlete in the world is the
Ol3TTipic decathlon champion, but it is
doubtful that talented men like Bruce
Jenner, Bill Toomey, Rafer Johnson and
Bob Mathias could perform with the allaround excellence of the three-sport
standouts who glamorized their eras.
Thorpe, a mere 6-1,185 at his peak, not
only won the Olympic decathlon in 1912,
but managed to earn gold medals in the
long jump, pentathlon and decathlon in a
span of three days!
Thorpe first rose to prominence as an
athlete while at Carlisle, an Indian
school. As a freshman in 1907, his second
carry as a collegian resulted in a 75-yard
touchdown against Penn. He was a thirdteam All-America halfback as a soph, tak­
ing time to win the Penn Relays high
jump at 6-1. One year later, he took seven
of nine firsts in a meet with Lafayette and
five firsts, one second and two thirds
against Syracuse.

season.
He scored a record 198 points on the
gridiron and the school went 12-1-1.
Against Army, and a fellow halfback
named Dwight Eisenhower, Thorpe re­
turned a kickoff 100 yards for a
touchdown. The run was nullified by
penalty, so he duplicated the feat on the
ensuing kick.
Thorpe signed a baseball contract with
the Giants and had a .252 lifetime average
as a major league outfielder. Just when he
learned to hit a curve, batting .327 in 1919,
he stepped down and concentrated on
football. He played for the Canton
Bulldogs when the NFL was in its infancy
and, though past his prime as a runner,
was a great kicker, as evidenced by a 90yard punt and a 75-yard drop kick field
goal.
An all-time All-American, Thorpe also
left his mark on the pro game. At age 38,
he tackled rookie Nevers in a 1926 game.
As he helped Nevers to his feet, Thorpe
asked, “Are you all right?” A groggy Nevers
looked up and replied, “Sure, Jim, but I’m
glad I wasn't pla3dng against you 10 years
ago."
Thorpe was a master at the fl3dng
tackle, crushing ballcarriers by pouncing
on their backs. When Halas set an NFL
record by returning a fumble 98 yards for
a TD against the Oorang Indians in 1923,
he admitted being propelled by fear.
Thorpe, you see, was chasing him.
Besides performing in football, baseball
and track, Thorpe also was proficient in
boxing, swimming, basketball, lacrosse
and wrestling. There was never an athlete
like him. It boggles the mind to think
what he might have achieved had he.
trained rigorously.
Nevers was a football legend in the Gol­
den Age and Warner, who coached both,
rated him over Thorpe. “Ernie could do
everything Jim could do and he tried
h^lrder—no man ever gave more of him­
self." To be sure, Nevers was durable. In a
29-game, 117,000-mile tour with the
Duluth Eskimos in 1926, the bruising
fullback only missed 27 minutes of action!
An all-time All-Americ^ul, Nevers

eiimed 11 letters at Stanford in 1923-25,
making headlines by starring in the 1925
Rose Bowl 10 days after having casts re­
moved from both legs. He played six pro
basketball games for Chicago and was a
pitcher for the St. Louis Browns, allowing
home runs No. 8 and 41 when Ruth wal­
loped 60 in 1927. “You’ve got good speed,
kid,” Babe told Ernie. “For my sake, I hope
you stick to football."
After a .200 lifetime average and a 4-4
record in the majors, Nevers starred
briefly for the San Francisco Missions of
the Pacific Coast League, winning nine in
a row in ’28, before adhering to Ruth’s
wishes. In his greatest performance for
Duluth, Ernie scored six touchdowns and
40 points against the Bears in 1929.
Hill didn’t have the pro success Nevers
enjoyed, but he was an equally gifted col­
lege athlete. After leading Riverside (Cal.)
City College to J.C. championships in
football, basketball, baseball and track, he
took his act to USC, where he starred in all
of the aforementioned sports but basket­
ball. In track, he set an IC4A (forerunner
of the NCAA) long jump record of 25-7/8.
In 1929, he topped the Pacific Coast
Conference rushers with an 8.2 average
for the Trojans and in 1930 he was the
conference batting champion at .389. In
his first professional at bat, the young
outfielder smacked the first pitch for a
homer, pla3ong with Hollywood against
Los Angeles in the PCL. He batted .356
with 18 homers that year and later batted
.349 for Newark in ’34 before reaching the
Yankees and posting a .289 lifetime major
league mark.
Oosterbaan, an all-time All-American,
earned nine letters at Michigan. He was
best known as an All-America end in
1925-27, but also was a basketball A-A in
’28, was the Big Ten batting champion at
.459 and the conference discus king with
a toss of 227-3.
The fact that Robinson became the first
black to play professioned baseball over­
shadowed his athletic deeds, but Jackie
was a great competitor in several sports
while becoming UCLA’s only four-sport
letterman. At Pasadena City College he
long-jumped 25-61/3 to erase the mark of
his hero, brother Mack, who was a 1936
Olympian. While at UCLA, Jackie was the
NCAA long-jump champion at 24-10 1/4.
As a Bruin halfl)ack in ’39, Robinson
topped the nation by averaging 12.2 yards
per carry and averaged 21.0 yards on punt
returns. Against Washington State, he
gained 148 yards in 10 tries. Jackie played
semi-pro football with the Los Angeles
Bulldogs in 1941, but basketball was his
premier sport in college.
He was all-conference two years, set­
ting a PCC scoring record with 148 points
in 12 games in 1940. He became the career
scoring leader as well by adding 133

points in '41. Jackie batted .400 for
Pasadena’s semi-pro state champs and
later was selected by Branch Rickey to
break baseball’s color line. Basketball and
football soon followed suit. Robinson had
a lifetime .311 average for the Dodgers and
was the National League MVP after win­
ning the batting championship with a
.342 average in 1949.
White was the perfect combination of
brains and brawn, rising to the bench of
the Supreme Court. Whizzer won 10 let­
ters at Colorado, participating in basketb^dl, footbcill and baseball. As an AllAmerica halfback in ’37, he topped the
nation with 1,121 yards and 120 points.
The Phi Beta Kappa athlete joined the
Steelers in 1938 and promptly was the
NFL rushing champion as a rookie. But he
accepted a Rhodes Scholarship and at­
tended Oxford in 1939-40 before return­
ing to the NFL with the Lions in ’40. He
again topped the league in rushing while
attending Yale Law School, but retired
from the game to concentrate on his
studies.
Graham and Ratterman simply had no
peers as athletes in the Forties. Graham,
knowm as ‘Automatic Otto,” was an AllAmerican in footbeill and basketball at
Northwestern, earning eight letters, in­
cluding two in baseball. He later played
pro basketball for Rochester and, of
course, was the finest pro quarterback of
his time while with the Browns.
When he enrolled at Northwestern, Ot­
to’s best sport was basketball. But he
came out for football in 1941 and forced
All-American Bill DeCorrevant to split
pla34ng time. He was the Big Ten total of­
fense leader in ’42 and the conference
passing champion in 1942-43, once com­
pleting 20 of 29 passes for 295 yards
against Michigan, an awesome yardage
total for that era.
Selected to face the Redskins in ’43, he
powered the College All-Stars to a 27-7

12t

romp by returning an interception 95
yards for a TD. Quarterbacking the AllStcirs again in ’46, Otto completed a 38yard TD pass to Hirsch in a 16-0 victory.
While in the service, he attended Colgate
and made All-America in basketball in
'44, once scoring 43 points against Navy.
Ratterman was equally talented, but
hardly as serious as Otto. He was all-state
in four sports as a Cincinnati prep and
earned seven letters at Notre Dame, yet
never reached the athletic heights pre­
dicted for him. Known as "The Kid,” Rat­
terman was one of only four four-sport lettermen at Notre Dame, but was sus­
pended after his junior year for staying
out all night and soon turned pro.
The versatile athlete batted .300 for the
Irish baseballers and qualified for the
NCAA tennis tournament, but made his
biggest marks in basketball and football.
As a eager, he was All-Madison Square
Garden two years in a row, once scoring
24 points against NYU and on another oc­
casion outpointing George Mikan in a
game with DePaul. As a gridder, he beat
out Frank Tripucka and Johnny Lujack.
Coach Frank Leahy was going to shift
Lujack to hedfback and place Ratterman
at quarterback ip ’47, but George was
suspended and Lujack went on to fame.
Still, he was selected to play for the Col­
lege All-Stars in ’47, directing a 16-0 upset
of the heavily-favored Bears by complet­
ing eight of 12 passes for 151 yards and a
TD. The NFL wouldn’t touch him because
his class had not graduated, but the AllAmerican Conference was willing. Rat­
terman signed with Buffalo and became
the first pro to consistently complete be­
tween 50 and 60 percent of his passes. He
later was Graham’s back-up at Cleveland.
Elliott was a shade behind the two
quarterbacks in talent, but there was no
questioning his versatility after he won 12
letters at Michigan. Pete was a hadfcack
on the unbeaten Wolverine gridders of
'47, a squad which demolished USC, 49-0,
in the Rose Bowl. He was a guard on the
first Michigan Big Ten basketball champs
in 30 years and also was a member of the
golf squad which won a conference title.
Hirsch, the famous “Crazylegs,” com­
peted for Wisconsin and Michig^m, earn­
ing letters in basketball, footbcdl, baseball
and track. Lindell attended USC on a
football and track scholarship, later star­
ring as a pitcher-outfielder in pro
baseball. Braun did everything for Col­
gate: football, basketball, baseball, golf,
swimming, boxing, track and table ten­
nis. As a minor leaguer, he thrice beat
Robin Roberts in pitching duels and later
starred with the Knicks in the NBA, once
scoring 47 points as a rookie.
Then came the modem era, 1950 to
date, and one man stood alone as the
epitome of an cill-around athlete, tmly a
man for all seasons. Syracuse athletic di­

rector Lew Andreas probably said it best
when describing Jim Brown.
"You watch Brown and he makes you
dream. He could be another Jim Thorpe.
He excels in any sport he tries. He could
be the best heavyweight boxer in the col­
lege ranks if he wanted to be. \bu name
the sport and I’m sure Jim could master it
in a short time.”
All-State in three sports as a Manhasset, N.Y., prep, he averaged 14.9 yards
mshing and 38 points as a eager, but
Syracuse was wary of recruiting him at
first because of his race. But once he was
accepted. Brown became the greatest
athlete in the school’s history, lettering in
football, basketball, track and lacrosse
and earning All-America honors in foot­
ball and lacrosse, where his coach con­
sidered him ‘America’s greatest player.”
Brown played basketball only as a
sophomore and a junior, the 6-3, 230pound forward averaging 13.1 points. He
was fifth in the 1955 AAU decathlon and
starred in track meets whenever he en­
tered. One spring day, the track coach
pleaded with Jim to enter the Colgate
meet. He won the discus and the high
jump and placed second in the javelin.
The 13 points enabled the Orangemen to
win, 72-59. A few minutes later, he scored
a goal and three assists in his final lac­
rosse competition, an 8-6 victory over
Army.
But it was on the gridiron where Brown
gained his greatest prestige. The jarring
ftillback gained 2,091 yards in three years.
In eight games as a senior, he rushed for
986 yards, scored 14 TDs emd added 22
PATs. Playing against Colgate in his col­
lege finale, Jim rushed for 197 yards and
scored 43 points (six TDs, seven PATs), an
NCAA record. As a Browns’ rookie in ’57,
he carried 24 times for 237 yards against
the Rams, another record. He concluded
his brilliant athletic career with the fol­
lowing NFL records: 2,359 carries, 12,312
yards, 106 TDs rushing, a 5.2 average, 126
total TDS, seven 1,000-yard seasons (in
eight tries) and 58100-yard games. Along
with the old-timers, he was voted an alltime All-American.
There simply is nobody among the
modems who comes close to Brown.
Reggie Jackson played football, basketball
and baseball at Arizona State. Wilt Cham­
berlain doesn’t qualify for this listing, but
he also was a gifted athlete, competing in
basketball and track at Kansas, shattering
most NBA records and playing profes­
sional volleyball. Wilt was such a physical
giant, people fantasized about how he’d
fare as a tight end or a heavyweight boxer.
Those were only dreams, however.
Athletes like Thorpe, Nevers, Robinson,
Graham, Ratterman, Hill and Brown lived
the fantasy—the reason why they rate a
special distinction in the lore of American
sport.

the movies.
Contrary to popular belief. Brown did
not have his first screen test until
Alabama returned to Pasadena the follow­
ing season to tie Stanford in the 1927 Rose
Bowl. He was an assistant backfield coach
for the Crimson Tide at the time and was
leaning toward a career as a coach.
But Champ Pickens, an Alabama
alumnus, a Hollywood promoter and an
author, had other ideas. Knowing Brown
had a name on the West Coast because of
his football prowess, he summoned him
to Hollywood.
Brown landed a movie contract and
had a bit part in "Bugle Call.” Several sup­
porting roles later, he got a starring role in
"Coquettes/’where he played opposite the
famed Mary Pickford. Early in his acting
career, he appeared in dramatic movies,
but gradually turned to westerns.
"Johnny Mack lacked something doing
those mush movies,” said Winslett, his
former teammate turned critic. "He was
more suited for the westerns. His career
took off when he made that change.”
An early western part for Brown was
the lead role in "Billy The Kid.” He in­
sisted that the world premier be held at
the Bama Theater in Tuscaloosa in 1930.
Shortly afterwards, his career boomed
and he became a box office smash as a
cowboy in a white hat who always got his
gunslinging outlaw rival.
Fame and fortune never got the best of
Brown. He gave freely of his time to
charities, even after his stcirring days had
ended.
"Am I surprised Johnny Mack made it
big?” Winslett repeated the question.
“You know I am. I knew he was something
special in football, but I had no idea he
could do much of anything else. Johnny
Mack made us all mighty proud of him.”

“So what I did,” the coach said, “was go
to my 'Old Reliable.’ The swing pass. I love
that play. We’d hit ’em right with one and
then pop ’em to the left with it a couple of
plays later. Biff-biff! Like a boxer using his
jab. We kept the other team off balance
and they started guessing and pretty
soon we had ’em on the run. We scored
three touchdowns and they were all set
up by the swing pass.
“And you know what? We stole that
game. We won it, 21-17, and we had no
business winning it. The other team was
bigger, stronger, deeper. They should

have turned us every way but loose, but
they never could solve the swing pass. Yes
sir, I love that little play.”
His affection for the swing is shared by
most other members of the collegiate
football coaching fraternity, for it is effec­
tive. But what especially makes it endear­
ing to coaches is that it is safe. And no­
thing, but nothing, so wins the heart of a
coach like a play that offers minimum
danger and maximum gain.
“The swing pass is a high-percentage,
low-risk play, no question,” says one
coach. “It has all the potential for making

After the catch comes the forward gain.
big yardage and almost no danger of
turning the ball over. And that means it
has almost no restrictions. You can use it
from almost any position on the field, es­
pecially when you’re backed up deep in
your own end.
“Plus,” he continues, “It is not an ‘obvi­
ous’ play. By that, I mean it is versatile: it
can be used on almost any down, in any
situation. You can use it if you’re playing
catch-up or if you’re trying to protect a
lead. You can use it on first-and-10, or on
second-and-short, or on third-and-long.
“There are a lot of situations where
there are very predictable plays. Heck,
the people in the stands can call the
screen or the draw if it’s obvious the other
guy’s defensive rush is eating you alive.
But the swing pass, you can use it to open
a game or end it ... and anywhere in be­
tween. And best of all, it can make you
look like a genius.
The swing pass, actually, is more run
than pass. Oh, the ball is thrown all right.
But sideways. The territorial gains for­
ward begin after the pass is completed.
As the nomenclature suggests, a back
“swings ” out of his stance toward one
sideline. The quarterback takes the snap,
retreats quickly, eyes the “swing” back.
Ideally, the receiver has curled backwards
as he has swung out. Now he peels back
and starts forward, running a pattern the
shape of a banana, and this gives him
momentum. The quarterback delivers the
ball as the “swing ” back has started back
toward the line of scrimmage. Hopefully,
the ball arrives as he has picked up accel­
eration so that he receives the pass while
The swing pass is a high-percentage piay with littie or no danger of turning the bali over.

he is shifting into third gear.
The hlockers, meanwhile, have en­
gaged their men and now they are swing­
ing to the side of the field where the back
has received the ball, forming a convoy. Or
they may be ordered to stand fast, chop
down their men, cut off all avenues of
pursuit. For the ultimate purpose of the
swing pass is this: To get a back in an
open field as quickly as possible, before
the defense has time to react.
“It's a bing-bing kind of play,” one
coach agrees. “The old hit-’em-wherethey-ain't theory. You’re trying to get your
runner to the outside, away from the
traffic, where he’ll have some room to do
his thing.
“It’s not like a screen pass in that you
try to disguise it, or that it takes some
time to unfold. It’s usually done pretty
quickly. The quarterback goes back a
couple of steps, whips it, and you’re off to
the races. It’s a relatively easy play to
teach. I don’t mean to imply that it’s as
much a snap as it looks on the blackboard
because the timing is crucial. But one of
the nice things about it is you don’t have
to be a 'passing team’ to use the swing.
“It’s the perfect play to spring your
quickest back, your best broken field
runner. Once he’s turned the comer, you

could get six out of it every time.”
It masquerades under a number of
names. The Swing. The Flare. The Dump.
The Safety Valve. The Circle Route. But it
is a play that seems especially effective for
a team that is outmanned, that is being
physically whipped up front.
“It’s also good when you’re bogged
down,” adds another coach. “You’ve had
one of those days when they stuff you no
matter what you try. You Ccm’t trap them,
you can’t slant on them, you can’t run
right at them; they stack you up when you
try to go wide; they dump you every time
you try to go back and pass ... we’ve all
had those games. Well, that’s when I like
to go to the swing pass.
“It’s a nice change of pace. And it’s
something you can go to when you’re in
a desperate spot but at the same time
you’re not admitting it, you’re not doing
something out of panic that’s going to be
very risky. And, hey, if they’ve stopped you
cold on everything else, and then they
cream you on the swing, too, then you run
up the white flag.”
There is one theory of coaching that
says once you have found a play that
works against a particular team, run it
until they stop it. Does that cdso apply to
the swing pass? Isn’t there a chance of

overworking a good thing?
“Listen,” says one veteran coach, “the
swing pass is a license to steal. You know
why? ’Cause there are other things you
can do off of it. Just one example; You
throw the swing, only instead of running
on upfield with it, the back stops and
throws a forward pass before he ever gets
to the line of scrimmage. The ol’ fleaflicker! Now you’ve really got the oth6r
guy going in circles. The next time you
pull the swing, the defense is leery, back
on their heels. Is this just a regular swing
pass, or is that little so-and-so gonna pull
up and heave one way downfield?
'And there’s another variation, too, if
you want to start jazzing things up. You
throw the swing pass, and this time the
swing back stops and throws the ball back
to the quarterback, and then he cuts
loose with another pass. Three passes on
one play!
“Hey, you might end up with about
third-and-37. Or you might get a 70-yard
touchdown. But one thing’s sure, no­
body’s gonna be nodding off up in the
stands.”
It sounds like something out of “Bob
and Carol and Ted and Alice,” but col­
lege football obviously is turned on by
swinging.

and nnid-size at the very same time.

No mirrors, no wires, nothing up our
sleeve. Citation really is both com­
pact and mid-size. Watch closely.

Compoet on the outskle.
Outside, Citation measures only
16 feet bumper to bumper. Thafs trim
enough to fit into 3/4 of a parking
space.

Mid-size on the inside.
No hocus-pocus. What we did
was to mount Citation's engine
sideways, giving you enough room
inside to seat five adults comfortably.
With space left over in the
hatchback that could even surprise
Houdini. There's also a removable
shelf panel that makes every bit of
cargo just seem to disappear.

YouVo got to drive it to beHeve it.
Of course, there's a lot nnore
about Citation than meets the eye.
• There's its front-wheel-drive
traction on wet roads, through snow
and in mud.
• The way its ride can moke a stretch
of road seem a whole lot smoother.
• Its impressive acceleration.
• And yet still, in the hatchback,
wagon-like convenience.
Why not see your Chevy dealer
about buying or leasing the new
Chevy Citation. You might be
amazed. It could be just the car you
have in mind.

In simple terms,why every Honda has front-wheel drive.
Have you noticed how more and more car manu­
facturers are switching to front-wheel drive these days?
We’re not surprised. We knew the advantages
of front-wheel drive a long, long time ago.
In fact, only Honda has sold all its cars in the U.S.
with front-wheel drive and a transverse-mounted engine.
(Not to mention having sold more than anyone else too.)
So just what are the advantages?
For a start, we’ve designed a car that’s smaller
on the outside but with more than enough room inside for
both driver and passengers.
This is partly due to the fact that there’s no
driveshaft running through the passenger compartment. So
your passengers have more foot and legroom.
Eliminating the driveshaft also reduces another
problem. Because the driveshaft can be a source of noise

and vibration. But the advantages of front-wheel drive don’t
stop at improved space utilization and comfort.
Front-wheel drive puts more of the weight on the
front driving wheels. That means better traction.
And since driving power is applied in the direction
the car is being steered, it helps you through the turns.
We could go on.
But the only way to really appreciate our frontwheel drive is to test-drive a Honda yourself.
The Civic. The car that was named Motor Trend
magazine’s Import Car of the Year.
The Accord. Our luxury car.
And the Prelude. Our idea of a sports car.
They all have front-wheel drive.
So if that’s what you’re looking for in a car, it’s
I
worth remembering that Honda is out in front all the way.

...To help you take the risk out
of staying healthy—
by playing healthy

Harriot’s Sports Medicine Clinic,
one-of-a-kind in Erie, provides an
authoritative center where Erie
area athletes—from the weekend
tennis player to the college football
player, from the young to the notso-young—their coaches, trainers,
and physicians can turn for expert
evaluation of sports-related in­
juries.
The services begin with diag­
nosis. Specialists in orthopedics,
general surgery, cardiology, pedi­
atrics, neurology, physical therapy, and athletic training are available to assist in the evaluation.
Then a rehabilitation program is devised. Each one is designed to allow the athlete to return quickly to
competition, but without compromising the goal of 100% recovery.
Recognizing the need for community awareness in the care and prevention of sports-related injuries,
the Hamot Sports Medicine Clinic Staff consults with athletes and with schools and their teams.
Registered nutritionists assist in planning individual and team diets. Through contractual agreements,
teams can arrange to have a professional on hand at athletic events.
Regular seminars are held to instruct coaches and trainers about sports medicine, a relatively new
field in health care. There’s also a course for high school students who want to assist as student athletic
trainers. Members of the staff also frequently speak to civic groups about sports medicine.
Individuals can be seen at the clinic on a walk-in basis, but appointments are preferred. Physician refer­
ral is not required. For appointments call (814) 455-6711, ext. 536.

Harriot Medical Center is committed to maintaining the health of the community

tion programs through such services as:

where would awise investor seek
sound adviee, attentive serviee,
unbeatable information, and
unmatched financial strength ?

Merrill Lynch says,
close to home.
Don’t misunderstand. There’s
nothing wrong with searching far
and wide for investment ideas. It’s
not easy to get rich these days.
But to search on your own is a
full-time job-and-a-half Y3u have to
read everything, digest it all, ana­
lyze the information, act on it...and
do it fast, because opportunities
become ancient history in precious
little time.
Meanwhile, some of the best
investment ideas are sitting practi­
cally on your doorstep, at a nearby
office of Merrill Lynch.
We have the resources and
the people to know, really know,
investment opportunities as diverse
as oil drilling partnerships and
Treasury Bill futures, options and
retirement plans.
Our research team is the best
on Wall Street—in Wall Street’s
own opinion. And we make it easy
to use that unrivaled resource: computei terminals at every Merrill
Lynch office can instantly print out

A breed apart
up-to-the-minute opinions on more
than 1200 stocks.
Best of all is the way we tailor
our advice to your requirements.
Before offering a single suggestion,
your Merrill Lynch Account Exec­
utive will spend a long while listen­
ing. Finding out what you really
need. Because the smartest invest­
ment plans—the plans most likely
to succeed—start with a clear
definition of where they want to go.

What you tell us determines in
large part what we tell you.
So we make a point of develop­
ing, for each customer, a sound
long-term investment strategy, and
we encourage you to stick with it
and not be sidetracked by invest­

aberrations. And we give you the
security of knowing that we’re
going to stick with you and see you
through to your goals. Merrill
Lynch has more than $800 million
in capital resources working for
you, and we plan to be advising you
long after all those fad investments
have been written off.
So drop in at a nearby Merrill
Lynch office and look over some of
the brochures that explain our phi­
losophy and way of doing things.
Dont worry...we won’t ask you to
buy anything. In fact, we probably
won’t even let you, until we get to

running wild and alumni belting out the
college fight song. It is a time of pause,
time for fans to talk about the second
string running back who carved up the.
defense, or the 81-yard romp by the quar­
terback that left the crowd in awe.
There is constant movement during
halftime. The bands, choreographed to
the smallest step, have themes and
stories to tell. Baton twirlers intervene
with dazzle and speed. Popcorn vendors
try to catch a fan’s attention while the
scoreboard flashes notes.
College football began in the East, then
grew to the far West, the South and, by
the 1920s, the Southwest. The first
halftime show, not surprisingly, also oc­
curred in the East.
Harvard University is thought to be
among the first schools to offer a halftime
show. In 1919, the college band, number­
ing about 50, played at football games. It
was a completely different group from the
Harvard band now associated with shows
of political satire and sociological spoof.
Back then, the band bragged about the
fact it had two wooden piccolos and a
curved soprano Scix, not to mention
tuxedos for everybody. By 1924, the band
received transportation money and trav­
eled to Princeton and Yale.
It would be another 50 years before the
Harvard band spelled out CHINA and the
announcer spoke of the “atomic age, a
new nucleus of cooperation.” Following
that, the band "melted down," dropping
to the 50-yard line.
Most college bands are neither irreve­
rent nor political. They want only to
provide some music and entertainment.
College bands can range in size from 75
members to almost 400. One Southwest
Conference school has but a single female
and calls itself, "99 Guys and a Doll.”
Schools in the Pac-10 invite the audience
to participate by having student body
cards that are flashed simultaneously.
The stands are transformed into splashes
of color that complement the band.
Different schools have different reputa­
tions. In the Southwest Conference, one
school is known for its enormous size,
another for the fact it is a precision, all­
male band. Many bands sell albums, one
is famous for its jazz interpretations.
In the Big Ten, Ohio State has be­
come associated with the "Script Ohio.”
Dressed in scarlet and gray, the band fin­
ishes by forming the word "Ohio.” It is an
honor for a band member, usually the one
who plays the tuba, to dot the "I.” He or
she will run at full speed as the song is
about to end and punctuate the perform­
ance.
Most home team bands will only per­
form for eight or nine minutes. Another
eight or nine is given to the visiting team
band, and the time left over is taken up
marching on and off the field.

Many schools will invite local high
school bands to perform, giving new
character to a show. The Cotton Bowl
Committee gets as much favorable mail
about the Kilgore Bangerettes, a show­
stopping dance squad that performs
every year, as it does about anything else.
Since the 1920s, halftime shows have
become more elaborate and thus more
memorable. The games that sold out the
Polo Grounds in the mid-1930s were
remembered for the great Fordham
teams,
not
the
halftime
shows.
Pittsburgh, though, did make a name
back then for its outstanding band.
Army and Navy, of course, have always
impressed crowds with the exact march­
ing of the cadets. Many Navy graduates
have thrilled to the sight of the students
singing, "Anchors Aweigh,” a tradition that
dates to the 1920s.
With bigger budgets and new technol­
ogy, the halftime shows have become
more sophisticated. TWelve years ago,
Michael Tilson Thomas, now a famous
conductor, was a student at the Univer­
sity of Southern California.
One summer, Thomas won the Koussevitsky Prize for conducting the student
orchestra. It enabled him to work with
Erich Leinsdorf at Tanglewood, in Lenox,
Ma. The older conductor was amazed
that Thomas was so familiar with his
work.
Thomas didn’t tell Leinsdorf that the
band at USC had marched off formations
at halftime based on Leinsdorf’s music, as
adapted by M.T. Tbomas.
Perhaps the most elaborate halftime
show is between halves of the Orange
Bowl. Each year a theme is presented that
can include everything from 20,000 rim
lights to four bands to dancing clowns.
Often, it will include all of those and
much, much more. Last year, the theme
was "Beam, Banjo and the Beat.” It had
more dancing than West Side Story, more
emotion than Fiddler on the Koof.
Dan McNamara and his Orange
Bowl Committee began preparations six
months before the game. First, a story
form was developed—a schematic look
at the production. After the art work was
laid out, the music was selected. Next, the
bands, singing groups and dancers were
chosen.
"Our trademark is doing something
spectacular,” says McNamara. "Every­
thing, from the laser production, to the
pre-recorded music, to the lighting has to
be gigantic. It’s a huge field to fill.”
His group does an extraordinary job.
With nine miles of wire, weeks of dress
rehearsal and ipoo people on the field,
few halftime shows can compare.
This year’s production featured musi­
cal numbers of riverboat scenes with
laser interludes. An airplane threw laser

"Back in 1935," says McNamara, "the
Orange Bowl used a huge orange cel­

one year almost passed out inside it."
In 1980, there were fireworks, roman
candles and huge lifts in the center of the
field that supported fountains. There was
even a smoke stack.
The entire show cost more than
$100,000 to plan, develop and produce.
Perhaps the biggest surprise, bigger than
the marching bands or the clowns on
unicycles, was that the whole thing
lasted only 10 minutes. The visiting team,
after all, was entitled to the other 10.
Probably the halftime performance
most opposite to the hit musical at the
Orange Bowl occurred six years ago
when one Ivy League school didn't have
the funds to send its bsind to an away
game.
The band decided to save face, of sorts,
by sending one young man and a tape
recorder. There, the band member an­
nounced that "The famous invisible
marching band" would take the field. Ac­
companied by his taped music, the man
described the most unusual performance
in halftime history.
The University of Tsxas is having a
Mascots go into high gear at haiftime.

Every year the Orange Bowi dazzies spectators with its haiftime extravaganza.

The use band wears Trojan outfits, com­
plete with capes.
When attention is diverted from the
bands, it often falls on the mascots. There
have been famous incidents, going back
50 years,when Army cadets would try to
steal the Navy goat. One Southeastern
Conference school has a Bengal tiger that
roars after every score. Another, formerly
all-m^lle school, always had a bulldog
named Handsome Dan. Now that school
is co-ed and the dog, a female, is named
Bingo.
Ralphie is Colorado's 1000-pound
American bison, the real thing. When the
band strikes up "Glory, Glory, Colorado,"
Ralphie is allowed to run the length of the
field, a performance that delights the
fans. Ralphie (a female, no less) stops at
the opposing team’s bench long enough
to snarl a warnmg, then charges back
upfield.
At least two schools have famous
horses, one in the Pac-10, one in the
Southwest Conference. Recently, when
the two schools played each other, one
mascot was asked to stay home. The idea
stood that one horse was enough at
halftime.
Arkansas has a mascot that is nearly ex­
tinct, a razorback. In the Northeast, Bos­
ton College has a bald eagle, £ilso on the
endangered-species list. A school in
Florida has a rattlesnake.
During halftime, the mascots are al­
lowed to perform, but many would prob­
ably rather stay in their cages. One mas­
cot has an air-conditioned cage, another
has a huge air-conditioned dog house.
People take their school mascots seri­
ously. The father and gr£mdfather of one
Southern mascot, a bulldog, are buried
under the stadium scoreboard. Once,
when the mascot at a school in Louisiana
was said to have been hurt in a highway
accident, alumni offered blood.
There are some unusueil animeds that
are trotted out at halftime—a live owl at
one school, a cougar at another. One col­
lege has a collie called Reville, another
has a grizzly beeir on a leash.
It's all part of the exhibition that is
known as halftime, and American college
experience. The traditions can be as pre­
cise as a smooth marching band or as
modem as one that plays jazz. Some
bands have no direction at all, jumping
from each formation to the next.
The college halftime show is important
enough to be included in the College
Fbotball Hall of Fame, along with tributes
to people like Amos Alonzo Stagg and
Grantland Rice. There, in Kings Mills,
Ohio, a 10-minute film records the
pageantry of the halftime show and pays
respect to some of the best bands in
America. The film presents the halftime
show as it should be—a delightful break

all the 22 positions on a football team,
comerback is perhaps the most de­
manding and the most unforgiving of
them all.
Most collegiate coaches will tell you quarter­
back requires more overall skill and intelligence,
but much of what a quarterback accomplishes—
or fails to accomplish—depends to a large degree
upon how the players surrounding him perform.
For instance, an incomplete pass might be the

result of a poorly thrown ball, or it might be be­
cause a receiver ran a bad route, a lineman
missed a blocking assignment, or a running back
lined up in such a manner the defense was able
to diagnose the play before it ever began. In other
words, there are other places to lay the blame.
When a comerback makes a mistake, the
alumnus in the stands has no trouble determin­
ing the culprit.

He has no place to hide,” is the way
one Far West secondary coach put it.
Not only does a comerback have to live
with himself after making a crucial error,
he often has to endure the displeasure of
the position coach, who in turn faces the
wrath of the head coach, who in turn is
judged, not always justly, by those who
sit in the bleachers.
There is the true story of a comerback
at a Deep South institution a few years
back who was beaten twice in the same
game for long touchdown passes and his
team lost. The next week, that same
player, who like many comerbacks was
skillful enough to return kicks in addition
to playing fulltime on'defense, fielded a
punt on his own 15 yardline and spent the
next 20 or so seconds eluding would-be
tacklers, finally reaching his opponent’s
end zone for a touchdown. As he huffed
and puffed his way back to the bench for a
well-deserved breath of o:?ygen, the de­
fensive backfield coach meandered over
and muttered, "\bu still owe me one more
touchdown.”
At another school, where football is
taken with equal seriousness, a comer­
back was beaten so badly he didn't even
show up in the film as the receiver
cradled the ball in his arms and trotted
across the goal line. "I tried to tell the
coach I had released that guy to the free
safety,” the comerback said. "But I knew
that wasn’t tme, and so did the free safety
and so did the coach. We won the game
and we all got a big laugh out of watching
that receiver catch the ball. But I noticed
the coach showed that play over and over
again six or seven times, so I got the mes­
sage. All jokes aside, he was telling me not
to let it happen again.”
Comerback is such a difficult position
to play primarily because of whom the
comerback must play against.
"The comerback is a rare breed of foot­
ball player,” one coach noted, “a rare
combination of great speed to run with
the premier athletes that are playing
the wide receiver positions and great
strength to support the mshing defense
and the intelligence to know which func­
tion to perform when.”
More and more, comerbacks are being
confronted with wide receivers who can
cover 40 yards in 4.5 seconds and even 4.3
seconds. Thus, speed and something
coaches like to refer to as ‘quickfootedness” are unconditional prerequisites to
play comerback.
Whereas the free safety is concerned
almost entirely with covering the pass,
the comerback also must keep a wary eye
on the line of scrimmage, particularly
against a team which deploys an option
offense. Of course, there are exceptions,
but most coaches like their comerbacks
io be responsible for tackling the trailing
running back im a pitch-option situation.

36t

Thus, the comerback is paired against a
Grade A athlete whether he is playing
pass or run.
Most comerbacks do not come straight
out of high school ready-made. With the
limited number of quality athletes avail­
able to most high school coaches, the
best athletes ordinarily are assigned to
play offense. That makes recruiting cornerbacks a less than exact science at best.
The consensus seems to be that a good
collegiate comerback needs to be at least
six feet tall, preferably taller; he should
weigh a minimum of 180 pounds, pre­
ferably more; he needs to mn the 40-yard
dash in 4.6 seconds, preferably faster; not
to mention intangible qualities such as
aggressiveness, the jumping ability of a
basketball player, feet that respond in­
stantaneously to change-of-direction sig­
nals from the brain, and the wherewitheill
to know when to foresake pass coverage
to charge an oncoming rush which as
likely as not will be led by a much larger
fullback or even a huge guard.
Of course, there are exceptions. At one
southern school not too many years ago,
there was a universally respected comer­
back who stood only 5-7 and weighed
only 140 pounds. Any wide receiver who
mistook his lack of size for deficiencies in
other, more important areas, soon dis­
covered otherwise.
\bu better have good comerbacks,”
one coach said, "because it only takes one
play to get beat back there. Of all the po­
sitions on defense, comerback requires
more total concentration than any other.
If the comerback doesn’t read every time,
then that play could result in the touch­
down that beats you. It is a real pressure
position.”
It must be conceded, however, that
there are advantages and disadvantages
to the fact that comerbacks have no place
to hide on a football field, that their every
move is open for inspection by everyone
from the head coach to the cheerleaders
to the peanut vendor.
“There is gloiy in intercepting a pass
for a touchdown,” admitted one coach,
no question about it. And there is some­
thing to be said for going one-on-one
against the other team’s fastest athlete
and coming out on top, but the bad part is
when the comerback gets beat. He’s out
there all by himself.”
In other words, he’s like the pitcher
who gives up a home mn in the bottom of
the ninth inning of a baseball game that is
tied 0-0. He has no one to blame but him­
self, and outside his girlfi'iend he isn’t
likely to receive much sympathy.
Comerbacks are not the last line of de­
fense in most schemes. That distinction
commonly goes to the free safety. But if a
skillful receiver can elude a comerback,
who is almost always a better athlete than
the free safety, a touchdown at that point

Covering speed is the cornerback’s role.
seems almost inevitable.
It is the interception that attracts the
most attention to comerbacks, although
since the free safety is more of a pure
pass-protector it is he who is likely to
intercept a pass. All coaches love it when
one of their players intercepts a pass, but
in most instances a coach would prefer
that his comerback simply break up a
pass rather than gamble for the intercep­
tion, especially since the possibility of los­
ing the game might result in a touch­
down.
‘You have your hell-bent-for-leather
gamblers,” one coach observed, "and
they’ll make a lot of good plays, if they’re
good comerbacks. But they’ll make some
bad ones, too. And in my opinion, the
secondary is a bad place to do any gam­
bling, particularly in a tight game."
There is no such thing as the perfect
comerback.
"The only guy who has never been beat
is the guy who never played comerback,”
one coach noted. “Either that or he
played in one game and the other team
never threw the ball.
"But the worst thing that can happen,”
that same coach continued, "is for a
comerback to worry about getting beat.
It’ll happen every time if he ever starts to
worry. Those guys are going to get beat,
period, no ifs, ands or buts. What they
have to do is accept that fact and try to
learn from their mistcikes.
In that respect,” he added, "playing
comerback is like playing quarterback. If
a quarterback thinks he’s going to play a
perfect game, he’s wrong. The same
applies to a comerback. It’s like a golfer.
Once a golfer faces the fact that he’s going
to hit some bad shots and resigns himself
to the fact that what he has to do is be
prepared to compensate for those bad
shots with more good shots, then he’s in
good shape mentally.”

In baseball it’s the suicide squeeze, in basketball it’s the high
feed and in football it’s the safety blitz.
They’re all high-risk gambles in athletics that guarantee
nothing but action. Fans love them and coaches hold their
breath because something will happen ... but what?
If it s executed correctly the suicide squeeze can result in
one run, the high feed in two points and the safety blitz in a
fumble or a bungled play.
If not, it’s an out, a turnover and a touchdown. A touchdown?
Not always, but a big gainer is the best you can hope for.
“ Hey, something is going to happen when the safety blitz
is on, ” a head coach in the East chuckled. "You
usually cross your fingers and hope for the
best. It’s exciting and usually effective, but it
can also kill you.’’
The safety blitz, in short, is an attack on the
offense via the rush from the safety. Normally a
pass defender who only gets into the action
against the run when the ballcarrier has
broken into the secondary, the safety is the
primary weapon in a safety blitz. He

comes barrelling through the middle of
the offense at full speed trying to sack the
quarterback or ballcarrier or better yet
create a fumble.
However, the pitfalls are obvious.
The safety is his team's last line of de­
fense, and when he joins the attack
troops there’s nobody back should the of­
fense ever breaik one.
"I love the play,” said a former All-Big
Ten safety. “We used it a lot when I was in
college and I loved to stick my nose in
where the action was. The only problem I
found at 195 pounds was when I met
some 235-pound fullback head-on. A
safety gets a quick appreciation of what
it’s like in the trenches.”
The safety blitz is usually part of an
edl-out blitz by the defense in almost cer­
tain passing situations. Not only is the
safety coming but so are the linemen and
linebackers—a total of eight or nine in all.
"I remember the day we came with 11
guys and that’s what you call a real all-out
blitz,” a defensive coordinator at a Mid­
west school recalled with a laugh. “We’d
practiced it all week and when we ran it,
the- other team was somehow prepared
and ran the only play that could hurt us.
It scored on a long run and we lost by

continued
seven points.”
The safety blitz, however, is not as risky
as the 11-man rush.
“The key to the safety blitz is disguising
it,” a veteran head coach in the West said.
“Most people line the free safety up about
10 to 14 yards from the line of scrimmage.
When he’s blitzing, he must come from
five yards. Therefore, you have to set it up
before using it or you’ll get burned.”
What usually happens is that the free
safety (he’s the one who plays centerfield
as opposed to the strong safety who lines
up on the tight end or wide side of the
field) fakes like he’s blitzing a number of
times a game. He’ll simply walk up to
within five yards of the line of scrimmage
and make sure the quarterback knows
he’s there before backing out.
“If he came from 14 yards out, he’d
never get there in time to do any good,
and if he walked up to five yards for the
first time in the game the offense would
likely call a play to burn him,” the head
coach from the West continued. “It’s very
important for the safety to drop back in
time when he’s faked the blitz because if
he gets caught in a quick count he can
stUl get burned.”
The safety blitz is most often done with

The end result of a successful blitz: a bungled play.

the free safety ailthough the strong safety
can blitz from the comer. And it’s usually
called by the team that is behind or an
underdog in an attempt to get something
going.
The safety blitz is a solid, fundamental
defensive play that every major college in
the country has in at least one form or
another. And, as is the case with many
other football strategies that often bring
spectacular results, the threat of the
safety blitz is often as effective as the blitz
itself.
The safety is never on his own to call
the blitz but he does have the option to,
cancel it if he doesn’t like the offensive
formation his opponents are in.
There is a great deal of team coordina­
tion involved in this kind of play, as there
is in all aspects of football. Many teams
have parts of every practice session set
aside to work on different kinds of blitzes,
not all of them involving the safety.
The safety has a specific hole in the of­
fensive line that he is to make his charge
through, and it’s usually on one side of
the center or the other. That means that
the noseguard or the middle linebacker
goes to the opposite side of the center to
open the hole. Should there be a mixup in
the defense and two defenders go
through the same hole, the results could
be devastating if the offense has called the
right play.
What often happens in the safety blitz,
is that the ball is handed off to the tail­
back and he follows the fullback into the
gaping hole filled only by the safety.
This is the time the safety has to show
what he’s made of. He’s got to be ready to
take on the block and squeeze the play
toward his teammates. If he isn’t able to
force the mnner toward his help, it
could mean a touchdown.
Another area that has to be covered in
the all-out blitz with the safety is if the
backs go out on short pass routes. It’s the
responsibility of the outside linebackers
to blitz and then engage the backs. If they
are going out on pass patterns the
linebackers must cover them.
“The safety blitz is most effective
against dropback passing teams,” a
head coach from The East said. And, it’s
usually only effective two or three times a
game at the most. Any more than that and
you’re really taking a gamble.
“This type of defensive play is not a
wise choice, either against option teams
or teams that have good throwing quar­
terbacks who pass from a half or . full
rollout.
“You rarely see a safety blitz from a
team that is ahead. It’s the trailing team
looking for a turnover that will try it.
Whenever you see that safety coming you
can rest assured that one side’s going to
be smiling at the end of the play—but you
never know which side.”

A NONTECHNICAL LOOK
AT THE TECHNKAL ADVANTAGES
OF USING STP GAS TREATMENT
It all starts with this wonderful
chemical called
Alkylhydroxybenzylpolyamine.
Fancy name for something that looks
like a balloon on a string. But, as the
primary active ingredient, it does two
important things in your car’s fuel
system:
First, it helps remove water from your
gas tank by surrounding droplets of
water, suspending them in your gas
so they can pass
~
harmlessly through
your fuel system.
Second, it helps pre­
vent grundge like
gum and varnish
from sticking to metal
surfaces of the fuel
system in two ways:
By coating the metal
surfaces of the fuel
system and by sur­
rounding the gum and
____
varnish to keep them from getting a
toehold. This helps keep your car­
buretor clean and that helps maintain
peak engine performance.
Still with us?
So far, all you’ve got to remember is
that STP Gas Treatment fights back
against bad guys in your fuel system.
Now for the second thing to
remember: All this isn’t fiction. It’s
fact. Results proven in scientific tests.
For instance:

FIGHTS RUST.

These two
steel bars
were both
soaked in
the same gas
plus water.
Only dif­
ference? The
gas used with
the bar on the
right contained
STP Gas
Treatment.
FIGHTS WATER.

Water causes more than rust. It
can freeze, too. Brrrr! Regular use
can lessen the likelihood of gas
line freeze. Tests proved STP Gas
Treatment increases the emulsifica­
tion of water and that means it helps
water get through your system, out
your exhaust.

In summary.
Maybe you’ve never
thought about using a
gas treatment. Well, you
should. Odds are,
you’ve got some bad
guys lurking in your fuel
system. Things you
ought to fight back
against- if you want to
keep your car running
like it ought to.
STP Gas Treatment
does exactly that.

Simulated TV picture.

25% SHARPER COU>R PICTURE
THAN EVER BEFORE POSSIBLE.
MORE LI NES OF RESOLUTION
MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

sharp your color TV picture will be.
The more lines, the sharper the picture.
And Magnavox has more lines than
ever before possible.
Ordinary color fV pictures have
260 lines. Magnavox Computer
Color 330 delivers 330 lines. That’s
25% more lines of resolution for
|
Magnavox.

I

That means Magnavox has a 25%
sharper, crisper, clearer color picture.
