Lewis scooted through the Colorado State defense for 147 yards and also scored three touchdowns. Two weeks ago against Hawaii quarterback, Mark Stevens broke the century mark by going for 128 yards and two scores. Against San Diego State, three weeks ago, Gerald Johnson had his day as he ran for 133 yards. Currently Utah isaveraging214.6yardsper game on the ground. That ranks them third in the WAC in rushing offense and 22nd in the nation. UTE SORE SPOTS: As of Monday the Ute injury report looked like this. Walt Dixon is still out with a sprained knee. Michael Hines sufferd a knee injury in practice last week and is out of the year. Against Colorado State linebacker Ron Ketchoyian suffered an injured foot and is questionable this week as is defensive back Jeff Rogers who has a hamstring pull. Offensive tackle Carlton Walker has a bruised calf but should play against UTEP. Linebacker Chris Moore who missed last week is probable this week. 1983 FOOTBALL SEASON SCOUTING THE MINERS: UTEP is 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in WAC play with losses to San Diego State and Wyoming. On offense the Miners are led by "Mr. Everything" Kevin Ward who plays quarterback, tailback and whatever else they want. Ward is the team's leading rusher with 78carries for 314 yards and a 4.5 average. He has also scored four touchdowns. Fullback Rob Moore has rushed for 283 yards while tailback Ernie Jackson has rushed for 247 yards. Top UTEP receiver is wing back Eric Anderson who has 11 catches for 158 yards. The Miners have not thrown a touchdown pass this year. THE UTEP LINE (Avg./Gamc): UTEP Rush 212 Pass 115.8 Total Offense 349.4 Scoring 17.2' OPP Rush 162 Pass 196.2 Total Offense 374.4 Scoring 26.2 SERIES RECORD: Utah leads in the series 12-4. Last IIte win was n 1982 45-30 in El Paso. Last Miner win was in 1974 in El Paso 34-7. Utah has won seven in a row since that time. Last UTEP win in Salt Lake was in 1967 when they won 28-8. COACHES: Utah's Chuck Stobart is in his second year at Utah and has posted a 7-9 record. His seven-year coaching mark is 31-40-1. UTEP's Bill Yung is in his second year as UTEP head man. He is 3-14 at UTEP and has an overall seven-year mark of 28-37-2. STOBART SAYS: On the Utes: "The Colorado State loss was a heartbreaking loss because it's a game where we didn't play as well as we had been but still could have won the game. We justcouldn't make the plays when we had to on either offense or defense. We lacked intensity we have been used to. "On offense we really played pretty well. It was kind of a different game because the ball only changed hands len times. Our inability to get our defense off the field also hurt us. You don't lose a game, however, with just one phase of your team." On Texas-El Paso: "A year ago in El Paso they came back and played pretty well against us in the last half. They area much improved team and are very young. When you are that young you get better with each game. They are just waiting for the game when they will break loose." UTE NOTES: Utah is third in total defense in the conference and first in rushing defense.Free safety Reggie Richardson is still leading the conference in pass interceptions and is 12th in the nation. UTEP place kicker Scott Wedell is the number one kicker in the WAC this week. He has hit on 7-12 field goals this season. NEXT WEEK: Utah hosts Wyoming in a 1:30 p.m. game in Rice Stadium while the Miners travel to Air Force. PAGE 5 Utes' Reyes Turning Dreams Into Reality When Jeff Reyes was growing up in California he dreamed, like most little boys, of becoming a football player and a fireman. Well, unlike most boyhood dreams that fade to dust as manhood nears, Reyes' dreams may yet come true. The 6-3, 240 pound Ute defensive end has already fulfilled his dream of playing college football and his dream of playing in the NFL may yet come to pass. Tonight's game against UTEP marks the halfway point of Jeff's final year of college competition and Reyes is on a pace that is making the NFL scouts stand up and take notice. He currently leads the Utes in sacks and has become one of the best pass rushers in the Western Athletic Conference this season. Against Hawaii two weeks ago in Rice Stadium Reyes had five quarterback sacks on Rainbow quarterback Raphel Cherry and four hurries. His play was so outstanding that he was named Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week. Reyes' sacks have come at important times for the Utes and have thrown water on a team just when they were getting hot. The fact that Jeff would like to become a fireman when his football career is over is just coincidental. Ute defensive end Jeff Reyes loves to put the fire out on opposing quarterbacks. "Rushing the passer is my favorite thing to do on the football field," explained Reyes. "I feel that my biggest assets are quickness, strength and good balance. All the things that you need to make you a good pass rusher.' Reyes feels that the Ute defense, despite last week's game against Colorado State, is an excellent defense. "The guys really care about defense," said Jeff. "We have always been one of the top defenses in the Western Athletic Conference and we are striving for that goal again this season. We have a tradition of good defensive play here at Utah." Jeff has many goals on and off the football field but he feels that if he can always do a couple of things during a game he will play well. "I try to play the best I can every game," he said. "I like to keep a high intensity level because then you always play better." Reyes is a Sociology major at the University and would like to stay in Salt Lake after graduation to pursue a career as a fireman. That's after he gives pro football a shot. "Ever since I was a little kid I've always wanted to be a fireman," explained Jeff. "I feel that it would be a satisfying job and I feel that I could handle it both physically and mentally.' Right now Jeff is not worrying so much about burning buildings but if you are an opposing quarterback who gets hot, watch out, Reyes will be there to douse the fire.

With the expansion of the Stadium, which was completed last year, the Utes now have one of the best stadiums in the Western Athletic Conference. The new stadium seats 35,000 people and there is not a bad seat in the house. The field was lowered nine and a half feet with new seats added along the sides and in the south end zone. The new remodeling has made every fan feel like his seat is intimate with the action on the field. A new facilities building was also completed under the south stands, and houses new locker rooms for both teams and game officials, a stadium cl ub room and a band room. Several new concession areas have also been installed in the new stadium. One of the best things about the new stadium is the four-color matrix scoreboard, the only one of its kind located on a college campus in the country. The scoreboard is almost as much fun as the RICE STADIUM Top 15 Crowds T R SS S 11 uu ru vv V STl T WW w DENTS CIION ^ r i! / / 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

There are 4,600 lights in the matrix and each one is individually controlled. Almost any kind of visual effect can be produced on the screen. The stadium also features new AstroTurf which was installed during the latest rennovation. It is the same kind of AstroTurf that is featured in Texas Stadium in Dallas. The last remodeling of the stadium took place in 1972 when the first AstroTurf was intalled along with the Scholarship Box, located on the east side of the stadium. A new lighting systems and new ticket and concession areas were also installed at that time. First rudiments of the stadium were completed in 1927. Constant improvements and remodeling projects since that time have made it one of the finest in the West. Rice Stadium is a timber and concrete structure with dirt fill. A major remodeling project was completed in 1966 which saw the installation of a press box on the west side. Utah defeated Colorado Mines 44- 6 in the first football contest played in the stadium.

How your life insurance may pay your premium costs for you. Many people want lifetime protection. But they don't want to pay out-of-pocket premium costs their entire lives. You can solve this problem with New York Life's special "premium offset" arrangement for whole life insurance. With it, dividends declared by New York Life are used to buy additional permanent life insurance. After a number of years (usually 7 to 11), these additions can be surrendered periodically. Their cash value, plus future dividends, can be used to offset the entire annual premium costs of your basic policy. Dividends can't be guaranteed, of course, but we 're proud of our dividend record which goes back more than a century. Interested? Call one of these New York Life Agents. Helpingyou is their full-time job. These are some of the many New York Life Agents in this area-all good people to know. GENERAL OFFICES: Val J.

Prevention of Injury: A Team Effort by Bob Bedore "Prevention of injury is the number one priority." That's what head trainer Bill Bean has to say about his job. And trying to keep some 400 or so athletes healthy enough for the continuous beating that a sport such as football can dish out or the straining of muscles that distance running can induce isn't all it's "cracked" up to be. To help Bean in his duties is a fine staff of two other full-timers, Debra Willardson (women's sports) and Les Chatelain (assistant trainer), five graduate students, and about eleven under-grads. Bean also works in three top-notch training rooms, one in the HPER building, one in the football stadium, and one in the Special Events Center. Bill Bean, himself, has found much success in the training business. He started with a degree from Utah State, went on to the Army Medical Service Corps for two years, received a job as the assistant trainer for Washington State, then became the head trainer for the Utah Stars. When the Stars left, Bill got his Masters from the University of Utah and became head trainer in 1977. In 1980, Bean was named the trainer for the ITS. Olympic Nordic Skiing Team. In his years here with Utah, Bean has seen the training department expand. "Every year we learn more and more," said Bean. New equipment has also helped his cause. Some of you might see the Utes with a strange metal brace on their knees. This is an Anderson Knee Stabilizer and it is designed to cut down the large number of knee-related inj uries that occur each year. "So far, with the help of our team doctors, I feel that we have one of the top 15% training facilities among major Universities," quoted Bill Bean. An interesting fact that you may not have considered is the things that go on before the game. The players don't have their moms drop them off a few minutes before game time, then throw on their uniforms and go play. Far from it. It takes a staff of twelve trainers two to three hours to 'tape up" and get them as ready as possible for the game. But what happens if a player does get hurt, you ask? Well, if something should happen, immediate first aid can be given and various check ups can be UNIVERSITY OF U T AH Vie trainer Bill Bean and his staff are one of the reasons that Ute quarterback Mark Stevens and his mates keep healthy every week. made in the training room. Even if a player mentions a slight injury, he or is given a complete once-over to check on the seriousness of the injury. Then, on Sunday, there are two treatment sessions to make sure that everyone who is supposed to be healthy is just that. After the injury has been discovered, Bean and his staff go through the first stage of recovery. An injured player does not just sit and wait to heal. The training staff first makes sure that the person is healing properly. After the first stage of rehabilitation is complete, the athlete then is turned over to the strength training staff to maintain the strength in the injured portion of the body, or, if it is still too weak for that, they work on the rest of the body to make sure that it - as a whole - doesn't lose its strength or endurance. Now some of you might not know that trainers go through college studying to be trainers. They're not doctors - they can give first aide - but they have their own special area to study. The Uis putting out people for this job. The graduate and undergrads working with Bean are trying to get their 1,800 hours of internship to qualify them to take the certification exam offered by the N.A.T.A. The job market for them is not as good as it could be, however. It seems that only a few states, Utah not included, call for a certified trainer to be present at all high schools. The job now is being filled by coaches with only marginal experience in the subject, most of this coming from their days of playing sports. Bill Bean is one of the people trying to push for Utah and the other state to make this a mandatory position. "Right now, Utah colleges are putting out many fine trainers, all with no place to go," said Bean. Many high school injuries could be avoided with such a program. So remember as you look upon a Utah athlete, that his or her well-being is being looked over and protected as best as humanly possible by Bill Bean and his excellent staff of dedicated workers. PAGE 27 TT. Wi # by Jim Poore, Idaho Statesman They tend to lurk in the shadows, faceless players who either open the offensive spigot for faster, smaller and more famous teammates or toil In frustration when things arent clicking. In either case, most coaches feel offensive linemen tend to be praised too faintly when things go right or damned too loudly when they go wrong. One West Coast football coach, whose passing game the last few years has been a trend-setter in college football, knows what every other coach in the nation knows-if the offensive line hasnt got it together on game day, nobody else will. "We sure emphasize it. We tell the rest of the guys they would have to pay to get into the game if it weren't for the offensive line," he said. "It's the press that doesnt emphasize it." Quarterbacks who dont appreciate their offensive linemen are bound to live in agony at times. "A quarterback has got to make sure the offensive line gets credit for any success he has," said one midwestern coach. "Those guys are the keys to his success, those are the guys that take all the punishment while the quarterback gets all the glory. If he doesnt appreciate them, that might affect them, make them ease up unconsciously. After he's been hit a couple of times, he'll learn to appreciate them." Offensive linemen are just another in a long line of overlooked cogs in more complex issues. After all, who remembers the names of the men who held the horses for the James gang or the guys who sang backup for Elvis? But they were there. Maybe the names are shuffled while the stars remain static, but once the organization breaks down in mid-stream, even the biggest star-bank-robber, singer or college quarterback-is bound to have his act flounder. That's why, with the passing game catching on everywhere, the pass-blocking efficiencies of offensive linemen everywhere-from Division 1-A national contenders to the most struggling Division III team-are being polished and scrutinized more than ever and why a good offensive lineman is suddenly as prized as a game-breaking tailback. Being an offensive lineman may not be the most glamorous position, but a lot of coaches think it's one of the most difficult positions in football. "I've always felt the two hardest positions to play in football are the secondary and the offensive line," said one coach. "You've got more things to learn. You may have to block one play six different ways. Every time the quarterback comes to the line of scrimmage and sets you, yquVe got a split second to make your decision." In the past, offensive linemen might come from anywhere-an overloaded fullback corps, the defensive line or wherever there were players who continued It ^©TECTUM® TOE PASSED continued couldnt quite make it and yet were too big and strong to be sitting on the bench. That's changing. "You have an ideal player in your mind, but very seldom do you get that ideal," said a coach from the Far West. "You want a good athlete, but you're looking for the physical qualities plus the subjective things. Speed, quickness and size are part of being a good athlete but you also want an outstanding competitor with a good attitude, a guy who can really self-evaluate, the kind of guy who can improve, improve, improve." Knute Rockne may Ijave looked for the passes, fake passes. When an offensive coordinator comes up with something he thinks might work with the ball in the air, there has to be time for the quarterback and his receivers to interact. The offensive lineman has to be prepared to provide enough time so his quarterback can (a) have the time to set up and get the play off and (b) not have to worry about some 6-7, 280-pound defensive tackle chopping him in two every other down. How is an offensive lineman supposed to go about doing this? It's not necessarily size that's the key, although many coaches fantasize about perfect sizes for the An offensive lineman has to have good feet when he s blocking so he can stay in front of the passer. same qualities. So, what's the difference between today and the days when Ronald Reagan used to toil in anonymity on the offensive line at Eureka College in Illinois? There are lots of differences. The plays-especially the passing plays-are getting more complicated all the time. Bigger, stronger, quicker and more sophisticated defensive players have dictated that the offense evolve as well. An offensive lineman has to learn all his run assignments plus how to block for a myriad of passing plays-screens, drop-backs, sprintouts, short passes, long guards, tackles and centers that would have them wearing size 60 coats and size 32 pants. There are some awfully good offensive linemen in the 6-2, 235-pound range who can block 6-5, 260-pound defensive linemen with the ease of a tug managing the Queen Mary. "The key is the feet. An offensive lineman has to have good feet so that when he's pass blocking he can stay in front of the guy," said one coach from the Northwest who installed a passing offense that turned his team from last to first in the space of one season. "In a passing situation, you don't have to have a guy who knocks somebody 10 feet off the ball. Talented feet and the ability to deliver a blow make the defensive lineman start his charge all over again. Size is okay if you have it. But you can get by easier with pass blocking than you can running the football." Other coaches want their offensive linemen to cast Mount Everest-type shadows. "The offensive linemen in our league are really big," said a West Coast coach who's made several trips to the Rose Bowl in the past few years. "Physical size helps a lineman; he's bigger and harder to get around." What would be a perfect offensive line? The tackles might be 6-7, 265 pounds and the tight end 6-4, 235. For some leagues those sizes will be bigger, for others smaller. But squat-like or sequoia-like, the feet come into play again. "You've got to have good feet," the West Coast coach said. "It's almost like chicken fighting; you're putting your hands on a guy trying to keep him away from your body. The defensive linemen are so big and strong these days, it's incredible." A typical play for an offensive lineman might go like this. The play is called in the huddle. As the lineman leaves the huddle for the line of scrimmage he's automatically ^thinking about what his job is on that particular play. Once he's at the line, the lineman has to recognize what defense the other team is in and who he's lined up against. Just when he thinks he's got everything in order, the quarterback might call an audible-changing the play if he sees a defense the called play wont work againsMf and the whole thought process has'tff start over again. The linemen have to talk to each other, asking for help or volun* teering it in case the other team stugjp. Once the ball is snapped and the quai^ back drops back or sprints to either ! to throw the ball, the offensive lineman has to stay with the player he's assigned to block until the last possible second. All of this takes place in a matter of seconds and if anybody along the line cant maintain his block for the time needed to get the pass off, then the whole process is scuttled. When that happens, the quarterback is either sacked or he starts scrambling, trying to throw on the run. That's when the offensive lineman's errors are broadcast to the crowd. When the pass is successful, the eyes have been following the ball, long having left the area where the offensive linemen are just finishing their struggle to keep some gigantic defensive lineman from getting to the quarterback. continued 2t PIRI0TECT1M© TOE iMSSElrl continued Those passing plays that captivate the crowd while the offensive linemen struggle in the trenches against the defense are varied. Some teams run a strictly drop-back passing offense where the quarterback takes the snap and retreats directly behind the center. Others run play-action schemes where the quarterback fakes to a runner going into the line and rolls to the right or left to look for receivers running their patterns. Then again, there's passing off the option. The assignments for various passing attacks differ. Dropback: When the play calls for the quarterback to take the snap and retreat behind the center, staying in the protective pocket set up by his teammates, an offensive lineman must stay under control. The block is aggressive, but the lineman cant overextend himself and let the defensive player slip inside his block. In blocking for a dropback passing situation, the lineman has to block from the inside out. The feet should be parallel and the shoulders square. The second the ball is snapped, the offensive lineman should deliver a good blow to the chest of the defensive player and keep the arms extended within the width of the shoulders. Several years ago, the rules on holding were changed to allow offensive linemen to use their hands if they keep them within the width of the shoulders. Still, oftentimes that's not enough for eager defensive linemen who cant wait to crash the party. If an offensive lineman cant maintain absolute control of his opponent, he tries to run him outside of where the quarterback is setting up to pass. In dropback situations, an offensive ' A-*. . ^ l • * ¥ • rarU t *i K 1 \ -i V 4T • K *«U 1 CJ £ IV • :*™: '~mm***mBMm**--~-- m m far * t * * •V - -v' • - ---•«. •-™™ TJ™-™-,,^ aw-p-f*, J&-&\*^s$&Tsmmmmi H ^Mr# Quarterbacks who don't appreciate their offensive linemen may not get to deliver many passes this easily. linemen must be like a bodyguard for a famous movie star-he's got to keep himself between the fans and the star, no matter what the cost. Sprintout: Here the linemen can be more aggressive in their blocking schemes. While there are always variations on how a lineman blocks different plays, the stan- The combination of quick feet and the ability to deliver a blow is considered a key to effective pass blocking. dard procedure on a sprintout is to fire out in a manner not unlike a running play. The lineman must maintain the contact, especially on the side of the center where the play is developing, because the quarterback is going to be going down the line of scrimmage. Penetration by a defensive lineman can easily kill the play so the offensive linemen must be aware of where the quarterback is at all times. Screen Pass: On this play, the offensive lineman gives the defensive player a hit, holds for one count, and then lets the player slip by him in what appears to be a clear avenue to the quarterback. The lineman then gets out as wide as possible in the direction of the screen where he helps block for the receiver. Teams that rely strictly on a dropback attack put the most pressure on offensive linemen. "If you're a pure dropback team, that allows the defense to lay its ears back and come after you," said one midwestern coach. "The quarterback sets back there in the pocket and you've got to protect him for a certain amount of time. When the defensive line starts to mix up things with stunts, it's tough on the offensive linemen. TheyVe got to switch off. If a team moves the quarterback around, it makes it tougher on the defensive lineman because they dont know where the guy is going to be." £ 4t THE INNOVATORS by Jack Clary JL m rr Jo one ever invented anything!" In those five simple words, spoken more than a half century ago when intercollegiate football was swinging along to the tune of the single and double wing formations, and the Notre Dame "Box" or shift, Jess Harper dismissed all of the claims made by^some of college football's most hallowed names as to who really did what to establish the basic tools for what has become the American game Of football. continued "Pop" Warner introduced the single and double wing formations. 7t INNOVATORS And in so doing, Harper also dismissed himself, because as coach of Notre Dame back in the teens, he was given credit for developing the forward pass after successfully utilizing it with Knute Rockne andGusDorais. Harper probably was being a bit harsh on such football pioneers as Amos Alonzo Stagg, Walter Camp, Percy Haughton, Glenn (Pop) Warner, Bob Zuppke, Rockne, and such later innovators as Wallace Wade and Clark Shaughnessy. This group, more than any other, really developed the tactics and techniques which we see every weekend on gridirons around the nation . . . and they did most of it when there were only 46 states in the Union and the Wright Brothers' idea of flying was still a concept whose time had not yet come. It really is a bit startling to discover that so much of what we take for granted in this sport had its genesis among so few of the game's great immortals, most of whom were born more than a century continued ago. Some might consider this the first symptom of a sport gone moribund, but that really isnt the case. After all, there is only so much you can do with eleven men on each side, playing on a field that has distinct boundaries and under rules which are most precise as to how the game will be played. It is what one does under those constraints that matters, and those old masters, once they divorced the sport from the rugby game, found all sorts of wonderful maneuvers that helped to develop football's current popularity. Each fall millions of people fill stadiums all over the country to watch . . and wonder . . . and cheer. And while they're cheering, perhaps they-and today's coaches, as w e l l - could spare an extra hip-hip-hooray for the following football innovators. Amos Alonzo Stagg was part of our great-grandparents' past, but American college football would be extinct without him, and that includes today's game in which both teams are using the T-for- Stanford's Clark Shaughnessy perfected the T-formation. Walter Camp introduced the use of signals to begin a play. mation. Stagg invented it-and he did it nearly a century ago-in 1888-when rules changes brought linemen and backs closer together. Six years later his quarterbacks were taking direct snaps from the center as they do today. Even before he established those T-formation mechanics, Stagg had installed the end-around play in 1891 while coaching at Springfield YMCA in Massachusetts (now Springfield College). Before the turn of the century, his offense included a delayed buck (1899) from the T-formation, allowing the QB to fake first to one back, then hand the ball to another. In 1903, his University of Chicago teams, led by quarterback Walter Eckersall, had a deadly quarterback keeper play, much like that used in the split-T of two decades ago and certainly the father of the keepers of today's Wishbone and Veer formations. Stagg also was the first to establish the passing game as an integral part of an offense, following its legalization in 1906. His Chicago teams that year had a most sophisticated attack, including a replica of today's play-action sequences where a quarterback will first fake a run, then drop back and pass. That team also used the sprint-out pass, crossing patterns, the use of a single flanker, or split end, and the use of double flankers as are seen in the pro-set formations. Many of these continued St INNOVATORS were not popularized until the 1940s when, as we shall shortly see, Clark Shaughnessy revived Stagg's system and spruced it up. However, a quarter-century after establishing the basic patterns for a passing attack-an offense that Harper helped to popularize while he had Rockne and Dor-ais at Notre Dame-Stagg tossed in the use of men in motion or "pedingers, "as he called them, after the player on his Chicago team who became the first to peel off and run to either side of the field, before sprinting downfield to catch a pass. Stagg didnt stop with the T-formation. He developed the onsides kick in 1894, then used a placekick for field goals in continued 1897, a feature that lay dormant for almost forty years, as dropkickers dominated the game until the early 1930s. Stagg also had a player who could center the ball with a spiral snap, and used this talent in 1899 to introduce the short punt formation, where a kicker stood about seven yards behind the quarterback. Prior to this, the ball was rolled backward on the ground from center to be kicked. Shortly after the turn of the century, in 1904, he developed the first blocking sled, padded his goal posts to avoid injury to players in 1906 and was the first to turn his players out for spring practice in 1914. In that same era were Walter Camp and Percy Haughton. The former is Coach Wallace Wade helped revolutionize football equipment. touted as the father of American football, but his most significant contribution was introducing, in 1882, the use of signals to begin a play. Haughton, like Stagg, was not wedded to the mass-power play system that Camp had popularized, and most believe that Haughton's greatest single achievement was wresting control of the Rules Committee from Camp in 1910 and helping to unleash the forward pass. The forward pass opened up the game and made it more appealing. At the same time, the rules stipulated that the ball must be thrown five yards right or left, and five yards back of the spot where it was put into play. If the play was unsuccessful, a team was tagged with a 15-yard penalty. Haughton helped to change those rules with the addition of an extra, or fourth, down in which to make a first down. This meant added protection for the passer and the receiver (who could be hit while the ball was in flight) and, of course, no restrictions on passing distances. Haughton, who was also Harvard's coach during this time, is credited with first using defensive signals, and, in 1904, with developing the trap play. The wingback formations-single and double-were Pop Warner's creations and they dominated college football from their inception in 1908-1910 until the early 1940s when the T-formation came into vogue. And they're not dead yet since many teams use them as "shotgun" alignments on obvious third down passing situations. The single wing, with one back flanked outside the end, was basically a power formation, utilizing a tailback who stood seven yards behind center to handle the ball. In its pure form, two tackles were set side-by-side and the heart of the offense ran through them. Warner popularized it when Jim Thorpe was his tailback at Carlisle and regularly beat up on the East's larger schools. Though power was its hallmark, Warner's agile mind instilled plenty of speed and deception, with reverses and passes as integral parts of his single wing offense. When he went to Stanford in the 1920s, he used the double wing, flanking both halfbacks outside the ends. This offense was built on a hard-running fullback as the lone setback, abetted by a series of double and even triple reverses. When Warner brought his Stanford team to Yankee Stadium in 1928, he dazzled coaches and media alike with a devastating offense built on these principles, and soon the double wing had its circle of disciples. Warner's creative genius has left other legacies. One is the body block, which he developed in 1906 as an adjunct to the continued lOt Who gives you investment ideas from the same source money managers look to the most? Who else but Merrill Lynch.

Clary has written eight books on football, including a collaboration with Paul Brown on Brown's autobiography. shoulder block; another was the use of protective pads, which he fashioned by molding soaked pieces of fabric into the various body contours, then coating them with varnish to assume durability. Despite Jess Harper's disavowal, he put the passing game on a popular plane when his Notre Dame team, with Rockne and Dorais, defeated Army in 1914. They popped the eyes of the eastern press with their well-executed passing game, a facet of play little seen in the East at that time. Harper was also the first coach to instruct his passer to throw the ball away if he couldnt find an open receiver (1915) and popularized the "shift" principle that became Rockne's hallmark-and hence the rival to Warner's formations-for the next 15 years. Knute Rockne admitted that he was never an innovator, but he was a master salesman for the sport, as well as for his own system, which had its roots in Harper's and Stagg's methods. Rockne also wrote-and rewrote-coaching books which helped to inject his personality and enthusiasm into the game, particularly his ability to depart from the usual. The game became better when others followed these dictums. Bob Zuppke, along with Warner, was perhaps Rockne's foremost coaching rival. Zuppke's Illinois teams became pioneers in the passing game, as he was the first to drop back bis offensive guards as pass blockers (1920). He developed the Percy Haughton was instrumental in opening up the game with the forward pass. Jess Harper's Notre Dame teams demonstrated the effectiveness of a well-executed passing game. "flea-flicker pass" in 1925. In that year's game vs. Penn, a pass went from a would-be punter to the right end, who then took a few steps forward to draw the tacklers, and then tossed the ball back to Red Grange. Grange picked up a screen of blockers and ran for a TD . Zuppke, who came directly from Oak Park High School, Illinois, to the University of Illinois as a head coach, also introduced the huddle for calling signals and utilized his guards as linebackers to defend against passes (1920). He was constantly improving on the various spread pass formations and claims to have been the first to use the screen pass. Few dispute the claim that he popularized it at Illinois in the 1920s. George Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears, revived the T in the 1930s and called Clark Shaughnessy, then coaching at the University of Chicago, to help him perfect the system. Shaughnessy studied the various aspects of putting men in motion, and when he became Stanford's head coach in 1940, took the system and had an unbeaten season, including a victory over Nebraska in the Rose Bowl. Shaughnessy was a moody genius who forever tinkered with offenses, but his greatest flair was in developing the little wrinkles-using men in motion and the slotting of receivers to open a defense and better utilize a running offense. From his success at Stanford came the, revolution of the T-formation in college football, though the key to Shaughnessjfpfe early success was the ball-handling wizardry of QB Frank Albert, whose slick-ness mesmerized defenses and enabled such talented runners as Hugh Gal-lerneau, Pete Kmetovic and Norm Stand-lee to romp, and also to gain himself extra time to execute Shaughnessy's myriad passing formations. An excellent coach for years at Alabama and Duke, Wallace Wade revolutionize the protective equipment by introducing lighter, yet better-fitting pads which added speed and greater safety for his players. He also was the first coach to equip his backs with low-cut shoes, .when he ordered a pair made in 1925
